This one belongs to my VHS anime old days . I don't know if I still have the VHS somewhere, but I certainly know that I don't have my VCR, so, upon seeing the OVA upped in the net, I went ahead and downloaded it for a nice rewatch and of course, for the sake of nostalgia.
Ellcia, is a fantasy anime for beginning of the nineties, so you can more or less know what to expect. It is a tale set in a very far future where technology has been rediscovered but things stayed with that distinct and usually Japanese balance between technology and medieval culture (in this case since it portrays a more occidental people.).
Our hero Eira is the leader of a small boat of unusual pirates on a land conquered with blood by the greatest nation of earth, Megaronia. Somehow Eira and her pirates sees themselves involved in trouble with Megaronia army when Megaronia princess is in search for a mythic great God ship that according to the legend will bring destruction upon Megaronia if it ever falls in the hands of the "chosen one with royal blood" of that particular conquered country. It happens that the king and queen were killed while Megaronia was conquering the country and the prince, th supposed sole heir, was imprisoned ever since. What they didn't know was that the queen was pregnant of a child during that rampage and that she gave birth to a princess.
You can guess what will happen next, as this fantasy tale, though entertaining, it has no particular clever plot nor does it have great twists. But still is a nice viewing. What impressed me more, was the good animation it had, the character design was kind of different too, but the animation was top notch, I wonder if they used computer and in which scenes. I would like to compare the use of computer in some scenes and todays scenes.
All in all a good and entertaining watch. Recommended for a good dose of 90's fantasy.
