Koutetsu Sangokushi
(six episodes watched and then I kinda lost interest....)
A swords and sorcery tale of a powerful stolen treasure that threatens a medieval Chinese(?) kingdom.
I am not impressed with this series so far. While the story is fairly entertaining, the style of animation is a bit different - almost as if it was done in pastel watercolors with an indistinctive fuzziness that I don't like.
By episode 4, they have introduced all of the main characters - and they are all men or young men. This appears to be a BISHONEN series, perhaps even a BL (boys love) type of series.
(update - late Dec '07)
Episodes 14 to 25 have been fansubbed by those special people with Aarinfantasy, so one can assume that this series is most definitively in the BL genre.
Last updated Tuesday, December 25 2007. Created Friday, May 18 2007.
