Review of Three-Body

Three-Body (2022– )
10/10
Simply excellent... except for the missing pieces.

It took me a while to track down the English subtitles for the last 7 episodes available via Bilibili, but eventually I was able to view the entire series.

What a rush!

All-around great entertainment, excellent graphics/CGI, on-par music score and good-enough subtitles to get most of the dialogue understood. Compared to most of the animations recently flooding the airways, this series definitely deserves way more than a 10 star rating... at least in my opinion.

The only let-down was to discover that the story seems to start around the second book of the trilogy by Liu Cixin, and also abruptly ends as well. While there has been an announcement by Bilibili that a second season covering the third book is in development, it would have been great to see the first novel (as animation) as well.

Still, with some quick reading up on the gist of the first book, the lack of background information did in no way diminish the viewing enjoyment.

To everyone interested in watching the series: either watch the Chinese TV show 'SanTi' (imdb tt20242042), albeit somewhat long with 30 episodes, or read the book(s); then watch the show. You are in for a real treat!

Enjoy!
