The hazard

El-Hazard (神秘の世界エルハザード, Shinpi no Sekai Eru Hazādo ^?) is an anime franchise from the anime studio AIC.

The series began with a 7-episode OVA series. It was popular enough to be made into a 26-episode TV series, The Wanderers, which takes place in an alternate timeline. A second 13-episode TV series, The Alternate World, is a continuation of the original OVA timeline.

The story centers on four people from our world (Makoto; Fujisawa; Jinnai and Nanami) who are accidentally transported to the fantasy world of El Hazard, which is threatened by a great war.

El Hazard is a "light" series -- although it has a lot of character development, the series focuses almost entirely on action/adventure and comedy.

In Spain, the first 11 OVAs were distributed by Manga Films and broadcast on Buzz at the end of the 90s.
