Girl From Phantasia...

Way back in the misty dawn of time, I picked up the VHS version of Girl From Phantasia...
When is a rug not a rug? When it's the gateway to another dimension of course! Unfortunately, magic carpets don't always come with labels, so when young Akihiro discovers the floor covering in question, all he can think about is how impressed his girlfriend Michiko will be by his new "necking pad". Akihiro's amorous intentions are abruptly shagged when, while fondling the deep plush pile, the cute, cuddly and very female sprite Malon pops into his hands! While this might seem like the ultimate in adolescent wish fulfillment, the question quickly becomes not whether Akihiro is deserving of such "good fortune" but whether he will even survive the attention of The Girl From Phantasia!
In Girl From Phantasia, a boy meets a strange girl who appears from a magical realm hidden in a carpet. Her friends and enemies show up to complicate the boy's life and everybody's happy at the end, except the boy. So, if you like Urusei Yatsura or Tenchi Muyo, you'll probably like this and vice versa. A nice romantic comedy where most of the characters are named after food. I really enjoyed Girl From Phantasia. I gave Girl From Phantasia a 4 out of 5.
