Ladius English Sub & Dub

About Ladius

Ladius (魔境外伝レ・ディウス) blends action, adventure and mecha by Ashi Productions (1987). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. 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 ability to even restore life; but unfortunately for Riot, the evil Demsters are after it too.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kaiser (Norio Wakamoto) and Riot (Kazuki Yao) are two of the characters you will meet early.

It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
