 According to Tokyo Shoko Research, anime production studio Future Planet Co. has gone bankrupt on September 29th. The total amount of debt is one billion yen ($12.3million). Future Planet launched China-Japan joint anime project Saikyou Bushouden - Sangoku Engi in 2005, but the huge production cost, which is estimated to be more than 200 million yen ($2.4million), had become burden for the company. Moreover, the delay in the airing of the anime in Japan had upset their financial plan. Future Planet fired all the employees on July 31st.Source: Tokyo Shoko Research |

| Sad, but that's the free market. Make money or die. But seriously, I sometimes question the wisdom of making yet another adaptation of the Three Kingdoms. There are so many versions floating around that people are quite tired of them |
 |
| Was Sangoku Engi even any good? Can anyone tell me? |
| Did they ever even finish the show? |
 |
| too bad for them |
| How can they owe a billion yen when this show only cost 200 million and they've seemingly never done anything else? Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place... However, this was one mismanaged company. |
| I lol'd, no matter how bad it sounds. |

| i think they wish to target the Chinese industry other than Japan |
| So... I guess I'll have to finish this show in chinese? Too bad, though. I liked this show, even though I didn't read Romance of the Three kingdoms. |
| Sorry for grammar mistakes(if any), english is not my native language. Feel free to correct me if you see some. |
d3stinY said: i think they wish to target the Chinese industry other than Japan Hoo boy that's even more stupid. They've got enough of Cao Cao, Liu Bei & Co and Sun Quan and his merry men (and women). I think they're targetting the Japanese market, which isn't as inundated with Three Kingdoms as China |

| ..while this studio didn't do much in the anime industry .. it's still sad to know there's one less studio out there... |
| So a company that made only one anime went bankrupt for making a piece of crap? sounds like a total failure to me. |
| I'll tell you one thing. They didn't put that money into the animation. It was terrible! |
  |
| well i fell sorry for them |
| i mean feel lol |
| Guess that's a sign that Romance of the Three Kingdoms is way overused. Made me lol though... |

There are so many versions floating around that people are quite tired of them all of current adaptations of it are horrible their are plot changes and it ends to early like when its not even halfway threw the story, this one was the only one with nothing changed, i am guessing you didn't watch it? |
