Hi there... How are you doing guys!!? Hope you are fine.... Well here I am again to create this simple little thread, it's about a good anime named Rune Soldier Louie/Mahou Senshi Louie... I guess some of you might heard of this anime and I guess it's kinda cool so I decided to create this simple thread about and write a simple review... Well it's not a very popular anime even though it's new, well this anime is from the same guy who was behind the great legendary anime Record Of The Lodoss War... Since I like Record Of The Lodoss War don't be surprised if I said I like this one too because after all it's the creation of the same guy so I really appreciate him for these great animes with the cool original fantasy stories which I like very much... 24 episodes of amazing action, adventure and comedy in a whole cool fantasy world, so if you think you are a fantasy anime fan then just keep on reading... Well before I start I wish to thanks alot of guys, of course one of them is the webmaster of Best Anime, one of my favorite anime site around the net, I thank him for the screen shots he posted in his site and I posted links to the site, here is the link to the main site: www.bestanime.com... I also would like to thank my good friend Lord Zato for the character's informations and story it was his efforts on finding the informations since you guys know this anime is not popular and it's hard to find webpages related mainly for this anime... I also would like to thanks the guys in AnimeNewsNetwork for the informations about this anime, for the voice cast and the general informations, I really appreciate it... Also thanks for the people who created webpages for this anime because I got the informations and posted up here so don't thank me, thanks reffers to these guys... Anyway I also would like to say that maybe there are some SPOILERS down there so keep that in mind, also this anime have some really bad scenes and that's what I don't like so I just wanted to warn you before starting... Ok here we go...

REVIEW:
=====================
The story: 7/10
The characters: 7/10
The Animation: 9/10
The musics: 7/10
Overall: 7.5/10
THE STORY:
The story is pretty good if you ask me, I don't know but I think it's kinda original and it's in the fantasy world, since I like the Fantasy's anime I guess I can't say it's bad, Ok the story isn't that good but I accept it, pretty old if you ask me, just like the others, kinda remind me a little of some old RPG's stories (Hehe why not!? After all it's another fantasy anime) I know many of you would like the story of this anime and I accept it also, it's pretty cool, but it's not very deep... The story is that a group of girls looking for adventures and for a magic user to go along with them in their journey for the gold and treasures...etc finally they stuck with a young lonely man who is a newbie to the magics and trained to sorceror since his father was the head of sorceror college, he found himself foloowing his path searching for his destiny, giving the others the helping hand even though he hates the travels...etc So as you can see the story might not be the best but I think it's pretty good, at least it's very intresting to see the group fighting and ruining dungeons, facing alot of troubles and there never ending way to the adventures along with some comedy scenes, well maybe it was only me but at least I think it's pretty good...
THE CHARACTERS:
As for the characters they are pretty good, there are alot of great characters... As for the the characters design well it's really very good and I think it's original especially Jean... Sadly there are less males in this anime and that's why I didn't like the characters much because of course I would prefer to see males over females not 3 females and one male... Anyway Riui is a pretty cool character I guess and funny at the same time, he kinda looks serious and somehow boring but he is an intresting guy even though I mostly don't like the heroes of the animes but this guy was really amazing and funny, maybe that's why I like him... As for Jean, if you see her face and her arms you will for sure would say she is a man but she is not, I really thought she was a man because her face is really like the guys and nobody can say she is a girl till they see the body but the face is a man! I don't know what the character's designer was thinking!? but anyhow Jean is one of my favorite characters in this anime, a girl as a great swordsman, that's a pretty good idea I think, but if she had a better costume... As for Melissa well she is boring and I really don't like her, I mean these type of the characters that makes the anime worse for me but for the others maybe it's the best type for the character, so everything depends... As for Mirell well she is not bad and not that good, I saw alot of characters that have the same personality as her so it's maybe nothing new here but yet at least she is better than Melissa (At least for me) As for Aira, well she is kinda boring too, nothing special with her just a boring one and I didn't like her I wished if she was better than this, though... Well there are alot of girls in this anime, especially they are the main characters so maybe the girls gonna like this anime a little more than the guys I think but yet since this is a fantasy anime I guess both can see it... It's a bad luck for me because I don't like girls in anime much, though... As for their costums I guess it's kinda cool but since this is a fantasy anime I think they should be wearing a little more stuff, because with there current costume they are kinda... Oh well I don't need to say it, you know what I mean! Anyway I've met alot of people who said the characters are not bad and I am one of them so you might like them...
