El Hazard: The Magnificent World · review
A nostalgic favorite--and a strong isekai work from before the genre got overstuffed with titles. Its strongest point is its gorgeous girls. Makoto, the male lead, is unusually brave and capable--much more so than the Ordinary High School Boy (TM) we so frequently see in anime. His friend Nanami is also a refreshingly strong character. Some of the battles, especially Shayla-Shayla versus Ifurita in Episode 4, are amazing to watch. This show has one of the most satisfying endings in all of anime. The English dub is quite good and is my preferred way to watch this. The humor is appreciated but provokes only smiles,not laughing out loud. The animation is beginning to look dated.
