Rune Soldier! (Series review/discussion)

It's Judgement Time!
This is one of those medieval animes like Slayers, Lodoss Wars, or Sorcerer Hunters. It's mostly comedy and there wasnt a single episode that didnt make me laugh out loud at least once.

I got it for X-mas, it was definitely worth a watch. I hadnt seen an RPG type anime in a while. I loved the dubbing because all the characters had NORMAL voices! It was kind of surprising hear a normal voice come out of an adorable wide eyed anime girl, but I loved it. The dialogue is great and humorous, and the plot isnt much. But this series really set out to make people laugh more than it wanted to enthrall them in a enriched plot so..

The characters are cliche but very likeable. The music is ok but nothing note worthy. The end sort of fizzles out. There is some kind of climatic final battle but it wasnt as powerful as Slayers or Sorcerer Hunters' endings. This series really flew by for me. I mean it feels like I only started watching it a few minutes ago but it's already over!

Sometimes it can feel like a chore to watch an anime from start to finish in one sitting but this one made it feel so easy and fun. By the time it ended, I thought it had only began. It felt as though I only watched 10 episodes and not 24.

I think if you have nothing else to buy this anime is worth a look. Especially if you like Slayers or Sorcerer Hunters. This is a good anime, good animation, and good characters. It's very lively and cute.

Now I'm in the mood to buy more Adventure/RPG type animes to satisfy my apetite for it.

Summary: I guess if you need to know what it's about... It's about three girls (A warrior, a thief, and a priest) who are adventurers. Well in their latest adventure they decide they need to add a mage to their group. So they go into town to look for one. Well they happen to find a bafoon for a mage named Louie. However, circumstances lead from one to another and the girls end up enlisting him (unwillingly) into their party. They go on many misadventures seeking treasure and riches.
