Fantasia Sango: Realm of Legends

The Fantasia Sango: Realm of Legends anime series ultimately failed to convince me in the end. Somehow there was nothing particularly interesting, original, or great to enjoy about this anime series. It is easy to watch although it is also like watching paint dry. Basically, it is a very ordinary story about four somehow supernatural hunters who traverse the world in the first half of the series and face a new "monster of the week" style danger in each episode. In the second half, the anime’s creators focused a bit more on the individual characters and managed to come up with at least a somewhat reasonable serious life trial for each of them. This made for a couple of pretty decent episodes. And then there was the final confrontation, which brought to a head all the characters had been through so far and how it had brought them together. However, even there it did not seem to have much of an impact because I found the whole thing too predictable, very generic, and sometimes quite boring. I liked the opening and I also quite liked Shourei, even though I felt like the anime’s creators were unsuccessfully trying to emotionally blackmail me with her story the whole time. I am awarding a lukewarm 3.5/10. (28/03/2022)
