I’ve just finished posting my last Recommendation over on my Substack page. Today, we’re taking a look at Record of Lodoss War.
Reading this post, you’re probably going notice why I think Lodoss War is important…
Not to belabour the point, Lodoss War is one of the most Fantasy-y Fantasy animes ever produced.
There’s everything you’d expect from a sprawling, High Fantasy adventure: a party of heroic adventurers (gee, why does that sound familiar?) led by a virtuous but not very interesting hero (why does that sound familiar?), a good king, an evil king, his less-evil but significantly more effective and impressive second-in-command (whose girlfriend is pretty much Evil Deedlit), Dragons, Elves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, magic swords, evil gods, epic battle scenes — all the good stuff that makes the Fantasy genre the only genre worth caring about.
