History Anime / ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld

* CutShort: ''The Alternative World'' was chopped at 13 of 26 episodes; the last two episodes were horribly rushed messes of trying to resolve a half-dozen subplots at once.

* ShallowLoveInterest: Male example -- the Amazing Vanishing love Interest Guy, who gets {{Brother Chuck}}ed not long after his introduction.

* RapeIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnFemale: Alielle and Fatora sexually harassing many women, particularly Shayla-Shayla, and this is PlayedForLaughs.

* {{Beergasm}}: Fujisawa.

* {{Crossdresser}}

* RapeIsOkWhenItIsFemaleOnMale: In the final episode of ''The Alternative World'', Queen Diva rapes Jinnai to have new Bugrom.

* BestBeerEver: Fujisawa.

* PaleSkinnedBrunette: TV Ifurita

* FingerTwiddling

* IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat: Nanami and Phantom Tribe illusions
-->'''Nanami: (ecstatic)''' How cute! A wedding between the Royal House and the Phantom Tribe!

-->'''Londs: (chuckling)''' "Lady Nanami, surely you jest? This is Galus, her Royal Highness' fiance."
-->'''Nanami: (points at Galus)''' "I surely do not. His skin be blue."

* GuiseWillBeGuise

When he awakens a beautiful woman entombed in a mysterious chamber discovered under his high school, Makoto Mizuhara finds himself (along with several other people) catapulted across dimensions to the world of El-Hazard. Once the site of an unimaginably advanced civilization that destroyed itself in an apocalyptic war, it is now home to a culture that resembles the ArabianNights, sprinkled here and there with the [[LostTechnology remnants of ancient ultratechnology.]]

* WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: In the manga continuity, [[spoiler:it turns out that the Phantom Tribe are the descendants of people unwillingly transported to El-Hazard back when the Eye of God was first used; starting the largest war in recent history was apparently their best plan to go home. Sure, Galus ''says'' that they've been persecuted, but he does not offer much in the way of, y'know, proof, and furthermore ''he is [[ManipulativeBastard Galus.]]'']]

* LoveToHate: Jinnai

* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: Alielle and anyone.

** [[BigO R. Dorothy Wayneright]] is Nanami; just don't give her a [[{{Trigun}} giant gattling gun]]

** Also Jinnai is a male example.

* HotAmazon: an in-universe example, as Alliel is initially drawn to Shayla's red hair and goes googley eyed when she starts to kick Buggrom ass. Also a literal example since she's the priestess of fire!

* [[HeroesWantRedheads Lesbians Want Redheads]]: Alliel and Fatora towards Shayla Shayla.

-->'''Nanami:''' That's fantastic! This diplomatic wedding will bring peace with the Phantom Tribe at last!
-->'''Others:''' Huh? What does the Phantom Tribe have to do with this totally not blue-skinned prince?

* LoveDodecahedron: More or less; Makoto is rare in that he decides who he's interested in rather quickly and that it's pretty damned obvious to the other girls. The sequels tried to ''TenchiMuyo'' things up a bit, implying a TenchiSolution (consistent with Rostaria's Ancient Persian-influenced design), but the sequels' quality has been disputed among the fandom, though of course, YourMileageMayVary. Then again, [[spoiler:the girl he's interested in isn't actually present in the sequels, which take place ''before'' the final scene of the original in which Makoto is reunited with Ifurita; however end credits of the last season expressly indicate he also manages to get together with Nanami and Shayla-Shayla, and the ultimate hot-springs episode clearly shows Qwarool as obsessively determined to stick to him whether she has to share him or not, as long as he doesn't reject her outright]].

* AntiClimaxBoss: After all the build up and dramatic tension, Kalia pwns [[PersonOfMassDestruction Ifurita]] in three simple moves and casually tosses her aside.

* [=~Everything's Better With Princesses~=]: Fatora and Rune.