THE ANIMATION:
One of the the best thing I like in this anime is the animations of course... It's very cool and well done, I appreciate the working team on the animations and the art, they really did a very good job, Computers effects were nicely done kinda like the CG... I know it's not the best and there are some animes which is better than this but this is also very cool, you just check the screen shots and you will know what I mean, no bugs with the animations... The picture and the graphics were very good also not to forget the fantasy world and the background, it was really creative and many people agree with me... As many people said before me, The animation is very nice and clean So I guess you all will like it... That's not a surprise after all this anime was created in 2001 and that's mean it's kinda a new anime, I really prefer it to many others around... The art style is very good and I really like it so much, of course that's because Kenji and Takashi Wada were behind the arts of this anime so forsure it's gonna rocks...
THE MUSICS:
The sounds and musics are pretty cool and not bad as many people just said... It fits the scenes unlike some other animes I know, true it's not that great but some of my friends like it so much and I don't know why he like it that much lol, well everything depends and everybody has his own opinion I think, all I have to say that I accept the musics of the anime, there are some good ones but it's hard to be noticed as some people reviewed and I have to agree with them... The opening theme is not that bad but I wished if it was better same goes for the ending, but there are some good ones in the anime itself... Well I don't know what to say more but as for my opinion the musics are good, that's all...
OVERALL:
Well I don't know what to say more, I already said alot hehe... Anyway I guess this show is intresting and enjoyable, many people said the same thing, it has some comedy and funny scenes which give the anime a good taste, the anime was pretty good... As for the story, well it's intresting to see a group of the greatest girls adventurers can't do anything with a door being sealed by magic so they are in need for a magician to help them and going on to their adventure, arguing and fighting just like little kids... As for the characters, well not my type of characters but yet I can't say they are bad, I think they are pretty cool somehow and I am sure many of you gonna like the characters... As for the animations well nothing can be said here but a a very good art and animations... As for the musics well well not bad and not very good yet it's acceptable for this anime... So I guess it's a pretty good anime and you should give it a try... It's just like in a Record Of The Lodoss War world but this anime have better and more comedy scenes because Record Of The Lodoss War is a serious anime, also I prefer Star Ocean Ex to this anime, I guess it was far better than Rune Soldier Louie... Well I already know some of my friends like this show so maybe you will be one of them too, who knows!? Anything might happen... It's up to you my friend and good luck... That's what I have to say about this anime...

THE STORY:
=======================
http://darklorddragon.jeeran.com/images/rslintro.jpg
The story is about a group of girls who likes the adventures and they are, Jenny a swordswoman, Melissa the priest of War master, and Mirell the thief, are a party of first class female adventurers. This time they come upon a ruin with a magically sealed entrance lacking a way of gaining entry. So it is decided a 4th member for the party, a wizard, is needed for this and future adventures. Louie, student mage at the mage guild, adopted son of the great arch mage Kalas, by fate crosses his path with the party of adventurer. Thus the story of Louie the Rune Soldier, or warrior mage, begins.
==========================
THE CHARACTERS:
==========================
RIUI
Muskuloeser, easily tolpatischiger Raufbold looks for Abenteuerergruppe. That does not hear itself actually after the announcement of a Magiers on. could however in Riui's case quite one be. He understands himself also on the application of the magic, but of it one receives first only quite few. Its remaining characteristics are too dominant. Despite all its Macken draws nevertheless one for Riui out. its good heart. And it is not what constitutes a true hero. Well, one will see...
MELISSA
It should actually be the most important day in Melissa's life. Finite was it so far that you should be revealed by Myrii their hero. And which does not get they. a up-merry nothing-uses. that can nevertheless be true. That is whole and what had associated her with a hero. But if it is the will Myriis, then one must also adhere to. Perhaps one is on the first (second, third,..) view thinking likes at Bur the more to, than.
MIRELL
Okay.. gold is important. One must finally which bite have and also a roof over the Kopst is not badly. But it is real the most important. If one Mirell asks... in any case. One gives to Mirell a pot fully gold. can it a few minutes time with him be made friends. and now tries one to take it from her away again. LARGE ERROR. So fast Mirell does not give a treasure from the hands. and already not voluntarily. neee never
JEAN NEVER
A Kriegerin like it in beech there sinds mostly stands, okay men. But does not need Jean never to hide itself before such with the best will. Yes, completely in the opposite. Most members of the other sex cannot Jean never hand the water, if it comes to the duel of the swords. And also Riui gets in or other time almost over-clearly to feel.
AIRA
A Magier colleague and a good friend of Riui. It is one that completely few, if not the none one, which seems to disturb itself not too much at Riui's of strange kind. Except something with other women. then nevertheless already verfinstert itself Aira's face has to do or other time. If there not times which in the shrubs is.
