The creative circle CLAMP serialized the Magic Knight Rayearth manga in Kodansha<\/a>‘s Nakayoshi<\/a> magazine from 1993 to 1996 with six volumes. The manga inspired two television anime seasons, the first running from October 1994 to March 1995, and the second season, titled Magic Knight Rayearth 2<\/a>, running from April to November 1995. The manga also inspired a three-episode 1997 original video anime project simply titled Rayearth<\/a>, featuring an alternate retelling of the story.<\/p>\n

Media Blasters<\/a> first released the television anime on VHS and DVD in the United States. Discotek Media<\/a> licensed<\/a> the anime in 2014, and released it as a complete collection on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in 2017. (The release did not include the Rayearth OVA<\/a> series.) <\/p>\n
