The fifth volume of Orphen continues to draw me in, and I couldn't be happier.

This volume gives us another five episodes; to talk about them too much would be to give away the surprises in store, but rest assured, there are major plot twists in this volume. The story continues to thicken, and overall, the show now has a larger scope. We see a lot more of other characters, whereas earlier on, we mainly just saw Orphen and company.

Most interesting is the way these episodes turn things upside down, and I found myself completely confused as to who the "bad guy" is.

Despite a lot of seriousness, the show maintains its excellent sense of humour. Hartia was hilarious once again, and I am pleased to see him more often as his importance to the story increases. Majic's attempts at magic continue to be amusing, and I even found the trolls Volcan and Dortin funny after being annoyed with them in earlier episodes. The episode about the giant bugs was very amusing, and was a nice break from all the seriousness surrounding it.

If you haven't seen this series yet, go out and buy it. It has everything; great characters, fantastic comedy, excellent plot twists, and it manages to keep you guessing. After this, I was definitely looking forward to the final volume.

This DVD follows in the remarkable Orphen fashion. In the Exellent Voice acting. And lively plot line, which has kept many of us pre-ordering. Over, and over... However this 5th installment is well worth the wait, and provides the humor, and interresting plot twists you have come to expect from this series.
