There’s a lot of old-school 2D-pixel JRPG animation, noticeable mainly in the outro, but in other scenes too. And then there’s the parody aspect of this anime. These sound like weapons from Monster Hunter to me. Yet some of these things feel very familiar, like the shield with the blade it ejects and the spear with a tip that can spin like a drill. The designs of the setting and weapons all seem nice and fantastical, some of these were ideas I’d never even thought of before. Of course with a few exceptions like Jil who look typical as all hell. The style seems somewhat unoriginal, but a closer inspection of the characters reveals that some effort was put in to make them look distinctive.

The 720p version didn’t improve significantly over the 480p version in the end. Thus I’m disappointed in the limited release in HD, the lack of availability and just the quality overall.

But not that much better, even at mid distance, the detail and quality start to reduce and you realise that 1080p is hard to find because the low quality didn’t warrant making enough copies. I did watch the second half of it in 720p, which initially looked much better defined, with the quality a 2008 anime should have. It looks like 720p and even 1080p quality exists, but the chances of finding the 1080p version was very low, let alone finding 720p in dual audio. The quality wasn’t terrible, there were no major flaws, but it was likely the resolution was holding it back. While fairly detailed, it didn’t look as clear as anime does nowadays. The animation quality is average for a 2008 anime, if you watch it in 480p. At no point is modern day Japan or high-school life featured. Can such an anime redeem itself? One thing is for sure, the intro doesn’t seem fully representative of this anime. It’s slow to get going, it doesn’t really start till the 4th episode. And it also has a sequel, suggesting the story is incomplete. This is one of those anime whose 1st episode is not representative of the whole series. Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk is a 12 episode fantasy action anime set in an RPG-like medieval world, featuring a little comedy here and there.
