You guys are AMAZING. We’re floored by your outpouring of support for our fundraiser drive for Record of Lodoss War! I can’t tell if it’s because you actually like us or if you just want to see Pirotess’s boobs in 1080P, but either way, YOU DID IT!

All together we raised $465.36! That is enough to get the Lodoss Blu-ray box the day it comes out, I will be taking photos of the unboxing so you all can join in with us. We will be working hard over the next 5 weeks to finalize the subtitles in advance so we can get the videos out to all our sponsors as soon as humanly possible in advance of the general release!

The other good news is the remainder of the funds will be going towards the R2 DVDs of 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother. We will be able to continue subtitling that show in the quality it deserves! This is all thanks to your support!

Many of you reached out to us inquiring about sponsoring other titles. We are only doing this one time so we have to choose carefully. Here is what we are doing in addition to Lodoss:

1) We will be redoing Condor Hero from proper R2 DVD source, something we’ve wanted to do for a decade now. We actually finished subtitling the show a couple of weeks before the first volume was released in Japan, and it was licensed by then, so we never had the chance. This is an amazing show that deserves better treatment than us or Tai Seng (the R1 company that released it with Chinese & English audio) have given it.

2) Additionally, I know I’ve been hinting at another all-time epic title we will be picking up. I promise you we will be unveiling that in the next couple days. Stay tuned to Live-eviL for updates!

As for all the backers… YOU are the real hero here. We couldn’t do it without you. I know it’s not much, but we made this hilariously bad YTMND in your honor: http://lookslikewemadeit.ytmnd.com/

Hi everyone!

UPDATE: $355.03 raised so far!

First off, thank you for your outpouring of support for our Lodoss Blu-ray project. We’re 90% the way there! We are also raising funds for two other projects (Condor Hero R2 DVDs to properly redo the series) and another major Blu-ray project which we will be announcing in the next couple days, so please keep the donations coming! All in all, it will cost us about $1200 but will give us literally years worth of high quality episodes to bring you (143 to be exact).

Today we bring you a very special release that goes hand-in-hand with Record of Lodoss War. It is a FANTASTIC OVA series called Fortune Quest. It is based off a manga that spoofs 8 & 16-bit RPGs and fantasy stories (like Lodoss).

They created a horrific TV series based on the franchise which had a limited release in the United States. It was called Fortune Quest L and it was nearly unwatchable. Which is a shame because it probably tainted the market for this OVA, which is really good! One of the best video game parody anime ever made.

If you like Zelda, or Final Fantasy, or Dragon Quest, (or Slayers), you’ll likely love Fortune Quest! Check it out. We went to great trouble to bring this to you. The show was never released on DVD in Japan so it is from a laserdisc source but the quality is quite reasonable.

UPDATE: $355.03 raised so far. You can be the next hero!

Hi everyone.

Since 2001, it has been our mission here at Live-eviL to bring you the best quality version we can of anime that has been overlooked. We have dedicated tens of thousands of dollars and hours to bring you classics like Rose of Versailles, Yawara, Death Note, and many others.

On rare occasions, we come across a project that we truly desire to bring you but we lack the resources to do so properly. One such project is Record of Lodoss War, aka the greatest fantasy anime ever made.

Now you might be thinking, “Wait? Hasn’t that been released on DVD?” And you’d be right. Central Park Media released it on DVD back in 1998 and again in 2002. That was over a decade ago and CPM filed bankruptcy in 2009. All subsequent releases of the show have used sub-standard video (from the awful R1 and R2 DVD releases) and CPM’s sub-standard translation. In other words, it has never had a proper, modern release.

Until now, that is. On November 29th, a remastered Blu-ray box set is being released in Japan. It costs approximately $385.

As a preview for the remastered HD Lodoss, a special airing was done on Japanese premium TV. We were able to capture episode 1 and have subtitled it as proof to you of the quality we plan to bring this series. We have given the script a line-by-line rewrite.

We are 100% confident that ours will be the greatest version of Lodoss Wars ever released. But we need your help to procure the Blu-ray box. We ask you to donate any amount you can, large or small, to help us buy these. Any funds raised in addition to the $385 will go towards two other projects we are planning. (One is one of the most influential classics that has never been fansubbed before, the other is re-doing our fan-favorite Condor Hero from R2 Japanese DVDs).
