And you know what? When I started watching this show I was expecting it to be some sort of light-hearted, wacky action/adventure story, like "El-Hazard" or "Slayers" or somesuch...but it's actually pretty dark (for what it is, anyway)! I'm six episodes in and already at least two characters who had seemed rather important have been killed (technically a third has been turned to stone, which may or may not equate to death since he's still able to communicate with the heroines telepathically)!
The English dub bears commentary as well--overall it isn't that great, but it does have some interesting spots, like a young Wendee Lee as the blue magic knight Umi, and Lex Lang of all people (who also played Sano in "Rurouni Kenshin," for the record) as the evil emperor Zagato.
I'll be watching "Slayers" later this summer too, so I'll be interested to make comparisons (I know both shows are very girl-power heavy, which is pretty damn awesome).
