Jumping in on this now since there's probably not gonna be any other time after this.
I also watched Legend Heroes and greatly enjoyed it (
surprise surprise
). Technically, I had actually seen it 2-3 years ago (I think it was when Battle of the Red Cliffs first came out) but I still remember a fairly large chunk of it due to the show being my first real exposure to the Three Kingdoms in media.
I remember being legitimately surprised it came out, as the show's predecessor series SFX Fantasy Rayforce sadly never got past the initial planning stages due to lack of financial investors:
Obliviously you can see that several elements from Rayforce would eventually find life again in Legend Heroes, so admittedly no real loss there.
Anyhow, back to Legend Heroes. As others have stated, the one of the show's best qualities is absolutely it's characters. The show probably has more recurring characters than the entire cast of some rider series, and while not all of them are developed as Liu Bei, the show still manages to get you to care about them.
Like, they had an episode about one of the Mi Zhu's buddies. Seriously! An entire episode centered around trying to get you to care about one of the side character's best friends, and y'know what? It totally worked! I still remember everything about it from the guy's Skunk themed armor, to his stink grenade launcher, to the scene where Sima Yi tries to be deadly serious as he presents a regular gas mask to Cao Cao acting like it's some epic counter measure to the stink grenades.
Speaking of things I remember in great detail, favorite suit (
excluding the supers like Imperial and Sima Yan
) hands down: Legend Hero Yu Ji/Zhang Lu (the blind Peacock guy). I immediately gravitated toward it when I noticed it during the dream sequence in ep 1, and it is still my favorite of the regular suits. The black and orange/yellow(?) color scheme, the long coattails/skirt thing with matching capelet, the spiked fan weapon, the giant spiked fans on his back, and the added detail of the eye guards on his helmet being massive since he's blind and therefore wouldn't need to see out of them, god there is so much going on with the suit I totally dig all of it.
