wikiepedia Wrote:Elemental Gelade (エレメンタル ジェレイド, Erementaru Jereido?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mayumi Azuma. The fantasy adventure is a tale of a group of five who are on a journey to Edel Garden, the birthplace of mystical beings called Edel Raids who are described as "living weapons".

The manga series has been adapted into a TV anime produced by XEBEC, two light novels, two video games for the PlayStation 2 and Gameboy Advanced and four drama CDs. The anime ended with 26 episodes, but the original manga is still being published in the monthly Japanese manga magazine Monthly Comic Blade.

Prior to the original broadcast of the anime on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2005, both the manga and anime were licensed by Tokyopop and Geneon Entertainment, respectively for North American distribution. The announcement was made even after ADV announced they acquired licensing rights for both manga and anime a year before.[1][2]

My review:
--Besides retelling the story from an manga exactly how it supposed to be. this series takes that note to another level, by creating an alternate story with an few events matching the manga itself. This is one that i didn't mind that kind of change from the manga. the music matches what is happening in the story well. i would this one of the best series i have seen in a while.

although i have only seen up esp 14... it's really good.

My rating:
8/10.

yes. but they are only in japanese.

by now i have finished the anime. it plays on a new story very well.

same characters... sort of.
