A single OVA episode that feels like a complete sword-and-sorcery film from an era when anime still trusted you to follow a story without exposition dumps. The animation stutters and drops, but when it moves it has weight. This is pure 80s dark fantasy, no cute mascots, no power scaling, just a man deciding between vengeance and something better, set against castles and sorcery that actually feel dangerous.

Amon carries a singular purpose: hunt down whoever caused his mother's death, no matter how far the trail leads. His pursuit takes him to Valhiss, where he enlists in the Emperor's army hoping to get close enough for revenge. But everything changes when he meets Princess Lichia, held captive in the fortified city as a bargaining chip between the Emperor and a rival ruler, King Darai-Sem. The Emperor intends to trade her for a map the king possesses, though his true aim remains unclear. Faced with a choice between his consuming vendetta and a chance to help save a lost kingdom, Amon must decide whether revenge is worth the cost. This sword-and-sorcery adventure sets its hero loose in a harsh world of magic and intrigue.
