| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, I actually really liked this OVA. Strong independent women. Male characters which aren't oafs. Realistic tragic back-stories. Realistic character interactions. An antagonist with a decent cause. I feel like I've found the fucking unicorn of the anime world! |

I feel like I've found the fucking unicorn of the anime world! I saw this nearly thirty years ago. Got it from a tape trader in Hawaii. I've always had fond memories of this OAV. The soundtrack is an old favorite of mine, especially "Ai Saratakute" from the scene of Raideen's funeral pyre. Been looking for the CD for a long time. Very obscure. Even my Japanese friend doesn't know this anime. |
| This was pretty exciting to watch. I somewhat got a He-Man/She-Ra vibe when watching it. |

| Never judge anime by its cover, and in this case by a score. Seeing it had a score of 5.86 I expected something enjoyable, but nothing one would call good. What I found was a classic fantasy adventure with good animation (high quality of the 80s), memorable characters and damn good story. If it was a bit longer (maybe full 2 hours), with more time spent on characters forming bonds, it could even be a great anime. |

| Love me some isekai adventure and this was a pleasant surprise for something I didn't have any expectations for. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

| very good fantasy movie, it kinda had it all, bare tits, violence, a cool fantasy world, some fun characters, friendship, action, honorable fights, a decent villain. Very entertaining 7/10 |

| This was metal af. Loved this! They're sword fighting on the back of a flying dragon, how sick is that?? Dimida and Neko's battle princess costumes were cool as hell, you had Neko with the Carrie psychic attacks, and the final boss was something else. They reach him and you expect it's going to be this dramatic battle and he's like "nah, you helped me, thanks for that, there's no reason we need to hurt each other, here's the way home btw and have a nice life." What a cool villain. No, he's not even a villain, he's just the antagonist but seems like a pretty nice guy in the end. His methods were a little bloody but you can't fault his plan really, and at the end he helped Neko by saving her life a few times and didn't ever want to hurt her. Never seen a final boss like that before in any piece of media now that I think about it. And his costume with the black cape and giant horns was wicked. That black knight falconer was really cool too. He injures Dimida and she wants to fight on so he handicaps himself so it's a fair fight. All the "bad guys" were really cool dudes. Can't say enough good things about this one really. I went in having zero idea about what to expect or what the genre even was but it was really entertaining. Neko's voice was a little "shirouto" but looking up her VA on here this was her only role, ever apparently. I can let it slide. The guy's special power was turning into a lion was... oddly specific and strange, but it worked for the story. This felt like a cross between Genmu Senki Leda with the art designs and the light hearted comedic elements and Legend of Lemnear with the medieval battle aesthetic and dragons, though Lemnear came out three years later. I would love to see this get a BluRay remaster like Project A-ko got. |
