Anyone seen it? I've seen some of the previews, and it looks pretty good. All the blood and violence, it looks good. However, I'm not sure if I should buy it. Also, I would have to split it with my 12 year old brother, so could you say if it's appropriate for his age group.

I love Orphen. It was soooo good. I deffinitely recommend it. I hate sharing with my brother. He doesn't understand that most anime isn't kid friendly....

But Orphen's not bad. There's some swearing, and I believe on the second DVD, there's a brief slice of a nude-shot or something, but it's not major. It's pretty good, especially if he's already 12, so it really shouldn't matter. There's nothing really bad in it, and it's not really that bloody, are you sure it's Orphen? I can barely remember any violence and blood (actually, there was some, but not as much as you make it sound like..)O.o

The anime is way better than the PS2 game. The dub of orphen is actually good, too. I think the voices were matched pretty well. Except maybe Majic....I don't like Spike Spencer's voice for him...it just sounds weird. I bought the PS2 game after seeing the anime, and it really wasn't the same....

[COLOR=deeppink]The bums at my school made us watch it in ENGLISH, idiots, so I hated it. I dunno if it's good or not because of them... Anyway, if you're gonna get it, get it in Japanese.

On a side note, for all you Final Fantasy Eight fans out there: Doesn't Orphen look JUST LIKE Squall? He's the spitting image!![/COLOR]

I totally disagree with that. I think the english version was done very well. I liked the dubbed Orphen, they even bothered to get real children voices instead of using the same one as the "adult" orphen. And the dub followed pretty closely. I have the dvd's, so I've compared the subbed version to the dubbed version. ANYWAYS....actually, I don't really have anything else to say...*scratches head, then pushes 'submit reply'*

Okay, Orphen is about this person named Orphen (duh...I know..). See, Orphen lost his REALLY good friend when she turned into a dragon, I believe her name is Azalie (sp?). Well, he gets this sword to help her, but it's not powerful enough, so he has to get more magic, and power so he can bind her. Orphen starts traveling on the road, still looking for a azalie, or a way to help her. Oprhen also travels with 2 companions. Majic, Orphen's apprentice (did I mention Orphen's a sorcerer?), and Cleao, this stuck-up princess. That's about it.

[size=1][color=firebrick]Last night, I downloaded the first episode. I know that is kinda cheap I plan on evantually buying the series. Anyway, it was pretty cool, the beggining was kind of weird. But as I watched the episode, I grew to love it. Does anyone else watch Orphen and is the dubbed version worth buying?[/size][/color]

I absolutely love Majutsushi Orphen! Yep yep....I love almost everything about it, and I'm ALMOST done with the first season. ^-^

I actually like Orphen's dub....I think David Matranga did a very good VA job. ;) After comparing it with the subs, it sure is different, and has a different script, but the dub just adds a little more spunk to the show. ^^ I dunno, overall I really like the dub, except maybe for Majic's voice. Ick....I hate Spike Spencer...
