I'm a bit of a sucker for RPG type animes, so when I saw this in a Viz Promo Mag I decided to D/L it.

It's not overly funny, but the drawing is very good and the plot (Boy exploring a world full of Magic) is a good premise. More after I see more.

(April 2005) I have only seen the first episode of this series, but it comes across as be a VERY simple and straight forward "boy gets his dream to go adventuring in a distance land, where he picks up special powers and items" type of story. I don't know, but I do think that there is a new RPG computer game in the works based on this series.

If you are in the twelve and under crowd, then you might really enjoy this magical-adventure-romance series.
(Sept 2006) Episde 43 has been aired and it appears as if this may be licensed for R1/USA release. And the computers games are probably not far off.
