Summary:

Hikaru ??, Umi Ryuzaki and Fuu Houoji of three different schools were on a field trip to Tokyo Tower when a light summoned them to the magical world of Cephiro, where your will controls everything. Princess Emeraude has been kidnapped and prayed for the Legendary Magic Knights to come save her. After a short greeting from Clef, they gained some armor and magic, and were sent to the Woods of Silence, where they gain their weapons. Now, they must embark on the quest to gain the power to defeat the Priest Zagato and bring peace back to Cephiro.

In the second season, Hikaru, Umi and Fuu pray to return to Cephiro, and find themselves once again in the magical world they once saved, but everything is in turmoil. Now that the pillar of Cephiro is gone, there is nothing to support the world of Cephiro and a new pillar must be found before monsters destroy all that remains. On top of that, three other countries also wish to take the power of Cephiro's pillar for themselves.


Explanation for Rating:

Gammler:
The first season was great. I loved the ending. The second season was fairly predictable, but the characters weren't too bad. It dragged on a bit longer than I would've liked. I never saw the OVAs, but heard they sucked (although the art was good). It's worth seeing, but only the first season is worth seeing more than once.
