![]() Their relationship is 70% one running joke and 30% serious moments with no real progress between them, because they’re only sentimental when the show calls for it. Unfortunately, this scene is a running gag throughout the show that turns the Ryner and Ferris duo from simple to cringeworthy.Much of the show follows Ryner and Ferris’ adventures, meaning much of that time focuses on their relationship, which is Ferris calling Ryner a pervert for no reason Ryner doesn’t so much as see a pantyshot from Ferris, so it’s not even clichéd in the way it should be, but outright unbelievable. The lazy Ryner and steadfast Ferris aren’t anything beyond that in the first episode, with the only noticeable interplay between them being a scene where Ferris calls Ryner a pervert. But instead of creating a brainless fantasy flick for dumb people like myself, the show adopts a taste for complexities with writing that leaves a bad taste.The story opens with two of the three main characters, the wizard Ryner and the knight Ferris, as they journey across the continent of Menoris in search of powerful Hero Relics to aid our third main character, the High King of Roland, Sion. First impressions from the title alone gave a sense it was trying too hard to be epic, but that didn’t matter since I expected “Legend of the Legendary Heroes” to be a fun, clichéd romp. It could be the greatest dub ever.I often think that as long as I know what to expect from a show, it couldn’t disappoint me. Imagine a heavily promoted shitfest featuring their best, popular yet somehow shit, over used voice actors. It could've been replaced with Just Communication and no one would've noticed.Īt this point the only thing to look forward to is when Funimation releases a dub. The opening track, too, is nothing worth remembering. It's been ages since I've seen a show where they've done the triangle mouth, drop of water, anger hash, and footprint on the face type of shit. The animation is pretty lack luster, while the character designs and outfits look like rejected designs from Slayers. There could have been some game changing 'holy shit' statements in there they missed… but no, I don't think so. To be fair, the subs I were watching weren't that great. The same with Ryner's internal monologue at the end, another poor attempt to expand his character, which falls flat. The bit where Astal reunites the brother and sister comes off as a poorly contrived effort to expand on Astal's character. They're so boring and uninteresting that it's painful. The story and characters come off as generic as they could possibly get. If there's even an ounce of potential in this series, you wouldn't get that idea from the first episode. ![]() It's like a collection of all the usual suspects from the 90's sword & magic fantasy era. Wow, Legend of the Legendary Heroes seems to be recycled horse shit. Toward the end of the episode, white exploring some ruins, Ryner and Ferris are attacked by a large monster, only to be saved by a relic of the Legendary Heroes. They help reunite a brother and sister who were separated, an act that seems mind numbingly irrelevant. We're also introduced to some of Astal's cohorts, whom there's nothing remotely interesting to report about. While everyone seems to love him Ferris refutes his depiction as a hero, but as a demon and usurper instead. Meanwhile, back in their own nation their king, Sion Astal, strives to unite the world. Turns out she's after them because they're "fugitives and users of illegal magic!" Although it's quite obvious Milk and her squad aren't the least bit prepared for their task. They're secretly being followed by a talkative, troublesome girl, Captain Milk Callaud. Ryner on the other hand… your stereotypical not so bright slacker. She's your stereotypical bossy in charge character. He's accompanied by Ferris, a blonde beauty, who knows how to handle a sword. A wielder of this Alpha Stigma, who's on a quest from his home country of Roland for artifacts of the Legendary Heroes. Jumping forward to the era of the show, we're introduced to Ryner. He was the wielder of a new power known as Alpha Stigma. Ages ago a group of demons threatened the whole world, only to be saved by a man known as the Legendary Hero. The first episode starts off with a little history lesson. It's being produced by Zexcs and is licensed by Funimation here in the US. It's based off a 11 volume light novel series that ran between 20. The Synopsis Legend of the Legendary Heroes is set in a mythic land of magic and sword play.
