About Fairy Musketeers

Here is what Fairy Musketeers (おとぎ銃士 赤ずきん) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, comedy and fantasy anime by MADHOUSE and diomedéa (2006). The premise: Long, long ago, there existed a realm of magic and science. God, afraid of man's potential, split the world in to the world of science, Elde, and the world of magic, Fandavale.

Soon after, one day in Fandavale, a terrible witch named Cendrillon revives. Cendrillon plots to rule both worlds, and searches for the "key" which holds tremendous power. A young boy from Elde by the name of Souta crosses paths with a mysterious girl from Fandavale, Akazukin, and her talking wolf companion, Val.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Gretel (Sayuri Yahagi) and Randarjo (Akiko Kobayashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 39 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
