I really wanna see it really bad who's the guy on there with the silver hair? He's Hott!!! :wub: :^_^: :P
The Silver Haired one is Sesame, the Leafe Knight of Sound. In the Anime, he has a job as a radio DJ in the Human World.
Hayate, the hot one, is mine, and he (currently, anyway) holds a job at the Awayuki residence, helping Hemino's dad. In DVD 1 when he gets the job, Hemino's reaction is hilarious. Also, at the end, you find out a little "well DUH secret" about Hayate.
Then, there is Kei, the Knight of Light, he's a vid game/web designer (depends on who you ask. as for the anime, Sesame says vid game creator $$$$ there's some MONEY!! XD HAHA!!)
Then, Goh, Knight of Fire - he works as a waiter at a resteraunt.
Then Mannen, Knight of Ice, he's too young to work legally, but he pounces around, bothering the other knights.
Hajime - Knight of Water, younger than Mannen but follows him around like the eager young brother he is.
Lastly, there is Shin, the youngest and cutest (if you like kids - i don't) Shin is the Leafe Knight of Earth/ Plants. He looks like a toddler.
There they are. The Seven Leafe Knights from Leafenia. ^ - ^!!
I just recieved DVD 1 as a present from my friend who knew that i was in love with it from the Preview i had seen and since i couldn't afford it at the time, she bought it for me. I can't wait to get my hands on DVD 2. I'll have to do some digging though before i can find the cheapest price. SunCoast in Alabama, however had it for $30.00. I'm still fishing. Thirty bucks is a lot to pay for just four episodes per disk!! I loves Pretear b/c of the CGs. I'm going to school this fall to learn how to make some on my own. ^ _ ^!! I hope i learn fast enough!!! I want to be able to match those guys stroke by stroke w/o using cheats!! They're my Idols!!!

Plot
Spoiler warning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spoiler_warning): Plot and/or ending details follow.
Prétear is about a girl named Himeno Awayuki who aims to live a happy life especially after the death of her mother. Himeno meets Hayate, and eventually discovers that he is one Leafe Knight (pronounced 'leef-ay') in a group of seven. The group consists of Hayate (Knight of Wind), Sasame (Knight of Sound), Goh (Knight of Fire), Kei (Knight of Light), Mannen (Knight of Ice), Hajime (Knight of Water), and Shin (Knight of Plants). The knights explain that Takako, the 'Princess of Calamity', or 'Princess of Disaster' in the ADV translations, escaped and sent demon larvae to Himeno's town, and that the Leafe, which the larvae are absorbing, is the energy for all life itself. The only way to destroy the demons is for Himeno to become the Prétear and fight them alongside the Leafe Knights.

Tyipi ({{{2}}}, Tyipi) Tyipi is a kind of bird found in Leafania, and the only sort of animal we see in either the manga or anime. They seem to be most attracted to Shin, the Knight of Plants- we don't know why. In the opening anime theme a tyipi flies towards Hayate. Manga description: One of the creatures of Leafania. Most Tyipi are pink, but there are many colour variations like red, blue, and yellow. The rainbow colour, gold and white tyipi are rare. They love black tea, and it has the same effect on them as catnip does on cats.
