Absolutely phenomenal show With some of the best characters I've ever seen And THEE SINGLE GREATEST VILLAIN OF ALL TIME NOTHING and NO ONE has come close to my love of Nox Now I've got the need to watch it again.
It's a shame that season two has pretty bad pacing. It spends a ton of time on episodic adventures that don't build on the plot then rushes to wrap up its entire plot in two episodes. I really need to watch the OVA and season 3.

God dammit Pan.
He's already done that at least twice so I went in to this video expecting some cropped Zone action, and that's exactly what I got.

Given I live in Europe, some episodes of the series were aired on an Italian cartoon network, but I never watched the whole thing. I remember really, shall we say, appreciating the character of Evangelyne, yes indeed. I don't know if I should do that, althought the series has a clear narrative direction (a rarity these days, especially when it comes to "anime") and, as mentioned above, Nox is one hell of a villain. Also, as Wakfu was an adaption of a French strategic MMORPG or something, I remember also another French series on the same vein, Dofus: Kerub's Bazaar. It's also based on a French MMORPG (Dofus), but it's far more loose when it comes to the plot, being basically a collection of self-contained stories https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/225139/651c30a1-e28c-46b8-9768-39b5fa5031cb/a85875799bacac7b3d7c4184509b07a7.png
Dofus was a flash-based MMORPG with turn-based tactical combat, it launched back in 2004 and was all the rage when I was in middle school. I think it was the French equivalent of Runescape in terms of popularity. Wakfu is the sequel to Dofus, set in the same world, but it flopped hard. However, by that time, the developers had diversified into publishing mangas and animes (which I guess was easier since they already had pretty good artists working on the game). I think the people who work there grew up on 80s-era French-Japanese animation series (Ulysses 31, Cities of Gold...) the influence of which can be seen in their animated series and movies.
