Does anyone have more info other than it is scheduled for fall'09? A more exact date perhaps?

Well, only having seen one episode of Souten Kouro, I would say that looks very similar. And I'm quite surprised to see one like Souten Kouro so soon. I mean, only one season or so...

Though bad thing about Souten Kouro is that only 12 episodes have been subbed by various groups and unless Romance of the Three Kingdoms gets subbed by a reliable group, there's going to be a long interval between episodes. And of course unless ROTTK is even better than Souten Kouro.

Although Souten Kouro is based on the same story it is barely to not related to the story. RotTK is much more likely to be an adaptation of it. (I'm also waiting for Lunar to continue Souten Kouro :/)

The Fansub Wiki shows that: Huzzah?, FTV-subs?....... might be subbing this series.

Huzzah should first finish Viper's Creed before starting a new one. In my Viper's Creed thread in the Uploader's forum someone wrote that they might be dead because their IRC topic hasn't changed since June/July. Slowly but surely I agree with that person. Ok, I have gotten offtopic.

I did. Start to the end, multiple times.

My favourite part was the Great Battle of the Red Wall. Absolutely brilliant utilization of military strategy. I consider it as the story's climax.

the books are beautilful, l wish there was a direct adaptation of them into anime, and l wouldn't mind 70 eps for that with 4 movies it would have been such a great story.

I think you mean Red Cliff, at least that's the only battle I remember at a place with Red in its name.

I have the books in my room. I will start reading them as soon as I have finished the last installment of the Guin Saga novels. And when the hell starts the anime?!

I guess with my forgotten signs I learned five years ago for three years, I doubt I can still read Chinese :D So English has to be fine.

EDIT: Japanese airing has been postponed to 2010 -.- Damn them!

Though I hope mandragon is wrong :( He lists Kite Liberator for 2010 after all though it is out for a loooong time or is there a continuation planned?
