Mostly because he is the bearer of what is known as the Alpha Stigma, cursed eyes that allow him to analyze magic in an instant, and be able to cast any spell he sees even partially completed. Ryner is actually an incredibly lazy person, who wants nothing to do with responsibility, and actively avoids getting involved with people. First off, there’s Ryner Lute, the most powerful mage in the entire country of Roland, when he isn’t trying to sneak away for a nap. The use of magic in Legendary Heroes is one of the most well thought out and interesting ideas of the entire world setting, with each nations magic looking and sounding different, but retaining just enough commonality that you can tell it sprang from a single source.Īs for the characters, there’s a lot, so I’m going to focus on the main trio. I mean, tell me that any nation will let random folks wander around throwing fireballs willy nilly about the countryside, and I’ll sell you some ocean front property in Colorado. Each magic is a closely guarded secret, as magic is primarily used by the military for combat purposes, which actually makes a lot of sense. Every nation has their own approach, and their own spells.
My biggest praise, however, has to go to the use of magic in this show. This is the backdrop against which much of the story is built, and what informs pretty much every single character, so it is a big part of the story. The nobles of these nations are fine with that, as is most of the royalty. Okay, so, everything takes place on a single continent, home to several nations, which are constantly in a state of war, or threatening to be. There’s also a deep mythology behind the world, which is always nice, but leads to most of the problems as well. The world needs to be saved, and how the various characters go about trying to do that leads to much of the conflict of the series. Which is more or less the overarching plot of the story, when we get down to it.
It feels like a real world, a place people live, and one worth saving. Since there’s a big cast, summing it up would be difficult and long winded.įirst off, the world building done for Legendary Heroes is absolutely amazing. Mostly because there are a lot of plot threads, and sub-plots running through this thing, with pretty much every characters having their own. For this particular series, it really is a better approach.

Rather than do a full synopsis for the show, which would be extremely time consuming, I want to touch on the parts of the show that work, then the parts that don’t, before getting into the animation, music and so on. Besides being an example of a good light novel adaptation, the characters and the plot are very well constructed, for the most part.
#LEGEND OF LEGENDARY HEROES CHARACTERS SERIES#
Released in 2010 from studio Zexcs, The Legend Of The Legendary Heroes manages to have the second dumbest name anyone can give a fantasy themed anime series, beat out only by Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? But only barely, because both of those are horrid names for shows that actually offer a lot of good material.īased on a series of light novels by Takaya Kagami, Legendary Heroes follows a large cast of characters as their lives intertwine, and begin to shape the fate of an entire continent.
Maybe we should move on before things get weird.
Just one of the many things I am willing to do to please you, my precious readers. Which, actually, was quiet painful, so you know. While there is praise to be a’heapin, there’s also flaws to be a’scoldin. If you’ve ever felt tired of me constantly heaping praise on shows, or only watching shows that I get to constantly heap praise upon, well here’s your change of pace.
