El Hazard: The Magnificent World (神秘の世界エルハザード) OVA Episode 1 Part 1

The series began as a seven episode OVA series entitled, El-Hazard: The Magnificent World. It was popular enough to be remade into a twenty-six episode TV series, The Wanderers, set in an alternate timeline. A second four episode OVA series, El-Hazard: The Magnificent World 2 and El-Hazard: The Alternative World, a thirteen episode TV series with a follow-up special later released on laserdisc, are continuations of the original OVA timeline. There is also a Sega Saturn visual novel videogame inspired from the TV series, with several possible endings.

The story focuses on four people from our world (High school students Makoto Mizuhara, Katsuhiko Jinnai and Nanami Jinnai, and History teacher Masamichi Fujisawa) who are mysteriously transported to the fantastical world of El-Hazard, which is threatened with a massive war between the human nations on one side and the insectoid Bugrom tribe on the other. To add further complexity, the quartet's transportation has a side effect, in that each of them gains a unique special ability.

For instance, Katsuhiko gains the power to communicate with the Bugrom, and subsequently uses his power to become the Bugrom's military leader while his sister can see through illusions. The hard-drinking, chain-smoking Fujisawa, on the other hand, gains superhuman strength and athletic ability, but only when he's sober. Makoto's power comes much later but he learns he can control the ancient technology of that world which range from minor gadgets to the most powerful weapons.

I love it! A wonderful song for Ifurita and Makoto. You got the timing just right too.

This is El Hazard: The Magnificent World. It is the best of the three El Hazard series, though they are all good. It is one of three anime (plus tenchi) that hold a special place in my heart.

Could you please give me the link to download the English version of Alchemy of Love? I've been looking everywhere and found nothing. By the way, this is an awesome song! Thanks a lot for sharing it!!

Great Video! I love it, I haven't seen this amile. I looked at it because it's a Tenchi song and I like Tency a bit. Is this Anime good? I'm a bit confused on which part to watch, I don't really like all the alt dimention do overs that it sounds like it has.
