5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful fantasy adventure for all ages! You'll love it!, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magic Knight Rayearth: Daybreak [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you like anime, fantasy or video-game RPGs, this series is for you! The music is wonderful, the animation is gorgeous and the characters are lots of fun! The plot has lots of surprising twists and turns to keep you hooked. This series also has some wonderful role-models for little girls (although some parts might be scary for the really young ones). I've seen the whole series in Japanese and Spanish and it's one of my favorites - I'm thrilled it will finally be available in English. So hey, when's season 2 coming to video!? :)

This series is just awesome, and the voices are good to boot! When I first bought it I thought it was going to be like Sailor Moon (Which I highly dislike), but the Clamp fan I am, I purcashed it. This tape is well worth your money with a whopping 4 episodes, complete with English versions of the songs. OH, and all of you people who say its stupid because of the Chibi characters are FOOLS! Thats the way it is in the original manga, which Im sure none of them have seen, and it has ben translated to the anime to add an even higher comedy level. So I guess you can go back to watching dub DBZ! (yuck)
