I don't think that is a flaw. Not really. I certainly want more but in its short amount of episodes it told its story very well. Hell one could argue that there are long series that don't use their runtime nearly as well. It's a very strong example of economic story telling like a short story. I could very much watch further ova adventures but the one we got was very good.

I only watched it recently and it was before my time, but something felt so nostalgic about it. Can you even be nostalgic for something you never experienced before? Either way it was so much fun, I wish there was more like it.

General lack of content. It was typically well regarded back in the day but it's nowhere near as dense as stuff like Slayers or Lodoss.

I tried to tor this many years ago but there was no seeders. Might retry again because the furry knife ear is cute as hell looking.

>Can you even be nostalgic for something you never experienced before?

In a way, yes. There's even a word for it. Anemoia. While you lack the first hand experience you can feel a wistful pang for a time you missed out on. Especially in regards to older works that were more sincere.

Thank you fren. I just learned a new word. I definitely get that feeling sometimes with retro anime like this. I also get that same emotion with Lodoss War. I enjoy that sincere kind of classic fantasy.

That flashback near the end of the kingdom seemingly having a festival where they wore the remains of dead people as costumes (those certainly didn't look like masks) made me think that maybe the nation deserved to fall. You see that right after people suffering and starving in the past and it seems like the dang "costumes" are "harvested" from the marginalized, which is messed up.

Many haven't and the reason why is that Toonami and Funimation and Crunchyroll snubbed Slayers throughout the decades.

That's every fantasy anime. Except Rayearth, which is why it's the best fantasy anime. And 12 Kingdoms too, but that's boring.

I watched it right after watching Lodoss 1 and Slayers season 1, and of the three things I watched, it was the best.

Just binged for the first time a few weeks ago with my brother. It was an amazing series, and i’m heartbroken at how short it was. Loved Rasha’s design, huge fan of the characters in general. Even tried the dub to see if it was terrible, found it quite charming— especially the spell chants
>>
>>287454930
It actually was a rather solid dub. Rasha and Miguel especially.
>>
>>287454930
the spell chants and mouse limitation to not be OP were really really good, silent or name spell casts are so lame by comparison but good writing isnt easy so
>>
>>287440593
I kinda did, but cant remember anything about it or the plot, I just rewatched Magic Knight Rayehreath for the same reason and loved it
I might go get Slayers to watch later, jst need to finish other stuff first

Yes. Several times. The most up to date versions I'm aware of are the ADV Anime essentials and Maiden Japan release which as far as I can tell was just the better R2 release. What we really need is a blu ray

12 kingdoms is an entire 48 or however many there was, episodes of a waste of time
how did they manage to undo the entire story and reset it to a status quo, without resorting to some deus ex machina tier asspull is beyond me
still the most pointless story ive ever watched

They are literally fighting a dark wizard bent who's holding a princess hostage and it is physically poisoning the world. And then there's part 2 which is literally a war for power over the land. You're an idiot.
>>
>>287467537
>dark wizard bent who's holding a princess hostage and it is physically poisoning the world
That's the premise. Not what was actually happening. The twists completely recontextualize everything you assumed about the characters, the world and the conflict, which is why Rayearth is the peak fantasy. Watch the anime.
>there's part 2
Which is shit and nobody talks about it besides Nova and Hikaru getting DPed.
