I already have the TV box set and it is 4 DVDs, but this one sounds the same, but has different artwork and is less than half the price.
I bought my boxset at Best Buy. Anyhow, if anyone knows the difference please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Maybe this will save someone else a few dollars if it is the same as the boxset that I have.

The boxset in the link is for the Record of Lodoss War TV series.., but it's a Hong Kong edition..., & probably a pirate edition too..., which may mean that the subtitles are ropey as hell...,
If you already have it on DVD, then there's not really any point in getting this set....,

Thanks,

I looked at some of the other auctions and it looks like the U.S. Manga version is out of print for the OVA series and is going to run me $50 or more most likely. No wonder I couldn't find it in the stores anywhere :)

I personally prefered the OAV for it's animation and quality, but the TV series is longer and stays more true to the story

I heard the OVA boxset is going to be released here, if it hasn't already been released.

I think in Amazon.com it gives the estimated release date.

The VHS are out of print, yes, but that matters little to me since I own them all, BWAHHAAAAA. I also own all the TV series.

ALL YOUR LODOSS NOW BELONG TO ME.

Glad to hear the OVA boxset is scheduled for rerelease. The one on Ebay is up past $75 so it looks like I will never see these unless they rerelease them. Thanks for the info!

Where do you guys live? I've owned the OAV Dvd for like a year now :confused:

Well, like I said, I just don't know. It could already be out, it could not. I'm not sure. I live in the US, so it would be the Region 1 DVD.

I haven't followed the DVD release though because I already have the VHS tapes.

With so many other Anime that I'm collecting as they come out, I wouldn't be looking to buy Lodoss OVA on DVD, as much as I love, for a long time, like, say when my VHS tapes begin to die.

I live in the US, east coast, around Washington DC. I've had this great DVD for so long!!! :)

What kind of extra's does it have on it?

I read that the Chronicles one has a nice "history of Lodoss" thing in it.

Unfortunately, I only have the OAV on DVD. It comes in a boxed set w/ a Making of Record of Lodoss War documentary.
