Magic Knight Rayearth Options

[yuzuki chan17]

I'm just curious about something. Everyone who has posted here obviously likes the anime or manga of Magic Knight Rayearth. (I mean, what would be the point of posting here, right?) I want to know what drew you into the series? Did the animation, characters, or plot intrigue you?



For me, it was the character design. I watched a one-minute preview of the series on a Rurouni Kenshin VHS tape. The character design captivated me. I wanted to see it so badly after watching one single preview. I couldn't find it in the store for the longest time, so the preview was all I had. I watched it like 10 times in one day, wondering what it was about XD

Like the flames I lost you to, sadness overwhelms me, too

The rain sends shivers down my spine and seeps into my memory

Who was it that loves you so? Who was it that hates you so?

I gasp in pain- the memories begin to swirl inside my mind

Actually, Magic Knight Rayearth was the very first series that got me on manga in the first place (and very soon Kisa-chan, too ^^). See, I had been given a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble (it was actually just around this time last year), and so I was there looking for something I could get. I was just getting into the manga-style of art, so I was looking around the store, and the cover of the MKR book (2nd one) caught my eye. It looked cool, and it had the same manga-style I was trying to learn, so I picked it up and started flipping through it.

I ended up reading practically the whole book. I didn't buy it though, because I found a Shoujo art book instead (and I am soooooo glad I got that--I still use it and it's extremely helpful in my art. ^^). Instead, I just remembered the title of the book and put the entire series on hold at the Library (good ol' Libraries. ). I read the series 6 times. I liked the series so much, that I figured there must be some kind of fan site for it or something. So I found this site. I wanted to read other manga books like Rayearth, so I started to look for other cool series done by CLAMP, and then just other manga in general.

By now (practically a year later) I think I've read over 200 manga books (although I think it's closer to 300 now). Anyhoo, sorry for making y'all sit through my manga life story. Thank you CLAMP and Rayearth! Yay!
