Details: Special Features The ancient prophecies, lost kingdoms, enchanted swords, dragons, elves, and wizards in this vast sword-and-sorcery epic have delighted fantasy fans since the first OAVs appeared in 1990. For this special edition, both the Japanese and English tracks have been rerecorded in Dolby Digital--a marked improvement over earlier versions. Both discs are loaded with extras, although many of them, including "Comics" and "Character Profiles," are quite brief. The DVD-ROM features, which are available only in a PC version, include a huge gallery of images, lists of the English and Japanese vocal casts, and credits. The scripts are transcriptions of the dialogue, with minimal descriptions of the action, unlike an American screenplay. Serious fans of the Lodoss saga will enjoy these additional features; others will probably look at them once, then stick to watching the series. Rated 13 Up: Considerable violence, grotesque imagery, an extremely complicated plot. --Charles Solomon
