Derutora kuesuto

As someone who enjoyed these books when she was young I was ecstatic to find it had been made into an anime! While lots of adaptations from books are unfaithful, I was excited to find the same characters I adored and if not identical dialogue to the book I fell in love with.

Leif, a blacksmiths son, together with Barda and Jasmine are on a journey to rid Deltora of the evil Shadow Lord who controls all the cities and destroys happiness. To do this they must locate the seven magical stones that will overpower and destroy the Shadow lord. But the journey is perilous and will take them to the farthest reaches of Deltora to fight grizzly servants of the Shadow lord who are in possession of the stones.

Even people who have not read the book will find this series very enjoyable if they usually enjoy fantasy books or anime : )

when i heard that deltora quest was being made as an anime i was a bit worried, but its actually pretty good.

while the anime makes some small changes (most noticeably the start) the dialogue and the story are pretty much unchanged. if i had something to complain about it would be that it bothers me that one of the main characters who has been living in the forest all her life doesn't have clothes that would suggest that. anyway bassicly if you enjoy anime (even a bit) and you like deltora quest then this is worth spending your time and money on. if you hate anime or if you think your not going to like it then you should try and have a look at it before you spend money on it.

its not perfect but its pretty enjoyable

I like avanturistic stuff like Zelda, Conan,... So this anime fits in that genre. The thing why i like this anime so much is that there is represented love unlike in real world where love almost doesnt exist anymore (thats why this makes it childish in some aspect), but if you are trying to run from reality its perfect to watch. There are some puzzles which makes it interesting to watch and i wouldn't say that its predicting anime since not everything is perfect at the end. There are still some casulties at the end. I havent read the books so i cant compare between those two. Still if my brain thinks this anime is good i am accepting it.

Great characters and simple story but still fun to watch. Two things that I love are that the story is based around the gems and every guardian they fight is in cg style. I recommend watching till episode 65 which are exclusive to japan as that's where it ends.

I have to say first of all that I am NOT a fan of anime in any form. That being said, Deltora Quest is one of my favourite book series. When I heard that there was finally going to be a TV adaptation made, I had to watch it, even though it was anime.

While this series may be fairly true to the books in content, they are made in the typical anime style of OTT voices and cruddy sound effects. And don't get me started on the animation style. Fans of both anime and Deltora Quest will like this series, but fans of only DQ may find it a bit lacking in quality.

The only reason Jennifer Rowe sold the rights to OLM is because they were the only ones who assured her that they would not change the content in the series, however if they made the series like "Legend of the Seeker" (I mean production value-wise) it would be much better.
