This one is fresh for me - I am still impressed by the movie.
I would recommend it to every anime and fantasy fan. It may not be extremely serious and contains well placed gags and jokes, not to mention some decent hentai stuff, it's not all laughs though.
I was genuinely sad for a few moments (Arshes Nei moments,) at others I laughed like crazy. there is a lot to be said for this movie - mainly good things. The bad - not really any there except sometimes for the a bit too much powered-up main character - really, sometimes I thought that it would be much more interesting with more fair fighting. And like always - don't, repeat don't choose English dubbing, it's much more reasonable to listen to the professional and very well chosen Japanese dubbers. The spells sound much better as well.
One more thing - I had a look at the manga - in this case i think the anime and manga are well on par - both are great.
oh it was SO good a movie! wish there was much more! Highly recommended
