For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we’re watching episodes 5 through 9 (of 13) from one of the all-time classic anime OVAs, Record of Lodoss War (1990). We will watch a band of medieval adventurers as they trek through dungeons, kill monsters, and collect treasure. Imagine a video game, but as an anime. That is pretty much this series’ tone. It is nevertheless one of the most iconic OVA series out there. After that is Klaus (2019), which I am counting as honorary anime, because god damn it, it’s Christmas-themed, animated, and highly acclaimed. Good enough. It is a story of a strange man in the Arctic who enjoys making toys for children at Christmas. What a weirdo. Anyway, he becomes famous or something. Currently ranked #45 on Letterboxd's Top 100 animated films of all time.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!
