Description:

This 13-episode broadcast adventure concludes as the sinister Arjah possesses Gilda. She forces Makoto to continue unsealing the Spring of Life, which he identifies as the controls for the super-weapon, the Eye of God. He also realizes his mysterious crystal is a lock for those controls. Arjah tempts Makoto, promising to return him to Roshtaria and even Earth. But Makoto seals the Spring with the aid of the three Priestesses, ending its threat to Cretaria. The filmmakers fail to tie up a number of loose ends in the story: Emperor Dall Narciss forgets his passion for Qawoor and reveals he was once betrothed to Gilda. The viewer never learns what becomes of Chibal, the honest farmer who rescued Princess Rune, or who or what Arjah is. But these omissions aren't likely to bother serious El Hazard fans. As the story really ends with episode 12, "Night of Captivation" offers little more than slapstick comedy: Fatora and Alielle try to seduce the other women; Shayla-Shayla, Nanami, and Qawoor fight over Makoto; Mr. Fujisawa searches for a drink. American viewers may not recognize the nosebleed Makoto suffers when he sees the female cast nude as a metaphor for arousal. Rated 13 and older for violence, mild profanity, nudity, and sexual situations. --Charles Solomon
