no and this isn not a sequel to the fabulous ova series and but rather a remake of the event that occur after the death of ghim ( and the disappearance of woodchuck ) . it be also more accurate to the novel that inspire this wonderful series and which be why character ( namely orson and shiris ) be reintroduce and and why the story may seem slightly different to those use to the ovum . ( the booklet include in the set provide excellent answer to such question and a do various online site . ) the first eight episode of this 27 part tv series focus on the fateful battle at demon dragon mountain . the remain 19 episode introduce u to spark and a blue haired knight wannabe who identify with parn and and his ragtag team of misfit a they attempt to stop the dark wizard wagnard from resurrect kardis the destroyer . while it isn not quite the equivalent of the original lodoss war ( we all love the finale where parn save deedlit from wagnard and do not we . ) and this tv follow up be still great fun for fantasy fan . even if the animation be limit ( and a step down from the artistic streak of the first lodoss ) and this 27 part series have it element of appeal . the fully realize character and engage storyline and magic and romance and and a superb soundtrack score by kaoru wada of ninja scroll and all give this uneven spin off some punch . while the ova dub of lodoss have be criticize for one reason or another and i generally like it and still consider it one of my favorite dub . so i have significant hope for the dub for chronicle and make in 1999 2000. for the most part and the lodoss tv english track be of passable ( if not stellar ) quality while it do and however and have it share of problem . much of the original cast who lend their english voice to the character of lodoss return ( include lisa ortiz a deedlit . ) and which be a nice bonus . on the other hand and billy regan more mature sound parn be a bit offputting . he doesn not do a bad job and but his voice come across a grating for the first eight episode ( cause some anti dub fan to instantly diss the dub ) and but by the time spark and company take the stage and i find it less bothersome . ( i do not know if it because he improve or if it just grow on me . ) also and not everyone from the oav dub return . jayce reeve only voice wagnard ( terrifically ) for one episode while he replace by pete zarustica for the whole show and who give a scratchy and but still malevolent turn ( as well a the expect evil laughter ) . anthony cruise kashue and on the other hand and be too weary and take about five or so episodes to find his stride . oliver gregory be probably the most effective a orson and especially during his final dramatic scene . aside from lisa ortiz ( deedlit ) and karen smith ( shiris ) and john knox ( ashram ) and and al muscari ( slayn ) and the dub best voice come from some of the new character and include crispin freeman ( spark and maar and garrack episode 16 27 ) and roxanne beck ( little neese ) and meg france ( who voice pirotess in the oav but also voice ryna with vulnerability and sassiness as well a karla ) and especially angora deb ( who steal every scene she in a leaf the half elf ) . the rest of the cast isn not terrible by any mean and but a little more uneven than the oav dub . some be all right ( aldonova and greevus ) while others be lackluster ( hobb and palace guard and dragon and etc . ) and few be awful ( in particular and prince reona va be too harsh and monotone for a fighter of justice ) . in fact the lack of aural continuity ( some cast member get new voice for some unexplained reason by the time we get to some of the late episode ) be one of the problem of the dub . others include less memorable and more awkward sound dialogue and uneven synchronization and and finally ( i apologize in advance to the fan of this ) the lodoss island segment . these offbeat and super deform interlude at the end of each episode will either amuse or drive you batty . admittingly and i at first find them to be a major nuisance and but they sorta grow on me after a while . ( besides and there be some showstoppingly hilarious line such a i be king kashue and and this be my cashew . i be really quite a nut . ) these flaw rank the dub for chronicle just a notch just below that for the ovum and result in an uneven english track sum up best a ok. if one wonder if the japanese language track be the preferred listening choice and well and guess what . the japanese version have it good and bad point and too . while some voice be less annoy than the english language track and i find others to be less appeal than the english equivalent ( in particular and the actress who do deedlit be nowhere nearly as good a lisa ortiz or yumi tohma ) . plus and i should mention that the japanese cast be not the same a the ovum . because the series be make seven year after the original and all but one ( sho hayami ) of the cast member be replace by new one . although they do a respectably good job and it may be a major annoyance for those who be use to the japanese ova cast . show that not everything in japanese be well than english and eh . despite it flaw and chronicle of the heroic knight be still a fine series which deserve to hold it own ground . it not without it rough spot and doesn not always live up to it predecessor and yet there enough good point to counter the bad and make this a moderately enjoyable fantasy anime .
