I'll be completely honest and say I bought this DVD because Cou on the cover looked a little like Edward Elric. Moving on...I wasn't quite as disappointed as I expected to be. After I checked out the artwork inside the case and the back more closely my heart sank because I knew I was in for some very generic fantasy story. Yes, the story and characters are very very typical of what you would expect in a RPG type anime. Surprisingly I sort of enjoyed the first volume. I haven't watched such a simple and innocent fantasy anime in a long time. I find the cliche characters endearing in a way...even though they had me laughing at the cheesiness of the show. All the characters are 'cute' looking especially Cisqua who I instantly fell in love with. I have a thing for girls with guns. Especially big guns. There's really nothing to rave about this volume but it was colorful enough to distract me for a while. Sometimes simple and uncomplicated can be good for the tired soul.

Nobody respects the young boy named Cou, who while being a pseudo-mascot of the Red Lynx Sky Pirates, is pretty much pushed to the side when any real action occurs. After a pirate raid, Cou is customarily feeling sorry for himself when he happens upon a large box that the pirates have just stolen. Inside it is Ren, a beautiful young girl who revives from a coma-like trance. Ren is an "Edel Raid", mysterious beings that can "react" to humans and become powerful living weapons. In Ren's case, she can turn into a sword. Because Ren is one of the most powerful Edel Raids, a lot of people are hunting for her to gain her power! But not everyone looking for her is hungry for power. Cisqua, Rowen, and Kuea are from the "Perfect Association to Protect Edel Raids", or "Arc Aire" for short. Their goal is to take Ren with them to a place where Edel Raids can live in peace without fear of exploitation. That might sound good if Ren didn't have her own destination in mind. She wants to go to Edel Garden, the place where she was born. If Cou can get her there without any harm coming to Ren, he will finally become a full-fledged member of the Sky Pirates. His feelings of affection for Ren also come into the equation as the two, accompanied by the three Arc Aire members set out on a dangerous journey.

I thought at first that this series was going to be too low-brow Shonen Jumpesque for me but episode by episode I found myself enjoying it more and more. We've all seen the meek girl disguised as living weapon and headstrong kid trying to prove himself a man storylines before, but the characterization was really good so it overcame the cliches in Gelade. Cou and Ren's relationship is pretty complicated because Ren wants Cou to be better than the humans she has known before.

The world of Guardia is where airships are the main mode of transportation, chunks of land float in the air, and living weapons named Edel Raids fight alongside humans.

It's a fairly interesting idea, and it serves as a solid base for the first volume of "Elemental Gelade." The first five episodes of this series introduce us to a sweet boy-meets-Edel-Raid-girl story, filled with airships, pirates and dastards who want to steal the heroine for themselves. It's not terribly unique -- you can point out quite a few cliches -- but it is entertaining and sweet.

After the Red Lynx pirates raid a massive airship, Coud Van Giruet stumbles across a mysterious box, with a blue-haired girl named Ren inside. Turns out she's an Edel Raid, a living weapon -- although Coud cares more about her as a kindred spirit than an expensive weapon.

But a lot of other people want her too -- first the pirate ship is invaded by a trio of agents from Arc Aile, and then by a horde of very hostile ninjas who bomb, fight and shoot their way in. As Coud battles them he "reacts" with Ren, turning her into a lethal weapon attached to his body. As the Red Lynx pirates deviate away from the young boy and the Edel Raid, Coud promises to take Ren to her destination: the Edel Garden.

Of course, the three nuts from Arc Aile's "Edel Raid Complete Protection Agency" comes along too, determined to take Ren back to Arc Aile. More problems arise when Ren is kidnapped by a malignant dictator, and Coud and his little band must rescue her. And to make matters worse, an old friend of Coud's has been attacked by the Sting Raids.
