Product Description

Amazon.ca

This three-part OAV is set in the same universe as Record of Lodoss War, but there's little overlap between the stories. The choppy and often difficult-to-follow narrative traces the effort to resurrect the evil wizard-king Barbas. Opposing the attempt are Sir Redon and his retinue, a dark elf, the twins Irim and Kirim, and assorted other warriors. The characters wander through Crystania as the story builds to the inevitable confrontation in which Barbas is defeated not by Redon, but King Ashram, who's spent the last 300 years trapped in the World of Chaos. The filmmakers fail to give the characters distinct identities: at the end of "A New Beginning," Kirim turns into a swan who will carry souls to paradise, but the viewer has no idea how or why he's making this transition. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up: Violence, grotesque imagery. --Charles Solomon

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be great but has major flaws... Jan 29 2004
By "loraina"
Format:DVD
Down to the point, Legend of Crystania isn't a complete flop. Truthfully, the story could have been very good and captivating. It however isn't back to the old loved style of Record of Lodoss War. The animation can look wonderful at times, but usually lacks color and has very thick, black lines for details. As for the story, it seems a bit rushed and lacks depth in character. The main characters don't have real personalities and thus, you don't get attached to them. The story is pretty good, but it takes time and effort to figure out the whole story. After watching it, you feel empty, and the story just doesn't make since, like bits and pieces were left out. It does add a bit more to the Lodoss Saga and is worth you time at least. So all in all, Legend of Crystania isn't great due to rushed story and very unrealistic characters... But before you just blow it off, you should at least rent it and see it for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars This rocks! Jan 8 2003
By Junette Oscar
Format:VHS Tape
That is all I can say. It's your classic good versus evil story, and what makes it so great is the wonderful acting, the emotion, the animation...! Barbas is totally cool! Nasair is cool too! Obier is even cooler! In fact, he's the coolest!!! Hahaha!!! >:D

*Ahem*

If you're into anime, go ahead and buy this motion picture. You won't be disappointed. ;)

Though I was giving it the benefit of the doubt, Legend of Crystania proved to be quite a disappointment. The story line is less than underdeveloped. Read more

As has been said by previous reviewers, Legend of Crystania is not a sequel to Record of Lodoss Wars, although it appears to bill itself as such. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT for Lodoss War fans!
If you're a Lodoss War fan, avoid this title. Despite it's billing, it has no tie-in with the Lodoss world besides a 2 minute history intro and a couple of names thrown out at the... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars disgrace....one of the worst I've seen!

This is not Record of Lodoss War. Enjoy the movie at face value. Many people say the animation is of poor quality, when I think the animation is equal if not better than Lodoss... Read more

Legend of Crystania is a fantastic flight into a world of spells and sword play. It all takes place on an island, separate from the rest of the world. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this video
This is listed as part of the Lodoss setting. Other than the names, it has nothing to do with them. And the names are on wrong races and faces to top it off. Read more
