About Legend of Basara

Legend of Basara (レジェンド オブ バサラ) blends action, adventure and drama (1998). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: In a small village, twins are born: a boy, Tatara, and a girl, Sarasa. The prophet Nagi declares that Tatara is the chosen one who will free Japan from the tyrannical rule of the King and his four sons.

Further in, when the ruthless Red King slays Tatara, Sarasa must take on her brother's name and responsibilities and embark on a quest to free Japan and deliver vengeance to the Red King.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Sarasa (Akiko Kimura) and Shuri (Kazuhiko Inoue) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.7/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Akiko Kimura as Sarasa, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1998, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
