Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre

As someone who has followed and loved Encantadia from its previous versions especially the 2016 adaptation I am deeply disappointed with the direction that Encantadia 2025 has taken. It's honestly painful to watch something that once held so much meaning become stripped of its emotional depth, strong storytelling, and respect for legacy characters.

The way the original characters were handled was extremely careless. They were treated as if they were disposable - characters who were once powerful, wise, and emotionally complex were killed off without any proper build-up, meaningful closure, or respectful send-off. For example, Cassiopeia, who is now a Bataluman (a goddess-level being), was portrayed as weak and lacking wisdom - the very traits that once defined her. There was no effort to show her power, her intelligence, or her connection to the realms. She was simply removed.

Cassandra was another huge letdown. The character has so much potential - she is born from a royal line, she is unique, and was meant to represent the bridge between generations. But she was poorly written and underdeveloped. It felt like she was intentionally set up to fail, just so the new generation could be pushed to the spotlight. There was no proper arc, no bonding with the old Sang'gres, no real emotional scenes, no development of her power. Then just like that, she's gone. No purpose, no payoff.

I understand that the 2025 series is meant to tell a new story. But pushing the new generation forward should not require destroying or weakening the legacy of the past characters. That's not how you honor the world you're building. That's not how you handle a fantasy franchise with so much emotional investment from its fans.

Even if this is just the "prologue," as they say, a prologue should still have structure, emotional weight, and narrative purpose. What we got instead were rushed scenes, weak battles, confusing transitions, and characters we barely had time to connect with before they were thrown away. There's no sense of direction the story jumps around, and the pacing feels broken. It's clear the planning was rushed, and the execution is all over the place.

And worst of all, when fans gave feedback not even bashing, just real, constructive criticism some of the writers replied in sarcastic and dismissive ways. That's unprofessional. A show that thrives on community support should learn to listen to that community, not belittle them. Especially when we, the fans, have waited nearly a decade, only to be met with storytelling that feels empty, emotionless, and disrespectful to what came before.

Encantadia 2025 had so much potential. It still does - if they choose to listen. But as of now, it feels like a show that has lost its way, failed to honor its past, and disrespected the very fans who helped carry it all these years. That's why the ratings are dropping. That's why the reviews are poor. And that's why we speak up. Because this show deserved better. And so did we.

Heard that the old writers and/or director was switched so the plot and story now is very VERY disappointing. I feel that it is so unnecessary for the writers to kill off pretty much every single characters there. If they wanted the story to mainly focus on terra then why even bother add in the other characters?? It could've just been a terra movie🤦‍♀️ so so SO disappointing and I know that many and i mean MANY others feel the same way. This is like the way for the writers to have a killing spree🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ its so stupid how they nerfed powerful characters like cassiopea could have contributed in defeating mitena but instead she got downgraded💀💀 alena got hella nerfed too and pirena🤦‍♀️ she is a retired and intelligent villain so i really dont see the need to have her downgrade like that?? And lira? Sorry not sorry but how the hell do you nerf that badly🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The information on this page is false. There is no such production as the one identified on this page. The person who created this page obviously took much effort in filling details, some of it based on the real Encantadia production which aired from 2016 to 2017.

By a viewer and fan of the Encantadia universe

As a viewer, I genuinely enjoyed Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre (2025). The series presents itself as a beautifully crafted continuation of the beloved Encantadia universe, offering a rich blend of fantasy, emotion, and stunning visuals. It manages to rekindle the nostalgic elements of the original saga while introducing a new generation of characters and conflicts that expand the lore in meaningful ways.

Set years after the events of the 2016 requel, Sang'gre follows the story of Terra, the daughter of Danaya, who was raised in the mortal world, unaware of her divine heritage. As chaos begins to rise once again in the magical realm of Encantadia, Terra is drawn into a conflict that will shape the future of the kingdoms. Her journey is one of identity, power, and purpose - a theme that resonates deeply with many young viewers.

Visually, the series excels. The cinematography is breathtaking, with each realm-Adamya, Sapiro, Lireo, and Hathoria-brought to life through detailed set designs and vibrant color palettes. The magical effects, battle scenes, and mythical creatures are rendered with high-quality CGI that rivals even larger international productions. This attention to detail helps immerse the audience fully in the fantasy world.

Performance-wise, Sang'gre delivers strong acting across the board. Rhian Ramos, portraying the enigmatic Mitena, is particularly captivating. Her screen presence and layered portrayal of a powerful yet emotionally complex character add significant depth to the series. The newcomers also hold their own, especially the actress playing Terra, who brings a balance of strength and vulnerability to her role.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the series is how it respects its source material. Long-time fans will appreciate the return of legacy characters, subtle references to past events, and the continuation of unresolved storylines. Yet the show remains accessible to new viewers, thanks to clear world-building and a fresh narrative arc that does not require prior knowledge to follow.

However, Sang'gre is not without its flaws. Some episodes suffer from uneven pacing, with plot developments sometimes feeling rushed or underdeveloped. Certain story arcs begin with promise but are abruptly resolved or sidelined, leaving viewers wanting more. Additionally, a few fans have expressed disappointment over how some iconic characters were handled, particularly those who were quickly written off or underutilized.

On platforms like IMDb, user reviews reflect a mix of admiration and critique. While many viewers praise the series for its visual splendor and ambition, others highlight issues with the script's cohesion and the lack of character development in certain subplots. Still, the overall reception leans toward the positive, especially among those who value character-driven storytelling and rich fantasy settings.

Despite these criticisms, Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre remains a commendable effort to revive and reinvent a legendary franchise. Its ambition is clear, and its execution - though occasionally flawed - showcases the potential for even greater storytelling in future seasons. It brings Filipino fantasy to a modern, global stage, proving once again that local content can be both emotionally resonant and visually spectacular.

In conclusion, as a longtime fan of Encantadia, I found Sang'gre to be a heartfelt, visually mesmerizing journey into a world I already loved - now reimagined with new heroes, darker challenges, and a fresh spark of magic. While it may not be perfect, it has captured the essence of what made Encantadia special in the first place: courage, legacy, and the fight for one's destiny.
