That's just a lesser Hakkenden.
The problem with Suikoden II is that a videogame can manage a cast one 108 characters that the MC have to recruit and then their individual story can be explored individually, because the player understands that the gameplay requires the other 107 plotlines to be paused while I go and finish this particular quest.
This shit is impossible to do in any other medium without being retarded, unless you have hundreds of episodes where you can spread multiple storylines in parallel with one another while introducing new characters in an organic matter.
