About Maryuu Senki

Looking for background on Maryuu Senki (魔龍戦紀)? This fantasy and horror series by AIC (1987) starts out like this. In short: Once upon a time, there was a certain family having strong influence on the rule of the Imperial Court. They had their own might called "Kidou" and yet got hated because of the might itself.

Along the way, at last, the patriarch of the family was entrapped to his death, and all the family was doomed to ruin... The present day — the survived descendants of this family, now calling themselves "Kidousyuu" schemed to resurrect their murdered patriarch once again, and the ferocious evil spell went into action.

As a fantasy title, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. Kyouichi Hiyuu (Tesshou Genda) and Gendou Houshi (Chikao Ootsuka) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds. With 3 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
