[OT] Are there any D&D like cartoons/anime?

[Grapeshot]

I was just watching INUYASHA on cartoon network. It was pretty decent as far as a band of adventures running into different battles. It was very simular to a d&d game. Are there any others even more simular to dungeons and dragons?

Record of Lodoss War is about as close to DND as anime gets. Slayers is also very similar albeit more focused on comedy.

Record of Lodoss War couldn't be more stereotypical DnD if it tried.

There is also, obviously, the old actual DnD cartoon, which was actually NOT much like DnD at all, but has poorly animated versions of lots of your favorite monsters. My favorite was the episode with the Fairy Dragons.

That's probably because it was based off of an actual D&D campaign.

Anyway, there's a thread on this kind of thing already in the Sci-Fi forum.

.hack//sign is close but its more of a mmorpg then d&d anime.

Oh I love that show.

It's actually ... well not based on... But was developed in conjunction with a series of PS2 games.

.hack//infection and .hack//mutation are the two that are out in the US right now. (It's a series of 4. And each game comes with a DVD with a short movie and extras as well.)

The games are single player RPGs that simulate being on an MMOG.

Great show, great games. Very funny and entertaining if you play a lot of RPGs, on and/or off line.

I agree. I never miss the show. Very interesting stuff going on there, and I almost totally understand it all. Yay me!

Are you only looking for anime?

I'd second Lodoss War, but Slayers drives me insane...

Firstly, this thread isn't [OT], is it? Its about D&D.

Secondly, there used to be a cartoon when I was a kid called "Dungeons and Dragons".

I think it was probably better than a recent movie of that title, which was a shameless excuse of a film, hijacking D&D's good name.

Thirdly, the cartoon "Thundar the Barbarian" reminds me a bit of D&D. At least he had a sword. I think.
