unnecessary restart
5 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Warning: The translation may be inaccurate. Translated from Russian into English This sample is a relaunch of the animated series "In search of Legends" in 2017. Yes, yes, you heard right. This is not a continuation, but a restart. You understand this when you gradually watch the series and completely change the canon.

IF YOU DON'T WANT to read my whining about this, just watch "In search of Legends" 2017 ("Legend quest" or "Las leyendas", titles in English and Mexican). Strongly, absolutely. And touch this raw children's sample only after viewing the original, so as not to spoil the impression.

It's strange that I didn't understand this at the first viewing. Was the reissue worth closing the project with an unfinished twist at the end? Let's figure it out The animated series borrows all the images and characters that were in the 2017 project, changing only the animation style. I must say right away, a change of style is bad. It is suitable, except for children's spin-offs and animated series for girls, but not for 19th-century fiction with horror elements (we all understand that the horror of the last series was at the 6+ level, but it still smacked of something creepy and maybe equaled Gravity Falls just trying to smooth out the rough edges in an attempt not to scare off the younger audience). Everything that should somehow frighten, does not frighten. All monsters look cute or ridiculous rather than scary. Perhaps this is a subjective judgment, but there are unlikely to be dissenters. Especially those who watched the original project. Of the advantages, I will only highlight the fact that the animation has become smoother, but it just pales against the background of this "vanilla" style Plot. As for him, he didn't move forward. In theory, a restart is a fresh start, giving the opportunity to implement new ideas without contradicting the canon of the previous project. What do we have? The series has become tedious, the twists are not exciting, the narrative is drowning in the romance of Leo (the main character) and Theodora (the foreground character), the plot is banal. The original series even made me worry about.
