Ozanari Dungeon: Kaze no Tou

Well, i,m honored to fill up ´another´ empty review page, and this time its about one of those ova´s that is IMPOSSIBLE to collect on dvd,hardly wellknown to maybe a select few and stands somewhat on its own.
At first the story itself is based on rpg elements of oldskool platform fantasy videogames like Wataru, Record of lodoss war,Ys, Far East of eden and more.As for the art, for the time it looked nice and very colourfull, a bit chibi like if u want , bit goofy but funny enought to enjoy it, even for the few villians it has for 1991 it seemed ... the handdrawn animation loosened some of the bad 80´s habit other ova´s and serie´s had.
I din´t paticulary putted that much attention to the music though it was funny to listen at some part´s, like then a treasure chest of a magical relic got unsealed, or a saving throw.
The cooperation between a speechless fox like spellcaster Kiriman, a hotheaded amazonewarrior Moka( female warrior) and a Raccoonlike scaredy cat thief called Buruman to get a magical item named Dragons Head,it sooo damn funny that it has those You f88ked it up moments, things go right, but more things go very wrong, that makes at least some charachters memorable.
Throughout the ovs´s that was childish in a positive way, and colourfull animation, it is enjoyable for a good night laughing with some beer and crisps or just watching it with younger audience that can put up with oldskool animation. in a way i laughed hard

Its a very good anime. For 3 episodes and each episode with around 18 mins worth story its very nice. The protagonist is sort of stupid and the entire story is short and enjoyable. The rest of the characters are also very comic. The story is very simple and doesn't require you to think a lot, don't be fooled by the poster image. There is no political or any thinking aspect to this. Its short, comic and enjoyable.

Filler material:

Given the time this anime was released its well made. I am not sure what else to write, unless I write more I can't submit and there ... is not really a lot more I can write about this anime. If some review moderator is reading this can you please fix it, for a very simple 3 episode anime I can't write anything much more.

There is nothing quite like this show, and stumbling across it as I did through a typing mistake on a rainy summer night, the show immersed me in a way I had not ever experienced before.

The Setting of Ozanari Dungeon is not a wholly unique one, but it feels so fresh compared to others in it's genre, perhaps because it came out within the era of grand fantasy and the advent of roleplay games, from which it draws greatly. It is compelling, with a feeling of humanity in a world that is far greater than that which we see, the bumbling characters comedic and likeable ... lend the setting of the anime a sense of extra grandeur, in a way it is hard to describe. It is almost as if seeing the world through the lens of someone who does not fully understand it, and thus capturing the feeling of wonder and excitement therein.

It is undoubtably a comedic show, but you can get more from Ozanari dungeon than a couple of cheap laughs. It is indeed a shame that this did not get any more episodes.
