Just caught the last portion of an episode on CN. Seems...well...might be worth checking out.

The Summary
Some 50 years ago there were two powers in the world. The power of light, Rave, and the power of dark, Dark Bring. In a final showdown against Dark Bring, Shiba used Rave to destroy the dark stone once and for all. After breaking it, a terrible explosion occured -- this was called Overdrive. Overdrive completely wiped out 1/10ths of the entire world. The explosion gave Dark Bring the chance to escape and Rave was split into five pieces and scattered across the globe. Fifty years later, when Shiba strolled into Garage Island -- he met Haru Glory. Not but five minutes later they're being attacked by a member of the Demon Card, the current gang that is using Dark Bring to find Rave and destroy it. While Shiba and Feber (the Demon Card lackey) fight, Shiba discovers that Rave will no longer respond to him. Instead, Rave has chosen a new master. And that would be Haru.

The Characters
Haru Glory:The hero of our story. His mom passed away when he was young and his father has gone missing after he went on a quest to find the RAVE Stones, so Haru spent his youth training so that he can look out for his sister, Cattleya. But, Fate has other plans for the sixteen-year-old. Haru is the new RAVE master, the only one capable of wielding RAVE and defeating Dark Bring. With his transforming sword, the Ten Powers, Haru leaves his home on Garage Island on an unforgettable quest to save the world.
Plue:Is he a dog, a snowman, a fish, a bug? Actually, he's none of those - this little guy is the Rave Bearer, the only one capable of finding the missing RAVE Stones. His pointy nose is quite hard and sharp, so sometimes his companions throw him at enemies like a living dart. He's quite fond of sweets - especially lollipops.
Elie:A girl with no memories. She first meets Haru at the dog races where she was betting on Plue (she's got the luck of the gods on her side). She ends up joining them after Haru saves her. She fights with Tonfa Blasters to explosive effect. A fashionable amnesiac, she only wears Love Believer and Heart Kreus brand clothing. (She may be a cute, gambling-obsessed, amnesiac tomboy, but she's not like Faye Valentine 'cuz Elie likes dogs!)

They have a manga so you might check that out. Manga came first so it might be a better choice to read the manga. Anyway anyone have any idea what this show is?

I liked the intro song.

I heard that the first part was quite good, but it got pretty bad later on. :/ So.... *shrug*

Fudge-knuckles. I missed it for a baseball game! I really wanted to see this show because it has loads of rabid fans.

I actually just checked out the first volume of Rave Master from my library a few days ago. I liked it, but since it's the only one I've read, I couldn't really tell you how it holds up in the long run. But, I do recommend it so far! And Plue the Rave Bearer is cool! Well, more like odd and cute... But I suggest you check it out!

I saw this and was a little dissapointed. It came off as a soccor-mom anime to me, and i'd rather read the manga.

I saw it. Pretty cool. I have a friend that really really likes it, so I'll probably be watching it. The snowman dog thing is awesome.

I heard Konami was making a game or two for this to bring over here. I figured it had something to do with their Bemani series (Like DDR or KR). Hehe.

The anime's okay, but the Manga's alot better. The Theme song=One of the best amime themes besides the Cyborg 009 theme. And that Explosion sword is really cool.

Haven't actually seen the anime, nor do I really wish too, however I do own mangas 1-5 of the series. I like it.

I've never seen this show let alone here of it until you guys mentioned it. It seems, alright and its on cartoonnetwork? What time?

Rave Master?!

*does a liquid dance*

Out of Curiosity, is the Shadow Guard perchance related to Demon Card? And are the Shadow Stones related to Dark Bring? And didn't the Sword of ten Powers break on Garage Island?

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2004 11:38 pm**

Personally, I think the dub names sound better.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2004 12:38 am**

The show seems interesting at best. I'll keep watching.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2004 12:45 am**

Not bad. I'll keep an eye on it.

The intro was pretty bad, though.

It seems kinda funny actually. Though hopefuly the music/dance referanses don't go overboard.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2004 9:11 am**

BUT IT'S RAVE MASTER!

*makes hardcore techno sounds with his mouth, very lamely*

Yeah, I know, I'm a dork.

Just so you know, they kinda edited that scene where Haru met Elie(sp) in Hip Hop City. In the Manga, Haru starts to fight the Carbon Monoxide guy and almost dies but he gets away, and the Carbon Monoxide guy says he'll use the race to lure him back. Haru sits down under the table where Elie's sitting to catch his breath. Elie grabs Haru's head in between her legs when a Demon Card/Shadow Guard member says he has to check under the table and she says "Why? So you can see my panties?" and in the same panel, Haru's head is right inbetween her legs and you can guess that he can see up her mini-skirt. I see why they edited that out...

Don't believe me? Read the Manga.
