description Orphen Overview
Six years ago at the magic school known as the Tower of Fang, a grave accident happened involving the magical sword Baltanders and the magic user Azalie. Unable to control the sword's power, Azalie was transformed into the shape of a great dragon who since that day became known as Bloody August. Krilancelo, a young magician at the Tower who cared greatly for Azalie found much to his disgust that the elders of the Tower of Fang were less than willing to save Azalie and wanted rather to pretend the accident never happened. Angered by their stand, Krilanceloa swore that he would find a way to return Azalie to her former self.

What happened to Azalie in Orphen?
At the Tower of Fang, an experiment involving the magical sword Baltanders went wrong and transformed Azalie into a dragon-like being.

Is this the 1998 Orphen series or the 2020 remake?
The original TV anime was produced by J.C.STAFF and aired 24 episodes from 1998 to 1999. The 2020 remake was produced by Studio Deen, so the year and studio distinguish the two versions. [Sorcerous Stabber Orphen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcerous_Stabber_Orphen)
What comes after the original Orphen series?
The direct follow-up is Sorcerous Stabber Orphen 2: Revenge, another J.C.STAFF series with 23 episodes that aired from 1999 to 2000. The 2020 Studio Deen version is a separate remake, not that original continuation. [Sorcerous Stabber Orphen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcerous_Stabber_Orphen)
