Explosive Array is called Dil Brand in the Japanese version of the series. The reason the Shadow Reflector was broken was that it made an opposit personality copy in every possible way. So someone who was a violent, womanizing, booze guzling maniac would be a pacifist who couldn't stand the mere ide...

If I remember correctly, the Elmekia Lance spell, and probably it's stronger variant Elmekia Flame, was developed and used by the knights and mages of the Elmekia kingdom during the Dark Resurrection War (the one a thousand years ago) to great effect on the many low end Mazoku Hellmaster Phibrizzo h...

One last possibility for the decline we haven't considered yet is that rather that it was the Dragons that were responsible for the destruction of the lore, it was the Mazoku. This way, they would rid themselves of the greatest threat humanity would pose for them. And it's known that Xellos at the v...

The reason magic dwindled outside and prospered inside the barrier is probably a result of the hightened Mazoku presence inside while they got to be pretty uncommon outside. Magic is shown as the only really effective method of getting rid of any demons not depending on a physical body. Without this...

If he were to make it very clear that it's mostly the government and the people's inability to speak out against it, (wich is a despotic system in an otherwise democratic society), he would be betraying not so much his friends as an incompetent and corrupt government. Of course, the question is if b...

It is implied that Zelgadis has been completely transformed, and not merely his outer skin. And although this is just speculation on my part, it's quite possible that Naga and Lina split up after Lina first tried the Giga Slave. Amusingly, it seems that by the time of book 8 Lina knows or atleast su...

Mazoku can cast spells actually, but they never cast any spells that depend on a power other than their own. Or atleast, those mazoku that are fully spiritual life forms don't. To do so is to deny their own power. And as their own power is their own life, to do that is suicide. Shamanism doesn't hav...

Afraid you are wrong there Hazard The Story of Melusine , The Dragon Prince and Jilocasin all predate Tolkien and the are all about intelligent dragons. In fact the Dragon in Jilacasin is a Bard who liked to take human form to show off the new songs hea had written. Really? Well, learn something ne...

It's Episode 25 actually, that Phil charges in. Gourry shows he's not always stupid and recognizes him, calling him Phil-san in the Japanese version and Prince Philionel in the English, followed by Amelia calling him 'tou-san and daddy respectively. Zelgadis already knows Amelia is the Princess of S...

Dragons have always been smart and powerful in mythology, and in many cases this has transfered into fantasy and popular media, but not always. There are plenty of other beasties and ghouls out there in mythology and fantasy if you want a tough monster fight, so dumbing down dragons is really not n...

From a new writer (Meltz) at the Anime Addventure episode 206149: A little joke about Sekhmet is that as goddess of blood-spilling/drinking and representation of female ferocity, she can also be called the patron goddess of PMS A remarkable insight into an admittedly obscure goddess. I think that if...

IIRC, the ranks of the Gods in the AMG universe is a pun on the way the Japanese issue and rank driver's licenses, so you should look there for a close in view. That said, Belldandy, being a First Class Second Category goddess, is considered to be extremely high ranking and powerful, while Lind is l...

Kalad, according to The Word of God , Chrono's name was accidentally misspelled. It was always meant to be Chrono and the only reason it was spelled as Chrno was a clerical error. A crossover could work, for the very simple reason that the main themes behind the shows seem to mesh rather well. In bo...

You mean the Demon's Blood Talismen. And there is a very, very , very good reason she is like that about them: The Four Dark Lords, Chaotic Blue, Death Fog, Darkstar and Ruby Eye each bled atleast once, and that blood was caught and turned into the Talismen, making them direct connections to those b...

Re: Imperfect Facsimile Prologue

...plopping down on her cyan blue mattress cover... The color is a little bit redundant. Actually it isn't, it's a pleonasm, intentially or not. You could drop the 'blue', but it enforces the idea that cyan is a particular shade of blue, and as such quite allowable. A similar idea is writing emeral...
