‘Magic Knight Rayearth’ has a brand new anime on the way in which.
The traditional CLAMP manga Magic Knight Rayearth will likely be getting a brand new anime adaptation.
The unique manga ran from 1993 to 1996 and handled three schoolgirls being transported to the world of Cephiro and turning into Magic Knights to be able to save Cephiro from collapse.
Every of the Magic Knights, that of Hikaru Shidou, Fuu Hououji and Umi Ryuuzaki, represented the weather of Hearth, Wind and Water. With every in a position to summon a Rune God (or Mashin) mecha. Fuu and Umi obtained the Windam and Selece, and Hikaru obtained the titular Rayearth.
Following the success of the manga, an anime sequence was made and was equally well-liked. CLAMP’s beautiful artwork fashion combined with correct 90s 2D animation resulted in a genuinely nice anime and one that also has a critical following.
Extra not too long ago, Magic Knight Rayearth was included in each Super Robot Wars T and Super Robot Wars 30 and was equally very effectively acquired. This additionally resulted in a really good Riobot toy of the Rayearth from Sentinel again in 2021 and a bunch of first rate Moderoid mannequin kits from Good Smile Firm.
Little doubt all of these bought effectively, as TMS and CLAMP have introduced a brand new anime adaptation (proven beneath) to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the unique 90s anime sequence.
Not a lot is understood in the intervening time, however my solely actual concern is how the animation will maintain up on this new sequence. The unique 90s Rayearth anime sequence and subsequent OVA had some critical manufacturing worth behind them, which was solely mandatory contemplating how effectively wrought the host manga was.
Both means, Rayearth followers have quite a bit to hopefully sit up for and it’s good to assume we’ll be getting an honest isekai anime for a change.
If you wish to try the unique Magic Knight Rayearth anime from the 90s, it’s out there on each Blu-ray and streaming through Crunchyroll.
