Things You'll Never Hear in Magic Knight Rayearth

Disclaimer:

            With my anime friends group, we have a thing to claim an anime and/or manga. This means out of the bunch only that person can know the series, own the merchandise, download for it, have its art, and own the manga/anime. Well, I claimed MKR after reading the first manga volume. Energetically I went out and bought the first two videos dubbed by Anime Works. That is something you should never do… Anime Works sucks (NO ONE SUE ME NOW, THAT"S AN OPINION). And if you do find yourself buying dubbed from Anime Works, be under the age of 13. Then it doesn't seem as bad.

            I don't know, maybe the anime of MKR just sucks. The characters repeat the obvious each second, sorta like SM on TV (tho I loved SM for three years, the manga is much better). FYI, the voice of Hikaru is the voice in Digimon of the second girl tamer who has Leomon. (What's her name again?) Umi has Yumi's voice in Rurouni Kenshin (another anime brutalized by Anime Works) and Yui in Fushigi Yuugi (that voice actress fits that character). The art is beautiful, thanks to CLAMP, but the plot drags on and on. Read the manga of MKR, it is beautiful and much better done. Or get it fansubbed (is it?). Just don't take several sittings of MKR dubbed in a month. You can watch it about every month and not want to kill the TV.

            Not to say I don't love MKR. I want to find the second season with Lantis *kisses* and Eagle *kisses* SUBBED! But only if I have the money. Right now I'm collecting the manga of Fushigi Yuugi and reading all of Inuyasha *kisses*. I think this disclaimer is gettin' a little long… Just a word from the tried and true… if you're under thirteen buy the dubbed of MKR, you'll love it. But don't watch it past ninth grade. Older than that, get is subbed. Anime Works did a lot better on the later RK episodes. RK is an awesome series… especially the OVAs. I cried! Okay my computer (Zipper's her name), yeah I finally have my own, is telling me to get on with it. Here goes (these are ideas I had in church. If you think their stupid read my best friends stuff: DTXX is her alias.):

Emeraude: Frick to saving this world, I'm getting a haircut!

Lafarga: I'm getting an eyebrow wax.

Clef: Can I fit another rock on my head?
