Community Score: 3.5 © Subaruichi/SHOGAKUKAN/ The legendary hero is dead! Production Committee feels like an out-of-place show. Comedies like this in 300sand00; fantasy stories about utterly uninspired and dastardly farce leading to being thrust into the hero’s role and ruining expectations in the process. It’s a solid little setup that many shows have found success with. That trend has faded, replaced by mighty otherworldly heroes shrugging off RPG tropes, but it’s a formula I’ve come to know and enjoy in the past. Unfortunately, that doesn’t do much for the show’s sense of humor. this It’s not that I find Touka’s comedic twist distasteful — because it’s such predictable, tiresome comedy. He has two reactions to everything: run away or sexually objectify the women in his life. He toggles between the two modes with regular efficiency, the way you’d expect each time. There’s never a surprise, twist, or punch line that you don’t see a mile away, or that we didn’t see earlier in a given episode. It’s corny humor, not even offensive in bad taste, because it’s 600, and “like thighs and boobs” is out. Damn, the fan service isn’t even well presented. Stockings hang from the girls’ legs like garbage bags. We live in a world where they can animate entirely about a single artist’s obsession with bodysuits, but this show is here with fetish fuel that would make Hiro Mashima withered. Frankly, it’s embarrassing. At once Personally please note that I is Offended by the lack of the undead half of the show’s premise. For a century, cartoons have mined zombie or skeleton characters for farce and visual gags. It is a proud and diverse art, through and to name a few, and legendary heroes Totally missed the ball. I’d say drop eyeballs, but it’s just a joke about Touka’s eyes falling out. That’s just average amateur. Hell, there’s an entire segment where Touka peeks with his skeleton body, and there’s not a single bone/boner pun. For that matter, there’s no gimmick about the apparent biological challenge of being horny without any junk. If the show can’t be bothered to revel in its low taste, then what are we doing here? front For one thing, the show has improved since its premiere. Kyle isn’t a terrific villain, but he’s a solid foil that allows us to take on someone worse than Touka. I even like that despite the obvious military advantage of the Knights, Touka isn’t intimidated because his opponent is so self-loathing. Touka might be a bad villain, but he’s at least comfortable in his rotting skin, which is a smart way to make his UberChad foes interesting opponents. Touka even had to use his slack magic sword subtly to win the match, which was fine. Skeleton Man is decidedly less appealing so far, but hopefully he’ll find something interesting in the next episode. If I’m not inclined to root for our heroes, it would be nice to at least chuckle at the villains. Sad Unfortunately, the rest of the cast couldn’t handle their weight. Yuna exists to give fans little flashes of sadness, to punch Touka every once in a while, and nothing else. Anri is at least more practical as a character, but her silliness seems to come and go as the plot demands, and she doesn’t do anything to make Fujika less annoying. The person closest to our hero is Margaret, as she still sees him as the original hero. Granted, she also has a ridiculous weight-gain/lose gimmick, mostly to convince us that Touka would objectify any woman, no matter her dress size, but the difference between her doe-like innocence and Touka’s scumbag There is at least some humor in the interior monologue. Unlucky Unfortunately, more comedy needs to be done. You don’t have to be sophisticated, or even that smart, to make a bunch of eccentrics fumbling around in a fantasy adventure fun, but you do need to something. Whether it’s a rapport, goofy visual gags, or a comedic premise versatile enough to perpetuate the humor, there are plenty of ways to make a production like this. So far, The Legendary Hero hasn’t done that, and it’s been a rough ride. Rating: is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
