This show is a dark horse in this season. I absolutely love the way the story is being told. It also won bonus points for having truly charismatic characters who have so much depth to them in addition to having amazing animation that really brought out the emotions of the characters through the acting and expressions. The way Dynasty China was portrayed was surprisingly balanced with the show highlighting its beauty while not shying away from the shadier nature of life during that era.
Another amazing season in this phenomenal show! It continues to bring up important questions as to hierarchy, bureaucracy, and the apparent quintessential human need to put others down in order to get ahead. There are just some shows that we as people need to watch to nurture humanity in us, and I believe this is one of those shows. Hopefully, if we're ever put in similar situations, we can handle it with empathy and genuine concern.
Poetic and heartbreaking. She feels so empty yet overflowing with tears at the same time. Looking forward to seeing how her character develops
Goddamn beautiful animation! They're really good at making simple stories hit. Good story telling and built-up to the climax.
