Synopsis

In the land of Kuruda, warriors with magical powers and incredible fighting skills battle for the ultimate prize: the title of Sevaar, the strongest warrior in the land. Elle Ragu, nicknamed Shadow Skill, is the newest Sevaar to emerge, but that doesn't make her life any easier. Teaching her "little brother," Gau, how to be a warrior, fending off assassins from other kingdoms and thwarting enemy invasions is hard enough, but her biggest challenge will be paying off her drinking debts.

Essentially, Shadow Skill is initially a unique anime which can make you laugh, feel inspired, and get connected with the characters all at the same time.

I don't want to shoot the series down completely, because honestly most of it was very enjoyable. Just be forewarned that you'll probably being tearing the hair out of your skull following the fight with Darkness.

Rewatching this in 2023 is nothing but a nostalgia trip for me for the most part. I wanted to know why it was never heralded as one of the best anime series to have come out of the 90's. I had to find out the hard way.

This was so tough to sit through. From the slow start with so many unnecesarry comedic moments up to the underwhelming and dissatisfying second half.
