5.0 out of 5 stars This series is given a bad rap..., January 13, 2001

By	M. J Smith (Cottage Grove, MN, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Record of Lodoss War - Chronicles of the Heroic Knight Set [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I don't get why so many people dislike this series. Its really good I think the main problem people have with it is the continuity from the OVA and the shift of focus to different characters. (Parn and Deedlit lose personality and Orson and Shiris suddenly gain some...) As for the Welcome to Lodoss Island bits at the end of the episodes they are really cool and only once did I think that they took away from the dramatic impact of a story ( It was after when you know who died...) anyways this is really a solid series and I would have to say that I really enjoyed it and for those of you who must absolutly insist on continuity I would try to stress this as an alternate timeline or universe. Anyways if you like Lodoss or Anime I would definitly purchase this item....

5.0 out of 5 stars Lodoss lives on in a collection of the best anime RPG ever, April 19, 2000

By	Orson (Tucker, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Record of Lodoss War - Chronicles of the Heroic Knight Set [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the whole shibang - the entire Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight series dubbed in English - and it rocks!The great voice acting and intriguing plot will keep you watching this series again and again...maybe even right after you just finished watching it like me. The art quality is very good and the characters all stand out well - each with their own personality attributes. The collection costs ()less also by buying the set, which is good because buying 9 or 10 cassettes can be tedious and more expensive. Parn, Deedlit, Shiris, Orson, Ashram, and others all return from the original '91 series, "The War of Heroes", and (even though Ashram and Orson have new voices) the series has kept its captivating touch with twice as many episodes as the original. After just the first 4, I already bought this nice collection which has hooked me - and should hook you on quite-possibly the best anime ever...If you don't own the whole series you're missing out on alot - it's actually worth the buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like the first one you love the second...., April 22, 2003

The second series builds on the original series and introduces young new heroes. Unlike some series where everyone never ages. The way the characters are handle remind me of the dragonlance novels. Playing the opening and closing credits everytime is overkill though...
