Daily Obscure/Underrated Anime Recommendations Number Seventy
Sorcerous Stabber Orphen (1998)
(Story: Six years ago at the magic school known as the Tower of Fang, a grave accident happened involving the magical sword Baltanders and the magic user Azalie. Unable to control the sword's power, Azalie was transformed into the shape of a great dragon who since that day became known as Bloody August. Krilancelo, a young magician at the Tower who cared greatly for Azalie found much to his disgust that the elders of the Tower of Fang were less than willing to save Azalie and wanted rather to pretend the accident never happened. Angered by their stand, Krilanceloa swore that he would find a way to return Azalie to her former self. Thus he forsook the name Krilancelo and declared himself Orphen, leaving the Tower and his magical studies behind to wander the world...)
(Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery)
(Released 1998; 24 episodes; TV-14)
(Notes: Why is the OP song so funky? The ending song is super good too. Gosh dang. I can't believe i said 'gosh dang' unironically. Crying rn. Anyway, this is an enjoyable little show. Not gonna break any new ground but for what it is, it's fun. It aired on Adult Swim before. But people don't talk about it or even mention it really but i am. Orphen has drip, that's all im saying. Oh and steer clear of the 2020 reboot of this show. It isn't as good. And again, the retro anime art style always slaps. At least in my opinion.) Read Note
