Welcome to Lodoss Island! · review
4.5/10 ~ Enjoyable but really not that good For anyone that doesnt know, these were held at the end of EACH ep of the Lodoss War TV series then was put into this compilation "movie". From what I can tell its the exact same material just more accessible. These completely broke the tension from there series and made you realize the series is all in good fun. At the end of the day Lodoss war truly is just a retelling of some old D&D Campaigns from the late 80's, and such enjoyment is for all ages. I do enjoy that these theoretically must have gotten manychildren around the world interested into the world of Lodoss and D&D / High fantasy in general. That being said these are hardly well made, and just for comedic purposes. Many of them were pretty jarring and or annoying and broke pace of watching the series on a binge. At first I just got annoyed by them and dreaded them coming, then around the 18th one they were just kinda expected and I went with the flow. 3 to 4/10 is where I draw the line of something being acceptable to watch and this was just barely above that line in my opinion. But not quite good enough to get a 5/10 the oh so sacred average.
I am sure if you adore Lodoss, have children or just are obsessed with late 80s/early 90's chibi animation you will love this, probably just was not for me.
