Record of Lodoss War
I'm old. Growing up in the 80s we had some good anime (i.e., Dragonball, Robotech, Voltron, Transformers, Gundam), but most of what we got was Speed Racer, Astro Boy, Kimba, and Getter Robo. Akira came out and that was a start in the right direction for me, but in the early 1990s I finally saw this amazing series called Record of Lodoss War. It was about black knights, elves, wizards, priests, dragons, and demi-gods. Supposedly it was based on the creator's Dungeons and Dragons characters; I don't know. All I know is it had amazing animation for the time and an amazing classical score. The story and characters stuck with me. I remember I ripped the audio onto a cassette tape and would listen to them on the school bus. Is is the best anime? Probably not, but it remains an important memory of my past.
