It would be my question, too. Souten Kouro is based on Records of Three Kingdoms and I personally found the characterization and the story were well-thought although some directions/effects are ridiculous. Quote:
In the last episode, the dark side of, Guan Yu, who is traditionally depicted as the embodiment of royalty, was dramatized in a rather interesting way...I wanted to see how character interactions would be developed since Cao Cao takes a great role in this and that there would be an interesting contrast between the character of Cao Cao and that of Liu Bei. Of course, I know the conclusion but the process must be interesting in this work. Also, it's a shame that the work hasn't gone far to the Red Cliff...I can see someone who is probably Zhuge Liang in the opening... |

For anyone interested, this series seems to be undergoing some kind of newly attentive revival. This 2011, GotWoot batched 1-5: http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=192757 which is currently displayed on the tracker for this series http://animesuki.com/series.php/1429.html but what is not displayed is they also batched 6-10 under a "GoD" label which is sort of confusing to me: http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo...29&showfiles=1
As of now, even though okashii has done 11-12, I'm hesitant to check them out because perhaps if I wait the magic will continue and all 26 will be done? That would rock =) Saving the .tors in file for backburner at moment I guess. |

So, like... Once upon a time, I read this manga in another language. I thought it was the most muthafakkin' awesome shiitz ever (at least before I discovered The Ravages of Time), but I had no idea what title it had in English or even whether it was originally Japanese or Chinese, given that it was a comic about Cao Cao and he is known by all (Asians) under Heaven. I finally discovered it again by chance...and also found out that it has a surprisingly recent anime. With a pitiful, neglected 4-page thread on Animesuki. This one. My questions, therefore, to the very few who had the fortune to watch this thing: first, how far does the anime go? Obviously at 26 episodes it's not going to reach the end of the manga or the ROTK story, but I do wish to know where it stops. Don't be afraid to spoil: I've been through ROTK in its many, many iterations. Second, how good is this anime? Technically speaking, I mean. How well it adapted the source material, if you know; how much budget got thrown at it to make the decapitations and general warmongering shine; production values, pacing, presence, all that stuff. Is it worth my time downloading this? |

Welp, because of the byzantine spoiler policy of these forums, I'm not even sure I can answer your question about how it ends here. I will say that I genuinely raged at the ending.
The production values aren't the best, they do seem to take shortcuts here and there, but in the end it's solid. |
