In the Japanese manga, there are many anime can get exclusive anime titles, these anime in their own field can be described as unmatched, today I would like to recommend to you a although some bloody, but full of manly anime, that is, "Sword Wind Legend"
This anime can definitely be a god in my eyes, but the problems such as painting style have delayed this anime, and there are really very few people in China who know and like this anime, which is really a pity. Speaking of the front, since this anime is also one of the top bloodiest anime in Japan, it is not recommended for children who are too young to watch, or it is better to be accompanied by someone to guide it. For people with positive emotions, this kind of content is a good warning record, for friends whose emotions are in a negative situation, some anime may become depressive products, so when choosing to make up anime, you should still choose better according to your own situation at that time.
The popularity of this work in Japan is really quite strong, as of 2016, the original single book sales of this work exceeded 40 million, which can be said to be unanimous. In China, the score on Douban can also be said to be a consistent high rating, which is understood in the eyes of people who have seen it, but the rating details page has been unable to enter.
The protagonist of the story, Gus, is a godly being, who has been extremely brave since childhood, can use a giant sword flexibly, becomes a mercenary as an adult, wanders on the battlefield, and is later tamed by Griffith, another protagonist of the game, to join the Eagle Regiment. Griffith is a once-in-a-century general, he is full of charisma, and very appealing, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and finally he betrayed the entire Eagle Regiment, became the fifth demon king, became the demon king Griffith, the temperament has also undergone a huge change, he has become cold, possessive and vengeful, he violated Casgarh in front of Gus, fortunately Gus and Casgart were rescued. At this point, Gus, who once deeply respected Griffith, now has the only goal to bring down Griffith. Of course, Gus was possessed by evil spirits, and his life was destined to begin to be no longer ordinary.
At this point, Gus's road to revenge and redemption has officially begun. I have always regarded "Legend of the Sword Wind" as a benchmark anime work, its character modeling can not be more excellent, the cruel things in Gus are imposed by fate, and Gus just does not accept this imposed cruel fate, chooses to struggle and fight against the cruel fate. Just like the great sword he wielded, how could it be called a sword, it was simply a huge piece of iron, and what he was carrying was originally a weight that a person could not bear, and what he was bearing was originally unbearable for a life.
Gus seems to be conveying a truth, that is, as long as you live, you have the opportunity to challenge and fight against fate, although Griffiths can also be regarded as a protagonist on some level, but I think griffith's existence can only be regarded as a reference to Gus's tough life, without Griffith and the unfair fate of the background, it is impossible to shape such an iron-blooded man. Sometimes when I watch this anime, I often complain that Miura has written Gus too badly, Gus can be regarded as occupying the position of Miura's most miserable male protagonist for many years, although many anime also have the opening male protagonist who was abused, but I have never seen Gus like this. In fact, although Gus looks very strong, but his heart has long been scarred, carrying too much hatred and pain, he lost his friends and lovers, as if betrayed by the whole world, it seems that when we can bear the "weight of Gus", we can also support our entire life course.
As Gus said, "If you care about the ants under your feet, you can't keep going." Whoever wants to overcome fate is to keep moving forward, and there is only one way. Believe me, if you're okay with a slightly more thrilling scene, be sure to check out this anime.
