That is just sleeping an uneasy sleep in my cd storage... Too many moons have passed from the time that Parn the warrior andthe Elven maiden Deedlith united their fates to defeat that evil goddes. Soon the CD collection will emerge again from the dust and we will see again the story of the ages unfolding.
Trust me, nobody who saw Record of Lodoss War, the original 12 chapter OVA, or the series forgot it. What you really mean is there are generations who never saw it and thus don't know about it, because a lot of younger anime fans don't watch older stuff.
Still to this day have the soundtrack on my writing playlist and hope beyond hope that one day with all of the studios looking back and doing expanded runs this one gets some attention. Arislan similarly but not quite as strongly.
I still remember the bootleg VHS tapes I made in the early 90's using a college classmate's Laser Discs that were straight from Japan. No subs, but what visual feast!
Record of Lodoss War was never forgotten. Younger anime fans may not know of its beauty, but we older fans still adore it. Lord willing, I’ll be able to find the DVD collection at Otakon this year. 😊
It's funny how people think just because an anime is older or not being viewed on RUclips that it's forgotten. To be honest when I think about anime I want to go back and rewatch it's usually the older stuff I grew up on, because they are mostly well done, very memorable complete series or standalones as opposed to what typically gets made these days.
@@Starlesslight I mean it's usually the kids that were born after 9/11 saying stuff like that but they're not whole people anyway so you cant hold it against them
When a 35 year-old anime has better animation quality than most modern shows...something has gone terribly wrong. I miss this style of art and animation. Everything was so vibrant, fluid, and alive.
My grandma has this entire series on VHS tape!! She's part of the reason I became interested in anime, my first anime series being Inuyasha which she also had on DVD. I remember always looking at the box set of this series on her top shelf and being curious of what it was about. She let me borrow it about a decade ago. I watched it and I remember loving it, but I can't rememeber anything that happens in it now. Time for a rewatch, I guess!
I loved Record of Lodoss War was one of the very first anime I watched. Back in the 90s when we had to get VHS stuff imported and fansubbed. It was awesome and worth every penny.
I've seen Record of Lodoss War OVA, Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight TV series, The Legend of Crystania Movie, The Legend of Crystania OVA, Rune Soldier TV series, and played Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth video game. So yeah, I'm a big fan of the best fantasy anime ever made.
Was introduced to it slight mor than 1/2 lifetime ago (I’m 40+) by a friend. Not forgotten but a little dusty & tucked away in my memory treasure chest. Still love the OVA & its theme songs, to tis day. Understood that U might not haf heard about it for so long & only knew recently. But amid the flood of new media drowning every1 & Lodoss War itself providing practically no new material over all these years, YOU, my man, r still pretty lucky to hav this random encounter. Blessing of Marfa be upon you. & may She cleanse Lodoss of its long curse.
I could never forget this series for as long as I live. It's was my gateway series into anime and is my favorite anime of all time. I actually did a panel at the anime convention in my state a few years back about older anime you should watch and I made sure that this was on it. 😁👍
Hell yeah that sounds awesome! I can definitely see how the charm of the series can lead to wanting more of its kind and I think especially the 90s aera of anime was a special time to enjoy!
My brothers friend left his anime collection at my house years ago and my childhood self dove into the world of anime... Record of Lodoss War was the first series I watched and it changed my life, it’s still to this day my favorite... a truly perfect ova from a golden age
Never forgot this classic. Saved up and bought the VHS set in the early-mid 90s as a teen after catching the first 3 episodes on Sci Fi channel. Still love this OVA
