I got suckered into watching this because of the cast. That was before I found out that they took characters from all my favourite anime and made them gay. Gawd. I’ve never felt so cheated in my life.

Because the story is loosely based on Romance of Three Kingdoms, all the characters have to be male. Even if they look and sound 100% female, THEY’RE NOT. And they couldn’t have left it at brotherly love, they had to inject all this homoerotic stuff into it. I don’t understand what kinda audience this is supposed to appeal to. I know guys are supposed to find girl on girl action a big turn on, but the same thing just doesn’t apply to girls. Why couldn’t they have thrown a couple of concubines in there? Or they could’ve just made the Sun Quan character a female (JUST LIKE SHE LOOKS AND SOUNDS), it’s not like they’re taking anything from the story aside from the character names. And then in episode 4 (I don’t consider this a spoiler because the plot is non-existent at this point anyway), they kill off one of the extremely few non-gay characters in the show. Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

And the Liu Bei character is this freaky little twerp with curly pink hair who seems to have a crush on Zhuge Liang (who likes gathering flowers). WTF!!! I don’t know much of the original Three Kingdoms, but I did hear a few of the stories when I was a kid, plus I played the Sango fighting game, and all this is just violating my sensibilities.

Maybe it’ll get better later, maaaaybe…
