They mystery continues and I'm absolutely living for it. The little hints we keep getting of a deeper plot is so interesting, even more so because the characters are also seemingly unaware of it. I'm so excited to see where this build up will go, and what the final answer will be.

S What is that map of, an island off coast?


I thought it might represent the world as understood by the ancient Chinese. China's in the center of course, with imagined north and west coasts, Japan to its east, some kind of paradises in the far west and east...

So it looks like Qing can now see the ghosts that haunt the emperor and he seeks out the Raven Consort for help despite the emperor's request to not bring it up to her. Hope both of them don't get in trouble over this and that it ends up helping the emperor out.

Reversing the OP and ED's placement this week is weird of how the implementation is done.


They really had us in the first half. But after seeing that cliffhanger it was kinda obvious.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Very intriguing episode. I get the idea of having the op at the end because of the last scene but having the ed just 5 minutes before did felt like a weird choice.

Wheezed when she made the jibe that the emperor shouldn't know about the red light district.
Good episode this week -- it was a bit slower, but it feels like the character development and chemistry is better

Hey you, yes you, do you want to hear a joke ? Okay, here it is ... Eunuch walks to a red light district.

Now, i would normally ask why is the secondary dude a real dick to our heroine out of a sudden, but then i realize i used the word dick, which in the context of his past takes a whole new dimension. I'm all jokes this evening, ain't i.


Don't know if anybody else laughed, but I sure did. It didn't even occur to me that he was a eunuch in the red lights, which is odd given my sense of humor.

great episode. liked the transition to the OP at the end after showing that map.

the ghost problem is pretty eerie. but it's nothing for shoxue to deal with a ghost or two.

we got some back story of que er, that was unexpected but very nice. it seems the willow ghost could be maybe his mum? tragic past though, so glad that he was taken in as an assistant.

this might be the first episode where we didn't get to see shouxue's signature move.

5/5. looking forward to next one.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

The plot thickens! Each episode is full of intrigue and action. I am very much enjoying this series. This episode in particular opened up a lot of new mysteries!

Wasn't expecting a backstory for that side character, but it wasn't a wasted moment.
Especially with how it seemed to mend an almost lost acquaintance.
Seems like the thing with the emperor will be solved next episode.

Wei Qing's story was heartbreaking but at least he found someone who would care for him, that's sweet and I liked how they framed this episode based on how Shouxue reacts to the emperor and how it might not be taken as entertaining to someone who has him in high esteem.

The use of the op at the was good.

I was a little worried for a moment there when there was this tension between Qing and Shoxue, I'm glad they didn't end up as some kind of enemies after all

I'll be honest, I didn't quite no what to expect when I started this show. I wasn't sure if it would be a 'revenge fest', if it would be like the Colourful Kingdom, but the mystery aspects of this show are very well done, makes me want to watch more.

Ever since I first saw the map in the opening song, I thought it looked like a smiley.

Everyone has really sad backstories. I wonder why the eunuch was suddenly very rude to Jusetsu, I mean it needed to be said but it was completely unexpected. I thought he was going to ask her to make the emperor's nightmares go away the first time he visited. That OP transition was pretty cool!
This never updates so that's cool

Is this the first time an anime played the ED first before the OP? That was both impressively surprising and very jarring

that was a very dark backstory for wei qing, explains how he knows about the red light district, but still, he tried to get away from that life only to run into it headlong when he thought he made the right choice.
