History Anime / LegendOfLemnear

* KillAllHumans In the manga, this is the desire of the evil gods who despise humanity for their sins and corrupted Varohl to destroy them.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Multiple characters have inconsistencies in the spelling of their names, with Lemnear being just about the only one to actually have her name spelled the same way all the time:
** The BigBad is referred to at different times as Varohl, Varol and Barol.
** The slaver under him is called Vuan, Vuon, Buan and Buon.
** Lemnear's brother/companion is referred to as Mesh, Mess, Meshu and Mashu.

* TheForeignSubtitle: In Spain, the OVA received the western title with the original added as a subtitle, making it ''The Legend of Lemnear: The Dark Wings of Valquisas''.

* FatBastard: Vuan, the fat and perverted slaver working for Varohl.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Wearing only footguards seems to be a warrior custom on the setting, given than Lemnear, Mesh and other fighters follow it, while villagers (and Lemnear in her child flashbacks) don't, instead wearing regular shoes and boots.

* FatBastard: Vuan, the fat and perverted slaver working for Varchi.

A young, silver-haired warrior girl named Lemnear is on a quest to avenge the murder of her parents and her entire hometown. While trying to find Gardin, the evil sorcerer who committed the deed, she discovers she is part of an ancient prophecy predicting the downfall of the supreme overlord Barol, who has their world on his clutches. The young warrior will have to hack her way through (even) more evil sorcerers, slave harems, sinister dungeons and the mighty Castle of Valquisas in order to unveil the mystery and save the world.

* AdaptationExpansion: The manga is 18 chapters as opposed to the 45-minute original OVA, giving time for more detail about the backstory and covering more of Lemnear's travels as she fights to stop Barol, going to multiple towns instead of just one before his castle. Additionally, the character dynamics are shifted, with Lian now being Vuan's daughter instead of just his slave and Lemnear being Barol's.
