I delved way back into the past last week and watched Magic Knight Rayearth and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure it's a bit dated and silly in places, but it's engaging and good looking and the story turns out to be quite a bit more than it initially seems.

And the OP is epic.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would say the third OP ("Hikari to Kage wo Dakishimeta Mama") was superior to the first one. (The second OP, on the other hand, was so terrible that it was excluded from the dubs for the first English release.)

The plot twist at the end of the first season is classic CLAMP, though, from before they got so obsessed with linking every manga they ever wrote together.

I haven't gotten to the third OP yet. I just started watching the second season the other day, and haven't been able to give it my full attention yet, so have only seen four episodes. And yes - the OP is awful.
