[quote="Nappy"]ovas are really good, and I really like the tv series as well but theres a decent difference in the animation quality, but the story is just as good. If you watch the OVA then the TV series you might think its repeating, basicly they couldn't finish the whole series as OVAs so they made a new ending, if you watch the tv series u basicly want to ignore the last few OVAs.quote]
Quick info here...
Both animes were based on a series of books (also called Record of Lodoss War)
The OAV was based on the books, but not very closely.
The TV Series is much more accurate to the books... but since SOME of the same events were shown in the OAV, they had to redo the scenes despite the fact that the scenes had already happened in the OAV.
Furthermore, since the OAV was made, they tried to start later in the books so that the 2 would mesh slightly...
This information may not be accurate, but it was the explanation I got from my friend who did the subtitles.
