Magic Knight Rayearth
Aired: 1994 - 1995
The first-season TV anime adaptation of CLAMP's manga, broadcast for 49 episodes from October 1994 to November 1995 and produced by Yomiuri TV and Tokyo Movie Shinsha. Middle-school girls Hikaru Shido, Umi Ryuzaki and Fuu Hououji are summoned from Tokyo Tower to the parallel world of Cephiro, where they must rise as the Magic Knights and rescue Princess Emeraude. Featuring unique companions, contracts with sentient mecha and a shocking late-series twist, this sweeping fantasy fuses magical-girl elements aimed at female viewers with classic RPG-style adventure, establishing itself as one of the defining franchises of the 1990s.
