Shadow of the Elves: From Germany comes this animation brought straight to DVD here in the States thanks to the folks over at Genius Entertainment. This is the first three episodes and I do not know if other volumes are planned and how many more episodes exist.

The show is about a village of fairies who come under attack by the neighboring group of elves. As is the case with such things we find that the commander of the elven army, Daiman, falls for one of the fairy girls named Thalia. This plays out completely predictable and I found myself being bored with the story at times.

The animation is not bad with the character designs being above average. The elves and fairies are pretty much as you'd expect them with Thalia being scantily clad and the elves mostly in battle armor.

The show doesn't break any new ground, but it was on clearance for a dollar and it's well worth that.
