‘Majutsushi Orphen Hagure Tabi’ or Sorcerous Stabber Orphen has been adapted from an extremely vintage light novel series, and that’s why it has its own classic feel to it. Its elements of fantasy and world-building might seem a bit typical, but have a richness to them that reminds you of some other shows of the 90s like ‘Akira‘.

As one would expect, it also involves a delinquent snarky hero who sets out on grand adventures and defies the norms of his fantastical world. Despite being bleached out into a generic medievalness of every fantasy story, one thing about it that’ll appeal to most anime viewers of today is its intense action that is reminiscent of some forgotten classics. And since Studio Deen is taking care of its animation, we can expect it to have some top-notch production value. With that said, here is everything you need to know about it.

They do get along quite well, but at the same time, they also get into a lot of silly fights all the time. She initially admires Orphen from afar but later develops some genuine feelings for him and becomes more expressive about how she feels. After spending so much time with him, she gets really attached and starts to deeply care for him.
