AniWorthLegend of Crystania: The Motion Picture
Introduction
Lord Haven watches over a secluded village in the realm of Djana En. Redon, his son, feels unsatisfied with his tranquil yet dull life of assisting the townsfolk in their labor. When his parents are suddenly assassinated, Redon must flee the village with a handful of companions. As the group is cornered at the edge of "God's Wall," the mystical snakeskin that seals off Djana En from the rest of the world, a voice beckons to Redon. It urges him to enter a fresh opening in the wall and travel to the fabled land of Crystania, where he can obtain incredible power.
Without any other options, Redon and his comrades escape through the mysterious passage, only to find a Crystania far different than how the legends picture it. Faced with danger and shape-shifting beastmen, Redon and his party wonder if they stumbled into someplace worse than where they came from. Things take a favorable turn, however, when the group meets a pair of travelers knowledgeable about the tumultuous state of Crystania.

6.25/10 ~ More Lodoss that isnt Louie
As several people have mentioned, as much as this is technically a standalone piece I would recommend watching this after watching the Lodoss TV Show: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, as this ties into what happens to Sir Ashrem the Black Knight and Pirotess after they left Lodoss to find a new land. And or reading the Novels all of this is based off of, Unfortunately just watching the original OVA Series wont due this much justice at all.
Pros:
-High Fantasy 80/90's goodness
--swords and sorcery
-more Lodoss that isnt Louie and all of his fan service
-a straight forward story that is easy to follow
-world feels lived in
-THE DEMON SWORD ACTUALLY HAS PURPOSE, this went so hard
Cons:
-kinda jank animation despite being from the golden age
-bad Engli…

May include minor spoilers. Alright, since there's no review here, I decided to write one and try and keep it short. Try. Legend of Crystania is a rather average movie overall, but even with all it's flaws I still managed to enjoy it, because I went into it expecting it to be almost exactly as it is: average.
Flaws - First and foremost, LoC suffers greatly from it's short length; there's dozens of loose ends and plot-holes and just general shortcuts/skip. Someone is locked in a room and can't bust out? Next scene they're rejoining the main group with no real explanation as to how they got out. And that's not nearly the worst of it; the anime is incomplete, possibly needing the OVAs eps for conclusion, though I've yet to see them, so I can't tell for sure (judging by the description of the…
