Magic Knight Rayearth is set in two worlds - our own, Earth, and the magical world of Cephiro where a person's strength of will determines all. One day, three earth schoolgirls, Hikaru (red hair), Fuu (blonde/brown hair), and Umi (blue hair) all had field trips to the Tokyo Tower. Suddenly a blinding light flashed and they fell into the world of Cephiro. A little cliché of a beginning, but rest assured this is Clamp, so the journey and the ending will be quite a different ride.In Cephiro, they learn they have been called to help save Princess Emeraude who is "The Pillar" of the world - her strong will keeps everything in balance and keeps chaos at bay. The man who captured her is her former high priest, Zagato. The three girls battle his minions and also must pass tests to aquire the Three Spirits - ancient creatures that bestow the power to don huge magical armor that looks rather like mecha. They also acquire Mokona, a funny little puffball creature with a jewel on his forehead.

Magic Knight Rayearth begins when three junior high school girls hear a voice asking them to save a world called Cephiro. The voice belongs to Princess Emeraude, the Pillar whose will maintains the peace of this magical world where belief is power. But the peace in Cephiro is now threatened as Princess Emeraude is imprisoned and monsters begin to invade the land. With her last bit of strength, the princess summons forth the three girls destined to become the Magic Knights in the hopes of saving her world.

Magic Knight Rayearth series 1 and 2 were the best anime created...ever. It is about 3 junior high school girls, Hikaru( a short, energetic red-head), Umi( a rich girl who has blue hair/eyes), and Fuu( a smart, privileged blonde). They go on a field trip to Tokyo Tower with their schools, and while looking outside, a dazzling light temporarily blinds them, and they suddenly find themselves falling through the air of a strange new planet, Cephiro( which, by the way, is an alternate Earth, hence the third series). They are saved by a huge flying fish, which belongs to Master Mage Clef. Clef( 745 year old!) is Princess Emeraude's(the Pillar of Cephiro) chief sorcerer. He tells them that Emaraude has been captured by Lord Zagoto, her priest( she fell in love with him, which was forbidden, and they ran away together). Clef tells them that in order to savee her, they must become the Legendary Magic Knights. At first, they are reluctant, but, after he teaches Hikaru magic( Flame Arrow), they are attacked by Lord Zagato's mnion, Alcyone. Alcyone was taught by Clef, and uses that magic to turn him to stone. The girls escape, but Alcyone chases them. It is then that Hikaru gathers enough strenght to use her magic. It turns out to be a very powerful spell, and is able to defeat Alcyone. The gils esape to the Forest of Silence( you can't use magic there), and meet Presea( a master craftswoman) and Mokona( a mysterious white ball of fur, that can produce just about anything from the jem on its forehead). Presea tells them that they need to find a rare element called escudo for their weapons( they need to find the Spring of Eternia, first). Mokona goes with them as a guide, and they soon fight and defeat monsters using weapons they borrowed. After defeating a particularly difficult water monster, they find the lake. After they dive in, they are seperated, and encounter the ones they love the most( for Hikaru, it's her dog; for Umi, its her parents; and for Fuu it's herself)( this is an illusion that the lake has created). They realize that their loved ones would not hurt them, and the illusion disappears, replaced by escudo. The girls are reunited, and are soon outside. Ferio, a boy they meet in the Forest of Silence, leaves them, giving Fuu a "wish machine"( it is really a recording device given to him by his sister( Princess Emeraude), and he has the other one). Presea is killed after making their weapons( by Lord Zagato's minion's monsters), and the Magic Knights begin their quest. Anyway, to make a very long story short, they grow closer together, learn new spells, defeat new enemies, maake new friends, and, ultimately, defeat Lord Zagoto and Princess Emeraude, he true treat to Cephiro. Hikaru and the others return home deeply troubled, which sets the scene for the next series. The girls return to Tokyo Tower, and another flash takes them back to a crumbling Cephiro( the Pillar kept Cephiro beautiful with her prayers). They see Clef, and ask why they were summoned. He doesn't know, because only the Pillar can summon the Magic Knights. They once again become the Magic Knights, when 3 different planets send people to become the Pillar of Cephiro. After becoming kidnapped, terrorized by Nova( a girl born from Hikaru's feelings of grief and guilt), and convincing all but one planet to leave Cephiro, Eagle( leader of the planet Autozam) and Hikaru enter a room that determines who the Pillar will be( unworthy candidates are killed). They are not killed, however, meaning that one of them was the Pillar. After another violent encounter with Nova, Lady Debonair( an evil monster powered by the fear in people's hearts) attacks them, killing Eagle. Enraged, Hikaru gathers up enough strenght to defeat Debonair. As you could have guessed, Hikaru is the Pillar, and as such, establishes that the people of Cephiro be responsible for its well-being. They then return home, this time with no regrets. Magic Knight Rayearth also has really cool music, and you can check it out at About.com:http://www.geocities.com/hikaru_angel.com
