Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight
Synopsis
Five years past, a band of six adventurers defeated the conquering armies of Marmo, the dark island, and saved the accused island, LODOSS. Since that day, the survivors have been honored as heroes, and their deeds have become legends. But the darkness never perished… Now, a mad wizard threatens to raise an ancient evil — the goddess of destruction. Old heroes must heed the call to defend their homeland and new heroes are forged as the battle for LODOSS begins anew.
Review
After 5 years since the release of Record of Lodoss War OVA. This TV series was born. Although Parn is featured in this series, he’s not the main character this time.
Spark, a knight in training was sent out to retrieve the Soul Crystal ball, the stolen treasure of Flaim.
As he is on his journey with his team, the daughter of Slayn and Leylia, Neese was following them. She is the doorway to resurrecting Kardis the Destroyer. A lot goes on and more of Neese’s background is revealed.
Wagnard the Dark Wizard’s intentions were also shown. He wants to resurrect Kardis the Destroyer so that he can be a Necromancer and forever be the king of the dead Lodoss.
ROLW still kept that RPG formula. Action to story development and to action.
In this series, I really got what ROLW is about. When I saw the OVA series, I didn’t know what was going on. In conclusion, I enjoyed this series very much, and have my friend that lend me the box set to thank ^_^.
