If the Scepter of Domination was so important in conquering all of Lodoss, why didn't Beld went after it in the first place? Or maybe he was just uninformed? >_<

It's all part of a conspiracy! Anyhow this was in my opinion one of the better episodes of this OVA. At last the fight had some meaningful meaning in comparison to Parn just yelling and stumbling around and going to fights wherever they appear. And the new guys seem cool, not at all whiny.

Yes, guys that's one huge sliding still image of a freaking dragon... How this disjointed mess of a series gets this high a rating is beyond me. This anime is like some terrible cook got some really great ingredients and then bungled up the cooking process terribly.

7.5 is not really high. Also, you would do well to remember the time period this anime is from. "Still scenes" plague the industry to this day, and they seem to be getting worse as time goes on. At least this anime has beautiful hand painted backgrounds and scenery, unlike anything recent.

Obviously this is better than anything in the past 5 years, but it's no Berserk.

Uninformed is such a poor excuse for this poor storytelling haha.

Yep its either bad writing or Wagnard is deceiving Ashram because he needs the scepter for himself to summon the goddess of destruction. One of the two, guess I'll find out as I continue on.

After his evil laugh are you in any doubt which it is?

It's still a bit unclear to me how much time has passed between all the event so far.

I was wondering when the elves would battle. I hope they're able to again and it'll be a more fair one-on-one!

The details on that dragon were rad!~

Golly, so they didn't forget about Wood, but he's under control right now. *Le sigh*

so this Scepter of Domination will make someone control all of Lodoss eh
but the Scepter of Domination is protected by that Red Dragon

also the evil wizard wants to sacrifice Deedlit a High Elf to resurrect the Goddess of Destruction called Kardis eh

Main group seems weirdly unconcerned and unalarmed by what happened to Woodchuck.

The death of Ghim is significant but a bit predictable and it left me with a bitter taste that was alleviated, though, by the amazing Takayama Minami as Shiris. This last character is the most emotive and intriguing when it comes to how she appears, moves, is drawn and thought.

Ashram is one of the worst villains ever. Literally everything you need to know about him can be gleaned from his appearance. Even Wagnard has something going on in his head in the form of his ambitious and maniacal fascination with Shooting Star — which is more than can be said for Ashram, who has as much personality as a rock with a mean face painted on it.

all the olde characters but a hell of a lot of new plot developments, dare say an entire new set of plots
and the highlights of it all being some sweet sweet Deed leg action and elf-on-elf action featuring the redhead and the badass ^_^ glad they're on the team!
everybody wants to rule the world! er... Lodoss

Okay I just have to complain about how Parn's character development they're trying to do here.

King Kashue already complained about his headstrong, aggressive nature before. He learned nothing and it still helped them defeat Karla.

Then Kashue tells him it was his "hesitance" that was the issue. What kind of contradiction is that? Maybe it's some nuance of Japanese but I doubt it.

Parn really comes off as the do-no-wrong wunderkind that needs to learn nothing and will still succeed. Insufferable.

A good screenwriter would have used the moment of Shiris telling Parn to hold back to emphasize the point of his impulsive actions causing havoc but there just seems to be a lack of care in making this whole thing cohere together. It's a shame because I felt the character-building at the start was very smart and efficient.

This is probably my 4th time watching through Lodoss, and it's one of the few that I've rewatched so many times. This episode comes after one conflict resolved, but another is beginning. Deedlit continues to be my favourite character in the series. While the animation isn't great, the art and character designs are perfect for this series. And I love the opening and ending themes. They have that fantasy feeling.
