I haven't seen Magic Knight Rayearth in so long & I was finally able to watch it again! this is the most beautiful anime ever & my absolute favorite! I feel like it's so underrated it really deserves so much love. ❤️💙💚
I loved everything about this anime. the characters were absolutely the heart of the show. they were so wonderful, a lot of them were so fun, & some of them had so much depth being more complex than others. the fantasy world was beautiful. the overall story was beautiful & fun, but also so depressing.
Lantis was always my favorite character. he was so beautiful & perfect. he carried so much sadness but was still always so kind. all he wanted was to spare someone else from the suffering & sacrifice of being the new pillar. he never wanted anyone else ending up like Emeraude & his brother. 🖤
the romance aspect of the anime is what really drew me in. love is portrayed as something so precious that can save the world but also brought so much heartache & sorrow. the tragic romance with Zagato & Princess Emeraude was so heartbreaking. when it was revealed they were in love & Zagato only wanted to save her from the burden of being the pillar I was almost in tears. it took death for them to finally be together in love. they really deserved better. 💔
I loved watching Lantis & Hikaru slowly fall in love with each other but having such a hard time admitting their feelings for each other, Hikaru especially being afraid of her feelings for him. Lantis was always so soft & gentle with her. their relationship was written so beautifully. I was so happy when they confessed their love but so frustrated with how it ended. I really wanted to see them together. I need a continuation of this anime with the girls back in Cephiro, & Hikaru & Lantis reunited!
also I loved Eagle so much! his death completely devastated me! he was such a good friend to Hikaru & Lantis despite being on the other side of war. he was a kind heart & a pure soul. I miss him. 💔
