Ruin Explorers is a relatively new and amusing fantasy OAV series which originally started out as manga in 'RPG Magazine' around 2-3 years ago. The creator is Kunihiko Tanaka. The story centers around Ihrlie (abbreviated to "Ihrie" in the English version) and her magic-using sidekick, Fam as they start their adventure in quest of the "Ultimate Power." Naturally along the course of their journey, they manage to stumble their way through every single death-dealing trap in existence. At first they are also hampered by the pursuit of two rival explorers, Miguel and Rasha. But eventually, they are forced to team up to fight against a much stronger and evil foe. Why do they want this "Ultimate Power" you might ask. Well, watch it and you'll find out. ;-) Anyway, all 4 episodes have already been released on two tapes by ADVision in dubbed and subbed format. Overall, the series is a fine story about friendship and comradery.
