As the story progresses you get to know them more and more, along with what their greatest attribute is, as well as greatest fear. I really dug them, they each have a certain amount of depth and likeness to each. While some voices may feel a bit over exaggerated, (especially regarding some of the villains) I think they pulled it off pretty well. Now regarding the voice actors, I think they did a pretty good job of giving the right girl the right role. I can tell you now though, it certain won't appeal to all, as some may find it a bit too cheesy and girly. I loved the opening and closing to this, both are sung by the same singer and are played out like a high pitched kinda of bouncy magical girl beat.
Most of it does match well with what is going on, and does have an ere to adventure and struggle, even though the only real main memorable background music plays during the battles, all else of it is pretty discrete and sparse. Like the artwork, it does show its age as well. My only complaint with it was the facial expressions, they seemed a bit too stiff at times, and I sometimes found it hard to connect with what they were feeling during the appropriate moments. The character design is also pretty charming to look at, they each have a scenes of style and flare to where you can tell that Clamp (makers of it) really made an effort to give them a nice appeal. Nothing ever feels truly over done with it, and does make you feel attached to the scenery.
Most people may frown when looking at the clarity of it today, but the colors and detailed background were truly at their best when this came out. It never really comes off as exaggerated, but is still there none the less. There still are a few scenes where the girls get stabbed and blood is dripping down from them, or running along their wound. Now while a good portion of the episodes can get away without showing any of the red stuff. Nothing too major, but they are there.Īs far as offensive material goes, there is some blood in this title.
MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH MANGA BAKA REVIEW SERIES
I feel I should mention that although it does have a good number of combat and action scenes, it does play about 30% or more of the series in a somewhat more cutesy and comical approach. It has great character interactions, moving moments and good action scenes. So while it does have a few fillers and may tend to drag on a bit. Wasn't that bad and they worked out a majority of the character's story sequences as much as possibly could. However it is not all without its flaws the most frustrating thing I found with the story is that it tended introduce one too many fillers at some points, and at those times I just wanted them to get on with it already! They also implemented a bit too many characters for this number of episodes, some of the villians we never really got to know much about, and seemed to be their only to keep the cast number large.
The action scenes are also pretty nice, very fluid and thought out, even if it may show a bit of repetitious during some of it. The ending, while not truly epic or anything like that, is a most satisfying experience. The plot twists that happen are pretty surprising as well, both with the over all storyline as well as with the characters, but I won't say what because I don't wanna spoil it for ya. There will also be little side quests that the girls have to go on, that steer way from the main plot in order to keep things a bit more fresh and preventing it from growing stale. You will also be treated to nice little back stories on a majority of the main characters, and learn their strengths and weaknesses alike. Its pretty straight forward in that regards, but along the way they end up meeting endearing friends and allies that assist them in their mission(s). Magic Knight Rayearth was a fresh new take on the female warrior/magical style back in the 90's, that still holds up very well today.īasically we follow three high school girls who get sucked in an alternate dimension, and need to defeat the main enemy oppressing the land, and thus make it home in one peace.
