Elemental Gelade (Japanese: エレメンタルジェレイド, Hepburn: Erementaru Jereido, also translated as "Erementar Gerad") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mayumi Azuma. The fantasy adventure is a tale of a group of five who are on a journey to Edel Garden, the birthplace of mystical beings called Edel Raids who are described as "living weapons".
The manga series has been adapted into an anime television series produced by Xebec, two light novels, two video games, one for the PlayStation 2 and another for the Game Boy Advance, and four drama CDs. The anime ended after 26 episodes. The manga ended in 2009.
Prior to the original broadcast of the anime on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2005, both the manga and anime had been licensed by Tokyopop and Geneon Entertainment, respectively, for North American distribution. The announcement was made even after ADV announced they acquired licensing rights for both manga and anime a year before.[1][2] Discotek Media rescued the series for a SDBD release on December 18, 2018.
