Synopsis

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.

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 thing that stands out here is the origin of the story. This series is based on the most famous Chinese epic story/novel of all times, the Romance Of The Three Kingdoms . I have read a big summary of it and I must say, the series is faithful to the original script.

STORY SECTION: 8/10

The novel is 700 years old, very long in duration, it is based on real historical events, involves hundreds of characters and describes a 100-year-old war around the unification of the vast read more

It seems to me the author of LoGH was inspired by the ancient Chinese story RoTK. In other words, LoGH is a space version of RoTK; both of the stories focus on political and war strategy rather than battle scenes. Oberstein is like reincarnation of Zhuge Liang.
In both stories, the main character meets two other men (who are also main, somewhat) to accomplish a very big goal. Romance of the Three Kingdom is a more historical work, while Yotoden is somewhat darker and supernatural.
