Saber Marionette J to X
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saber Marionette J to X (セイバーマリオネット J to X) is the last part of the "Saber Marionette" saga, that occurs months after Saber Marionette J Again. Like the others it was created by Satoru Akahori (赤堀悟, あかほりさとる). It was trasmitted originally in Japan since October 6, 1998 to August 25, 1999. It is licenced by Bandai Visual.
The drawing style is different in a way from Saber Marionette J. The history in the firsts episodes is based on the life of Otaru with Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry, along with his neighbor Mitsurugi Hanagata, Lorelei that takes the place of Ieyasu Tokugawa. Despite that the history occurs lightly, later the resurge of Gartland is told, its army and the reappear of Faust and his sable marionettes Tiger, Lynx and Panther, and the reappear of the dark doctor Hess. Then after destroying what was left from Gartland, Otaru wins a trip to Xi'An where things get complicated enormously for Otaru and Hanagata where they get envolved in a conspiration against Otaru. Saber Marionette J to X is much more dramatic than the others and the marionettes, specially Lime, express their desire to be humans.
At the end, their wishes come true as they go to face Dr. Hess, when he dies the marionettes have to return to Terra II but the ship where they are exploded. When everyone tought that the marionettes died, Faust's sable marionettes and Lorelei feel something that they think are Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry, and they see three light rays reach a mountain where they turn to human babies. Lorelei finds a hopeless Oratu and tells him to go see what was found, and he finds the three marionettes turned into human babies so it was a dramatic reencounter as he embraced the babies.
Then, 7 years later, you can see Hanagata writing a novel about Otaru's life with the marionettes until a seven-year-old Bloodberry appears annoying him, then appears Lime with Otaru and the Cherry, both seven year old, also a not-so-older Otaru. So peace returned to planet Terra II, Otaru became obiously Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry's father, Faust went to research the planet but before that tells each of his sable marionettes to find another lifestyle, Hanagata became a song writer and director and Panther his new editor, Luchs became a happy reporter, and Tiger travels to find out more about herself. So everyone lived happy forever and ever...
