Ikkitousen doesn't even pretend to be vaguely representative of the actual Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so I think that the criticism in this regard is misplaced. I'd say that it's more likely to spark interest in the original work. Quote:

Ultimately, Ikkitousen is only very loosely based on the 3 Kingdoms. It's different from genuine manga adaptions of RoTK or even those that take certain liberties with it's story-telling porpotions like Legend of Dragon's Son or Ravages of Time. Really, it's no worse than Saiyuki making out the innocent, meek yet highly disciplined monk Xuan Zang into the gun-trotting smoker Genjyo Sanzo or even altering the epic adventure/quest of enlightment into a quirky jeep journey to defeat evil.
Ryuuroden/Legend of Dragon's Son is looong due for an anime adaption.

Just watched the trailer, there's full frontal nudity, wow. Do I have to watch the original series before watching this to understand what's going on or is this pure fanservice? Just judging from the trailer, this would make a good hentai. I hope they make an H ova for this.

Quoted from Wikipedia:
Ryuubi Gentoku A clutzy, ditzy be-spectacled bookworm with seemingly has no combat skills, no mental skills and she can't even swim. She's also a homophobic but wonders if she's a lesbian herself. Ryubi is destined to be a great leader but is presently too timid and carefree to make a good one but is more than willing to do her best for her friends. She is old friends with Chouhi and possesses the most destructive dragon seen which is so evil that it radiates enthropic energy and nearly made her disembowel herself before Ryomou, Chouhi and Kanu managed to stop her resulting in all of them being critically wounded. ------- so... was this the first time that Ryuubi let her dragon out? I just can't imagine Kannu being critically wounded... and also.. Kan-u Unchou Believed to be the most feared and powerful Toushi around she even carries the nearly invincible Blue Dragon Crescent Blade from her predecessor, the legendary sword Kusanagi and has overwhelming chi. She believes her destiny is die protecting Ryubi. It is believed by many characters than Ryomou will one day kill her. Presumed to be an old friend of Kakouton and Kakuka and is also a closet lesbian. ara... who is her girlfriend in the manga then? or who does she loves? |

i am not sure if this has already been posted since this has already been edited a couple of times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-zv9l3ugVQ some of the new characters are shown, it appears that ryoumo is in control of her dragon at stages, hakafu is also able to control it and also that lazy guy is back but not so lazy? |
