DVD Reviews of Rayearth
DVD Review: Odd, but great ova!
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I liked the Rayearth ova very much, it just had a lot of stuff in it that left me wondering 'what?' & 'why?'
For instance there were many parts that were completely different from the Magic Knight Rayearth series. In the series, Hikaru, Umi & Fuu went to different schools & met at Tokyo Tower when they were summoned to Cephiro. In this ova special, the girls all of a sudden go to the same school & it shows that they first met each other in school on a rainy day sharing 1 umbrella. And I was surprised that Hikaru did not recognize Makona upon seeing him the first time. And I was certainly not expecting Ferio to join the bad guys' side. And Ascot is apparently back to his child size. And Alcyone is back even though (spoiler) she died at the end of Magic Knight Rayearth 2. And how on Earth is Eagle Princess Emeraude's brother, when it's Ferio who's the brother!? It's just so odd. Also there were a couple name errors. Fuu pronounces her last name wrong, & Umi pronounces he rlast name Ryuzaku, when it's Ryuzaki in the series!
There were also many things I loved about the ova. Despite the odd parts, there's plenty of action, drama & other qualities to make up for it. Also it shows an old thought of "What would it be like if you were the only one left on Earth?" Well that's exactly what happened when Hikaru, Umi & Fuu made the wish to stay friends forever under the magic cherry tree. The wish was disastrous, but the girls' friendship had proven to be the strongest kind ever. Above all, just having this in my anime dvd collection was awesome. Buy it if you want to just add it to your collection. It is a great special overall.
DVD Review: Don't listen to the other reviwers!!!! LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't seen nothing about Rayearth except for this three long complete episodes. I bought it knowing nothing about the anime and I LIKE IT!!!
Good:
* EXCELLENT quality of animation!!!
* AWESOME ACTION-PACKED!!!!!
* "Deep" storyline (no comedy).
* One of the COOLEST character desings I ever seen (the girls and armors were the BEST).
* Realistic graphics.
* COOL concept for action-fantasy: Three kind girls chosen to save the world by turning themselves into GIANT ARMORS of dragon, bird and lion, and they can UNITE the three giant armors so they can use the ULTIMATE POWER for salvation!!!!
Bad:
* HORRIBLE quality of sound!!!!
* A little slow and boring at the beginnig.
ADIOS!!
DVD Review: Dark Rayearth
Summary: 5 Stars
I know many people hated this version of the series, but the bad rep is undeserved. It is a very dark version of the fabulous series of Magic Knight Rayearth. This is best seen if you have already watched at least the first season. The artwork is fantastic, the story line is unique, Clef is best in this version of the show. If you do not like variations of a good thing, or if the dark, depressing colors are not your style, or if you hated X the Movie (by Clamp), skip this OVA. If you'd like to see a new take on a Clamp favorite, then this is a must see!DVD Review: Where is this coming from? And where is it going?
Summary: 1 Stars
I am so glad I only spent 7 bux on this crap! but I should have kept my best buy gift card for something else. Though it looks cool, the stroy line is lacking and the only thing similar to the manga (what it was based on) were the charecter names. Their personalities suck as well!DVD Review: Is it over yet?
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought it, watched it and hated it. Why? There's really no reason why you would like to continue watch it. I haven't seen the series (yet) an I think it will take some time before I do. The story is... well what is the story really? I don't recomend this DVD at all as you never get a grip about what's happening. For example. Someone appears, and if you haven't seen the series, you won't know who it is. Try to find something else, the series looks intressting. When it comes to graphics and sound, it's good. That's not a reason enough to buy it. Please don't make the same misstake as I did.
Description of Rayearth
Rayearth, Vol. 1 opens with a hero barely escaping an evil deity in some postapocalyptic world, followed by a scene where a woman with long blonde hair emerges from a pool of water to kiss the ring of some ruler. Then a ghostly figure appears to tell her she'll soon arrive on Rayearth. No explanation is given, not even character names, before the story abruptly shifts to Tokyo in the springtime. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and three young girls--Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu--are graduating from junior high and about to go to different high schools. They make a promise to remain friends forever in front of what turns out to be an enchanted cherry tree. After making the promise, Hikaru spots the fairy of the tree, which is invisible to everyone else. As she follows it, she is confronted by a male voice which asks, "Little girl, why do you see something that others do not? Why do you chase after it? Are you running away from a pain that breaks your heart?" It's an odd moment, but one that captures the sadness and neediness that is the flip side to everything good about long-term friendships. Thanks to the purity of their wish, the three girls are chosen to defend the Earth in a battle against extradimensional forces that are threatening to consume the planet. In volume 1 (of three), Hikaru must combine with the fire deity Lexus to battle the ice witch Alcyonde. Based on an original story by Clamp. --Andy SpletzerGeneral DVDs
