The thing with Druaga is this:

1. It’s a parody of video games and RPGs, and fantasy in general.

2. The first series’ actual story is hindered by it’s fun-humor, that it keeps the audience from taking it serious.

3. The ending will make you want to see more!

So we have the sequel. Some time passes, and Jil, the hero from before, has been betrayed by some of his closest friends leaving him saddened and un-motivated.

Sure they manage to defeat Druaga, but the aftermath is definately not what Jil had anticipated…

His former comrades are either dead or missing, and all he left with are bitter memories, and remnants of his brother’s former party…

The next chapter, Sword of Uruk, focuses more on the world that they are in, the reasons behind the sudden betrayal, and the integrity of Jil and his obsessive drive to be a “hero”, even if being a hero is not what is necessary…

Funimation, again, dubbed and licensed this fun gem, and used the same VA’s as before. Todd is a wonderful pick for Jil, Chuck and Monica create a lively and strangely unique party of Melt and Coopa, and Travis as Neeba plays a self-assured, yet properly motivated person, whose intents are bigger than anyone in this series’ universe!

Funimation has also added a 5.1 surround to it for better depth.

It’s funny, it’s action-packed, it’s clever, and it’s FINAL! The sequel will finish off what has been left behind, and it will leave you smiling throughout it’s harmless, easy adventure!
