So I hear from a guy whom I won't name (a certain video game reviewer that /v/ hates) that despises most anime who happens to love Lodoss War. So I must ask, what does /a/ think of this series?

It's an old series, it's ridden with fantasy chliches, sometimes it's badly animated, sometimes it looks great. If you want some oldschool fantasy, watch it.

It being badly animated at times doesn't shock me considering the time it came out.
>>149402178
Fuck off, crossboarding e-celeb retard.
TV series are shit, the OVAs are great. Stick with the latter.
I remember the pacing was slow at times. Generic like someone took D&D and made a kid's book about a party fighting an evil witch and army.
But you don't get much like it these days, so it's not totally boring. It has some oldschool adventuring charm. Back when fantasy influence wasn't MMORPGs.

I didn't even name him, bitch.

Not OP but are there any other series that are like what you just described butare actually good?
Didn't watch that much fantasy so I have no idea what to watch
>>149402790
It is actually based on a D&D campaign that the author of the novels ran. Of course, the campaign was a little different. Like Deedlit was played by a dude, who looted Parn's corpse after he died.
Loved the OVA. In my 3x3.

Too bad this attack did barely anything.

I find it funny that the first episode is the only one where they really do generic dungeon delving. The rest focuses on the titular war and has the party split apart.
Even if the animation is slideshow-tier a lot of the backgrounds and still shots are great. The character designs and detail really are something.
>>149403628
At least he hung on for 8 seconds.
>>149403662
Yeah, even though it didn't have the budget to maintain its animation, it at least had the decency to maintain its art.
Pity the TV series didn't even manage that.
>>149402296
>it's ridden with fantasy chliches
Well yeah, it's literally a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
>>149402178
It's DnD: The Anime.
No, seriously, the light novels it's based off of were taken from DnD campaigns the author and his friends ran.
That said, it's not terrible. I didn't really like the Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, but I really like Oichi Yoshikiko's art for the manga of the Grey Witch arc.
>>149403423
There's a lot of older anime that's just straight up fantasy instead of the whole MMO or "jackass falls into a fantasy world" shit. Slayers jumps right to mind.
>>149403781
Still best elf.
>>149403895
You posted wrong elf. Let me help you with that.

Half Elves are fine too.

Excuse me, but make way for the real man, who did the actual wizard defeating.

It is the Japanese adaptation of Dungeons and Dragons, which paved way for many Japanese made western fantasy visual works including games in the 90s.
