El-Hazard: The Magnificent World: Difference between revisions

An [[OVA]], ''El-Hazard'' was remade/expanded into a TV series called ''[[El-Hazard: The Wanderers]]''. This series generally followed the same plot outline, but there were significant changes to some of the characters, including a severe tuning-down of the lesbianism (though the hints are there if you look). The [[OVA]] version itself had two sequels: ''El-Hazard: The Magnificent World 2'' (short and not bad, though not the equal of the original), and ''El-Hazard: The Alternative World'' (which was [[Cut Short]], running to only 13 of its planned 26 episodes).

There is also [[El-Hazard (manga)|a manga]], which is mostly the first [[OVA]] with some of the characterization from the first TV show.

* [[Alternate Continuity]]: The OVAs vs. the TV series.

* [[A Twinkle in the Sky]]: HappenHappens to Alielle and Fatora in the final episode of ''The Alternative World''.

* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Fatora doesn't seem nympho in the OVAsequel 1to the OVA.

* [[Hair Colors]]{{context}}

* [[Hands Off My Fluffy]]{{context}}

* [[Hot Amazon]]: anAn in-universe example, as Alielle is initially drawn to Shayla's red hair and goes googley eyed when she starts to kick BuggromBugrom ass. Also a literal example since she's the priestess of fire!

* [[Hot Consort]]: 15Fifteen-year old Alielle for Fatora. Her parents are actually okay with this, as it means a steady job and an education.

* [[I Thought Everyone Could Do That]]: Nanami and her immunity to Phantom Tribe illusions; she often doesn't realize that she isn't seeing what everyone else is. For example, we discover her powers during a scene when a female Phantom Tribe assassin approaches the group disguised as a scantily-clad blonde bombshell; since her true form is a blue-skinned [[Tenchi Muyo!|Kiyone Makibi]] expy, Nanami doesn't notice anything odd about the men's dropped jaws right away. Later on, in Roshtaria:

'''Londs:''' (chuckling) Lady Nanami, surely you jest? This is Galus, her Royal Highness' fiancefiancé.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Miz Mishtal, a priestess of water<ref>Miz = "mizu" = water</ref>.

** Don't forget that the Bugrom wanted to conquer El -Hazard. It was self-defense.

** And it wasn't really genocide. The Bugrom weren't destroyed, just sent ''en masse'' to another world (though one wonders what kind of problems they're going to cause for the new world they were sent to....)

* [[Nailed to the Wagon]]{{context}}

* [[New Super Power]]{{context}}

* [[Heroes Want Redheads|Nymphomaniac Lesbians Want Red HeadsRedheads]]: Alliele to Shayla-Shayla

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: (Ifurita. The priestesses could be if they really put their minds to it.)

* [[Rescue Romance]]: Parodied with Fujisawa and Miz. and playedPlayed straight with both Shayla Shayla and Makoto and later Makoto and Qawoor in the ''Alternative World''.

* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Male example -- the Amazing Vanishing Love Interest Guy, who gets [[Brother Chuck|Brother Chucked]]ed not long after his introduction.{{context}}<!-- MOD: In which series? Certainly not the original OVAs. -->

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Miz's successor is Qawool... or Qawoor... or Qawoorl...or Kaoru... <!-- or Fred. -->

* [[Super Strength]]: Fujisawa's power in El-Hazard {{spoiler|but only when he's sober. And in the [[OAV|OAVs]]s finally running out of cigarettes gives him an additional boost}}.
