I wish more series would get the OVA treatment much like Jojo's bizarre adventure did during the 90s and 00's. I think it's much better for runtimes instead of working around 18-20 minute chunks of plot being put out on a weekly basis you give someone 30+ minutes and a month or two between releases; and I think it would make it easier to organize the chapters leading up to the red dragon, while also making that an episode to itself.

OVAs don't sell DVDs or merch like actual series do. Also airing of anime also generates more revenue and hype than OVA (or ONAs). Even still they'd probably do a variation of the streaming episode model where episodes are still ~25 minutes, but there's a minute or two of flex because it's online. But it's still an entire series because nothing kills hype faster than extended downtime between episodes.

Isn't the mad sorcerer a lich? Like their whole thing is they did too much evil magic and now they're immortal and in control of a big evil dungeon.

I think, maybe? I got more the impression that they were some kind of spirit or something. At least, not a classic, has-a-phylactery, style lich.

They will make stone soup out of the phylactery with the elf subjugation squad and everyone will resolve their differences over food

Are there translations of the little Senshi's Diary pack-ins that they put in Harta? I found an advert for one and some photos on Tumblr, but nothing complete.

Nah, Laius is just pining for a Kobold to join the party. You get the best of both worlds, a canine companion but smart enough and humanoid enough to navigate the dungeon.

While I laughed at Marcille's succubus, I'm extremely disappointed it didn't take the form of Farlyn. :mad:

What makes you think that elf is man? Also, I hope we see what breed of dog came for Laius.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

I like that Izutsumi is making a 'blegh' face on the cover. She hates mushrooms.

Also the 'energy drained' party members are kinda great?

Turns out, Laius was actually overestimating Marcille's age in the last chapter, not underestimating it.

She's an edgy teenager, after all.
