Record Of Lodoss War
One of the series that really drew in anime fans in the early days and converted gamers to anime fans as well is Record of Lodoss War, which is sadly long out of print at this point in North America. While Media Blasters was attempting to bring it to Blu-ray at one point, those plans fell through. Now it’s getting a Blu-ray box set in Japan for the first time on November 29th, for the price of 39,990 yen, which fits with what Kadokawa considers one of their crown jewel titles that deserves a lavish production. And going by the set as seen on Amazon Japan, it definitely looks like it is with a new custom box, two discs for the thirteen OVA episodes and a two hundred page full color book with all sorts of illustrations and more.
Definitely a release we hope someone is able to mirror over here after it comes out in Japan.
Plot concept: Lodoss, the accursed island, has seen wars ravage its kingdoms for thousands of years. Now comes an evil beyond any it has ever faced before, and a party of six are drawn together in battle. Six who barely know each other, but who are destined to become heroes as they encounter enemies and allies beyond their wildest imaginations.
