Hello, everyone. I absolutely love the site. It helped me recognize so many of my childhood favorite anime/cartoons.

Anyway, I have a question about El Hazard. I am interested in the proper choronlogical order of events in the show, as I plan on getting the four different series- TV and OVA.

Can anyone please help me with a rough idea of where to start?

I appreciate your help Smile

The First one is El Hazard-The magnificent world
Second is El Hazard 2-The magnificent world
Third is El Hazard- The alternative world

El Hazard-The Wanderers is a completely different retelling of the story, which doesn't fit at all in the timeline of the other three.

I'm going to base this on the starting points of the OAVs.

El Hazard: The Magnificent World
El Hazard: The Magnificent World 2
El Hazard: The Alternative World


El Hazard: The Wanderers (TV) is an alternate take on the story and does not fit in any of the OAV timelines.

Personally, I would just stick with the first OAV since I feel that rest of the OAVs suffer from Tenchi Syndrome: More shows, different presentation, but nothing worth noting to add to the story.

Thank you, guys. That was really helpful.

I actually vaguely remember watching The Magnificent world 1 and 2, and I just realized that reading thru the episode titles.

I remember loving the art and humor of what I watched. I will check the rest if it has the same dosage of humor -and slight lesbian service-injected in it,hehe.
