Three Kingdoms in 60

One of the greatest war stories ever told, one minute at a time.

This channel retells Romance of the Three Kingdoms, China's 14th-century epic, as animated shorts of about 60 seconds each. An empire is rotting from the inside. A rebel army rises in yellow turbans. And in a peach orchard, a sandal seller, a fugitive and a butcher swear to die as brothers.

Follow Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from that oath onward, along with the rivals who will tear China apart, like the brilliant and ruthless Cao Cao. No history degree needed. Every episode picks up where the last one stopped, so start at Part 1 and keep going.
