About The Legendary Hero is Dead!

Meet The Legendary Hero is Dead! (勇者が死んだ！), an action, adventure and comedy anime by LIDENFILMS (2023). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: In a world of monsters and magic, Sion, the local hero, is on his way to save the world from demons. Well, that was the plan until he fell into a pit dug by a sleazy villager, Touka, and died!

Along the way, after hiding the accident, Touka goes to bed as usual but wakes up feeling…different. Somehow he’s in Sion’s body! Now, the fate of the world is in his hands.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Sion Breydan (Shunichi Toki) and Anri Haysworth (Ayana Taketatsu) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
