Record of Lodoss War's original OVA series has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. This 13-episode fantasy epic, animated by the renowned Madhouse, transports viewers to a world of swords, sorcery, and warring gods.
The series plunges into the continent of Lodoss, following the adventures of the warrior Parn and his companions as they battle an encroaching darkness led by the sorceress Karla. It's a foundational work in anime fantasy, often compared to Western tabletop RPGs for its intricate world-building and classic quest narrative.
While a sequel series, Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, exists, this OVA is a self-contained story that stands as a significant entry in the genre. Its availability marks a chance for long-time fans to revisit the series and for newcomers to experience a cornerstone of 90s anime fantasy.
