    The world needs another Record of Lodoss War OVA series. Peak animation, peak styling, just pure awesome bundled into a few episodes. Was it accurate to the source material? Yeah, for the source material they had (anime was made before the series finished so they had to invent the ending). But it felt fun. It felt like a genuine adventure. It was captivating.

    I haven’t had the same feeling from high anime fantasy, and I have watched a lot of it since.
