Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi

Introduction

Around 1800 years ago in China, the ruling power of the Han dynasty became weakened and the flames of war spread throughout the land. Liu Bei was a young, poor straw-mat seller from the countryside of Hebai Hsing. After pledging eternal brotherhood with the two heroes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu began building his idea of a righteous kingdom that would aid citizens who suffered from persecution.

If I were a firefly, then he'd be the moon - Xu Shu when asked by Cao Cao how he compared to Zhuge Liang. This is without a doubt the best anime adaptation of the romance of the 3 kingdoms. Call me a communist, a C C 瓶 simp, but the mandarin dub was the best even if I couldn't understand most of it. You should watch it. Stopped by the C C 瓶 again: This review needs more information! Here are a few ideas of what you may want to include: Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up? - The story is a retelling of the ROTK novel in a format accessible to a kid growing up in the 90's, aka a millennial. A certain amount of attention span is needed there's no ecchi and no one cares about characters like Cao Cao. Do you think the art st…

Romance of the Three Kingdoms has the deserved reputation as being one of, if not the, greatest historical epics of all time due to it's large cast of historical figures, no single side being portrayed as purely good or evil (despite the novel's Shu bias) and having some of the most intelligent military tactics. Sangokushi captures many of these, but not completely. To start off, the anime covers the events from the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion up until the Battle of Chibi, at which point the Three Kingdoms finally became close to formation. In this incomplete manner, a more honest title for the series would be "Prelude of the Three Kingdoms" as it only starts to scratch the surface on the conflict between Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, though what material it adapts of the original…

Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi 横山光輝 三国志 Romance of the Three Kingdoms Review Story (10/10) Masterpiece The story follows the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story rather well as I would consider myself really knowledgeable on the story. If you don't know the story of RToK before watching this you are definitely not going to appreciate is as much as some who is well knowledgeable is. The accuracy and adaptation quality and pacing all for a anime that came out in the earlier 90s, I can't help but praise the efforts of Studio behind adapting Yokoyama Mitsuteru's manga. Art and Animation (6/10) Fine More Specifically (6.75/10) Fine+ Obviously almost everything back in the 90s that went for over 35+ episode isn't going to look amazing and the art style and animation for the anime is defin…

Romance of Three Kingdoms, for those not versed in Asian cultures, is the Illiad of the East, A giant epic set around the fall of the Han dynasty in 189 A.D... This particular version of Three Kingdoms is not a straight adaptation of the novel, but a version based upon Sangokushi, a manga by the famed mangaka Yokoyama Mitsuteru (Gigantor, Little Witch Sally, Giant Robo) in a whopping 60 volumes of tankoban between 1981 and 1987. Despite this, the story remains the same, much to the series' benefit. Yokoyama's designs are generally good, if somewhat 'old-fashioned' in comparison to character designs of the period. The characters are more archtypes then fully fleshed out people, but this also occurs in the novel. The only bonefide standouts are Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, who chew screen time…
