The Legend of the Legendary Heroes #12 — Ride the Lightning

September 16th, 2010

 

Go away, Sion.

Impressions:

Can I just write Yet Another Sion Episodetm and leave it at that or would that compromise my lack of journalistic integrity? Like Shiki, I’m desperately hoping for some new Thursday shows to blow me away next season because both these shows are just languishing. I am starting to get the feeling that Zexcs hates people with pink hair. Why does every single antagonist in this show look like they were dipped in cotton candy? Newguy vs Milan was dull and just magical blobs bouncing off of each other, and the wholesale slaughter of nobles for the… fourth? Fifth? time in the show has really no big impact. I’m more surprised that they even gather in one place anymore considering the high incidence of death.

Literally nothing of value on the Lyner/Feris front either. They got a carriage. Hoooooray. I guess they’re about to have another run-in with Pink Haired Antagonists #1 and #2 again, but I really cannot bring myself to care a whit over this kid. Didn’t he have a sister? Whose mother and father are now dead? Did they just leave her in the woods? I can’t even remember anymore. She was probably fed to a grue. I think that I dread Keifer’s return as well. She served her purpose already and this show does enough dredging through the past already. Sigh. Is it Fall yet?

 

Preview:

Kiefer comes back and big swords everywhere.

    Why don’t you pick up Amagami SS instead this Fall season? ;D

    Kiefer -yes Kiefer. She will have role later if ZECXS continue follow the novels. It’s seems funny when Ryner and Kiefer meet again. Anyway can’t wait for second half off the show.

    Kinda surprised you didnt mention Miran’s creepy dad.

    I dont know about you but I know I’m at least a little interested in how the show is finally starting to build on an actual opposing side that isnt just easily killed by gathering everyone in a room or some crappy done miniwar episode. Can get in a lot more action like that.

    Dammit, I signed up for Legend of the Legendary Heroes, not Legend of the Barely Competent Political Intrigue.

    I feel that we did get our money’s worth from Ferris and Ryner this week in their limited screen time though. Run, horses, as fast as you can to escape the dangerous pervert!

    If they showed Lyner/ferris (team A) all the time, this show would become boring after few episodes, instead they mix it with random and boring political stuff (team B).

    It seems to work since they already know that team A formula works so they just show a few minutes of it, enough to make people beg for more, and fill the remaining of the episode with team’s B boring stuff.

    In a way it keeps teams A formula fresh, they however need to improve teams B subplot, they just throw in random political stuff, and people never shown b4 suddenly becoming antagonist then killed few minutes later for the heck of it… thats no way of making a plot, you are supposed to brainstorm ideas before making the plot, not the exact opposite.

    Rant aside, I love Lyner/Ferris part, it would be perfect if they could show lucile more and AWAY from sion and his manharem.
