Magic Knight Rayearth |
A story of 3 girls, an evil priest, monsters, legendary "Mashin", an
evil desire, and an enslaved princess, who is the last hope of the world
of Cefiro.
The world of Cefiro was a peaceful place, never having bad weather,
or hardly any bad things at that. All this is because of a Princess who
prays day and night to keep the world peaceful. See, Cefiro is no ordinary
world. It is a world of willpower. If you wish hard enough, it will happen.
But when this princess is captured by her own powerful priest, Cefiro begins
to collapse.
The legend goes, that when Cefiro begins to collapse, 3 girls from
"the other world" will come to awaken the 3 "Mashin." These 3 girls happen
to be Umi, Hikaru, and Fuu. The trainor, Clef, was attacked and turned
to stone just minutes after the girls reach Cefiro. Now, the inexperienced
girls must follow Mokona, their guide, to awaken the "Mashin". Only
then can the girls become the legendary Magic Knights and save Cefiro from
utter destruction!
Oh, did I mention that this series was created by CLAMP?
MD Geist II: Death Force |
Ok, ok, ok. I know I probably rated this one unfair. But haven't we all seen the old, big-powerful-misfit-hero versus all-powerful-big-army-leader-man? Too much blood (Gallons upon gallons) just rubs me the wrong way. And the ridiculous violence. Well, if you like no plot, blood, and violence, you might like this one. Keep in mind that this is my own opinion. Well, it's definitely not for the squeamish.
Mobile Battleship Nadesico |
Now here's a good anime. It's like a cross between Tenchi and Evangelion.
A cross between Tenchi and Gundam. A cross between Tenchi... and.. basically
any other anime with large Mecha in it. Very funny. The Nadesico is a privately
owned battleship, and the most advanced one, at that. Akito, the main character,
Nadesico's cook and backup mech pilot, is the one all the girls are after.
But this guy is smarter than Tenchi. He gets one! But the one that is most
after him, Nadesico's captain, is one he sure doesn't want. In fact, he
tries to avoid her. And there's the coolest character, Gai, who is an Otaku!
That rules. Anyway, so the Nadesico is powerful, and they can beat these
powerful robot bug things, the Jovian Lizards, using the Nadesico's powerful
advanced weaponry, and the mecha, called Aestivalis, to kill them. The
Nadesico want to save the colony on Mars, but, since they don't want to
protect Earth from the bug threat, they are considered enemies by Earth.
Later in the series (Or as far as I've watched) They are joined by three
other mech pilots. Ryoko, the leader, brash, and harsh. Izumi, completely
insane. (Literally) and Amano, the hyper annoying one. The comedy as well
as the action in this series is great, they have just enough of each. Now
here's a good series.
