Description:
Based on a video game, Ys had been adapted to two anime OAVs, a manga, novels, and a role-playing game over the years. Young traveler Adol Christin is determined to visit Esteria. Once a prosperous, happy land, Esteria has been invaded by monsters: wolves, ghouls, demons, skeletons, and what appear to be mobile tree trunks. On his arrival, Adol is hailed as the Brave Soul of legend who will restore the realm to its former glory. He must first collect the Six Books of Ys, and by the end of the fourth episode, he's gotten volumes 1 through 3. But he has yet to meet the evil lord Dark Fact. Ys was originally released in 1989, but the stiff character designs, very limited animation, stolid pacing, and numerous Morris-the-Explainer scenes make it feel like a throwback to an earlier era of anime. (Rated 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
