Gensou Sangokushi: Tengen Reishinki

In spite of their defeat, the remnant factions of the Taipingtao Revolution continue to resist, plunging China into a seemingly never-ending war. Moreover, the negative emotions left behind by the rebellion's massive death toll begin to form miasma—giving birth to malignant beings called the "wangliang." These creatures can possess humans and turn them into horrifying demons, thus bringing about more deaths and miasma and spinning a vicious cycle that inflicts further despair upon the land.

As a countermeasure, the immortal deities known as the "Tianyuan" select certain individuals to be "Hunters." Accompanying them are the "Guizhan," specialists created by the Tianyuan who can absorb miasma and transform into demons themselves, acting as indispensable weapons against the wangliang.

After a tragic accident involving an out-of-control Guizhan causes the disbandment of the Sixth Hunter Unit, the Tianyuan designate three promising Hunters—namely Ji Ying, Qiao Xun, and Yan Ding—to reform the group. However, for an unknown reason, the Tianyuan also appoint Xiao Ling—the young Guizhan responsible for the former unit's downfall—to fight alongside the trio. Despite growing tensions, the members of the revived team must settle their differences and collectively use their abilities to attain victory against the common enemy.

Realm of Meh.

Fantasia Sango: Realm of Legends is y’know, there. It’s another anime about a god (I think) sending a crew of heroes to slay demons or the forces of evil except this one is set in China.

I like the main four characters. They have cool character designs and they have good chemistry as a group (after episode 3). I especially like Ouki’s power to create spells from a magic pen brush and Shunkyou’s weird musical powers which she uses to get into the minds of her foes. Shourei’s ability to take in the evil miasma of spirits and become a demon herself is ... pretty cool yet cliché.

The problem with this show is that there’s not a lot to say about it due to its mediocre story and acceptable fights. There’s just much better anime airing this season which are doing the same thing. I can see a hypothetical person enjoying this show if they’ve never been exposed to much anime. Everything from its animation to its dialogue to its story is inoffensive and fine, but why would watch this when you could upgrade to Orient and then upgrade to Sabikui Bisco or Demon Slayer if you haven’t finished it?

I’m sorry this review is so short, but Realm of Legends is an inoffensive realm of meh for me even though I do think there would be some audience who would enjoy it.

5/10 Mediocre.

Preliminary (8/12 eps)

So, note that if you want to really watch and enjoy this anime you need to get beyond episode 3 cause that's where they start to be a real team and progress on the story itself

Story: 6 | It's about 4 people that are assembled as a team and are asked by a "god" to follow the missions she has for them.

Art: 6 | The art is not bad, and it's not awesome either, it's enough and has cool effects sometimes.

Sound: 6 | I guess.

Characters: 7 | 4 main characters, all with different styles, abilities, feelings, and purposes, I really liked them and ... they carry the anime after episode 3.

Enjoyment: 6 | I watched it while doing some other chores so I can't say I enjoyed it, but it was nice to watch in the end.

Not Recommended

If there was a significant thing to say about this anime, it's that even as a Southeast Asian, I have NEVER heard of this series before, and that's saying something. Gensou Sangokushi, translated as Fantasia Sango, is a series that was developed by Taiwanese company UserJoy Technology and ONLY exclusively released in its home country, which I don't quite understand how that would ever translate to popularity outside of Taiwan, since the game is quite popular over there.

And apparently someone at Geek Toys must've realized that this game exists, so an anime is commissioned to spread the name over to other regions, which for the ... life of me, I don't understand why is there a need for this. So get this, an anime adaptation of a very obscure game, exclusively broadcasted in an obscure Japanese TV station (BS12 Twellv World Hi-Vision Channel), and being the first new anime in the channel's newly launched late-night anime programming block. The result is just one: faded into obscurity.

Nonetheless, since no one watches this show, I'll just make this review speakeasy: it's based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the only difference is adding an evil element to it. You can either read the MAL Rewrite or Wikipedia's version for it, both will be the same informative synopsis. Add a ragtag team of people to hunt down evil spirits known as the Wangliang, and that's just it. It's dull, boring, even to the point of being a sleeping fest, and it's even a miracle that I've followed this from start to finish.

It honestly feels a waste when something good is used for an obscure show like this, and it lies with the OST. Machico's OP "ENISHI" and LACCO TOWER's ED "Uso" are honestly songs worthy to be listened to on its own. It's just that the use case here, I can't fathom the belief that such great songs are used for an obscure anime in this state.

Just take my advice: watch any other show, even if it's good or bad trash, and forget that this show ever existed.
