The Three Musketeers: The year is 1625. The young D'Artagnan arrives in Paris at the tender age of 18, and almost immediately offends three musketeers, Porthos, Aramis, and Athos. Instead of dueling, the four are attacked by five of the Cardinal's guards, and the courage of the youth is made apparent during the battle. The four become fast friends and embark upon an adventure that takes them across both France and England in order to thwart the plans of the Cardinal Richelieu. Along the way, they encounter a beautiful young spy, named simply Milady, who will stop at nothing to disgrace Queen Anne of Austria before her husband, Louis XIII, and take her revenge upon the four friends.

Where it came from
The 1987 animated adaptation of The Three Musketeers, produced by the Japanese studio Gakken, was part of a broader trend in the 1980s to translate classic Western literature into long-form television anime. Airing under the title Anime Sanjushi, the series was designed to provide a faithful yet approachable retelling of Alexandre Dumas's original novel, emphasizing the camaraderie and swashbuckling adventure that defined the source material.
The series is noted for its character designs, which lean into the distinct aesthetic sensibilities of mid-80s animation, balancing historical inspiration with the expressive, fluid style characteristic of Gakken’s productions. While it served as a successful children's entry point to the story, it was also recognized by critics for its ambitious scope and the orchestral-leaning musical score, cementing its reputation as a respected entry in the canon of literary anime adaptations.
