The heart of the problem is simply that ZEXCS, like many other studios, have made a screenplay that is nothing more than a "cut and paste" rendition of the original source material. This is exacerbated by the constant mood swings that occur from one episode to the next, and the addition of seemingly random comedy scenes give the viewer the sense that even the show itself has no idea what's going to happen next. 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.
THE LEGEND OF THE LEGENDARY HEROES RYNER SERIES

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. Considering Ryder is the greatest magician in Roland, I would have liked to see him using a lot of different spells, but instead he seemed to have a half dozen or so.These days we often misuse words in ways that sometimes don't make sense.
They used that spell a lot, which is kind of a shame. It was like all the characters were firmly aware of being in an anime, and acted accordingly, rather than like real people.Īnd lol at Izuchi. On one hand all of these series things are happening, but on the other you have Kings running off to do all kinds of things, people barging into offices, high ranking officials just showing up all over the place with no retinue or followers or assistants, etc.
THE LEGEND OF THE LEGENDARY HEROES RYNER FULL
That's why it was a shame that it wasn't just prevented from reaching its full potential by how silly the comedy was, but by how no one seemed to ever act like their station, either. This was downright schizophrenic, going back and forth in a way that was utterly bewildering.Īnd yeah, the universe did seem very dark and brutal. Haha, really? I found Re:Zero made lots, lots more sense in its storyline and pacing and more or less consistent atmosphere.
