Arslan Senki

Here’s another one that’s worth watching, the name is “The Heroic Legend of Arslan” And it’s very impressive. Although the anime is not complete yet, they just started the anime adaptation but the episodes they’ve made are fantastic. Arslan Senki is actually history itself in a fun manner, people who hate reading history can watch it, because not all of it is made up.

It has real life sword fighting style but a fictional kingdom that resembles the historical age of iran. It was a novel first and then adapted to a manga and now an anime, surely you understand that it got pretty famous for a reason. Let’s talk about the reasons, firstly it has a very good style and has been given a beautiful touché by the developers and also the main character “Prince Arslan” has a strong resemblance to “Edward Elric” from the famous anime “Full metal Alchemist.”  

 The Prince of Pars, Arslan, is a very kind young child who is for some mysterious reason has never been allowed closure to his parents, the king and the queen. The prince has been brought up by servants and his old teacher “Vahriz” Who was the only person who taught Arslan almost everything.  Arslan’s father, king “Andragoras” has never lost a battle until he does and loses everything, leaving his kingdom destroyed and himself missing. Arslan’s beloved teacher also gets killed in the battle while the king flees from the battle zone, abandoning his own men, the old man was also the uncle of “Daryun” Who is also Arslan’s protector. The anime shows rare intelligence in the art of war, although the methods are shitty and dishonourable. I was very impressed by a character that later appeared in the anime, “Narsus” Was his name, a great battle strategist. The main antagonist is a mysterious man named “Silver mask” Who has wicked plans. The young, innocent and kind prince must stop him but he is not alone, he has allies and we will see how he defeats the “Luistanian Army.”

 The final most interesting thing about the anime which have been shown so far; is the battle for the kingdom of Pars, the Luistanian army took it over even when the walls were high and strong. How did they do it? Now that is a very very good question and the answer is legendary and awesome. Watch it, I can guarantee you will enjoy every inch of it.
