This is a North Korean animation, based on battles in an ancient time in Korea. There's lots of martial arts and sword fighting action. It was originally aired on KCTV (Korean Central Television), which is North Korea's one and only TV station. It's usually where they show all their pro-NK propaganda, but in this case it appears to have something to do with an ancient war in Korea (before there was a North and a South). According to Wikipedia, Koguryo (also spelled Goguryeo) was a kingdom in Korea during the period between 37 BC and 668 AD. Apparently somebody managed to record all the episodes of this show aired in North Korea, and upload them all to Youtube, as the North Korean government that runs the TV station hasn't ever released these shows for viewing outside of NK (only glimpses we get of NK TV broadcasts are leaked video footage from people who are defectors from NK, and were lucky enough to escape with their life).
While it only has 7 episodes, this animated series features swords, martial arts, stealthy ninjas/assassins, superhuman strength and speed, and in general completely awesome fight scenes. Only problem is it is entirely in Korean. Nobody has made English Subtitles for it yet.
Here are embeds of the first 3 episodes, from 1 to 3, in order. (I was just informed that the forum doesn't permit more than 7 embedded videos per post.)
