Rune Soldier Review

Up next is Rune Soldier, a series from the world of Lodess War.

The fantasy trio of Preistess Melissa, Swordswoman Genie and Thief Merrill are regular adventurers in the land of Ohfun. Needing a magician to break a seal on one of their adventures, they end up meeting the incompetent yet brawny magician Louie, who is pretty much their only option leaving the trio unimpressed. Later when Melissa undergoes a ritual under the eyes of the War God Mylee to summon a hero of whom she has to serve, Louie ends up crashing in on the ritual. Now the trio are stuck with Louie as Melissa bemoans her god saying it's against her will.
Another 00s anime although the source material is 90s, Rune Soldier delivers a rich colour palette of comedic fantasy adventure with memorable characters and unconventional RPG roles.
The idea of a brawny magician instead of the more traditional version opens up more possibilities; the jokes wear thin after a while and you can't help but shout at Melissa when she utters that it's against her will for the tenth time, we get it already.
And yes it's from the Record of Lodess War universe.
Dub isn't too bad, I've heard better.
Final Verdict: A decent fantasy comedy with strengths in its presentation and unconventional RPG setups only let down by jokes that wear thin after a while.
