Heheh. Boy, Estelle ALSO looks like Relena from Gundam Wing. Ah, such cross-pollination...

Looking at these screencaps, I think the "Ankoku Ryu..." manga may well have based its designs off this as well-- especially with Nyna and the weirdass depiction of Cheiney in the manner of the sorcerer above.

Yeah, I need to get my hands on this. Thanks for the picspam... I'd forgotten entirely what everyone looked like.

Oh man. THAT's why she kept pinging me. I knew she looked ridiculously familiar. XD

I wouldn't be surprised though, I suspect Japanese fantasy fans of a certain age would be really familiar with a few series like this one, and there's already so much crossover in the industry...

I see that the hero is voiced by Yamaguchi Kappei. Of course he is.

[shimizu_hitomi]

You should totally see if you can find a copy of it because it's soooo worth it. :D

This looks interesting. I'll need to track it down, so that I can watch it. ^_^ Thank you for posting the pictures and information.

You're welcome! It's definitely very worth it. :D
