Great animated fantasy series! Based on a book of the same name, the animation is thoroughly engaging and entertaining- 26 episodes of great fun! A great value for hours of enjoyment! The series has two parts. Episodes 1-13 focusing on the hero Parn and his companions and Episodes 14-26 with Spark and his companions- both attempting to spoil evil plots from the wizard Vagnard on the dark isle of Marmo. The adventures involve elves, dwarves, priests, wizards, dragons and monsters of all sorts around a larger story of a conflicted island landmass called Lodoss where war and conflict have ravaged the land and the five kingdoms are divided and at odds...... GREAT STUFF!
