This is my only cel from the Battle
Athletes OAVs. While the OAVs weren't horrible, I didn't find
them to have anything like the depth of character and meaning of the
TV series. So, why is my one Lahrri cel an OAV cel? Well, um...she's
prettier in the OAVs, and I just happened to run into this cel and
liked it. :-) I'm sure I'll pick up some TV Lahrri someday, but so
far I haven't found one that seemed just right.
Anyway...I'm going to go ahead and talk about Lahrri from the TV
series, because this is my gallery and I can write about whatever
I darned well please. (Though probably no one is reading this.) :-)
Lahrri and Mylandah strike me in some
ways as being a darker version of Jessie and Ayla. One of the pair
is strong on the surface but brittle underneath, the other is
unemotionally focused on winning. Unfortunately, where Ayla had
her coach Sergei Garenstein to suggest to her that there was more
to sports than winning, Lahrri had Mr. Miracle telling her that
the only way to win was to forget about her friends and everything
else. Only in mutual defeat were Lahrri and Mylandah able to
rethink things and realize the importance of friendship. (I was
very amused by their love/hate relationship from that point on.) :-)
