i've been watching this superb anime, Saiunkoku Monogatari(Tale of Saiunkoku)...haven't watched such interesting, intriguing anime for such a long time..since fruits baskets/Furuba...ahh..how i've missed the days where i can sit idly in front of my monitor...
Season 1, consists of 39 episodes tells the journey of Kou Shuurei, how she became the emperor's consort..later as an Imperial Examination participant..to a court official...
Season 2, tells the story of the struggle of Kou Shuurei, together with her co-governor of the Sa Province, To Eigetsu to overcome the troubles surrounding the Province...and many other difficulties ..
This anime mainly focuses on the gender bias towards women during the days where the emperor and the government he holds are sacred to the male gender only..and women held as taboo to this occupation...the many hardships faced by Kou Shuurei...isn't just another plot in the story of Saiunkoku Monogatari but it reflects what ARE happening TODAY... in our everyday lives..if we looked deeper..if we looked properly..
the fact that women are the lesser gender do not help a bit ...being looked down..incapability to perform greater tasks..are all being discussed and critiqued in this anime.a highly enjoyable watch to all women and men alike..
~Elements of the supernatural and legends are too incorporated into the anime..giving it a more mysterious feeling..more questions are left unanswered after the 1st season...
who is the bara-hime/rose princess?
what is the connection between Shuurei~hyou clan~shouka?
will Shuurei end up with Kyuuki or......
~the opening theme song Hajimari no Kaze/ the 1st gust of wind is a beautiful melody..most suitable to the theme of trust and love
~the ending song of Saiunkoku Monogatari season 1 Saikou no Kataomoi is too a beautiful story of emotions..of longings
~Ending theme for Season 2 Asu He sings of the joy of tomorrow and the courage to move forward
truly 3 beautiful songs..
here's the link to download it...since its a song tha tshould be listened and judged .....
Saiunkoku Monogatari OST
