With fantasy anime being a small fraction of the overall output in the last couple of decades, fans tend to cling to what does come out and what does work. Record of Lodoss War in its original OVA form definitely set a high bar for many and is still considered one of the defining fantasy anime series out there. And now it looks like we’ll get a bit more with Meshimase Lodoss-tō Senki Sorette Oishii no? (Have Some, Record of Lodoss War: Is That Delicious?).
The trick? The new show is set to debut on April 6th, 2014 and will be a series of shorts. This isn’t entirely new territory for fans as we had a short years ago for it. Details for the show are slim beyond that but we have the teaser site that’s gone live.
Original series premise: Created from the aftermath of the last great battle of the gods, Lodoss and its kingdoms have been plagued by war for thousands of years. As a quiet peace and unity finally become foreseeable over the land, an unknown evil begins to stir. An ancient witch has awakened, bent on preserving the island of Lodoss by creating political unbalance throughout the many kingdoms and keeping any one from maintaining central control. Only a mixed-race party of six young champions, led by the young warrior Parn, stand between this new threat and Lodoss’ descent back into the darkness of war and destruction.
