Synopsis

Created from the aftermath of the last great battle of the gods, Lodoss and its kingdoms have been plagued by war for thousands of years. As a quiet peace and unity finally become foreseeable over the land, an unknown evil begins to stir. An ancient witch has awakened, bent on preserving the island of Lodoss by creating political unbalance throughout the many kingdoms and keeping any one from maintaining central control. Only a mixed-race party of six young champions, led by the young warrior Parn, stand between this new threat and Lodoss' decent back into the darkness of war and destruction.

Like ROLW, Escaflowne is a fantasy series with music by Yoko Kanno. However, Escaflowne has more interesting characters (imo), a better thought out setting and intriguing storyline.

This is the sequel to the OVA series, which takes place in the same place -- the cursed island of Lodoss -- several years after the original. Although it focuses mostly on a new group of warriors (led by Spark, rather than Parn), the main cast of the OVA and manga appear from time to time as well. Overall, the animation quality is bumped up a great deal. The producers had a larger budget this time, and it shows. The story is fairly similar, in that a young warrior and his companions overcome a great evil, with action and plotting taking front and center. For a fan of the original, this is a must-see. For fans of high fantasy, in a D&D-like setting, this is also an excellent show.

Of all the Anime series that I have viewed, Record of Lodoss War holds a special place in my heart. If you happen to be fond of fantasy adventure videogames as I am (or great literature such as J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings), then this 13-episode video series is a very clever hybrid of these two great works of art. It's got everything fans could ask for--dragons, elves, dark gods, unlikely yet compelling heroes, villains you'll either hate (or love, depending on who you side w... read more

Story:

Overall though this was a good OVA. However, the Story is very scattered and doesn't have proper closure. The completest in me tells me I have to at least see the TV series that follows. I haven't had any luck finding it, however. This anime has a special place in my heart due to the nostalgia factor. I only hope that the TV series that follows this up somehow gives better closure. And one minor gripe, I think all of us understood the backstory of Lodoss by the 3rd episode ... read more

Segundo a lenda, há muito tempo aconteceu uma terrível batalha no continente de Alecrast entre dois deuses poderosos, Falis (Deus da Luz) e Falaris (Deus da Escuridão). Uma luta que parecia não ter fim, arrastando com eles outros deuses, até restarem apenas outras duas deusas que se enfrentaram em batalha: Kardis (Deusa da Destruição) e Marfa (Deusa da Criação). Kardis, que lutava com o deus da escuridão, foi derrotada e amald... read more
