I am not a professional reviewer, and to be honest I'm not sure if I can even call this a review, but I've got to say something and I hope it will be useful. First of all I'd like to note:
El Hazard OVA 1 ≠ El Hazard OVA 2
I only could stand one episode, but that was enough to make this conclusion. I was really disappointed to see another failed sequel which I wish was never made. Why? OK, let's dig deeper.
First, OVA 2 focuses TOO MUCH on character relationships, which are so typical that while I was watching I wondered whether it's really the
...
sequel of El Hazard or some mainstream harem anime! And there follows the second complaint - the characters. What happened with their behaviors? Why Mr.Fujisawa is a chicken? Why Fatora is a perverted crosdresser? Miz? What's up with her? And third thing... production quality. Art work is definitely worse (excluding the backrounds, which seem to be copied from OVA 1), and I feel seiyu were slacking. However, let's talk about the story. Well, the magic feeling of an unknown world is no more, OVA 2 starts where OVA 1 ends. And there's not really much new to see, we already know everything - Eye Of God, Priestesses, princesses... No intrigue whatsoever.
Before I finish, I'd like to add - if you're new to El Hazard, start with OVA 1 and forget OVA 2 even exists.
And so, I finish my 'review' and put "El Hazard 2: The Magnificent World" to "Dropped" with a score of 5. Sad story, but it's over.