Record of Lodoss War and Vision of Escaflowne are Gems that should not only be rewatched every Few Years but also shared with the new Generation of Anime Fans.
I will always remember the first episode of this show I watched. It was with that Berserker character and the animations of him going crazy any time the demon possessing him takes over are insanely good. I rarely see that quality in anything I've watch in recent years.
Old anime looks damn good not to mention the attention to detail and the damage people sustain stay there, in some new anime they get injure badly but they don't show the torn clothes or crack floors
This one is among my favorite animes ever! One of my favorite lines in any cenima genre is "What can kill a dragon, can destroy and army." Love this anime! I'll never forget this anime. It was the 2nd anime I ever watched.
Lodoss is not forgotten at all. It has one of the most dedicated fan bases of them all. Also the TV series has one of the most beautiful intros and songs ever done in anime. You can't go wrong with Maaya Sakamoto.
This is absolutely one of my favorite fantasy animes! It got me into Dungeons and Dragons and so much of my characters I make take inspiration from Lodoss War! First dnd character, my high elf Druid was based on Deedlit!
Anyone who has seen this amazing original OVA series has never forgotten about it. It just hasn't been found or noticed by a lot of current anime or fantasy fans due to it's age. It's one of my all time favourites and I highly encourage everyone who likes fantasy to try it. Great series!
This is probably the first anime that I ever watched. I saw it alongside other older anime that were being aired late at night on the sci-fi channel back in the 90s. I was blown away by it as a kid. I had never seen anything like it. There were Disney fantasy movies, and I had read books in the fantasy genre at the time, but there were no cartoons in America at that time being produced that were nearly as good (Record of Lodoss War even holds up well compared to cartoons made today with CGI). America had a He-Man cartoon but Japan had Record of Lodoss War. I will never forgive the people who make cartoons in America for this injustice.
It must've been amazing to watch it back in the day and to have some sort of nostalgia connected to it. I am glad that you could relive that memories with my video
Record of Lodoss War will always have a place in my hear i remember it air on the sci-fi channel early in the morning when i was a kid like 28 years ago with Gal Force, also Macross... ahh so many memories
Great video! I'm a long time anime fan, and I love discovering new series -- but for the longest time I actually mistakenly mixed this anime up with one I really didn't like which prevented me from giving this a real chance for decades. Finally, I decided to give it another shot a few months ago and was utterly blown away -- I don't think even seasoned anime fans are aware of what a gem this series is.
@@Smightr For sure -- worse still, it epitomizes an era in anime long gone -- it's hard to explain in terms the current anime fan would really understand...which further emphasizes the issue...thanks for posting about it -- the word needs to get out
Nobody who's into fantasy and anime forgot about this. Maaya Sakamoto's Kiseki no Umi opening song lives rent-free in my head, it's fucking mesmerizingly beautiful.
Thank you so much for talking about this anime. The opening AND ending themes, along with the beautiful quality of the animation are the reason this anime is just that damn good.
Man, just because u never heard about it doesnt mean that is forgotten. The title it self even got a new game at those last years. And it is a pretty good metroidvania.
That's true. The main reason I made this video is because I've never heard anyone talk about it and I think that a lot of people in the younger generations have never heard about it and therefore in my opinion it has been left behind even though it is such an important piece of fiction.
I heard that song in the background and a shiver went down my spine, a pleasurable one! It's not a very... animated animation, but the story is good! There's a reason I chose Parn as my name on AnimeMUCK back in 94 :)
