The Magnificent World of El-Hazard, truly a classic for the ages! And I mean that, too. In comparison to more 'modern' shows, it's my opinion that El-Hazard still measures up to this day, and whether you've loved anime since the days of Astroboy (though I'm not sure how much other anime there was in the 60's, heh), or you've just recently started into the hobby, I'd still strongly recommend the first series of El-Hazard. Be ready for some high-fantasy with a few Final-Fantasy-esque technological advancements. If you're the mecha only type or just aren't a big fan of such things, I'd read more

Watched it on anime marathon at AXN back in 2002. Started watching, and could not move from in front of my TV until it reached the end. Art, sound quality is not as good as today's anime, but storyline is amazing and its enjoyable. The entire story is linked and it is revealed at the last episode. If someone thinks it is made of misplaced events, then I should say he did not understand it properly. Its very precise, never gets boring, and best part is it has a nice flow that will keep you attached. I've rewatched it so many times, never felt boring.

Recommendations

The same person designed both serieses. While El Hazard is not strictly a Harem anime like Tenchi is, there are still a lot of similarities between the two.
Same creator. Similar perversions. Similar comedy types though photon's are closer together.

#1: "Boys be Free!" by Etsuko Kozakura (eps 1-6)
#2: "Chiisana Hana (ちいさな花, Little Flower)" by Yuri Amano (ep 7)
