I will be watching this series for one simple reason; I would finally actually get to watch my favourte "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" characters at work.
To be honest, Sonsaku is boring for me
; In my mind, the REAL main characters had always been at Seito Gakuen.
Seriously, never-mind that Kan-u Unchou is technically an Asian deity, him and his old mate Chouhi Ekitoku is just too cool. I hope female Chouhi gets to have her snake-halberd still.
And then there is my personal hero, Shokatsuryou Koumei.
(諸葛亮孔明/ Zhuge Liang)
We are talking about quite possibly the smarted person in Ancient China. Here is a legend about his intellect:
Once, a small fortress Koumei happened to reside in was besieged. There wasn't enough men to withstand against a frontal-assault by the enemy, even though rescue would come in a week.
So what did Koumei do? He walked out of the fortress by the front gates with a chair, sat down at the entrance, and did nothing. The enemies were so freaked out by his reputation that they refused to attack; after all it had to be a trap right?
When it gets dark, he packed up his chair, went back into the fortress, and repeated everything the next day.
This went on for a week until the reinforcement arrived and forced the enemies off.
...This probably isn't true, but who cares? It's a fun tale, and no less believable than Chouhi Ekitoku blocking a whole enemy army at a bridge single-handedly. (He declared "Anyone who attacks first, will die first!". No one in the enemy army went forward, and this standoff went on for a while until they just turned back and went home.
)
