Rating: Summary: 3rd series ok, but get the original and second series first. Review: This is DVD disk 1 of 4.The series continues with more than a few of the cast from El Hazard getting transported to an alternate dimension version of the El Hazard we've become familiar with. It's nice to see the characters adapt to their new roles. For some of them, it's their first time, for the earthlings it's their second. Don't want to provide too many details that will spoil your experience other than a hint that the ancient weapons are resolved a bit differently in this series. Technically, this series lacks some of quality of the original series, but it's still worthwhile for die hard El Hazard fans. Continuity Notes: El Hazard the "Alternative World" is the 3rd El Hazard series. The original "Magnificent World" is the best, so start out with that one. The "Alternative World" series is continuation of "Magnificent World" and is not part of the "Wanderers" series. Cautions: This series is the most adult of any of the El Hazard series. Lots of sexual inuendo like a sitcom, but nothing really happens.
Rating: Summary: wonderful Review: This is just great. For those of you dissapointed by El Hazard 2 this is the continuation that you were wanting for. It has beautiful animation like the original. I highly recommend El Hazard 3.
Rating: Summary: Excellent continuation of an already magnificent series Review: This new series is the perfect continuation for the already magnificiently funny, action packed, and just plain amazing series. All of your favorite characters have come back, with loves and romantic interests springing up like wildflowers. The writers still continue with the sweeping saga, and the hilarious antics of Makoto and crew, but still put out an emotional rollercoaster ride. Truly an excellent piece of anime, with a killer soundtrack to boot. I wasn't a J-Pop fan until I heard the soundtrack from the first release
Rating: Summary: blehhh, there are much much better out there Review: well, I have seen this whole series up too & including the last three episodes that are not really released here yet. i must say i was very dissapointed. i have never seen el-hazard before, and with all the good things i'd heard about it i expected it to be better. it looked really really good during the first volume but then i got the second one and it was just awful awful. my one friend who had seen el-hazard before and who's a big fan didn't like it either.one reason she didn't was her fave chara is someone named ifrita who is not in the show at all except for the op credits. (i don't know who she is she wasnt in this.) the main guy ended up with the blue haired water girl instead. i thought the emperor and the other girl (the one who was a guard, guirlda) were cool but everyone else was really stupid and annoying. because of that i dont even want to see oav 1 though my friend says that is much much better and the characters are much cooler and not stupid in that one. anyway, i would buy something else. that's my 2 cents. <g>
