just watch it!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is the first anime I ever saw, and boy, it made me into an anime addict! Although old, this one is golden, and I watched it after randomly picking up the omnibus manga of MKR and falling in love with it. Although this very different from the manga, with extra episodes and a much more persistent Alcyone, this still is amazing. It's the finest CLAMP production, and it also introduced me to my fave anime (Ranma 1/2). This is my third favorite anime. Also, it's fine for about... I'd say 8 and up, although there is some blood (You know the show's old when it allows blood to be shown ;D ) it's mostly harmless (The ending is heartbreaking). So, I recommend watching it, for sure! You won't regret it.

''Magic Knight Rayearth" started to be in television here in Brazil when I was just 8 years old. At that time, I was much more a Yuyu Hakusho,Sailormoon and Dragonball's fan then anything else, do I didn't pay much attention to this fabulous anime called ''Magic Knight Rayearth''. So many different characters, so many different magical powers and with a great variety of beliefs, it's not a coincidence that the awesome CLAMP was the responsible by this series. Sadly I never watched the three-part OVA,even knowing that is not related to Rayearth's manga and anime series.Hikaru, Umi and Fuu are three very different students from separate schools, that are going to be united in their fate when they discover to be in other world and when they meet a sorcerer, Master Mage Clef, who gives them magic powers and explains to them the peril that this world of Cephiro is in. After this, they will start to meet many other characters and have adventures to save Cephiro, with the help of a little creature named Mokona that will guide them on their journey.

Season 1: What I like about this series,it was created by Clamp,(the animators of Tokyo Babylon, Cardcaptors,Chobits, RG Veda,etc), the story is about three junior high school girls,Hikaru,Umi,and Fuu who were summoned by Princess Emeraude to become Magic Knights and save an alternate world called Cephiro. What I also think about the series, the opening and ending theme songs were pretty cool. (Note): Both theme songs were performed by Sandy Fox. Another thing about this series, it was also a video game. In the show there are 2 things that the girls had to do in order to become Magic Knights. First, acquire the legendary ore called Escudo.(Note): the only person who can use the Escudo to make the weapons is master smith Presea. I know it was really sad that she died because, she give her life to create the weapons. Second, the Magic Knights had to revive the legendary Rune Gods to battle Zagato. I also think that the swordsman Ferio has a crush on Fuu after he give Fuu the Magic Orb. Another thing I like about the show is that the minions who served High Priest Zagato became their allies.(Note): they are Caldina, the illusionist, Ascot, the summoner, and Lafarga, the Swordmaster. I can't believe that Ferio is the Brother of Princess Emeraude, Ferio's memories returned to him after the Magic Knights defeated Innouva. But the end was very sad,Princess Emeraude's last wish to be with Zagato and the Magic Knights killed her.Season 2: What I think about this season, it picks up after the first. I know that the Maigc Knight went back to Cephiro by their own will and it was in darkness and Terror. I know that Cephiro has no pillar because Princess Emeraude died. I know it was very sad. But it got even worse. Other countries are planning to invade Cephiro. Autozam, Farhen, and Chizeta.And of course, there are new characters in this season. Lantis,the brother of High Priest Zagato and Primera, the fairy. The evil side Nova, who was created by Hikaru, and Debonair. When the Magic Knight were each captured by the invaders,the girls talk to them and ask them to call off their attack on Cephiro. But it even got more, even in the final battle for Cephiro, the invaders help the Magic Knights save Cephiro and Hikaru wished for Cephiro to be free of the Pillar.So in closing to this 2 season series, add it to your collection, you will see what I mean.

Magic Knight Rayearth is about 3 girls sent to another world, where they must gain magic in order to save everyone from evil. This is one of CLAMP's (CLAMP is a group of Japanese comic artists) best projects. Okay, it is kind of a Sailor Moon rip-off in some small areas, but most of the series is pretty original. The ending is very shocking and this anime deserves a look.
