I recommend seeing just the first film adaptation of this if you find a copy - and you may be surprised at how well it mixes shoujo romance with historical Japan in the 1920s. Well, El Hazard: The Magnificent World is solidly animated, colorful, and a funny adventure romance that also transports its main characters from their school to a world called El-Hazard.ĭespite being pretty short, this anime has an engaging story, noteworthy worldbuilding, a lovely cast, and the male MC Makoto is one of the best harem protagonists ever – particularly with his commendable display of courage and undeniable appeal. There’s something distinctly appealing about people who are sent to another world (including and especially video games). Since the global success of Sword Art Online, isekai shows have continued to bring in more fans each season - and for good reason. I understand if it’s the El Hazard: The Wanderers TV series that wasn’t widely liked. People who instantly recall childhood memories after seeing this title might wonder why El Hazard: The Magnificent World is seemingly so forgotten these days.
