Legend of the Legendary Heroes

so i picked this show purely bc of its name. i figured it would not only be bad but also completely, unbearably predictable. and it's really let me down on that front.

not only is it pretty good, but it also diverges from a lot of the anime norms

Ryner Lute is a lazy student of the Roland Empire Royal Magician's Academy. One day, the Roland Empire goes to war against their neighboring country Estabul, and Ryner loses his classmates in the war. After the war, Ryner sets out on a journey to search the relics of a "Legendary Hero" at King Sion Astal's command.

overall i'd rate the show an 8. it's not actually hugely unpredictable, but it is a lot more unpredictable than most anime. definitely a solid action anime that won't leave you bored

I had to look up the japenese name of this because i thought that "Legend of the Legendary Heroes" was just a weird translation of the actual name cause its just so dumb sounding, but no, Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu is its name so its even weirder in japenese since densetsu is there twice, at least in english its changed slightly from legend to legendary

It seems like it would be confusing having it be exactly the same, but maybe theres a way that japenese speakers know what is meant from the context or position of each densetsu, its even written exactly the same, its written like this "伝説の勇者の伝説" and 伝説 is there twice so it must be densetsu の is too short to be densetsu so の must be no and 勇者 must be yuusha

I guess when 伝説 is before の it means legend and when its after の it means legendary, and if they want to write "of the legend" they have another way of writing it, although "of the legend" would be a weird way to phrase something but i dont think you cant phrase it that way


I might watch it at some point, im in the mood for sci fi anime right now though so im putting those first
