The Japanese TV, like U.S., prohibits showing of nipples or explicit sexual shot (ie panties, and crouches). So while they are on TV there are usually heavy censors and it's up to the anime staff to make it look natural or not. You have to wait until DVD/BD releases (or rips) to see the whole thing. You can find it on net once everything is released or purchase them if they comes to stateside.

As for El-Hazard, I'm assuming the synopsis you read was for The Alternative World, if that's the case don't worry about it, the marriage was between 2 supporting characters not the main characters.

Just keep in mind that there are 2 continuities in that series. One for OVAs (2 series + a 1-cour TV series).

This one starts with 7 episode OVA subtitled, The Magnificent World, followed by 4-episode in The Magnificent World 2 and finally the 1-cour (12 episode) TV series subtitled The Alternative World.

The other Continuity is the 26 episode TV series dubbed The Wanderers. Overall, the OVA story is better, but Wanderers is more lighthearted and not as rushed story-wise. Each have it's own strength and weaknesses that you should enjoy and both should have Zeor no Tsukaima feel to it, heck this and Magic Knight Rayearth are the first 2 real classic of alternate reality-traveler genre.
