It was really unusual to see how little of an online presence this series has. I guess it is the cost of having come out before the internet had really taken off. Even the facebook pages were woefully inactive.
I think one of the biggest problems with El-Hazard is the fact that no one ever really published affordable DVD's for this series. Geneon started doing that for OVA 1 and 2, but it went kaput.
The Geocities demise also took down most of the El-Hazard fansites. We were able to merge one of the best, because the creators were old members of this forum, as explained here.
Ah yeah, quite a lot of places got taken out in the geocities purge (including one of my own, which I am most thankful for its eradication
) from all kinds of fandoms. Sites going down in general sucks since that information may be lost entirely to time. Even the Wayback Machine can't save everything. It's why I'm glad to see a place like this still up and running even after all these years of little activity. The information still has a home.
Having any kind of media release would be nice, even a digital high resolution stream/downloadable copy would do wonders. Shame that the
Magnificent World BR set got canned, would have been nice to see El-Hazzy on shelves again somewhere.
