This is a fairy tale, I mean literally. There are fairies all over, and the cavalry rides on unicorns. It's pretty awesome, I can't remember a time where the story was plodding, and several times the stakes are upped to a degree I had not expected. As a note, ADV dropped the ball pretty hard, and if you want to find the last volumes on DVD, good luck.
