The second season of Saiunkoku Monogatari is even better than the first - too bad I can't rate it higher than a ten.
Story - 10
The second season starts off around where the last one ends, so I recommend you watch the first season before you tackle this one. Anyway, the second season is easily even more intricate than the first, with Ryuuki finally taking charge as emperor, something not all members of government appreciates. New enemies appear, and the clans continue to feud as always. Every detail in the story is important, something viewers should be used to by now.
Animation - 9
I really appreciated all the costumes this time around. Everyone's hair, the jewelery, and building designs, all of it is so wonderfully done. Actions scenes could be a bit better, but that's not really what the story is about.
Sound - 9
It's the same, top-quality sounds as the first season. The OP/ED haven't changed, which makes me glad. They're really fitting. The seiyūs are kind of awesome and wonderfully casted. Some standouts include: Serian, played by the same seiyu as Xingke from Code Geass (ironic since they're both very similar characters) and Ran Ryuuren (Hei from Darker than BLACK). Okay, the whole cast is amazing.
Character - 10
All the characters from the previous season appear once again, gaining even more development. Kourin and Eigetsu get a particularity epic storyline, something I did not expect, but ended up loving. Shuurei is as motivated as before, trying her hardest to succeed. Ryuuki is also doing his best, and slowly building a group of loyal supporters. Seiran has found a place for himself in the royal guard, and is finally allowing his true personality to show through. Everyone is wonderfully written as usual, probably thanks to Saiunkoku Monogatari being based off a series of novels.
Enjoyment - 10
The second season takes everything I love about this series and adds even more. All my favourite secondary characters get their chances to shine, and some new characters bring fresh life to the show (Go Jyūsan-hime!). I was impressed by the costumes and soothed by the sounds of the erhu. Usually, second seasons aren't as good as their firsts, but Saiunkoku Monogatari does not stick to this norm. read more

Its very interesting since you don't often see main characters which are intelligent but this one differs.The only thing that i think is wrong with this one is there long and redundant dialogs its kind a boring if you would just listen for about 30 minutes of dialog then all in an instant it ends. And the characters are very similar to that of the 'fushigi yuogi' characters. Its up to me to find out whether there creators are the same, so ill update you later.But the LOVE TRIANGLE is very ironic if you watched the first season then you'll know.Tragic yet fantastic its all i can say besides its not too bad to know a little about ancient politics.<hehehe> read more

Romance, historical oriental setting and politics! Although there are all these similar genres, Saiunkoku Monogatari has a lighter feel to it :D but the art is the same -- Just as beautiful! both are also full of bishies and a strong female lead XD

The world these stories are set in are very similar. They're historical feeling in a fairy tale land that looks a lot like old Japan might. The difference is that strong female characters wield more power than may be historically accurate. This Second season of Saiunkoku Monogatari has a bit more of the "magic" in it than the first season which I think makes it a lot more like Juuni Kokuki - which is filled with elements of fantasy. I think if you like strong female characters who are not portrayed primarily as a object of sexuality, who don't spend all day talking about a guy but are also not immune to the idea of romance, you'll definitely like both these series.
