No, I'm not talking about the classic game by Capcom. I'm talking about the anime OVA based on thast very game. The first season Aegis of Uruk was released by Gonzo in Japanses and english sub last year directly to youtube. The second season, Sword of Uruk, started a couple weeks ago. I won't spoil the second season or the ending of the first but this is basicaly the story of the first season.
It takes place in the myhtical Tower of Druaga. A massive tower which is home to the city of Uruk on it's ground level. Every floor above that is infested with monsters with Druaga inhabiting the top floor. Every few year an event known as "the summer of Anu" come about and all the monsters are weakened for a few weeks. This is also the time when many climbers venture into the tower in search of treasure and fame. During this time the people try to push the monsters back and capture as many floors as they can. During the third summer the hero Jill after being kicked out of his brother's climbing party, attemps to climb the tower himself. He gather his own small group and sets off on his journy to defeat druaga.
It has a realy interesting story as it progresses. It has drama, action, and a little comdey. The charactor developement is pretty good, and many of the questions left hanging are slowly being answered in season two. I highly recoment watching this! Having said that though, if you do decide to watch it, don't base the series on the first episode. it was done as a joke I guess, and althopught it's funny, it does not represent the rest of the series.
