Continuing my weekend dump of Sangokushi, one of the most easily accessible and complete adaptations of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'll be posting a volume every weekend for anyone who's ever felt like getting into the story. Previous threads can be found in the archive by putting 'Sangokushi' in the subject field.
Story thus far: The empire is wracked by a peasant, millenarian rebellion, which is quickly put down but exposes to all regional strongmen just how fragile the centre is, and ambitious men all over the empire continue to carve out their own loyal power-base. Cao Cao, one such ambitious warlord, has finally eliminated his rival Lu Bu and now seeks to deal with the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

>Sangokushi, one of the most easily accessible and complete adaptations of Romance of the Three Kingdoms
April 13, 2019 - 22:06
Well, if we're only talking about what are meant to be mostly by-the-book adaptations that are available in English, there's this manga, the '94 TV series and the 2010 TV series. The 2010 is much more abridged than the former two, though it has generally better production values. I mean, they're all fine adaptations so I don't really see a point in ranking them, but in terms of accessibility and just how quickly one can go through the whole series, this manga adaptation is an ideal starting point.

Finished reading the manga a month or 2 ago. Great series. Water Margin Scanlations when?

If you're talking about more creative adaptations or shorter movies, I've only seen Red Cliffs, Lost Bladesman, Ravages of Time, Souten Kouro, and the Toei anime movies. I can't say I really have any strong enough opinions on them enough to rank them, but I will say that the Toei anime movies aren't really worth watching unless you're watching it purely for the animation, and Ravages of Time is probably the best creative adaptation of the story, though who knows how long it'll be before that series is complete, much less completely translated into English.

April 14, 2019 - 01:24
To be fair, Liu Bei has pretty much NOTHING at this point in the story (and history, too, since I think this event was actually mentioned in the historical records). Most of Cao Cao's subordinates must have thought their leader was being paranoid even being so on guard against Liu Bei, when there are much more dangerous warlords still out there. Also goes to show the kind of charisma or other personal qualities the real-life Liu Bei must have exuded to warrant such a judgment from Cao Cao so early on.
