Serious Fantasy Anime (European Style)

[Anime Kidd]

There is also Ruin Explorers, Fire Emblem, and Crystania. Ruin Explorers but it might be more comedy than not, while Fire Emblem is more serious. Its been awhile since I've seen them and I don't really remember much of 'em. Then there is Crystania. It is based in the same world as Record of Lodoss War. Its good, but not as the original series.

Is Ruin Explorers the one where the magic user turns into a mouse when she casts spells due to her curse? If so, no, it was't bad, especially the DVD as it has the whole series on one shot.

How's Slayers? I've never watched that one but see that they have a ton of stuff out for it. Serious or comedy?

Both.

the fierce adventure of Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind.

Word; these are both brilliant, though I'm more partial to Nausicaa meself.


Jeeze, most of the stuff that I like has either been mentioned already, diverges from the "no samurai", "no comedy" or "strictly fantasy" themes, or has oodles of gratuitous sex and tentacles.

Well, on the good news side, Record of the Heroic Knight, the remake OVA of Lodoss Wars, is coming out in a less expensive edition sometime soon and I believe that I've seen the Orphen DVD's now as a boxed set. Might be time to break down and pick 'em up.
