Hey, can anyone put up Adeu's Legend and then put up related anime on it as Ryu Knight?

I do have a link with Cels on it, so the OAV does exist:

Also I've seen both Adeu's Legend and Ryu Knight selling on Ebay as Hong Kong DVDs aka bootlegs. When do you think Bandai will notice this and try to license Ryu Knight from Bandai/Sunrise of Japan?

Ok, I've added Lord of Lords Ryu Knight: Adeu's Legend (OAV) (though you could easily have submitted it yourself), but in order to add the TV series as related anime, I need to know what's the relationship between the two exactly. Which one came first? Is the 2nd one a sequel, or a prequel, or a remake, or something else?

As for licensing... this is in the department of Zac's magic divination monkey! Anime smile

The Ryu Knight TV series came out first and the Adeu's Legend OAV came out second. There was also a two part TV special, but I have a hard time finding any info on it. Also the OAV is a remake with some changes (like Adeu with red hair instead of brown), it was to be more serious than TV series and probably why some Japanese fans didn't like it as much as the first TV series. I have fansubs of the first four esp.s from the OAV, but none from the TV series.

As for Licensing: I do think that since Ryu Knight involves Mecha, Bandai could get it from Bandai/Sunrise of Japan. However, I really doubt they will pick up the 52 esp. TV series and would rather pick up the OAV which is only around 13-15 esp.s.
