The Legend of the Legendary Heroes

[Ryllharu]

The v2's of Commie's first two episodes of were surprisingly watchable.

EnigmaCollective has released the first episode if someone is looking for another group. [EC]The Legend of the Legendary Heroes - 01 (1280x720 h264)

--------------------------------


Even if it is coincidental in that the name of one sounds similar and it is the same VA as the other, Ferris comes off as a combination of Felli and Nina from Chrome Shelled Regios. She's a bitch like Arch said, but you have to admire her martial skill and selfish streak. She's a bad bodyguard, but I suppose she must figure Ryner can handle it.

Furthermore, in the second episode, it seems that the attitude runs in her family. She is devoted to her brother and openly accepts that he will kill her if she disobeys, and her younger sister is just as devoted to her and is a bit of a sadist.

All in all, I enjoyed the politics of this series, and the interactions between Ryner, Ferris, and Sion. The three are "friends" of a sort, but none of them particularly care for the well being of each other. Ferris only protects Sion because she was ordered to do so, and later Sion orders her to "guard" Ryner on their quest. Ryner does nothing to protect Sion, and Sion sends them both off to get killed. Then the two of them both slander him in front of others.

In a way, it reminds of the Slayers movies with Lina and Naga. It might have a good amount of comedy, but it is still a serious fantasy series. A refreshing change from the poor excuse for fantasy that has come out lately and is more about moe traits than anything else.

While a better group would be nice, I'm unquestionably interested in what happens next in the flashback.
