Now I caught some flak for my last Throwback, apparently to some 10 years isn't old enough to be called a "throwback", but let me know what you think. If you wanna see older animes in this section leave a comment. Anyway today's Throwback is Sorcerous Stabber Orphen. The title really tells you all you need to know about the plot. The main character's name is Orphen and he stabbed a sorcerous and because of this his life has become a lot more difficult. Exiled from the Tower of Fang Orphen is forced to make new allies, such as Cleao Everlasting and his new apprentice Majic Lin. Yes his apprentice, who is studying to become a sorcerer, is named Majic. Really? Orphen still has an ally in the Tower of Fang, his old friend Hartia. In order to keep up appearances Hartia dons a disguise of his favorite manga character when ever he helps Orphen. Unfortunately for Hartia when reveals his name as "Black Tiger" he is mistakes as "Shrimp Man". Black Tiger Shrimp I guess? Hartia is actually one of the funniest characters in the anime, even funnier then the comic relief characters Volkan and Dortin. Overall this is a great series with memorable characters and surprisingly deep and interesting story. So if you are into fantasy anime take a look and if you enjoy the series there is a second season called Orphen: The Revenge. Of course it has a killer opening theme too.
