Record of Lodoss War 

Well the story starts of with Parn who is a swordsman and for some reason the island of the monsters "Lodoss" are coming together to form an army that will battle the good. Parn meets up with Deedlit who is an elf with power over the spirits and he also meets with the other characters inside some ruins. A dragon attacks them and the basically crush the dragon and move on. They join the army that is fighting against the evil and then the two leaders come together.

***SPOILER ALERT**

Do not read further unless you want to spoil the rest of the both series.

Both of the armies fight against each other killing hundreds, as the two leaders battle the good starts to lose and dies; but before the enemy can rejoice, a force of tremendous power named Karla kills the leader of the evil army and disappears. King Cashev takes the sword of light from his dead leader and walks away as Ashrum the second in command of the dark side takes the evil sword and leaves as well. Then the armies depart.

The battle between the main characters of good and evil goes on with the death of the dark mage (the one in the back, the one in the front is Ashrum).

After countless battles and with Ashrum supposedly dead, the first series of 13 episodes ends.

The two groups leave each other alone after a while and We move on to Record of Lodoss War Chronicles of the Heroic Knight.

The people on the good side meet up after a few months of being apart and go out in search of the scepter of domination which ashram is about to get. The scepter of Domination makes it so that every one bows to the owner of the Scepter, the only reason that no one has already got it is because there is a dragon guarding it and this dragon goes out and terrorizes the country men of King Cashev.

Ashrum and king Cashev battle together to defeat the dragon and then battle with each other to claim the scepter. Knowing the he will lose after a time, Ashrum makes a desperate lunge toward the scepter but Parn knocks it out of the way and into a lava pit, never to be seen again. Ashrum who has no reason to live falls into the lava as well.

Ashrum is later found to have been saved by one of his followers.  He then takes over Rood, and holds it until the last few episodes of the series.

Meanwhile, Spark, a knight in training, is given the charge of taking care of Slayn's daughter, Neese.   During Spark's quest, the beserker from his party dies and Neese is kidnapped by the dark priest Vagnard.

The series comes to an end as Spark and Parn join together and defeat Ashrum.  The two then continue to Marmo, arriving just in time for the evil Goddess' resurrection.  After a long and tedious 2 episodes, the series ends when Neese realizes that by accepting the dark Goddess, she can also bring in the light Goddess.

My rating for this anime: A- (for the original), B (for the second series).
