Review of The Heroic Legend of Arslan

My first impression of this anime is that it reminds me of the novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which consists of the plot surrounding warfare and resurgence. The graphics is pretty lackluster, but that is easily eclipsed by the intriguing story. The plot itself is pretty direct and there are not much twist, which can be a good thing as it keeps the viewer on track and the easiness to grab the message the creator is trying to convey. The winning point for this anime is definitely its characters. Character development is pretty decent , and most of them are like-able even withantagonists. Daryunn and Narsus are amazingly done and written. One represents the mind and the other the sword of the MC, Arslan, guiding him through the hardships if warfare and to succeed as a ruler of a kingdom

All in all, this is a enjoyable anime if one is interested in military affairs, as it greatly stresses on war strategies and the values of being a great ruler.
