    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Episodes 1-8 of this series are based on original novel #1 of Record of Lodoss War by Ryo Mizuno, called "The Grey Witch". There are also manga and graphic novels by the same title based on this original novel available from CPM Manga. Episodes 9-13 are loosely based on the original novels #3,4,6,7 in the Lodoss War series. The story developed in these last episodes is unique to this animated series from the original story Mr. Mizuno developed. The later animated series "Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight" follows the original novels and "corrects the record" starting after the end of episode 8 of this series.

Creators of all things, become a shield to protect me. Great protectors, do not allow those who would destroy your great works to do their bidding in this sacred place. Use me as your weapon against this evil.

    Peak 90s fantasy anime

    The creator of this wonderful anime also created "record of grancrest war" aka "grancrest senki," a personal favorite of mine, possibly my #1.

    This anime holds up even until today. I've yet to watch the sequel season, but this ova is just fantastic. I can't sing it's praises any higher. Swords, dragons, magic, elves, dark elves, dwarves, and even a BERSERKER, one of the most intense scenes of the show. I give it a definite 3 thumbs way up 👍👍👍. This anime along with "grancrest senki" were created through table top role playing and world building. So you know it's authentic storytelling here, and nonstop fun.

    If you love anime, fantasy, the 90s, you'll love this. Sub or dub take your pic. Just watch it. It's really good.
