Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu

"Alpha Stigma" are known to be eyes that can analyze all types of magic. However, they are more infamously known as cursed eyes that can only bring destruction and death to others.

Ryner Lute, a talented mage and also an Alpha Stigma bearer, was once a student of the Roland Empire's Magician Academy, an elite school dedicated to training magicians for military purposes. However, after many of his classmates died in a war, he makes an oath to make the nation a more orderly and peaceful place, with fellow survivor and best friend, Sion Astal.

Now that Sion is the king of Roland, he orders Ryner to search for useful relics that will aid the nation. Together with Ferris Eris, a beautiful and highly skilled swordswoman, Ryner goes on a journey to search for relics of legendary heroes from the past, and also uncover the secrets behind his cursed eyes.

Legend of the Legendary Heroes is one of those anime that kind of sneaks up on you. At first, it looks like your typical fantasy setup — kingdoms fighting, magic flying around, everyone looking dramatic with capes and cool eyes — but pretty soon, you realize there’s way more going on.

The characters are surprisingly deep, with personalities that bounce between hilarious and heartbreakingly serious. One minute you’re laughing at some goofy banter, and the next you’re questioning the morality of the entire world. It’s like eating a dongo — sweet on the outside, but sometimes you bite in and go, “Wait, why am I suddenly ... sad?”

The show does a great job mixing humor, action, and emotional storytelling. The pacing isn’t perfect — it can drag in a few spots — but it builds up an interesting world with solid political intrigue and some genuinely good twists.

Animation-wise, it’s pretty solid for its time, and the fights are fun to watch. The music also hits just right — dramatic when it needs to be, calm when it counts.

If you’re into fantasy anime with strong character dynamics, a little bit of darkness, and a dash of comedy, Legend of the Legendary Heroes is absolutely worth your time. Just don’t get too comfortable — this show’s like that dongo that looks all cute and harmless but might emotionally wreck you halfway through.

Mixed Feelings

ok so first of all its not for those who like a straightforward plot that goes straight af (like me lol)
lol anyways coming back to it ..at first, story was clear and stuff and felt like ur average world changing anime
but as it goes later u realize things getting more complicated and that the hate for the mc and his kind you dont get much about at first is elaborated further in later part
tbh its a good anime that takes the word changing thing on a realistic path and that its really difficult for one dude to do it with literally his ... own charisma and his resolve which is shown in many anime
i like stories whwere no one is bad and this was one of them so i liked it as everyone got their own reasons in this
the comedy exits but it might not be good for many as it is kinda...dull ig?
voice acting is good ,art style is good
BUT lol u know what? the anime lacks smthing definitely
that is plot progression
like many incidents happened but i didnt feell the plot progression much ,...its more like a stalement so basically this 24 ep anime is more or less the prologue ...actually no thats not accurate..its more like an anime in which the first half is used to strengthen the resolve of mc and his party and the later half is the one in which they take action ...hmm its basically that excepyt the whole season is the part that focus on character understanding, bonding and development
for the more important part u gonna read the manga which i am gonna do now

Minor spoilers ahead

So I just finished watching this anime and I like to describe it in 2 words; Disappointing and Unsatisfying. Watching episodes 1-10 was like a challenge for me, it was so boring and all of the elements which the anime mixed up is not satisfying to watch.

A little bit of gore and dark/edgy genre, then they will add this unnecessary comedy scenes which completely ruins the mood. This anime was a rollercoaster of genres which is not compatible with each other, dark/edgy and comedy. Too much of those and you will produce some cringy scenes.

To be honest I really have hopes ... that the story will be a little better from what I expected, but no its not. The legend of legendary heroes has so many potential but it is all wasted because of its unnecessary mix of genre and its minimal progress. I'm really disappointed. The story just gets better for me in ep 20 but after watching 23 which is a shitload of cringy and filler episode which makes the build up curiosity of mine just shattered into pieces.

The ending? It really sucks, I'm hoping that the mc will finally grow feelings to the fmc as she harbors feelings to him but no. Still dumbass and just consider her as his partner. Like yeah I'm okay if there is no progress in the main conflict of the king but at least make a progress of love interest between ryner and ferris. But no, it was all left to a cliffhanger. To the fact that this anime has 24 episodes but still no concrete progress of the king's conflict and between ryner and ferris is such a waste to watch.

Overall: I really wasted my time watching this anime, unlike all of the anime I've watched this is the only anime that I gained nothing after watching it. So if you have some spare time to waste and just looking for an interesting plot. Watch this, but if you are asking me please don't. I really gave this anime many chances to improve as I want to like it but in the end. I just really wanted to finish it to know on how it will end.
