[b]The Story -[/b]
The story itself is very common, nothing new about saving the universe, the world or other countries.. I've seen this anime before when I was a kid but I didn't have the chance to finish it actually until yesterday. The story is predictable except for the ending. CLAMP's works are known to have unpredictable and unbelievable endings. As you can notice from their other works like Chobits and Code Geass, they went crazy on their endings which makes the story so good and yet so bad (it depends on what kind of people are watching) but imo the ending of this series is not that good but I have to admit that it is very unbelievable. I was caught up watching the series because the pacing was fast but in every end of each episode you will be able to know what will happen to their next adventures.
[b]The Art -[/b]
The animation is bad but considering that the anime was produced in 1994 I would say there's really nothing I can do about it. One thing I like about the series is how CLAMP managed to create a very good and quite detailed robot designs for their rune-god characters. I think this where they got the idea for Code Geass' Knightmare designs.
[b]The Sound -[/b]
This is where the anime stands out. The opening and theme "Yuzurenai Negai" by Naomi Tamura brought life to the whole series. In my whole time watching anime, this is the second or probably the third time I got mesmerized by a good sound tracks like Clannad and Angel Beats. They made different variations of this song and inserted it in the series and guess what... it really added some good feelings and excitement while watching the series.
[b]The Character -[/b]
Three MCs got warped into a world known as "Cephiro" but surprisingly, they don't look like they are scared or anxious or they just lack emotions? The characters are like jobs in a very popular RPGs. Magus, Knights, High Priest, Summoner, Illusionist, Blacksmith and a princess. Each character develops very slowly but surely.
[b]The Enjoyment -[/b]
I can't say I really enjoy the series because of all the plot holes I found while watching it. Bad animation, the story is predictable and other noticeable holes made it hard to finish the series. I can sit for whole day and watch a 24 episode long series if it is very enjoyable but this time I wasn't.
[b]Overall - 5/10[/b]
Nevertheless, it's still a good thing that I finished watching a series that I started when I was a kid. The only thing I like about this anime are the OSTs. If you like fantasy anime then you might want to check this out..
