The TV series is only in DVD format.
The OVA series was something I first saw as a teenager, half of it airing on the old Sci-Fi channel on weekends before anime was just starting to take off in the U.S.. The series tells like an extended Dungeons and Dragons campaign, complete with a varied cast of many races and classes, as well as warring kingdoms, sorcery, various monsters, cursed relics, and the cataclysmic return of destructive gods.
While today's average anime has the hero draw impossible strength and abilities from seemingly nothing to overcome impossible odds, that isn't the case here: The human soldier Parn is amazingly as human as you can imagine. Dedicated to following in the footsteps of his father and dreaming of becoming a knight, he'll face many opponents but most times be outmatched, and depend on the skills of his friends and comrades to overcome odds. It's not a series where the hero always wins, the fact that the series has 'war' in its title should tell you that anyway. It tells numerous tales that take a little bit to follow, mysterious characters that keep you wondering, and sometimes unanswered questions.
Seeing it released with a TV series on Blu-Ray was exciting to me, and seemed moderately priced... and after looking, I understand why.
Each series is enclosed in its own protective case, the both of them held by a collector's box. The OVA series box contains 4 discs, 2 DVD and 2 Blu-Ray. Something you come to expect when you buy movies nowadays.
The TV series however revealed a disappointing fact: Despite it being in a Blu-Ray box, the 4 discs inside are DVD only. Since the boxset states that it contains both series in Blu-Ray and DVD, it's technically not false advertising, but it's still disappointing. I blame Funimation since they were the ones who snapped up the license after Media Blasters dropped the idea.
Overall I still like the collector's box, and while the original series is so old that the blu-ray upscaling hardly makes a difference, it was still worth going back to my teenage years to watch again. I have to bump it back to 3 stars because of the TV series bungle though.
