Description:
In addition to the 1998 broadcast series Shadow Skill, there have been three OVAs based on Megumu Okada's popular manga about champion fighter Elle Ragu. Elle, a.k.a. Shadow Skill, has so completely mastered difficult fighting techniques, she's attained the the rank of Sevalle--the 59th to hold that title in 2,000 years. With her adopted kid brother Gau Ban and her chiding companion Faurink Maya, Elle wanders through the realm of Kuruda fighting in tournaments and killing demon beasts. When she's not fighting, she can usually be found in a tavern racking up a substantial tab. Shadow Skill mixes offbeat humor with feats of derri

When she's not fighting, she can usually be found in a tavern racking up a substantial tab. Shadow Skill mixes offbeat humor with feats of derring-do, but the flat timing keeps much of the comedy and combat from playing as effectively as it should. The net effect is like watching Lina Inverse from Slayers portraying Goku in a Takarazuka production of a minor Dragon Ball Z adventure. (Rated TV PGV, suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
The kingdom of Kuruda has known many warriors none greater than the Sevalle an elite breed whose mastery of martial arts has made them legendary. But for the 59th Sevalle Elle Ragu a.k.a. Shadow Skill being a legend is shaping up to be something of a drag. After all adventure alone doesn't pay the rent and living check to check takes its toll on even the fiercest warrior. Strong as an ox and stubborn as a mule she may be but it's drinking like a fish that usually gets Elle in trouble. And as she travels alongside her brother Gau leaving property damage and unpaid bar-tabs in their wake a new threat looms on the horizon: spies from the kingdom of Solfan have entered the picture and Kuruda seems to be headed for war...
