Description
Created by Hiro Mashima on the concept of world travel, Rave Master (known as Groove Adventure Rave in Japan) follows the protagonist, Haru Glory, and his strange shivering snowman-like creature called Plue, during their adventures in reuniting the far-scattered pieces of the Rave (a power source) to save their world. It's not actually something I'm into; a bit too odd and melodramatic and epic for my liking. Rather like Final Fantasy. Each to their own.

I based this one in part on the events of episode 42 and 43 of the anime; I have no idea if the dub version got that far in the US. To be brief, Let (a once-human companion of Haru's who has come of age and is going through his 'dragon'-stage) recognises the insignia of the infamous Pumpkin Brigand. The Brigand's biggest member, Wolf (literally, that was his 'Engrish' name, although for some reason he originally wore a fur coat on top of his... fur) caught my eye, despite not being able to talk (I think) and having his right arm outfitted as a gun. The Pumpkin Brigand then try to steal Plue only to be interrupted by another gang, who're all rather... well-stocked in the derrière department. That's as much as I saw. Oh well.

With my thanks to the ever-knowledgeable Zeo.

Enjoy.
