"The Magnificent World of El-Hazard") is a Japanese anime franchise written by Ryoe Tsukimura and directed by Hiroki Hayashi.

When Mr. Fujisawa suddenly runs off, getting cold feet the night before his wedding with Miz Mishtal, Makoto and the others race off to find him.

In response, Ifurita comes to love Makoto, but events involving the Eye of God (see below) force her to drift through time and space for ten thousand years until she is eventually entombed under what would later become the site of Shinonome High School.

In the final episode, Ifurita is reunited with an older Makoto who has transported back to her with her key, enabling them both to return to El-Hazard together.

The Phantom Tribe also sabotage the Eye, causing it to go out of control when the Princesses Rune Venus and Fatora use it to destroy the Bugrom.

It's stopped by Ifurita, who synchronizes with the device and is ultimately lost in time and space for ten thousand years as a result.

In The Alternative World, another Eye of God appears, but this one is a shattered version of the original and does not seem to need a princess and three priestesses to unseal it.

The series began as a seven episode OVA produced by the animation studio AIC and Pioneer LDC, and it was entitled as, El-Hazard: The Magnificent World.

El-Hazard: The Alternative World is a thirteen-episode TV series with a follow-up special later released on laserdisc called "A Night of Captivation, Temptation, and Purification".

On August 13, 2018, AIC announced that they were planning to crowdfund a short five minute pilot for a new El Hazard series titled The Dual World.
