Legendz intro page




Legendz (レジェンズ, Rejenzu?) is a role-playing game, an anime, a toy, card game, and manga series.

The manga is illustrated by Makoto Haruno (春野 まこと Haruno Makoto) and the story is by Rin Hirai (平井 隣 Hirai Rin). The manga was published in Shueisha's Monthly Shonen Jump in Japan, and the manga is published in English by VIZ Media. The anime, Legendz: Tale of the Dragon Kings (レジェンズ 甦る竜王伝説 Regenzu Yomigaeru Ryūō Densetsu) is animated by Studio Gallop, directed by Akitaro Daichi, and aired on Fuji TV from April 4, 2004 to March 27, 2005. It appears that Bandai Entertainment will acquire the rights to the license of the English Dub of the Anime.

The Legendz manga is about a boy at Ryudo Elementary School (竜童学校 Ryūdō Gakkō) named Ken Kazaki, who along with his loyal Windragon Shiron battles other people who raise and train monsters. He later enters the Legendz Carnival competition, where he learns of an evil that threatens the world.

The Legendz anime moves away from the Pokémon-esque "gotta catch em all" and monster training aspects and deals more with the overall background of the monster characters and their story. The Legendz anime opens with the discovery of the "Soul Dolls" which contain legendary creatures of incredible power within them. The Dark Wiz company (DWC) wants access to all of them for unknown reasons, but four of the Soul Dolls go missing. The majority of the anime takes place in Brooklyn, New York City, with the Brooklyn Bridge as a much-featured landmark.(information from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendz)
