Coud Van Giruet, a sky-thief, stumbles upon a cute, dark, lonely girl named Reverie Metherlance and finds out that she is an Eden-raid, a weapon of sorts. (Or so we are led to believe...) Right from the beginning, a fight breaks out from the get go to obtain the power of Reverie Metherlance, otherwise known as the "Shichikouhouju." Coud is then left possession of Reverie, or Ren, and in the ensuing fight, reacts with her and creates an intimate bond that he will carry throughout the rest of this adventure. Treating Ren as if she was human, he alone remains the hero throughout the rest of series and gets help from an unlikely source: the trio (Rowen, Cisqua, and Kuea) from Arc Aile, an organization that protects Eden-raid while really isolating them. Attacks on our protagonists come from the Chaos Choir as well, and the plot twists and thickens. Throughout the series, Coud's strength and willpower are tested again and again as he strives to bring Ren to the Garden of Eden and encounters many obstacles along the way, physical and emotional. A very poignant and passionate series, Erementar Gerad will not disappoint the action/romance fan as Coud's and Ren's struggle to find their purpose in life highlights this anime series.

Like I said this show is pretty darn cliched. It uses the age old elements of main heroine kidnapping, love and friendship, moon tiara action (oh wait...scratch that last one). The humor gets you laughing a little but you really don't get much of it except from Cisqua. Keau tries but her "I'M HUNGRY!" lines get old very fast. I will say this about Eremental Gerad. Every episode is very nicely laid out. There is never too much or too little in an episode and there are practically NO fillers. The show keeps an excellent pace until the very end. You'll find that you watch this series and you can't help but think it was cute. Unfortunately it's not one of those series you'll be watching over and over again (in my personal opinion, mind you).
