In ancient China, only one law is followed: “every man for himself.” The political system is corrupt and unfair, and war is raging throughout the country. However, one man, Liu Bei, is different; he is a simple mat-weaver who one day discovers that he is in fact one of the possible heirs to the throne of China, and he longs for a change in his homeland. Alongside two fierce warriors, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei sets forth on a journey for change, while strengthening the bonds of friendship and brotherhood with his newfound comrades.

Both anime have many different Lords of Kingdoms that wage wars against each other looking for either, ownership of all or for the greater good of all their people. The Twelve Kingdoms is fictional fantasy where Romance of the Three Kingdoms has real Chinese history mixed into the stories but watching them both i can see that The Twelve Kingdoms was highly influenced by Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the way everything is set up.

The war between the monarchical Galactic Empire and the democratic Free Planets Alliance has raged ceaselessly across the galaxy for over a century, with the fleets of both powers having fought countless battles. Currently the conflict revolves around the strategic Iserlohn Corridor, one of only two passages of space through which the two forces can access each other. Here the Empire has built the nigh-impregnable Iserlohn Fortress, whose deadly weaponry has thwarted repeated efforts by the Alliance to capture her. Phezzan, a neutral mercantile state, controls the other corridor. The long war has resulted in an indecisive stalemate, but there are two men from the two worlds who will change everything: Yang Wenli, a gifted strategist from the Alliance who wants nothing more than to retire and be a historian; and Reinhard von Lohengramm, a man from the Empire whose ambition knows no bounds. Their loves, struggles, triumphs and failures play across an interstellar stage of intrigue, war and death.
Both anime have a lot of war tactics implemented into them. it can take several episodes for each army to plan and discuss what they are going to do before ever doing anything. Legend of the Galactic Heroes is different by being in space and making up a totally new universe while Romance of the Three Kingdoms does have some real chinese history to it but both have the epic feeling of one group of people wanting to do good for the whole by following their own ideals. There is no clear definition of who is bad and who is good because both (all) sides are fighting for what they believe is right. If you liked one check out the other.
