I delved way back into the past last week and watched Magic Knight Rayearth and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure it’s a bit dated and silly in places, but it’s engaging and good looking and the story turns out to be quite a bit more than it initially seems.
Big fan of Magic Knight Rayearth. It was one of the first shows that my (now) wife and I watched together when we started dating. It was a lot harder to watch anime back then, but she actually owned a copy so that we could watch it together.

Why I’ll always have a soft spot for Gundam Wing and Tenchi Muyo and Vampire Hunter D snd Ninja Scroll and Trigun and Cowboy Bebop and…
Ill have to give it another shot. I only got through an episode maybe two. Did not grab me.
Have you had a chance to look at the Magic Knight Rayearth manga? The art is incredible.
Thanks for the heads up - I’ll check that out.
I watch older anime almost exclusively, but with manga, I’m following so many new series and adding new ones all the time that I generally don’t have the time and energy to read older ones. But I keep adding them to my TBR anyway…
I would say the third OP (“Hikari to Kage wo Dakishimeta Mama”) was superior to the first one. (The second OP, on the other hand, was so terrible that it was excluded from the dubs for the first English release.)
The plot twist at the end of the first season is classic CLAMP, though, from before they got so obsessed with linking every manga they ever wrote together.
I haven’t gotten to the third OP yet. I just started watching the second season the other day, and haven’t been able to give it my full attention yet, so have only seen four episodes. And yes - the OP is awful.

I watched all of DanDaDan season one and enjoyed it. I like the characters, the world so far, and the animation is fun. I have heard the mangas storylines drop off a bit, but for the time being the first season of the show is solid.

I have no idea where you might have heard that. If it’s any comfort, I disagree. In fact, my favorite arc still hasn’t been animated yet.

This! It gets so, so good.

so fair to say that you haven’t enjoyed any of it as much as you yet hope to enjoy it?
