Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun

It was an amazing first episode, gives you a lot to look forward to with a concise intro to the main character.

The feeling might change once more season is released but season 1 alone is not something i would recommend. The biggest crime is certain music choices that sours the experience of watching the show. Other issues such as lack of focus on important characters, unanswered/skipped plotline, dumbed down NPCs taking the time. You could look back at any episodes of this anime and realize "So what happen to this plotline" "Does this even matter in the end?".

Firstly fire whoever is making the music choice for this anime. Without a doubt awful again and again for important moments. Are the lyrics even considered properly for the moment its showing for? The amount of time skipping in the final episode is crazy, So much that was not shown or solve, no reaction coming from characters such as the son of Taira Denki. How did Ohga even took the defeat? How did it even came to that they are willing to consider peace? How did no one even thought that Ohga would be replaced for a failure her war? Did all her citizen just forget that she led them into a failed invasion? Did the pro surrender faction really just accepted Ohga when she returned? The fact that there's so much unanswered question and they just went ahead a skip to the next arc is crazy. It leaves a huge distaste and unsatisfied feeling for a finale. In all 12 ep, what did Asama even did? to be introduced as the 2nd MC, and nothing important happen from his side till the end, the most he did was shot someone from his horse and then wave his sword around. LIke gosh what? Credit where its due for good dialogue, but there's way too much flaw and negative feeling in the end to justify recommending this to anyone.

It seems season 1 wont be the season where any challenges befall the main character at all. I am smart therefore everything will go my way. Will look forward to season 2 to see what Taira Denki will be cooking up as a formidable opponent. Maybe we can finally move on from the trope of dumb random challenging the MC just to prove a point that they are dumb and the MC is smart.

Welcome back main character. As always the maneuver so far has always been "I am merely following the law hence I am right", the show wants you to believe the main character is incredibly smart by placing dumb people as his obstacle so far, i guess the only good thing so far is we do not know how smart taira denki is as the main villain. The story will make or break depending on how smart the main villain is in the end. A story about a smart main character will never be complete if the counterpart is always dumb.

Interesting build-up of the story.

Visually stunning. Wonderful character introduction and just gut-wrenching.

Imagine if the yellow turban rebellion characters were the actual main character in this story... I won't criticize the actual strategy used to bring back the confidence of the troops. The most critical mistake here is again, BGM. Fire whoever selected the BGM that keeps disrupting dialogue making everything jumble together and make it hard for the audience to focus on the moment. Dialogue or Singing, choose one, never do both at once, i thought thats something basic and simple to understand but apparently there are people in the industry who thought yes yes this is good, let's cover away the dialogue with singing music in english! Congratz to the main character who finally reach the castle! achieving nothing for the story for 7 episode straight!

Another episode without the main character, the setup up continues, Every episode they keep repeating and reminding the audience, "OUR MAIN CHARACTER WILL FIGURE THIS OUT AND CHANGE THE TIDE", while our main character revealed nothing, assuming to be revealed in one go, "Look our smart the main character is, who has done nth for the past 6 episodes." I can't agree with this long of a setup without proper showcase of the main character's thought. Regarding how the empty castle stratagem is used here, seems like a mix of the stratagem and what zhugeliang is known for, reading the weather and making it seems like heaven's will.

A setup episode of the Seii nation. A lot of tell not show. While the presentation is creative I'm not sure this is the best way to present massive change to a region for an anime. I believe i'd work well in manga. In terms of being a populist nation, the speech is inspiring. I'd appreciate it more if we explore the world through the main characters eye, not the narrator. Some soundtrack were awfully distracting and some scene doesnt serve much purpose, we don't have emotionally connection to the characters hence the audience feels nothing.

NIce to see the emperor finally growing some b*lls. Definitely one of the best episode so far.

It seems someone had to take the blame for Commander Wajima’s mistakes; Strategist Hei knew this and decided to sacrifice himself—a true patriot. The question now is whether Wajima will be able to recover from this severe blow.

Ryumon must be one of the best strategists around; people like him should be in charge

Best episode again, the Borderland general had finally moved!

Un episodio en el que suceden demasiadas cosas, con una dirección increíble, animación espectacular y una banda sonora muy bien elegida. El plan que se lleva a cabo se siente rápido y efectivo, y es una pena lo que pasa con las tropas de Sei, creo que tenían buenos personajes y se deshacieron de ellos demasiado fácil, pero esto es así. El final no me lo esperaba así de rápido. Creo que hubiese estado mejor si los eventos se hubieran llevado a cabo en dos episodios diferentes. En general fue una primera temporada de un anime bastante joyita del 2026, con una animación y dibujo muy buenos. Tiene sus cosas negativas, al principio parecería que la inteligencia del protagonista solo destacaba por la estupidez de sus rivales. Luego fueron mostrando personajes sumamente inteligentes y estratégicos, aunque me hubiese gustado verlos confrotandose con el protagonista. Algo pendiente para la próxima temporada, de la que no sé qué vaya a ocurrir, pero que nos espera movimientos de Buho.

Un episodio en el que protagonista hace lo que sabe hacer: convencer a otros de que él es inteligente y tiene un mejor plan. Es bastante extraño que lo que quería Kaku haya coincidido, porque no tenía nada que ver con lo que dijo. Pero al menos el emperador hizo algo y no todo pasa porque el gordo lo diga.

Un episodio en el que al fin nos muestran al protagonista haciendo cosas después de muchos episodios, volvemos a ver a ese personaje honestamente analítico, capaz de hacerse con la suya. Veremos cómo va su plan y si acaso el gordo no significará un problema.

Un episodio que profundiza el estado del lado de Sei, dándose más trasfondo a un bando rival con el que ahora mismo podemos empatizar más. Fue un emotivo episodio con una dirección qye expresa esa emotividad. Es un buen momento para el desarrollo de la comandante de Sei.

Un episodio intenso en el cual el protagonismo se lo lleva totalmente el general ryumon en su confrontación con la comandante de sei. Tal como el título, este anime nos da una batalla psicológica entre Dragón y Tigre. Me parece muy bien logrado que este anime no solo recurra a estrategias de batalla físicas con enfrentamientos, sino también a la lucha psicológica. Un momento tenso con una animación magnífica.

Un episodio con despliegue de estrategia desde los distintos frentes que hace que el anime mejore mucho al no haber un frente estúpido que haga que otro se vea inteligente, sino que ambos tienen sus estrategias que le otorgan una victoria. No me esperaba para nada ese desarrollo del mocoso, pero ya veremos cómo cambia a partir de ahora.
