It is true that this episode was slower to build up, but that is because the introductory mysteries are done, now we go into way longer and connected stuff, but for that a lot of threads need to be thrown to be able to connect or confuse the viewers theories. This build up is what ultimately makes the show into a top contender, not the short one episode introductions. There will still be smaller cases, but you will never know if they are just smaller cases or maybe they are somewhere connected to something bigger!

Lihaku’s love for Pairin I am sure will be a great comic element in the future. Remember Lihaku is the “dog wagging its tail”, easily manipulated by Maomao with brothel, infatuated with Pairin, and gets explosion in face and watered down.

She also mentions that her clothing is southern but the face is more northern. It could be the case that 1. loulan is from the south and she is ashamed of it. However due to expectations and her position she is kinda forced to wear the southern clothes so she does her makeup so she looks northern. 2. She is from the north yes was raised in the south

All of the high-ranking consults are supposed to be smart capable women.They don't do anything for no reason. But most of the concerts are sheltered noble women. The ultimate goal is to become the emphasis. Which could be of great use to their families. The description of the rear palace is interesting being a garden and a cage. With a huge number of commoners from poor families acting as support staff.

@@alexhilshire8507 my reply somehow disappeared so forgive if this is a repeat. I agree that in this culture (in fact most) women were treated as property/tools to advance their family/clan ambitions and being a consort was not a bad destiny especially if high ranked among consorts and a high ranked man. However, I think this was not universal including those to the Emperor. I felt that Ad-Dou cherished being the friend of the then Prince and was surprised (I read that as disappointed) to be his only Consort. She did her duty and bore a son, who died (maybe) and since she could bear no more children returned to being a friend for 17 years. I think her leaving the rear palace was what she desired and the Emperor agreed proving another palace for her. Lady Gyokuyou was obedient to her family and became the Emperor’s consort, but per tradition and expectations kept in contact with her family to help them. That being said her envy of Lady Fuyou finding happiness by marrying her beloved childhood friend (in spite of her family desires) shows the woman of this society had desires perhaps suppressed to something more than making babies for high status men. I think Lady Lihua was deeply fond in fact in love with the Emperor and wanted his love and desired to bear his children. I don’t think she was bothered by his having other women as long as he desired and wanted her. This complex emotion and desires are also shown by the courtesans who desire to be bought (especially if affection not merely lust was motivation). Their vulnerability in this regard was shown repeatedly and some cases overcame their pragmatism. Being a Consort or Courtisan was not perjorative but reflected the practical reality of the society. It is the marketing of their beauty and skills to enchant men that afforded them a happy life albeit dependent.

Speaking of Rouran the last released manga chapter of series so far has an episode where MaoMoa prepares an icecream like desert for her. [Chapter 68] This epiosde is based on chapters 23 and 24 of the manga. So her story won't progress much in the anime, at least until the next season. Its likely the anime will end on chapter 40, you'll want a tissue box if that's the case for it will be a bittersweet ending for it tells the tale of the creepy monocleman Lakan's past and its very tragic.

Not really. In Chinese/Japanese literary trope he's giving off more of a "dark advisor" vibe. Something like Sima Yi or Yang Xiu in Three Kingdoms, or Wu Yong in Water Margin, or Hideyoshi's advisor Takenaka Shigeharu. Basically a sus guy who might have ulterior motives or gives off good-in-practicality but downright evil advise.

I've noticed a few occasions when they show the cunsorts that. They don't show all of the ladies in waithing. I know is the decision done to save on the animation budget. But it's past the reason why Momo was made a lady in waiting. Loulan is supposed to have over thirty ladies in waiting. The average numbers about 10. Gyokuyou only had five after momo joined. I can understand the garden party if they said. You may only bring a set number. This isn't the only case of them not putting in background characters. That help fill ont the world and the rules it operate under. I don't know if anyone else is going back and watching the English dub version when they release it. But some of the translation choices. Seems to be a poor choice for conveying the intent .Gyokuyou In the English dub for episode twelve uses the phase of "blunder of the century". It just doesn't fit her public characteror. Even if she would behave like that in front of her ladies in waiting. In the subtitles, it says "you're going to regret this" which feels much more in line with her personality. I have dyslexia which is why I like watching the English dub. But with this show it feels like they're changing characters entire personality. Having invested the time to read both the light novel and the Manga. It feels especially out of place. As they try and keep the character's consistent between them. I know some things don't have an exact translation. But keeping the intent behind the words and the personality of the character consistunt. Should come before inserting the translator/localises personality. I can understand when they have to make changes for broadcast reasons. Or at the request of the publisher when they convert a web novel to a light novel. But in both those examples, the author is heavily involved.

Jinshi observed that Gyokuyou had only 4 Ladies in Waiting while Luhua had 8. I think there is a difference between Ladies in Waiting (high status) and serving maids (lower status including commoners). This is not made entirely clear in anime. Gyokuyou Ladies in Waiting did everything since others, maids, or assigned Ladies in Waiting could not be trusted. The poison needles in clothes show how risky it was. Prob Ah-Dou episodes showed how many non-Ladies in Waiting helped out as well as any temporarily assigned. It was tragic for Ah-Dou that her very competent (and excessively loyal) Head Lady in Waiting as well as a loyal maid so misread her desires that died. I think she felt a lot of guilt for failing to communicate her desires and charity (I think she knew how/why her child died and did not hold Fengming at fault). She would never has contended poisoning her pseudo-daughter Lishua.

Well, typically literature includes a villain of some sort, which might be society, but that's not common for there not to be at least a personal face for it, and the Emperor hasn't been portrayed as a prick in this series, unlike his father the pedophile. Just keeping the concubines isn't necessarily villainous as he might be constrained by tradition as well and he might have actually loved the previous consort who was his childhood friend. Your comments are pretty spoiler for anime only people like me, you might like her character, but they didn't do a lot to show tsundere beyond a sideways look. Being bored could also be interpreted as being contemptuous.

When the previous consort was forced out it said that someone influential was trying to get their daughter. Into the rear palace to you close it to the Emperor. Loulan didn't pay any respect to the symbol of her office implies she doesn't want to be a concert.

I thought this was a good episode all the way through. I liked the first part mainly for the comedy and the second part for the mystery. I think the powder explosion scenario is rather common issue and thought it was handled well, but you are right that the warehousemen were probably already aware of this issue... So I would agree that this was likely a setup to try and frame a higher up official of the palace, and once we find out to whom the pipe belongs the mystery of who wanted to frame them will begin.
