Hello, I just bought the El Hazard series, all of them. The Magnificent World, Wanderers, Alternative World...
My question is, what order should I watch them in? It says that Wanderers is a alternate retelling (of what? both ovas or just magnificent world?)... So should I watch that last? It looks like it should be: Magnificent World > Alternative World > Wanderers But Is that the order I should watch them? I dont wanna mess anything up or spoile anything for me. Im guessing im supposed to watch them in this order though: Magnificent World > Wanderers > Alternative World thanks

I'm pretty sure M>A>W is the right order. But they aren't really chronological series, or at least not from my perspective. I've never seen Alternate World, but I'm guessing that's a sort of sequel to Magnificent. Wanderers, however, is definetly an alternate retelling of Magnificent, with similar characters but completely different pairings.
Anyway, I love the original Magnificent world OVA. In my opinion, it does the most with the short amount of episodes it has. Wanderers is okay by itself but suffers from lots of filler episodes. |

Is there a big enough difference between Magnificent World and Wanderers? Like, did I waist my money buying both?

Ifirita in Magnificent World is a lot cooler and sexy while the Ifirita in Wanderers is just an airhead.

So has anyone seen the whole series? What order would you recommend me watching them in? It doesn't matter what order there supposed to be, what would you suggest?

The Wanderers is a complete seperate entity from the Magnificent World and Alternative World. The Wanderers is suppose to be a retelling of the Magnificent World, but expanded to 26 episodes and made for a younger audience in mind. I would suggest watching the Wanderers first from personal experience. I had watched the Magnificent World and held it in so high regards that I couldn't stand watching the water downed version that was the Wanderers. As for the order of the last 2. The Magnificent World has 2 series in it, El-Hazard the Magnificent World and El-Hazard 2. They are directly linked. In El-Hazard the Magnificent World, one character "proposes" to another. In El-Hazard 2, the character who proposed got cold feet and ran away thus triggering a new adventure. The Alternative World takes place after the two characters get married.

To answer your question watch The Magnificent World (El Hazard, then El Hazard 2). Then watch The Alternative World. Don't even bother with the Wanderers. As gnikdrazil said, Wanderers is a crappy retelling of the first El Hazard. Not only is it watered down, lots of characters are different and the main story is changed quite a bit. |
