@CalgarGTX7 күн бұрын
I finally got the chance to watch it recently in 2024 and yeah the first thing that came to my mind was 'this is pretty much a DnD session'. They have warrior guy, warrior/mage elf, mage, cleric, rogue, and dwarf fighter. They clearly power up through the episodes too especially Parn, without it really being shown on screen as if they gained levels. Magic has casting time for the most part, and they fight dragons goblins ogres etc... Not that this is a bad thing, modern fantasy anime are almost all isekais with ever more unhinged premises by comparion. Some of them are still good but most are 'wtf is going on here' or give the MC world ending powers by episode 3 which make everything happening later on irrelevant. I thought there was gonna be more episodes and char developpement tho. They speed from one location and to the next fight really fast. Which also sounds DnD like I guess.

If you are interested, ROLW Chronicles of the Heroic Knight might be what you are looking for in terms of more episodes and fleshing out some of the characters. The production quality of the show is not nearly as good as the ROLW OVA, but it does continue the story in a more "faithful" way to the source material (the RPG replays/light novels). Chronicles of the Heroic Knight takes place after episode 8 of the OVA and replaces episodes 9-13.

besides these points wich i agree with i could not ever watch it dubbed, much of the natural voice acting is lost and the drama falls flat on its face in how they deliver the lines...Sure there is millions of worse dubs but man it takes me out of the experience. Also i remember this movie was a big deal when it was on its way (got hyped via Newtype and other magazines leading up to the release) and i was pretty happy with the result mostly with the animation and new designs, but as a story the TV.series is the best. One issue with the original VHS or DVD release was it had some issues with dark scenes as most of the details got lost like in that first fight scene...I wonder if the new editions is better? I guess they are
@100Servings23 күн бұрын
This is so great. Anything to talk about Sonoda's work. The levels of detail he put into every car and gun make me proud to be an American. The painstaking care and attention into every bullet and magazine has never really been replicated. This was clearly done out of love. Unlike film, everything in animation is on purpose. It's not like they don't know everything that's going in front of the camera. Every frame is an actual painting. The sad part of this is that it also applies to all the perverted stuff in the classic Disney films...😕 Great video. Any clues about what you're thinking of next?

Frieren is more like a very good fantasy novel told in visual form through the manga. Which was adapted very faithfully.

The stretching of the picture wasn't something I wanted to do, honestly. The editing software I use (Movavi - as a hobbyist I can't justify ponying up the money for something better just yet) would not load the original rip, and I am too much of a novice to figure out how to fix it. The stretching was the result of my amateur attempt at converting the file to something Movavi would tolerate. So, I agree with you there. You know, now that you say it, the Night on Bald Mountain reference is obvious. But, I honestly hadn't made the connection before! Thanks for pointing that out!

But that Merc sounds like a V8, not a V12. I think they got an S500/CL500/500SEL for the engine note, but understandable, That V12 is barely making any noises. Aside from that, They got that proper auto box kick down under heavy throttle, much stable dynamic that fit the car's character. Both cars got the right seating position, right human proportion, right color shading and detail on the interior, manual crank window on GT500 vs electric window on Merc.... All of this is from the 90s, And hand-drawn with no CG BS. F-ing Amazing
