Legend of Lemnear: Kyokuguro no Tsubasa Valkisas

One’s liminal ears at the precipice of lemony tears, soured by the duress and distress of all that you hear could only match a crumb of the heartache from the mythopoetic soul that resides in Lemnear. Should sword and sorcery offer a companion piece from a land in the East, this would be most welcome a feast in the midst of past contemporaries deceased. And that it does in its dealings with life and death, truly its effervescence springs forward past its grave leaving none bereft.

In the bosom of Indo-European tradition, our heroine embarks a journey through perdition to rescue her sacred kin, and ... in solace by the end, leaving none chagrin. For in the heart of darkness to overcome spirits resided far too long in the shade, one must be their own light thus that their own will shan’t be betrayed. Yet this light is carried not merely throughout her mortal coil, but into my own earthly toil. As an accompanying presence befitting of her effervescence, this glimmer shines through most soft and tender, in ways which could only beckon sweet surrender. Such concession calls forth faith in an ancient quest which in guise appears only to lie in her breast, but a lamb’s wool doth not make a mere sheath for its delicate form; it nurtures distant life to keep them snug and warm.

Many can share her primordial animosity against the tyranny of grievous monstrosity, and in burdening the warrior residing in all, we can see our own inner sanctuary as more than a place housing a thrall.

Sword and sorcery fantasy OVA with a healthy dose of nudity and fan-service. Although not the comedy style fan-service that most associate the term with these days, this one's pretty serious. I actually liked it pretty well, even though it doesn't do much to stand out from the pack. Something about these older fantasy anime OVAs/series that I tend to really like. At least there's a heap of action--the entire last third of the film is a big ol' fight--but the animation is cheap and the visuals bland. Even the Japanese acting is bad. But I still loved it.

A low-minded, nudity-strewn, fantasy action fest. ... worth the time for fans of heckling bad action movies.

Hey there! Are you a bored dweeb that scrolls through retro anime OVAs that rank as well as b-movies as I do? Then chances are you've run across this title.

At first glance, it seems like your run-of-the-mill fantasy, so I thought I was about to watch some mediocre fantasy that you could mistake for any other. Though I suppose I was foolish in that with me being someone who likes Satoshi Urushihara's artstyle, but not his way of inserting fanservice so much. Like I'm fine with fanservice, his insertion of it so far just sucks.

Though, big warning, don't go in blind like I did if ... you're sensitive to attempted rape and groping scenes. Certainly wasn't the most welcome of surprises.

Nonetheless, this OVA sticks to the typical fantasy formula I know of with few departures. It's something that is probably fun to watch when you have nothing better to watch, but even then under my circumstances I still got bored halfway through. Some scenes linger for way too long and the sound design can be hit or miss. There are several instances of voices not fitting the lip flaps in the original Japanese version. Not so sure about the dub because I don't wanna rewatch this for that.

Don't go in expecting anything spectacular and if anything has Urushihara's name on it, there's probably at least one drawn out boobie scene.
