Wow! I e-mailed Toonami way back when they started the 3 hour schedule and suggested Record of Lodoss War OVA +TV series be shown on Toonami.

Well, doesn't look like its actually on Toonami, but its on that Reactor thing, so that's cool.

I just hope they wont massacre it, like they tend to do *shudders*.
It's great that they've decided to show something as good as RoLW though...

i dont see any reason why cn should edit it, its on the net for crying out loud

I went to the Toonami Reactor site and only saw the riddle that is posted there.

Do you know for a fact that they are showing lodoss War, and if so, where did you find out.

Or

Did you just guess from the riddle which says "Records of Robot Wars," which sounds kinda like Lodoss, but the "robot" part makes no sense and makes it sound like Gundam.

well, the riddle had been there for a long time, and many people had already claimed its RoLW, but here is the confirmation:

Action-Adventure Shows On Demand at CartoonNetwork.com
with the Return of Toonami Reactor

Beginning November 14, Toonami Reactor returns to CartoonNetwork.com. Reactor, the online extension of the on-air Toonami franchise offers popular action-adventure episodes on demand while demonstrating the potential for interactive entertainment. The program presents enhanced videos that allow users to view complete episodes while exclusive information about the characters and the storyline is simultaneously displayed on a split screen. Toonami Reactor will feature full-length episodes and will introduce several unique games.

Over the course of several months, Reactor will continuously debut content, which differs from the animation currently available on Cartoon Network. At launch, Reactor will include episodes from Record of Lodoss War, Star Blazers (second season), The Harlock Saga, and Patlabor (original video releases), as well as animated music videos from French electronica duo Daft Punk. The site will also feature popular games such as Batman, Superman and Dragonball Z and Toonami-related trivia. Editorial content will be provided by Animerica.

Famed Japanese animator Leiji Matsumoto is the creative force behind much of the content on Toonami Reactor, including Star Blazers, The Harlock Saga and the Daft Punk videos. Reactor will give fans the opportunity to sample material that spans Matsumoto’s 30-year animation career.

The Reactor re-launch follows the marked success of the original Toonami Reactor, launched in March 2001 on CartoonNetwork.com. Over its three-month initial run, Reactor served an average of 30 million page views per month to its 800,000 unique users. The original Reactor also featured enhanced video content, exclusive series information and brand-new Toonami games.

“We received such positive feedback from the fans during the initial release of Reactor, that we decided to continue the program,” said Paul Condolora, general manager of Cartoon Network Online. “By featuring new content, different from what you can find on-air, Reactor offers us an opportunity to provide our fans a chance to expand their Toonami experience.”
Although a high-bandwidth user will enjoy the most complete Toonami Reactor experience, users surfing at 56K will also have access to the episodes, games, feature areas, and most of the text content. The screen will be split into three sections, each containing specific episodic and character information.

One window features the video content and will be available for broadband advertising. Advertisements and relevant interactive content will be displayed in a second window, giving the user in-depth information and insight into their favorite shows. The remaining HTML window will allow users to simultaneously view sponsor Web sites, game content and other Toonami information.

Whoa, if it's going to be on toonami, you wonder about how bad the dubbing of Lodoss War is....

agree! deedlit's engslish VA is annoying! (she also did lina inverse from slayers)

Robotech Master · 11-11-2001, 01:27 AM

Hey, I think the Dub was good, and I have nothing against Lisa Ortiz's job as Deedlit, at least not by the end of the OVA.

In fact, her voice for the last 7 episodes of the OVA and the entire TV series were good. Ashram's voice was perfect, and all in all I'd say the only annoying voice in the entire show was Etoh.

Also, the Dub at least has some familiarity between OVA and TV series because most of the same voices were used. The original Japanese Voice cast, however, had only 1 voice actor return, and that was the voice of Orson, who didn't even play Orson, he played Ashram. IOW, the TV series Dub is better than the Sub.

Miss_Misato · 12-11-2001, 11:19 PM

YEAH!!!!!! Lodoss War RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I just hope they don't edit out all Deed's spells to make them sound not as Pagan...) The only bad news is Patlabor, bleach!! I can't stand that anime!

Fatal Outlaw · 14-11-2001, 04:55 PM

toonamireactor.com opens today, although its still non functional as of 4:53 pm. maybe later when toonami starts airing at 5...

Fatal Outlaw · 14-11-2001, 07:11 PM

question: why did CN decide to spend money to put RoLW on reactor, than having it on toonami itself???
