Magic Knight Rayearth: Review #2

Yay, exams are finally over and I can go back to posting normally! I hope you enjoyed DJ Rhythm's blurbs and thoughts on yuri. She usually knows more stuff about that than I do. Probably because she's so much older and worldly than I am. At least, that's what I keep being told.

Anywho, I just finally finished watching Magic Knight Rayearth and I must say, it was extremely odd. Don't get me wrong, it was enjoyable, it was just... odd. I think it was the use of mecha as Rune-Gods that threw me off. And boy were there alot of mecha! I keep trying to remind myself that I was watching a mahou shoujo and not Gundam 00. Yet, the mechanical fights were certainly something! I enjoyed them immensely.
As for the characters, I seemed to have grown very fond of only a few of them and the others I didn't very much care for. For example, I loved the diversity of those that came to invade Cephiro. Yet, the constant heroic antics of the boys for the Magic Knights became somewhat bothersome and boring. I know, I know, it's what they do, but I couldn't help being bored with it. Eagle was so awesome and kicked so much butt! Alcyone and Princess Emeraude I could've done without. I'm not a big fan of being so haplessly in love that you don't care about the world around you, especially the way they used the whole frail damsel-in-distress motif.
Oh, and before I forget, is it just me or does Lantis and Prince Endymion (Sailor Moon) look alot alike to you:

Lantis
Prince Endymion

*scratches head* It was bugging me the whole time and I wondered if anyone else noticed the similarities. Either way, we all know who the cooler one is, of course! *draws hearts around Lantis*

Anywho, I gotta go, but if you have any comments, please make your voice heard! you know I'd love to hear anything you have to say! :3
