RG Veda

Aired: 1991

An OVA adaptation of CLAMP's mythic fantasy manga. In a heavenly realm rooted in Vedic mythology, the tyrant Taishakuten has slain the Ashura clan, leaving only the mysterious child Ashura behind. The star-reading Yasha-o teams with Ashura to gather the Six Stars foretold by ancient prophecy, journeying through a celestial world torn by power and destiny. Lush art, ornate costume design and a mix of swordplay and esoteric magic frame a story drenched in melancholy and fated tragedy. Nick Wood's atmospheric music elevates the cosmic scale, marking this two-part OVA as one of the earliest definitive screen adaptations of CLAMP's storytelling.
