Synopsis

“Bahubali The Lost Legends” sets before the invasion of Kalakeya, where Bahubali and Bhallaladeva both are still the young princes of Mahishmati. It chronicles two brothers competing to rule the most magnificent Kingdom of its time and the epic adventures they have to endure to ensure the safety of Mahishmati. Under the watchful eye of Shivagami, one of them shall rise to be the king to the throne and others to the people. The story features the events off your expectations.

Plot

The story follows the two brothers who strive to become the heir to the throne. To become the king, one must prove that they have the potential to rule and fight. As they journey across the kingdoms, they experience new things and encounter terrors. And with the more epic action scenes, it gets even enjoyable. As well as with the dozens of new characters, there are hidden secrets and untold stories about Bahubali. The story is usually picky and easily attracts the viewers with its constant pace.

Characters

The character development is pretty good in the series. Since there are new characters which you haven’t known yet, they will surprise you for sure. To take the reference from the movie “Bahubali’, I can’t its character development is the same as that. But, since its an animated series, they even included some scenes that can only present through animation. Due to the strong plot, its easy to develop the character, and it also gives you the chills of a suspense thriller.

Music

The film Bahubali is known for its breathtaking music and the fantastic composition of songs. The anime series might not reach the peaks of the original movie. But being an animated series, and that too historical, the music somehow made it look like an intense. It’s a good thing that they at least focussed on the background music.

Action

For the people who used to watch historical movies or tv shows, this will entertain with its strategical fights. Even though animation doesn’t make the action scenes look epic, but at least they are worth the watch. Some action scenes resemble the movie. And those aren’t messed up, which is, by the way, a relief for the movie lovers. You may not love the action, but at least you won’t disappoint.

Animation

Being a fan of anime series, I would always prefer a good quality of animation. But its sad to see the animation of “Bahubali The Lost Legends.” It’s more like an Indian cartoon. No offense, but with such a fantastic plot, at least arka media should have put more budget into it. Since the animated series are loved all over the world, It should’ve been an initial step towards the anime community. It is a historical animated series, so people would’ve shown more interest in it. But sadly, it didn’t reach the heights of a classic anime series.

An Initiative Towards Anime Community:

Even with the great plot, some anime series doesn’t work out. And the reason is they lack either representation or animation. Also though Bahubali The Lost Legends represented the series very well, they failed to concentrate on animation quality. It would’ve been an excellent initiative for India towards anime community.

With a few negative reviews, it might’ve received a little bit of discouragement. But the fourth season proved that it would improve with the application of reasonable effort. Well, even in animation quality, it hasn’t improved much in the fourth season. But at least we can hope that we get more series like this with exceptional quality of animation.

Will there be a Fifth Season?

With the ending of the fourth season, there isn’t any scene that can imply in the making of next season. All we can do is wait for more updates on the series. And if you’re thinking of watching it, you can find it on Amazon Prime Video.
