Plots(1)
Sword’s clash, warriors fall and the battle for the future of the Kingdom of Pars begins in the epic first twelve episodes of The Heroic Legend of Arslan Season One! Pitched into the middle of a war between the nations of Pars and Lusitania, young Prince Arslan barely escapes with his life when his father King Andragoras III is targeted by traitors in his own camp. With nothing but the help of the steadfast and loyal warrior Daryun and a ragtag group of followers, Arslan must face impossible odds to liberate his fallen nation from the amassed forces of Lusitania, led by the mysterious Silvermask!

The Heroic Legend of Arslan is more or less exactly what I expected. Compared to the original 1991 adaptation, it has been dressed up in some fine new clothes and given more sophisticated characters. So, Daryun really is an incredible dude, and prince Arslan himself starts off as quite a wimp, which gives him more room to develop and grow as a person as the narrative develops. Narsus is even more of a bishounen, and Elam does not look quite as girlie anymore. Lord Silvermask appears to be much more frightening and is much more powerful, and then Gieve is a bit more of a pervert (although what do you expect from a bard but a propensity towards wine, women and songs?). Farangis is portrayed as a very curvaceous sexy individual... In other words, I like this adaptation of The Heroic Legend of Arslan much better than the original, and even though I knew where the narrative was heading I still really enjoyed it. 8/10.
