There's a neat thing on the internet archive for classic anime and RPG fans: translated transcripts, 'Replays', of the original tabletop sessions between Ryo Mizuno and friends that were serialized in Comptiq magazine and compiled into the original Lodoss War novels.

I remember watching the final episode of the first ova and thinking 'Yep, that is what happens when you give a character two legendary swords.'

Great find. I had been curious about these for years (back when Record of Lodoss War was released on VHS to give an idea on how long). Can't wait to start reading.

I don't know a single thing about Record of Lodoss War but I played Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth a year or two ago and I think I somehow know even less than I did before. Really good Metroidvania but confusing story.

omg I've been reading these recently, I was waiting for the IA to come back online to finish! very different vibe than the anime, it's not just The Deedlit Show

also shows how different ppls idea of how a D&D game should go was back then, how much is just DM fiat

I wonder if the Critical Role fans have any idea people were turning their DnD campaigns into media empires back in the 80's.

Honestly I'm surprised there aren't more notable examples.

Stuff like this really exemplifies just how much anime and manga history has been inaccessible to the English-speaking fanbase for such a long time.
