Anime 37576 Majutsushi Orphen Hagure Tabi

In a world of magic and monsters, Krylancelo Finrandi and his foster sister Azalie Cait-Sith were once promising students of sorcery, prodigies at the famous Tower of Fangs. But an experiment gone horribly wrong warps Azalie's appearance, trapping her in the form of a dragon.

Elders at the Tower—more interested in preserving their reputation rather than their students' lives—drive off the transformed Azalie and cover up the incident. Outraged, Krylancelo strikes out on his own, taking the new name of "Orphen" and vowing to return Azalie to her normal state.

Five years later, Orphen's quest has stalled. A chance encounter brings him face to face with Azalie again, but he still has no way to restore her body. And with a hostile group of sorcerers hunting her down, he may be running out of time. The past and present collide as Orphen tries to find how to save Azalie from their former teachers and friends.

You might like this show if you're a similar anime fan as I am;
Watching Bleach, Naruto, DBZ, Gundam Seed etc. whatever was on the weekend channels wherever you grew up (as for me, YTV in Canada).

This is a good show. Good action sequences (not just brief flashes of MC in different positions to signify movement, but well-choreographed fight scenes). Good character development, and good side characters.

Orphen is the story of one of the strongest wizard apprentices in history abandoning his wizarding school when they basically label his best-friend-turned-monster as a target to be killed. So, he follows his values and leaves the organization. Basically, this ...

Mixed Feelings

Animation: As a long time fan of this series, I had high expectations but I feared Deen would reprise their freakshow of Nanatsu. I was dead wrong, but they didn't improve that much either. Deen is actually good with fighting scenes and effects, although they're too quick to get a taste. The first episode has an ok fight while the brawl with Salua was very good looking indeed. The only good looking frames are the close-ups. Background characters always look weird and badly drawn. Scenarios are mostly static and lifeless. So basically, animation-wise, this fist season is a 5/10

Story: A good story on its own ...

This anime is honestly one of the most boring things I've ever watched. It has barely any redeeming qualities, has too much useless, uninteresting dialogue and only has a small and I mean really small amount of good moments.

Story - 3

Yeah the story definitely isn’t the greatest thing ever told. The story is basically just about transforming this dragon Azalie back into their original form with a lot of magic and sorcery stuff. But this seems to be the only focus of the show, Rushing all the side stories from the 90s original anime. Then proceeding to drag the main story on for the whole ... show where it becomes uninteresting and bland after being shown the same stuff over and over.

Now maybe if there was some unique stuff happening every episode. Maybe if the episodes were something like a plot twist episode followed by a villain’s backstory episode or something it would be entertaining enough. However all that happens in this show is shooting a beam of light at an enemy and now the enemy is defeated. Rinse and repeat it’s the same thing almost every episode.

Art - 5

The art and animation isn’t really that bad actually. Thing is this new artstyle does not fit the show that much. Now all the characters have this odd modern design that still looks dated. And like I said about the fights earlier in the review they definitely don’t have the most impressive animation either. The show just looks pretty bland now with not much personality. It isn't bad but it really does not fit how epic looking the show used to be.

Sound - 5

Again the sound isn’t that bad, it just doesn’t fit the show that much. The opening sounded alright and fit the show a little bit. The ending didn’t really fit the show though. There’s also a lot more wrong with the sound. Some of the voice acting sounds off with some of the characters. Same with the background music which also happens to play at the wrong time like some techno rave music in the middle of some serious moment or something.

Character - 2

The characters in the show got barely any development or basically anything during the entire show. You really did not care for any of them unlike the original. In this show the characters are just here and don’t really do much. I feel like in this show they only focus on the main character Orphen too much and push all the side characters to the side. And even then you still don’t care about the protagonist because when there’s not much interaction with other characters, no characters really feel interesting.

You didn’t really hate the characters with a burning passion. Instead you just sat there and watched the characters do this and that with no character development or interactions at all.
It was just boring when there’s only one character the show focuses on instead of a whole cast of characters to love.

Enjoyment - 2

I don’t really see how anybody would like this anime that much. Or not get bored of it after like 3 episodes. It’s a bland and boring remake of a decent fantasy anime. There isn’t much reason to watch this unless you have absolutely nothing to watch. It isn’t a good remake or a standalone anime. It also isn’t a good fantasy anime and there is an abundance of actually good fantasy anime to watch instead of this.

Overall this show is really uninteresting. There is nothing to keep you hooked with barely any variety and really bland characters. I don’t hate this show with a burning passion. However it is a terrible remake and a really boring fantasy anime with so much other anime to watch. It doesn’t provide any entertainment and you’re better off watching paint dry or counting every single pixel on your TV because this is not worth watching.
