About Ladius

Here is what Ladius (魔境外伝レ・ディウス) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, adventure and mecha anime by Ashi Productions (1987). What the story covers: 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 power to even restore life; but unfortunately for Riot, the evil Demsters are after it too.

As an action title, 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.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

On the casting side, Norio Wakamoto voicing Kaiser gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 1987, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
