Anime Watch: Night Wizard

A few days ago, I had started watching an older anime series titled Night Wizard. It's an anime about a young high school girl, Shiho Elis, searching for the seven jewels to complete her Ain Soph Aur, which is actually a bracelet on her right hand, in order to protect the human world from impending darkness. Special beings, known as Night wizards, possess supernatural magic in which they use to fight against emulators from the dark world.

She makes friends with Akabane Kureha, Hiiragi Renji and Himuro Akari at school. Together they fight the emulators that they come across while searching for the jewels. I enjoy watching this anime as it has many comical moments, thanks to Renji being the sacrificial lamb, many fighting scenes and especially magic. I love all things magic and wizards are no exceptions, even if it's only a fantasy.

Below are some pictures of the anime that I found using Google:

The game that the anime was based on.




The story plot is very engaging and doesn't drag for too long. The mission gets accomplished pretty easy though. However the accomplished mission brought forth a major disaster, for Elis is actually the reincarnation of the most powerful evil lord, Shaiymaral.

Shaiymaral is actually created by the observer of the Universe, Kirihito, who in actual fact is the Gazer, a being whose original duty was to watch over the world for all eternity. Being of the opinion that the world is in a dengerative state, he sought to destroy and rebuild the world. Renjio and the gang worked to fight back against Kirihito and eventually they did won.

This anime is so full of drama and entertainment that I never felt bored for a single moment. It's refreshing and very light-hearted. It does not take itself too seriously by not giving too many complicated backstory. In fact, I like Renji and his comic moments as he's very adorable. ^-^

Watch it if you manage to come across this anime. Definitely worth it.
