Summary: Finally...a strong fantasy anime series
Review: This has to be a must for all anime fans. The story is very involving and the pace really picks up on disc two. It's hard to find a great fantasy/RPG anime series - and it's extremely hard to find it on DVD. With a good, exciting plot, good characters, and great voice acting (I love Deedlit), this series should already be in your collection. Parn, the hero of the series (as well as the '98 Chronicles series) is interesting enough as it is...forget everyone else for a moment. It continues on and, unlike DBZ or (ugh!) Sailor Moon, the characters don't all look the same with just different hair/eyes. Go out and get this...you won't be disappointed.

Summary: The best medieval fantasy anime ever
Review: Record of Lodoss War is just that - the best fantasy anime ever. It is set on the now very classic medieval world made popular Donjons & Dragons. I found the story to be boring at first, but the fun begins after Episode 7! The graphics, music and sounds are all excellent. Record of Lodoss War is a must-see for any anime or fantasy fan. Excellent serie. I would have given it a four stars and a half but I can't so I give four stars. It is really worth the money it costs.

Summary: Lodoss rocks
Review: Im just happy I found this particular series on DVD, in the whole complete series. Being a follower of all things animated for many years (Im still waiting for transformers the movie on DVD) finding a gem like this on DVD makes me happy. Record of the lodoss war to me is along the lines of Heric Legend of Arislna and several other series that take place in the days of swords, dragons and magic as opposed to the cyber anime that seems to be so much more popular. having grown up reading lord of the rings and the hobbit, its just plain nice to know there are series like this that are well done, and worth the money to get on DVD, as a whole series nontheless. THank you amazon!@

Summary: A fine example of fantasy anime
Review: Record of Lodoss War is the prequel to the recently released Crystania which recieved mixed reviews. Thankfully the original thirteen episodes are well produced and remain a series with an interesting plot and well developed characters. The animation isn't up to the standard of Manga, although it is certainly watchable especially in the DVD format. The series is perhaps best thought of as Dungeons & Dragons on video. There are plenty of exotic monsters and the episodes keep the exitement factor high. With the fantasy anime market not being as overcrowded as the cyber-punk genre, the Record of Lodoss war is an example of anime as it should be. The voice acting is fair and the dialogue is adequately translated. Overall it makes for a good purchase given that all 13 episodes are now available as one.

Summary: Enchanting
Review: Record Lodoss War seems to have been taken right from a fantasy novel. Dragons, wizards, knights, and monsters all exist within the story of Lodoss War. Although not that original, the story is good and will keep you watching until the end. I found that the music was espeically well done and even haunting. Symphonic tracks and great intro and ending music are all well done and engrossing. In fact, I went out and bought the soundtrack (a very rare soundtrack). Alas, Lodoss war is a title where the art is well done, the animation great, but the screenplay a bit lacking. I suppose they wanted to save time so they limited the amount of animation they had to do. The result is lots of close ups and other animation-short-cuts in action sequences. But this is but a minor complaint in an otherwise great series. If you like fantasy, D&D, or are an anime fan who wants a change of pace from the typical mechs and giant robot fare, this is a great series to get into.

Summary: Loddess War
Review: I LOVE epics like this. This is a great series if you watch it at a club sorta thing. In one sitting. Oh gees, nap city for me. But if you want a good story with alot of strange elements and characters you love to hate (few of the villians are like that), this is it. Though I'm not sure about the last episode...still trying to decide, but I won't spoil it.

Summary: A Wonderful Fantasy Anime
Review: Personally, I cannot see what people have against this series - it's a great fantasy based anime, with likable characters and a good story. This is how Rankin/Bass' JRR Tolkein cartoons *should* have been done! Yes, towards the end of the series, one can see where they were running out of money. Episodes 9-13 are afflicted with lots of single-cel "brush" animation, where the un-animated cel is just moved around. However, even this is done well... too bad that it has to happen, this sort of thing is one of the problems that gives anime a bad rap in this country. Anyway, I recommend this anime to anyone who likes a fantasy setting, a quest-based story, and engaging characters.

Summary: Don't blink or you will miss everything
Review: I first heard a lot about this series from friends who said they loved it. I bought on of the first volumes on vhs and was not all that interested. Then I just purchased Record of Loddos War Chronicle of the Heroic Knight. Heroic Knight happens five years after the original story of the Loddos War. I then began to wonder how the original charcters got started and how things ended and why they began in this new sereis. So I broke down and bought this Dvd collection. I loved the story because it awnsers all of my questions that I had. I might not have gotten this dvd if it was not for the televison series that just was released. The tone of this anime is really dark and horrifying. People are slaughtered and kingdoms are overrun with goblins and dragons. This fantasy story is definately not for those looking for a bright and feel good anime. This anime has very interesting charcters that just stepped out of their role playing game. I think that this anime dvd is good for those like dragons and role playing games or those who just enjoy a good romance and fantasy story.

Summary: Love fantasy? You will Love this...
Review: First and foremost, if you love fantasy, you will love this anime. The first episode is slightly confusing, but after getting through it, it all comes together. I'm just upset because I bought the DVD set elsewhere and ended up paying at least $15 more.<bangs head> Rent or buy, you'll enjoy the Record of the Lodoss War. ;) at