Just wanted to say, all the comments seem to be like "it's not forgotten! We all love it". As someone who has actively searched "what are the best anime series" I've never heard of this.
Thank you for sharing and I agree! The whole reason of the video is to get people interested in the anime and I think that a lot of people who did not grow up with it, dont actually know about it.
I'm one of those who have forgotten until mentioned. I love the ED theme and I know there's a recent Steam game with Deedlit as the player. But almost everything else I can't recall. Another one is Heroic Legend of Arslan or something.
The CPM Manga was my very first manga collection. Record of Lodss war was awesome. I remember watching the anime online in terrible quality on media player lol. Had the dreamcast game too. Fond memories.
I don’t think anyone has forgotten the “Record of the Loddoss war” and the very interring sequel “Legend of Crystania” By the way do check out the game “Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth” a lovely bit is work.
After learning that the one hilarious anime that has the sword guy who actually uses magic was set in the same universe as this anime, I was going to give it a shot. I kinda skipped out on watching it, but I'll actually give it an attempt this time.
The only people who have "forgotten" about this anime are the people who are either new to anime or too young. Not really a memory thing. Just people watching isekai trash and shonen garbage.
More like newer fans watch newer anime. They probably know about a dozen 90s series since outside of DBZ, Pokemon, Sailor Moon etc, anime wasn't as widely available and more obscure. If you were to ask people to name 90s anime, you would probably hear a lot of people say the same stuff.
Man This one Rune Soldiers and Slayers are my Favorite Fantasy Anime, it's too bad no makes this kind of thing anymore. The lack of Epic Fantasy is gone.
It feels like there's not a week that goes by that "Records of the Lodoss War" doesn't go through the mind, and I've barely seen it, my brother simply told me about it.
The quality of the anime, the charm of the chara design is simply out of this world. I like it being simple and taking itself seriously but I will say that the fights are underwhelming, especially when the kings end up fighting or Ashram that basically receive two slashes and fall down. It is a world where characters aren't super heroes and close to what a real human would be able to do and that is a bit strange to see but that is also one of the clear point that make this world. The world building is rooted in realism
I really like that approach too! And I definitely stand by the point that you made, characters don't need to be very complex they just need a bit of depth to stay relevant and make them enjoyable!
I love this anime. I remembered about it 4-5 years ago when I was playing DnD with friends online and decided to rebuy it on blu-ray. Thanks for this youtube video. Hopefully this will introduce others to this classic.
I remember this classic, one of the best series to come out in the 90's, this and vision of escaflowne is probably the cream de la cream of anime. On par with ghost in the shell and Akira but being fantasy instead. Its weird to me that younger audience dont watch the older anime from the 90's and 80's this is when anime was at its peak and stories were original and didnt follow any god damn boring formulas that made every anime the same as it is today, vision of escaflowne is one of the first isekais, but back then being an isekai was something original compared to today where it is the norm. Glad you brought up this gem though.
Means a lot! I think the same way, there are way to many 90s anime that get lost in time while newer generations just watch the same stuff over and over again. the originality is kind of beeing lost aswell. I'm thinking about making a video about escaflowne aswell, so I hope that you will check it out aswell!
One of my favorites. I have the CD and should have a fansub somewhere. Been trying to find the official release on a streaming service but they only seem to have later versions.
Watched this back in the summer of 2016. I remember it clearly because I had just graduated high school and I had nothing else to do in the evenings. Summer nights watching DnD the anime were peak comfy

