| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode closed the El Hazard world intrigue pretty well. It also offers nice scenes and a cute ending to Makoto and Ifrita but the other characters get one or two picture to show how they end and we have no idea how the heroes were able to make it back with the Eye of God out of service (not mentioning why the other world inhabitants would come to live on Earth, apart from Fujisawa's new wife). The young princess being an horrible spoiled brat was a (bad) surprise for me. I didn't appreciate how easily the reigning princess annihilated a quasi-entire species. I know they killed citizen and conquered lands but the Bagram never felt like villainous creatures. Their leaders aren't really better, not minding that they are the sole survivors. 4/5 6/10 Usual 90s fantasy.Some pretty arts (some multi-faces too sadly) and a decent story (even if it is a clear product of its time). The characters were all pleasant, Fujisawa and Jin'nai being the ones who catched me the fastest. Global enjoyment: 4.5/5 ====== @mozgow If you want to keep this good (and true) impression of El Hazard, avoid the second salve of OAVs and the subsequent TV sequel. As you noticed, everythings wrapped up so everything made past that appears to be useless. This doesn't apply necessarily to the TV remake (26eps) I didn't see. |

| Except for few plot convenience here and there, it was very good final episode. Everything wraps up to the beginning and the ending is really nice. 8/10 from me. |
 |
| Overall not bad, I had high expectations after the first episode which weren't met. Story and character were rather average, but it was still fun to watch. 5,5/10. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Jinnai and his bug crew are probably my favorite part of this OVA series. Must be a lot of nostalgia for this one, reading the comments and reviews. Not that it was bad, but I thought there was a bit of wasted potential with the way the characters interact with the setting... |
| Yay, I finally finished this OVA! Overall, I think the show was pretty good. As the main character, Makoto didn't interest me as much or the most. Jinnai is my favorite character out of the show, because of personality and such. The ending kind of wrapped it up, although personally, I was a bit confused. I guess in the end Makoto and Ifurita are together now. Kinda weird how Ifurita is like over 20,000 years old, but whatevs. I didn't expect Fatora to be such a brat. Animal abuse smh. To me, the bugrons didn't seem so evil. I kinda liked them. It seemed like they were just following orders, not really so evil. Personally, I didn't reaaallly like the ending, but overall I liked the show. Good watch! :) |

| Well, I thought it was an ok anime. Not bad, but not great. My favorite was definitely Jinnai. The other seasons seem bad, but I do want more Jinnai. Oh well! |

| reminds me of Yu-No 1996, but the VN did it better. |

| The sound mixing seemed horrible, at least for me. Has that classic 90s fantasy feel, nothing amazing, serviceable. The human antagonist is ridiculous, pretty funny tbh. The greatest evil laugh I've ever heard. Griffith in lipstick caught me off guard a little bit. A story and world that just isn't explored enough. Characters are fun though, redeeming it somewhat. 6/10. The reviews are amusing and definitely a case of childhood nostalgia. |
| Absolutely loved this. I was worried I had waited too long to see this as I've come to really loathe modern isekai but thankfully this classic is much more to my taste. I just loved the humour (which I wasn't expecting), all the characters were so fun. Then the art was incredible, some of the painted backgrounds were so lush and detailed. The ending was so sweet, I loved how the connection between Makoto and Ifurita was revealed. I might be dense but I just hadn't figured that reveal of Ifurita copying the dimension hopping ability until it happened. I love how they looped all that back around. Maybe its full of paradoxs idk, not going to overthink it. I have very few complaints, none worth mentioning. Just a great OVA that I took far too long to see. 9/10 |
| Recently watched the TV version and then rewatched this. What I said in the other thread in 2015 ( What did you think about this anime?) still applies and I think this could have used couple of more episodes because it just goes through the script too quickly. The phantom tribe barely have any presence and Jinnai is just piece of shit, but the whole bug genocide just comes out of nowhere and make's the heroes look like maniacs. Make's no sense to portray them more on the comical side and then procceed to annhilate them all. Maybe If I hadn't watched the TV-series, I would still hate this with same passion as I did, but if you count out the awful ending and rushing, it has it's good sides. Look's great and I like that the old civilization stuff is just there and it's not about "ancient people this and ancient people that". |
