Not every story dips into the darker side of elves, some are great for comedy.

Spanning over 40 years, we take a look at the best Gundam anime series.

As long as the fantasy genre has been a thing, elves have always had a presence.

Kazehaya. Tuxedo Mask, and Okazaki are shown.

Despite their long travels, her true name is never revealed, but she is given the nickname Sui.

Together they bicker and banter, but in reality, Sui has fallen for her traveling companion.

In fact, he doesnt even remember what happened to her at the end of their journey.

This is due to Deedlits backstory and sheltered life within her home, the Forest of No Return.
