 The animated
series, "Mamotte Shugogetten!" is based on the manga
written by Sakurano Minene. The series began airing on 10/17/1998 on TV Asahi.
This is the first joint
fansub venture between Wasabi Anime
& Studio Gai.
The story is
about Shichiri Tasuke, a schoolboy whose father, Tarousuke, is an explorer and
archaeologist. One day, he sends Tasuke a strange ring he discovered in China.
When Tasuke opens the package, a girl appears from within the ring. Her name is
Shugogetten Shaorin and her destiny is to protect the person who releases her from the
shitenrin. After being confined for 4,000 years, you can imagine how familiar she is
with the modern world. She's more adept at causing chaos and trouble for Tasuke then
protecting him! Shao's ability to call forth hoshigami (small spirits) wreaks havoc
for young Tasuke.
His father
also sends him an ancient rod he unearthed in the same location as the ring. From
the rod appears Keikoniten Ruuan. Ruuan and Shao are long time rivals. Ruuan's
ability is bringing inanimate objects to life. |
