Description:
Big, buff magician-in-training Louie, the hero of the comedy-adventure series Maho Senshi Riui (Magical Soldier Riui, 2001), is as strong as an ox and almost as bright. Bored with his studies, he wants to join three female adventurers who need a magician to help them locate some treasure. Diminutive Merril is money-hungry; muscular Genie is a temperamental ex-soldier; blonde Melissa is a devotee of the god Mylee. They eventually agree to take Louie along, although they constantly berate him. Louie exemplifies a familiar anime type: the good-hearted doofus who eventually wins over the skeptics. He'd cut off his right arm for a friend, although he'd probably get flustered and cut off the friend's left arm by mistake. Winning over Merril, Genie, and Melissa will take some doing, as they insist that associating with him is "no fun at all." (Rated 15 and older: nudity, violence, risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
