So. I finally got around to watching the Lodoss OVA bd, after not having seen the original for about four years. It was my third watch through so I knew what to expect, except with a different set of eyes this time.

Despite all of its problems - low budget, plot holes, flat dialogue, strange narrative jumps that you're expected to accept, other typical OVA issues - it was heartwarming and a little unsettling to have reconnected with a small but important part of my younger years. The last two episodes drag out but they still make me feel uncomfortable, and that plus the cheesy weepy intro song made me a little melancholy for the next day. Kind of embarrassing, really :x

It is a decent attempt at pulling together a -lot- of material for those who haven't seen it (you're on this board and you haven't watched Lodoss?), so I guess I can't be too harsh on it. Or maybe I can? Anyway.

My biggest complaint, aside from the lacking dialogue and glaring budget holes, is how passive and kind of useless Deedo can be. I am re-reading Deedlit's Tale and the Grey Witch arc again and while the latter may be very simplistic, it reveals some of her past that should really have been in the OVA to flesh out her character (plus a certain corny phrase about moving forward and finding radiance that would still have fit in the OVA). She is also spunkier and more assertive in the manga, which I appreciate.

Personally, I prefer Pirotess.

I've only seen the anime, though.

Oh, yeah, that reminds me. I forgot to make this. Wall of text ahead.

Because of how incomplete/inaccurate the OVA is, Lodoss is a series that I'd recommend going through its entirety to get a better picture of what's going on. Here's the order in which I'd recommend watching/reading everything, with as much respect to chronological order as I can apply:

OVA
The Grey Witch (manga)
The Demon of Flame (manga)
Chronicles of the Heroic Knight TV Show, first 9 episodes (retelling of red dragon arc)
The Lady of Pharis (manga and prequel to the rest of the series)
Deedlit's Tale (manga, makes references to other events in the series thus far)
Rest of the TV Show (retelling of the end of the OVA but uses the plot and characters of the manga/novels)
Chronicles of the Heroic Knight (manga)

So, having gone and watched this... yeah, it's a cute show but rather pervy in that very Japanese way. I guess I'd put it at about the same level as Magical Pokaan, it's got a more continuity of plot but the humor wasn't quite as funny to me (I don't Japanese humor for the most part, though.)

I would have appreciated more screen time for Queen Mercelida (pictured) but the show clearly wasn't targeted to that taste if you know what I mean.

So yeah, light, pulpy, feel-good (unless you're the sort that the perviness makes you feel bad) sort of show. But lots of cute ears.

Also yeah, a lot of humor in standard Japanese fare is loaded with slapstick and visual gags, which is probably why it often feels so stale (or just not funny). There really isn't any depth to it unless it's something culturally-specific like Japan's fondness for jokes about old people, in which case it's the context in which the work was made getting in the way.

In short, I don't get it either. But it can make me smile just for how goofy it can be sometimes.

I can't say I'm too well-versed on the Tales series, but how does /pe/ feel about colored ear tips?

Character is Muzet from Tales of Xillia, by the way. The only one I've ever invested time in was Phantasia (with a translation patch).

Retro /pe/ gaming time, take 2: Arkista's Ring for the NES (1990)

It's like Zelda 1 if you stripped away all of the world exploration and left in one giant dungeon. Which sounds terrible, but it's actually kind of fun in practice. Several speedrunners have been routing it lately and it's going to be at AGDQ this summer, too.

There are a bunch of items available to solve the game and 32 stages to traverse, with 4 loops total. So there are technically 128 levels. Each loop is harder than the last Despite being a "rare" game, it's pretty cheap; I got a copy for $16 with manual.

The plot is that some magic ring from the elf kingdom was stolen by the Shogun and the elf princess Christine has to go get it back and who actually cares it's a game with a cute elf protag

As shown above, the box art is actually pretty accurate to the game itself. Which is surprising. She's kinda goofy-lookin' but works in her favor, I guess.

Also Christine's overworld sprite wiggles her ears when she walks and it's kinda adorable, in a crude and reductionist sort of way:

Come to think of it, there really aren't many games at all outside of the Zelda series that star an elf as its main or sole protagonist.

I remember playing this on an emulator when I was going through one of those "EVERY ROM EVER" packs and checking out stuff that sounded promising by the titles. A bit too "arcadey" to be compared to TLOZ, IMO, but not unenjoyable. I seem to recall there being some annoyance with that you had to cycle through all the levels three times to get a true ending, though (I didn't manage it.)

Apparently, it's remembered enough that there are a few bits of fanart around.

Someone also made a nude edit of her in-game portrait but I'll leave finding that as an exercise to the reader.
