Based on the popular series of Japanese fantasy novels that spawned the hit video game! When the most prestigious university of magic in the land loses Orphen, their most talented student, they'll do anything to get him back. Unfortunately for them, Orphen has bigger plans than majoring in spell casting - namely tracking down a mysterious dragon, the Bloody August. Together with his young apprentice, a spoiled heiress, and two cranky trolls, Orphen must battle both the Bloody August and his old teachers, advanced sorcerers who posses frightening power and even more dangerous secrets!

This first disc really grabbed my interest. We have Orphen, a mage who left the Tower of Fangs, his ex-master Childman, and a dragon named Bloody August, all part of the central plot. There are some typical sidekicks, but with atypical interaction and reactions.
All set for a 6 disc adventure...well, remove all the filler episodes and you get a 3 disc adventure. I rated the other 5 disc all with 2 stars---probably because I was a bit angry that I wasted that many rentals to finish this series. There are a couple of good episodes per a disc and the central plot kept pulling me along, but the rest was cliched and uninteresting.
You'll probably get hooked with this disc and then tortuously dragged to the last disc...any little fishy's biting?
Check out Gokudo or Rune Soldier instead and if you haven't yet, Slayers! |
