It's
the final season of Familiar
of Zero,
Saito has constantly saved and protected the kingdom (and Louise)
from danger and trouble. As Louise learns more about her Void powers
she soon learns she is not alone. An ancient evil awakens, and they
must find the other legendary Void Mages to help save the world.
Saito
was an ordinary boy until he was summoned by Louise to be her
familiar. Louise, his 'master' is a spoiled noble, more often than
not her pride/actions getting her into trouble and needing to be
rescued by Saito afterwards. Eventually, Louise realizes how much
she cares and needs Saito and falls in love with him, but between
saving the world from one disaster to the next, Louis has some tough
competition for Saito... including Siesta, Saito's personal maid.
Tiffa a well endowed elf. Tabetha, Louise's classmate and also
future Queen of Galia. And Queen Henreitta, Louise's childhood
friend.
This
was one of the better longer continuing anime series. It is mainly
comedy romance where the main male protagonist ends up saving the
world (and winning the hearts of the girls he saved). Most of the
comedy comes from the main female protagonist when sees others girls
(specially those who are more well endowed than her) flirting with
our hero (and then punishing him for it). As the series comes to a
close the girls eventually compete openly for the protagonist's
affections.
The
playback performance of the set mirrors the previous seasons we
covered elsewhere on this site: The 1080p 1.78 X 1 image is great and
holds up, especially for its age, while the DTS-HD MA (Master Audio)
2.0 Stereo lossless mixes are as good as it can get, especially for
the show being much older than most of late. Extras
include clean opening and closing animation and trailers.
