Record of Lodoss War - The Complete Series (Collector's Edition) | Directed: - Akio Sakai Good, _I_ liked it Well, I probably won't add much to what has already been said, but here goes: Record of Lodoss War is just 'good' Anime, meaning it's enjoyable, without any major faults, with decent story, decent animation, in general something that, while not the best of the best, surely isn't average. What makes it more than average is the characters (both animation and their portrayal), especially Parn and Deedlit. Some may complain that Parn's a wimp who anyone can beat, but I liked that he doesn't immediatedly turn into an invincible superhero. This series had me smiling, gasping in excitement to see what happens. I watched it all in one go, although before I never had even read the manga or seen one episode. There's of course some minor things, a pixellated scene here, low audio there, a plot device not fully worked out, but that's all minor things. The thing is, this series is something for anyone who enjoys a good clash between good and evil and where the hero gets the heroine in the end, especially if you like heroic fantasy. Something about the packaging. It comes in a sturdy cardboard box with the 2 dvds in cardboard/plastic cases, not sure of the name. But I wish they'd used standard dvd keepcases instead, because they're much sturdier. Still, they're nearly the same size, I just keep them in the box. The art on the box is about what you expect, scenes from the series, but the quality is so-so. Nothing to scoff at, but certainly not something to commend :). Then again, you don't buy the series for the box and 50 bucks is a bargain. Enjoy, Great Anime Series, A Must for Anime Fans This is one of two Lodoss War boxed sets. This is the OVA series, which consists of 13 episodes. This DVD set is much more reasonable price and size wise than the original VHS boxed set. Story wise, the two Lodoss series are wonderful (though I can't say as much for the odd Crystania offshoot series). If you like Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, or Dragon Warrior and the like, I'm sure you'll enjoy this series, with it's incorporation of magic, elves, dwarves, humans, dragons, and other fantasy elements. This is one of the best anime series I've seen. If you liked this OVA, check out the 4 DVD TV series. Love it! Best anime I've seen yet. I'm a big fan of fantasy, and this was simply awesome. My one complaint, and it's minor, is that the animations for the ancient dragons was less than stellar. But it's a great story, with well-developed characters. All I can say is this: Get it.
