Legend of Lemnear

If you're a fan of Frank Frazetta, or sexy fantasy/adventure, then this is totally up your alley. Legend Of Lemnear was a 3-volume manga by Plastic Little creators Kinji Yoshimoto and Satoshi Urushihara, and was later adapted into this 45-minutes OVA.Set in a Conan-styled world, Lemnear is a bikini-clad warrior woman on a pterodactyl searching the landscape for the evil wizard Gardein that killed her family. This leads her to a city in the middle of the desert ruled by a lard-ass sultan who has the most bitchin' topless harem ever, but is also in the pocket of Gardein, and his master, the Dark Lord Varhol. Lemnear gets caught, and enslaved by the evil sultan, but encounters an old Gandalf dude who tells her she is the "Champion of Silver", and presents her with a magical necklace. After being temporarily hypnotized by the sultan, she breaks free and heads out after Gardein. She flies up on her big bird, and follows him to a giant floating fortress which is Varhol's lair. He absorbs Gardein into himself revealing that he was really a part of him all along, and that he is was the Champion of Gold. His plan was to absorb Lemnear and her captured friend Messhu(who is the Champion of Bronze)to become all powerful. Varhol then morphs into a two-headed dragon for a fight that Dirk the Daring would've survived. But Lemnear escapes with Messhu on her pterodactyl, and Varhol morphs again into a stone giant the size of a skyscraper. It takes the combine powers of Silver and Bronze to finally smite him down.Urushihara did some amazingly vibrant artwork for this, and there is truly vivid animation by AIC, whose work is seen in numerous anime movies and OVAs to this day. Most people think there's alot of similarities between this and the Taarna character from the Heavy Metal movie, mainly that she's a hot white-haired Red Sonja girl with flying dinosaur in a desolate wasteland, although this one is more fantasy-based, and is way heavier into fan service. It doesn't have much in the ways of substance, but is pretty good at least for fans of old Japanese NES fantasy games.

I finally found this and it's now part of my collection. I watched this years ago and I just had to get this on dvd.

This is a good movie for teenage boys. Other than that I felt that the story was rushed, it wasn't for me.

legend of lemnear lived up to my expectatations i expected a good and watching it it definitely was thank you

Wow was this good, there was more fan service in 45 minutes of Legend of Lemnear than there was in the whole of Agent Aika. The character designs are amazing, the animation is awesosme and you see half the time seeing nude women, including the main protagonist.My favorite scene is where you see a king surrounded by nothing but naked womens slaves who he has under his evil trance and he fondles one of the slave girls freely without consequence. It was an epic moment that bordered on hentai but it was etched in my mind ever since.Considering you pick this up for a few dollars, this hardcore anime with extreme nudity is as good as it gets in terms of pirce.Rating - A

Legend of Lemnear has amazing graphical quality despite its age. Too bad that this 45 minute "movie" has bad dubbing, not much of a plot, and shallow characters. But, it's done by Satoshi Urushihara, so you can except some really detailed visuals and a good deal of nudity. The theme song is also good, as is the background music, although it tends to drop in and out of tune every ten seconds or so. I don't know if it's just my copy. The last fight against Veroll and his four (!) forms was actually pretty cool, and had a sweet background song to it, audio problems aside. But as it stands, it's too short. There's not much of a plot to it, but the animation was definitely its main point. A decent rent.

The Legend of Lemnear through sheer stupidity attained a legendarily bad ranking in my book. This movie takes the attitude "plot? Who needs it! " I'm not sure of the release date of the movie Heavy Metal, but I have a distinct and sickening feeling that this entire movie was just an adaptation of the *well done* last sequence of that film. The fact that it took itself seriously was one of the worst things about this film. I mean, come on, funny haired chick wears little or no armor seeking revenge on Big Bad Guy? And the idea for the prophesy was pitiful. Read correctly, the main character's only purpose was to stick around so that the "champion of bronze" guy could whoop up on the bad guy. Blech.

我が家の国産BDレコーダーで再生できました。　言語は「英語のみ」「日本語のみ」「英語＋英語字幕」「日本語＋英語字幕」からの選択式で、字幕を気にすることなく日本語で楽しめます。　ただし、国内LD版(国内DVD版は未確認)に入っていたプロモ版のオマケ映像はなく、エンディングも海外スタッフ版のみですので、それが気にならない方ならオススメします！　私は買ってよかったと思ってます！
