The narrative suffers from a distinct lack of timely explanations, and events can lead the audience on a merry dance as they struggle to keep up with the storyline. Viewers may often find themselves wondering how a particular situation came about, and while there are efforts to tie up certain loose ends, these are nothing more than papering over the cracks. The main issues with Denstsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (DenYuuDen), are the lack of coherency with the story and the constantly changing pace of the plot. This in itself isn't a bad thing though, as these staples are often used to drive home a particular point, or as support for the main storyline.Īnd this anime really does need the support.
The pair have been tasked with finding and acquiring the legendary artifacts known as the Relics of Heroes, which lie hidden in various places across the continent of Menoris.Īs with any fantasy tale there's an element of derivation inherent in the plot which results in several very familiar scenarios being played out over the course of the series.
Accompanying him on his journey is the warrior and perpetual dango addict Ferris Eris, a woman who may be a genius with a sword, but is pretty clueless with almost everything else (except dango). The story begins with an attack by the Nelphan army on the person of Ryner Lute, a layabout who is on a mission for his trusted friend, boss, and cause of all of his problems, King Sion Astal of Roland. Now aside from mild curiosity at the obvious addiction to using the words "legend" and "hero" in some manner, one has to wonder if the anime adaptation can really live up to the popularity of the franchise.
#LEGEND OF LEGENDARY HEROES ANIME SERIES#
eleven volume light novel series by Kagami Takaya was published in Dragon Magazine from February 2002 until October 2006 and has spawned a sequel (The Legend of the Great Heroes of Legend), and two spin offs (The Legend of the Legendary Heroes Anyway, and The Legend of the Black Fallen Hero), as well as being adapted as a drama CD, a PSP game, a manga, and the recent anime rendition. It's actually surprising how many people don't know the meaning or usage of the word, but rather than comment on the failure of education systems, let's have a look at how "epic" applies to an anime like Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (or The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, whatever floats your boat). Take "epic" for example, and think about all of the occasions where the term has been applied as a colloquialism that simply means "I enjoyed it", "it was very good", or some other sentiment along those lines. The seemingly callous methodology of mass producing these crystals as weapons of war is not lost of them, as Lir, Sui, Kuu (all dispatches from Gastark) are seen intent on doing the above as a secondary objective.These days we often misuse words in ways that sometimes don't make sense. These crystal forms of various Stigma are then usable as items in combat, each crystal containing immense power within, as seen by its use primarily by the nation of Gastark. This is possibly due to his half of the Lonely Devil inside him. Ryner Lute is the first case in which a user has been able to return to sanity after going on a rampage. Others like Torch Curse, Will Heim, and Ryner's Tear Stigma have only been seen in the manga and light novel thus far and not the anime, but are referred to.Ĭrystallization occurs by disruption of the user's eyes or mind, which drives the user to the edge of madness and beyond, allowing the crystal to be gouged out. While the majority of people refer to the Magic Eyes as "Demon Eyes," the bearers themselves have taken to calling them "God's Eyes." The three most common types seen throughout the anime series are: the Alpha Stigma, Lino Doue, and Ebra Crypt. Once a person is confirmed a bearer they and their close family and friends are killed.
Despite their increased magical power, or perhaps because of it, Magic Eye bearers are almost universally hated and feared in all known countries. A Stigma ( スティグマ, Sutiguma ) is an ocular condition with six variations, the Magic Eyes give their hosts incredible inherent magical abilities.
