So, do you like Lodoss War?

ProfessorCirno · Nov 29, 2008

I LIKE Lodoss, but I dunno if I kile it ;p

As for Yoko Kanno, she does some amazing soundtracks even if the show itself was a stinker. Like, say, Arjuna

Personally, I perfer slower paced shows. Planetes was amazing. Dennou Coil was wonderful. Haibane Renmei is probably my favorite series ever created.

I was under the impression that the original system was Dungeons and Dragons, and that Sword World was the subsequent custom-built system for the setting.

This is my understanding of it as well.

Maybe this is fifth time I explain about Lodoss war...

The original system was Dungeons and Dragons(OD&D).
You can see some charactor sheets.

But Group SNE made custom-built system for the setting, ロードス島戦記コンパニオン(Lodoss Tou Senki companion).

"Sword World RPG" is another system made by Group SNE.
Official world for this systme is named フォーセリア (Forcelia? I don't know official spelling), and include the continent (called an Island during the series) Lodoss.

"Arecrast" is name of the biggest continent.
Lodoss is at south (mentioned as "Iland of Damned" in this map).

Years after, Group SNE publised revised systme of Lodoss RPG.

And they also publised Lodoss campaign setting book for Sword World RPG.

Record of the Lodoss War is the epitome of a campaign that I want to run someday. I much prefer the OVA than the series though.

It's anime, so the answer has to be no.

Also, my first "dates" with my girlfriend (now fiancee) were initiated by, "You want to see Record of Lodoss War? I have the DVDs in my dorm room!" So, yeah...

For me it was Slayers, though we did watch Lodoss eventually.

Yes, Bastard! is great. Might be worth mentioning it has nudity and swearing, if those are concerns for whoever would be interested. Also has some gore (like limbs flying off), but I'm guessing the first two would upset more people than that. *sigh*

I believe the final episode of Lodoss has some nudity as well, which as far as I can tell the reasoning must have gone like this. "Crap, we made an entire anime series without showing any boobies....quick get Deedlit in here, they'll like that!"

I fell asleep watching the two hour original series or whatever it was someone had on DVD about 5 years back. Maybe it isn't my kind of fun, but I don't care for stuff like this.

Really? If so, I totally don't remember that. Deedlit mostly just had really short dresses. Only actual "nudity" I recall is the Scepter of Domination, and I think even those carvings lacked the proper...contours to really be considered as nudity. I really haven't watched it in like 4 years now, I need to correct that...
