That's some vintage dungeon crawling there, like the game it's based on. No frills, barely enough plot to have an end goal, just basic exploration and monster slaying and phat lewt. Kinda refreshing.
[ 5:21 ] I love how they made the little subtitles explaining now universally known terms as "party", or the spells being used. Such a nice touch and so nostalgic to see. Back in the day all this was very niche and underground, and not everyone was into Wizardry, RPGs and Fantasy, which was beautiful then.
It's especially a nice touch with the spells, for helping ensure that people watching understand what's going on without having needed to play the games. Especially since the spells in Wizardry have such peculiar names, it wouldn't have been enough to just have the characters chant the spell names for them to make any sense.
My dude. I have the collection of games for PC and Tales of the forsaken land, and have emulated the jap games translated. Wizardry is life. Did you know there is a Table top RPG game exclusive to japan?
I definitely remember it, but never really played it. It's just one of those franchises I was aware of as a result of my love for RPGs, but never really got into it myself. Although I did recently play through the first game.
Considering that every modern RPG and JRPG owes a humonguous debt to Wizardry (and Ultima) people with an interest in gaming would do well to bone up on the genre's history.
@@krakelwok well said! even the ancient Shining Force series from SEGA were directly influenced by Wizardry (and D&D ofc). Ah, so nostalgic! Such a pity that many gorgeous games like Oubliette, Demise, and Arkania are nearly totally forgotten now.
I can't believe this has only 12,000 views, whereas many other Anime which are only half as good as this have hundreds of thousands of views. Outrageous I tells ya!!!
I feel ya. Beautiful art, never ages. Like Lodoss War. Also, nobody made a fuss [ 12:40 ] nor silly controversies like ppl did with Dragon's Crown (just because women chars had breasts), or with Goblin Slayer (just 'cause the author wanted to recover the actual sense of danger that existed in fantasy adventures like this one!). Sometimes it feels many things were better back then.
@@anonimoalfin I don't know anything about those other two you mentioned, but I was definitely thinking of Record of Lodoss War with this film's style.
6:33 "And ninjas which fight with the empty space representing their lack of contribution until two weeks into the average game". I guess it was different in the first game lol.
It is a great detail though, having the ninja frequently decapitate his opponents. It may just seem like him being a proficient killer to some people, but it's a great way for the animation to stay true to the game. Even if he's using a sword, instead of his bare hands.
With the advent of the game being remade for Switch, we can now watch this to commemorate the release of the game. Say how about making a fandub of this?

Its official. One of my favorite animes now. Up there with Wicked City, Ninja Scroll, Fist, Guyver,Devilman
Yep, same for me, fav next to Lodoss War ^^
Wonder how many people remember Wizardry - it used to be quite a legendary series that inspired many games to be made...

8 is one of the greatest pc rpgs ever.

I miss when cartoons looked like this.

This was so good I jumped on my other phone just to watch it again.
You are to kind! Thank you!

RIP Werdna
mind was blown by how good this is
With the advent of the game being remade for Switch, we can now watch this to commemorate the release of the game. Say how about making a fandub of this?
And now I'm just left wondering if they'll be remaking the other games, as well.
Super cool ty
hery guys im feeklung good brooklyn babyv
36:39 lol A normal wizard couldn't do that to the most agile character of the game but since is Werdna of course he can.
He must've dual-classed in his youth. It's not only where he got those skills, but also that wicked beard.
wonder if the character Hawkwind is named after the prog rock band
Wouldn't be the first time Japanese media referenced that band.
@@masterklaw4527 several Japanese rock groups are strongly inspired by Hawkwind most notably Acid Mothers Temple, The Boredoms, Boris and High Rise
@@Tsotha I was specifically referring to a character from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 8.
@@Androsynth75 sick!
@@Androsynth75 he also wrote lyrics for Blue Öyster Cult's songs "Black Blade" and "Veteran of the Psychic Wars"
This is awesome
My Favorite character Kyo Hattori!
4:22 Is He Hulk Hogan?
Thule sent me
Trebor Sux
The welcome message to the tenth floor should've absolutely said that as he was vanishing.
Love how homie somehow gets poisoned when a zombie is biting his armor lol