It sucks that a lot of younger anime fans don't watch older stuff, because they are missing out on some hidden anime treasures.
Record of Lodoss War isn’t forgotten. It’s an epic classic.
Thank you !
I couldn’t believe the audacity of this video title 😅
In my defence, I have never heard of it before, nor have heard anyone else speak about it. This may be my bad, but I hope you enjoyed the video anyway
I recommend you guys a Shonen comedic horror name
Jigoku Sensei Nube. I watch it back in the 90s😊

Same here! Have been listening to it for weeks now since I watched the anime.
Ditto! Likewise for the ending theme. I swear to all things holy, the best themes ever can only be found in 90s anime.
When a 35 year-old anime has better animation quality than most modern shows...something has gone terribly wrong. I miss this style of art and animation. Everything was so vibrant, fluid, and alive.
For anyone that interested the whole series is available on Crunchy Roll right now.

I never forgot record of lodoss war. Parns bowl cut, deedlits deadlifts, forgettable chubby priest, and the vavavoom dark elf Pirotess.
Forgotten? The sheer amount of hours my brother poured into the Dreamcast game guarantees I'll remember this until my dying day.
Not to mention the "deedlit in the wonder labyrinth" game that came maybe 5 years ago and that is very respectful of the serie.
Honestly I loved it
@@stefanswiss3760 That's his birthday present next month, shhh. ;)
That game fuckin rules my friend
I miss my dreamcast.
I loved Record of Lodoss War was one of the very first anime I watched. Back in the 90s when we had to get VHS stuff imported and fansubbed. It was awesome and worth every penny.
It was also one of MY very first anime. I checked them out from a Hollywood Video.
I've seen Record of Lodoss War OVA, Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight TV series, The Legend of Crystania Movie, The Legend of Crystania OVA, Rune Soldier TV series, and played Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth video game. So yeah, I'm a big fan of the best fantasy anime ever made.
xD
There is a Dreamcast game of lodoss war as well
Is I it worth to watch and what you rate it
A new story came out for it a while back- *The Crown of the Covenant*, it takes place after the wonder labyrinth game.
Was that Louie the rune soldier?
Finally someone talking about 80s and 90s fantasy animes..
Glad you enjoyed!
Forgive my stupidity, but I need to redeem myself and watch this beautiful masterpiece.
This whole VHS colection was a gift from my friends back when i was at highschool. Damn, this was a good anime...
Was introduced to it slight mor than 1/2 lifetime ago (I’m 40+) by a friend. Not forgotten but a little dusty & tucked away in my memory treasure chest. Still love the OVA & its theme songs, to tis day.

This was the first anime I ever watched
I’ve never forgot about this Anime! I love this Classic!
I have NEVER forgotten Lodoss War. Deedlit, my love...
You mean Pirotess... Hottest evil waifu in anime 😂 Way more fun than Deedlit, kind of like Ginger vs Mary Ann!
I've heard before of Lodoss. This looks so cool. I'm definitely watching it soon.
Everything about Record of Lodoss War is epic. I have it still on VHS and I pray my VHS player never breaks down.
This era of anime just hits different, in a good way.
I will always remember the first episode of this show I watched. It was with that Berserker character and the animations of him going crazy any time the demon possessing him takes over are insanely good. I rarely see that quality in anything I've watch in recent years.
I felt the same way. I was insanely hyped when i saw him going into rage mode! xD
Great video. I found this anime as a teenager and it's always been one of my favorites.

i only saw the little figure and i was oh, yeah Record Of Lodoss War after so many years i last saw it, highly recommend !
First anime I ever watched and fell in love with in the early 90s. A remake would be awesome.
Central Park Media released this and many lesser known anime. I think it was the hit-or-miss dub that made them not as well known
Studio Madhouse really knows what they’re doing.
Just started watching this off your recommendation and just want to say thank you! 🙏 loving it so far.
haha thanks for letting me know! I am glad that you enjoy it and that I had that impact.
The way animation was done at the time fits perfectly for fantasy. The colors, lighting effects, and painted backgrounds can't be replicated now
True! I think that is another point that just adds to its charm!
This shows art direction is just straight beautiful. In my mind, this is anime looking its very best.
I'm really hoping for a remake for this rare gem ages ago.
Record of Lodoss War will always have a place in my hear i remember it air on the sci-fi channel early in the morning when i was a kid like 28 years ago with Gal Force, also Macross... ahh so many memories

Still own it. Still watch it. Still draw the characters. Never forgot them. Love the theme
The anime also inspired its own RPG in Japan as well. :)
Also, there is a follow up anime TV season that follows up after the OVAs.
Thx alot!

I think the same way, there are way to many 90s anime that get lost in time while newer generations just watch the same stuff over and over again. the originality is kind of beeing lost aswell. I'm thinking about making a video about escaflowne aswell, so I hope that you will check it out aswell!
@@Smightr thx for answering, i agree with every word. Sure my man i will check it out.
Rune Soldier and Record of Grancrest War take place in the same setting.
One of my favorites. I have the CD and should have a fansub somewhere. Been trying to find the official release on a streaming service but they only seem to have later versions.
I remember the Dwarf telling Parm that he couldn't kill time.
Watched this back in the summer of 2016. I remember it clearly because I had just graduated high school and I had nothing else to do in the evenings. Summer nights watching DnD the anime were peak comfy
Good take another underrated gem is escaflowne
Thank you! I'm definitely going to check it out!
@@Smightr series is called vision of escaflowne
The movie soundtrack is gold to this day
This looks incredible. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
No problem! I'm glad that I could help you out!
