Summary: Pretty but Childish
Review: Visually this series is "eye candy." The designs and animation are beautiful.Dubbing is OK. While the overall plot has some merit, the dialog made me just cringe. It's no better in the Japanese; it was really written this badly. Mostly characters just state the obvious. Then, state it again. And then one of the other characters says it again, just in case you didn't get it the first time. You also get to watch characters agonize of delmas like "Should I run away and let my friends die or help them." It gets little deeper that this. A minor point, the DVD setup is lame.

Summary: The above is kind of wrong
Review: What starts as a "Old plot, nothing new here" type show about 3 girls saving a magical land really goes somewher near the end. And the ending is a HUGE shocker. It definitely transcends itself. Kind of like how the first few episodes of EVA are just your typical mech show but it becomes so much more.

Summary: Wonderful story aimed at girls with a curve at the end
Review: Wonderful story aimed at girls with a curve at the end that can make you think about what it is to give your all to something larger than yourself. This is a story for dreamers not those old at heart. dvd has glitches on the extras but not during the shows themselves.

Summary: My expectations were low... yet they were not even met.
Review: Wow... I am really suprised that this set is getting so many positive reviews. I thought that this was an EXTREMLY SLOW series. First off, the animation is poor, yes, it is a little older, but it still does not compare to that of the Lodoss or Slayers series. The plot is not too unique, which isn't a big problem if the characters are well developed (because lets face it, all fantasy is pretty similar, its the character development that makes it a great Genre), unfortunatly, the characters are pretty poor. They go through few changes and they seem to never really learn from their mistakes. And their internal struggles are weak and repetive. I could only get through four of the DVDs before I forced myself to auction this series off. If you want good anime of a similar Genre, then look to the Record of Lodoss War, Slayers, or even a more expensive Fushigi Yugi.

Summary: OK but
Review: Yeah, the first season of MKR. This is the first CLAMP series I watched, but not the first one I heard about (X1999). Of course it IS different from the Manga, which partially makes me angry, but it still is similar enough for me to love it enough. ^-^ This BoxSet layout kinda "bites." The box is cheap looking, but that really doesn't matter to me. The DVD setup is hard to figure out for my computer's DVD drive. The voice tracks won't change easily since they left subtitles on the Japanese opening--at least on the first disk; I just wanted to hear the Jap voices of Hikaru, Umi, Fuu, and Clef. Overall, the series is good and I don't care about the content as much as I do the story. ^-^ My MK Rayearth rankings:
1: MKR Magna (Direct from CLAMP's minds, of course.)
2: MKR TV Season 1 (Yeah...it's BASED on the Manga by CLAMP)
3: Rayearth OVA (Screwed up; twisted revamp of the story. Still cool.)
4: MKR TV Season 2 (Yet again BASED on the Magna; THEY CHANGED IT TOO MUCH FROM THE MANGA!)
