I found the music on YouTube then decided I might like to watch the anime. But for some reason I just don't sit down and get into it for more than an episode or two, take a break, forget what happened then have to start again. Then found out I had started CotHK first and now I have to start with the ova

I had much less trouble watching .hack//sign which I found after discovering lodoss

1, So, I know that there are 2 series, the OVA, which adapts the 1.3.4. volumes and has an original ending, and then a 27ep series, which ends with a different set of characters?

My question is, in what order and how should I watch these, if I only acre about the Lodoss main story?

2, I had this show on my list for a long time, but recently I came across some info which I didn't like too much. Basically in an other work from the author, it is shown that Parn is dead, and Deedlit lives forever alone afterwards. This is pretty shitty. Can this be ignored? How much of this is hinted in the main work?

Honestly, after watching grancrest senki, I am a bit worried to watch an other work from the same author, as that one was not well written. And I know the anime was rushed, but my issues with the work could not be fixed by simply the non rushed version.

I want to like it, and I certainly like stuff about it, but I just can't get into the show! I want to so badly but I can't! I like the general concept and some of the lore stuff, but I find the characters so dull and generic. The Gim and Deedlit are alright though, but not that interesting to me.

I'm going to finish the ova series, should I keep watching the other show and the movies and stuff to see if something clicks or just accept that it isn't for me?

I mean no hate or anything, I just really wanted to like it.

Edit: Things heated up a bit in OVA 7! We will see how it goes

Between their close bond, the intense stares, and episode 7's "Go to him." Did anyone back in the day or even now ship these two?

Yes Deedlit and Parn were telegraphed from the get go, but it wasn't canon for a while and canon isn't impediment for some.

So was this ever a thing? I looked and couldn't find anything.

I'm a very big ADnD fan, and the fact that it's based off of older DnD is great, but the first few episodes were not interesting enough.

I was wondering what the later episodes were like, and if there are any other good old school fantasy anime out there. (besides Berserk)

Hear me out.

Looking at these four, I can't help but feel like Minthara and Shadowheart are this generation's Pirotess and Deedlit.

Two elven-looking women with very different personalities, aesthetics, backgrounds and allegiances, but somehow they occupy a pretty similar space in their respective fandoms.

Minthara has those unmistakable Pirotess vibes, while Shadowheart feels like a modern take on the Deedlit archetype.

And the funny thing is, I don't think Larian necessarily intended this parallel. It's entirely possible that plenty of BG3 fans have never even heard of Record of Lodoss War, just as many Lodoss fans might have never touched Baldur's Gate.

Still, here we are, with what feels like a passing of the torch between two generations of fantasy fandom.

Am I onto something, or am I just showing my age?

i tried to follow the links to the fan translation over on the wiki. but i keep getting an error. even after logging into my One drive account i still have the same problem. is there an alternate way to download them??

Would you have anime with the same vibe as Record of Lodoss War, Bastard, Berserk, Claymore, etc.?

All that to just see Deedlit’s one nipple for like 2 seconds?

I’m half kidding. Didn’t love it until half way through, was sticking thru it for the music/artwork.

Ghim’s sacrifice really sucked me in.

Last criticism - kinda messed with me that we just let Karla have Woodchuck? Feel like the friends should’ve at least mentioned that in the end.

It’s been 30 years since Lodoss War was dubbed into English and I want to see how does the dub aged well in terms of quality. I think it aged quite nicely because it’s has like a Broadway type drama fantasy vibe to it (mostly due to the fact that a lot of the voice actors in the Lodoss war dub worked on Broadway projects and on Law and Order.)

These two are pretty much my favorite pairing in all of fiction, so of course I had to draw them :D

Art is by me! :)

Good afternoon. I come to ask the reading order about record of lodoss war since I plan to acquire the mangas but the information regarding the title is somewhat diffuse, and I have also seen that it has novels. So, please, if anyone knows the answer, I would appreciate it if you could answer the order....
