    I just saw the episodes 1-7 of Record of Lodoss war. This is the first time i say that this series is great. The characters have different personalities, great character designs and different reasons for going on this journey. <I liked it very much>

    My favorite character is Woodchuck and Parn
    <i like the main character :eek: -Weird- :eek:. I never have liked the main character - Spike from cowboy Bebop is an acception - >

    I am more drawn to the grown-up Parn. He's so handsome ^_^ and so mature.

    all I have to say is sadness.. I don't think we ever know what becomes of him. Its the price to pay to have gotten Leilia back

    When Karla took woodchuck as a host, then it would be the last time we hear from him ? <the last time we see him in the series?>

    okay, so he's possessed by Karla for 10 years, and then she discards him for a female body, then after we don't hear anything about him, so just presume the best I hope.

    I personally think the best part of RLW is the Opening theme and the ending "extras" (ya know, chibi characters ^^)

    I seriously think Kiseki no Umi is the best opening in all of anime history :D

    My friend Tstripe tried to get me into Lodoss, but he was far more sucessful in getting me addicted to Slayers. I liked the character designs for this series, and found some of the characters (Shirys (sp?) especially) to be interesting but in the end it just felt like an uninteresting D and D campaign to me (in fact, T also told me that it was based on something along the lines of a D and D-style rp game the creators had). I couldn't get past the first quest, to be honest, especially because I thought Spark was about the most annoying and one-dimensional character I'd ever seen in anime. Sorry if I've offended anyone, I did not mean to. I just really didn't fancy Lodoss War.

    RLW is a great anime! I agree that Kiseki no Umi is an AWESOME song! I loved it right away!
    What I liked about RLW was the atmosphere and how much it was like a Lord of the Rings kinda story, except much more interesting...not that Lord of the Rings isn't interesting....anyway, I've only seen the first few episodes, not up to the 7th one for sure, but overall, I think it's really fun to watch, although it's not exactly like a humorous anime or anything.
    Parn rocks! He reminds me so much of...of....someone I know, but I forgot just now. *scratch head* hehe, well, i hope to catch more RLW sometime if i can...

    *from 2 OVAS...*

    It's good so far... nothing really truly big getting me interested... but I've been thrown off once so far...

    I mean, in the first episode, every character seemed to know what was going on, but the second episode seemed to jump back to Parn's introduction...

    (Maybe I should finish the OVAs I have sitting around but haven't watched?)

    Anyway, great elements, characters are classic LOTR/D&D styling... I really loved the Dwarf/Elf hostility...

    BakaMattSu, must say it's strange...Deed was a character he thought he'd hate from pics he'd seen...but she's making a kewl impression on him...

    The 13 part OVA and the tv chronicles tied in nicely together, the story line overlapping well. The tv seemed to get a deja vu with Orson and Shiris, but I loved it: I was disappointed they only showed up for a bit in the ova, but really happy they were in the tv chronicles more.

    13 part.. there are 26 eps to the OVA. Record of Lodoss was one of my brothers first DVD box set. the first part is the war between the 2 kings then the second part is about the reincarnation of Kardess (something like that)

    there is more the 13 eps im sure of that. Because the TV remake is way different i hear. Just because i got into an argument with a friend who seen the remake and i seen the original.. and we both thought we were talking about the same thing...

    I meant there is a 13 part ova I have on dvd, and there is a 27 episode tv series I have on dvd as well.
    I also meant that the 13 part ova tied in nicely with the 27 episode chronicles.
    I've seen all of Lodoss.

    Someone was telling me that the TV series is basically the second half of the OVA, just a lot more fleshed out, and with more to it... (i.e. 1-27 TV fill in for 8-13 OVA)

    Is that true? Or are they just very similar?

    BakaMattSu, why's he wanna know? Just making conversation he guesses...

    I just saw the 2nd volume of Record of Lodoss war .. so that was the ova:eek: i didnt know that.

    What i liked in the series is that every character have their own journey to accomplish.

    I cried when the dark elf sacrified her life in defending the <sexy :catgirl: > Ashram. Then he holds her in disbelief as the place that surrounds him is being destroyed by the ancient dragon
