About Ladius

If you are hunting for a new action series, Ladius (魔境外伝レ・ディウス) deserves a look (1987). The setup goes like this. The setup: In a post-apocalyptic world, the treasure hunter Riot and his pretty sidekicks are searching for Eyes of Zalem, which they hope will guide them to Rido, the treasure of a long-lost Quall civilization. A limitless energy source, the Rido has the strength to even restore life; but unfortunately for Riot, the evil Demsters are after it too.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Norio Wakamoto as Kaiser and Kazuki Yao as Riot.

This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Ashi Productions is the studio behind Ladius, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion.
