Title: MAR: Marchen Awakens Romance

Genre: Fantasy

Creator/Studio: Nobuyuki Anzai/Shopro

DVD Info: 36+ episodes

Company: Viz

Summary: 14-year old boy Ginta is transported to a fantasy world he's only seen in dreams. There he gains superhuman strength and discovers he no longer needs glasses. He also meets a talking weapon named Babbo, and that's only the first episode!

The Good: Some really nice CG effects. The imagination is very vivid. The story is a lot of fun and reminscent of the sword and sorcery stuff I was into as a child.

The Bad: The artwork could use some polish.

Offensive Material: Usage of magic and mild violence.

Overall: This is a great show so far. I recommend it for all fantasy fans. My Review: 4.0 Category: A

Comment: Based on the manga of the same name which is also carried by Viz. Nobuyuki Anzai also created Flame of Recca.
