Created by Ryo Mizuno (RECORD OF LODOSS WAR), the well-pedigreed anime television series RUNE SOLDIER injects a playful war between the sexes into its irreverent fantasy-comedy hybrid. Three superpowered women--martial artist Genie, priestess Melissa, and master thief Merrill--make their living raiding treasures from ancient ruins. When the trio set their sights on a ruin guarded by a magic seal, they decide to hire an experienced female magician but end up with a clumsy male novice named Louie. Saddled with this inept newcomer, the newly minted quartet embark on treasure-seeking adventures that dip into slapstick territory without losing any of their fantastical elements. Funny and action-packed, the anime series is presented in its entirety with this 24-episode collection.

They set out to hire a magician, but all the magicians they meet prefer ereading to raiding-except Louie, a brash novice who seems to do better with his fists than his spells!
