Isn’t it just a massive boot right to your junk when a series hooks you, ends pretty dramatically, and then just never continues? It is truly a way to end for a series that I have always liked to call “Berserk-lite.” Anyway, if you are left with a gaping hole after finishing The Legend of the Legendary Heroes anime, you really have no choice but to go to the light novel.

What to Expect From The Legend of the Legendary Heroes Source Material Compared to The Anime?
As it adapts 11 novels into 24 episodes of anime, The Legend of the Legendary Heroes adapts the story of the light novels at a fast pace. It skips a lot of the finer details in this building political intrigue and the anime actually does so in a more “upbeat” sort of tone compared to the light novels.
It is recommended to read the light novels from the beginning, but not strictly necessary since there was such a rapid change to the world and dynamic at where the series ended.
Will There Be A The Legend of the Legendary Heroes Season 2?
Unfortunately, The Legend of the Legendary Heroes has no official announcement of more anime.
The anime may have ended on a cliffhanger, but what better way to sell light novels? That said, this series is one that has long-faded into obscurity.
