El Hazard 2: The Magnificent World

If you read my review for "Awakening of Kalia", you will find out what the technical qualities are for virtually the entire series. The appearance of the colors are still bland, the soundtrack is not to par with the first series, but some of the artwork for the finale/climax are stunning. This does make me wonder who needs CGI when ink can create even greater detail.

Besides the eye candy, the second El Hazard 2 volume improves on the dramatic aspects from the preceding episodes. Since we all know that it is all going to end up in a huge climax, the video focuses on almost nothing but the drama which of course intensifies our yearning for the "promised" powerful ending. Kalia is nothing but a dramatic character, so this quickly and effectively wraps up any of her remaining character development. The drawback to doing this with only four episodes is the sacrifice of the comedic elements, the reason for new anime fans to experience El Hazard, so since none-stablished fans of this show should skip this title.

Perhaps El hazard 2 could be edited into a great film, a method that could make this title universal to all anime enthusiast. Until that happens, all I can say is that no El Hazard fan should be let down by this bonus story to this universe of anime.
