Saiunkoku Monogatari Series
Tagged under Kairi Yura, Madhouse, Series.
It's been half a year since the Emperor has succeeded the throne of Saiunkoku. He is young and seems to have little
motivation or interest governing. Furthermore with no concubines to date he has earned a reputation of being interested
more in men!
There is no choice for a replacement since he is the sole heir to the throne. If things
continue this way, it will only be a matter of time before some usurper will set their greedy eyes on the throne leading
the country into another civil war when it has barely recovered from the last.
When Grand Advisor Shou
approaches Kou Shuurei with an offer she just could not refuse, Shuurei ends up becoming the concubine of the Emperor of
Saiunkoku for three months, in hopes of generating an interest and motivation of his position over the country.

Kukuru's Saiunkoku Monogatari Tv Review
Rated:
I start this section off by providing a link to a blogger's site about what they felt about this anime.
I think the pictures and their captions tell it all and pretty well gives you the impression about what sort of large
fan following will come to follow this show. With lots of eye candy and potential for coupling, it's enough to satisfy
any fangirl.
That being said, those who prefer a little more sophistication in their viewing will find it in this anime. Though the
plot is nothing groundbreaking, there are life themes and concepts presented that are worth consideration. In
particular, I quite liked the episode titles.

I feel extremely proud to be a Chinese girl who has inherited this ancient, rich, and beautiful culture.
The story is based on the Tang Dynasty of ancient China. It was one of the most prosperous dynasties in the long history
of China.
From the government structure to the fashion, all the details are carefully followed.
The characters are all really well developed and I got to know them and how they feel.
The romance is brilliant. It is not overdone nor is it contrived. Each of Shuurei's suitors are unique and special.
Though admittedly, it is a bit weird how almost all the male unmarried characters end up falling for Shuurei XDD
Beautiful artwork and the men are all eye-candies. 0v0
The episode names are all Chinese proverbs. Very thoughtful and I'm proud to know them all :D
Love the feminism message too :)
Woah,finish season 2 now. Love the ending of both seasons.Waiting for the 3rd...
When will it come out anyway?!...But there is surely a season 3 !!! I wonder what will Ryuuki and Shurei's bet turn
out!!!
This is a series that I really love .... beautiful characters, gorgeous scenary great story even if it is very long ...... the adventures of heroin Kou Shuurei are interesting and exciting from the point of view of history too.. advice everyone not to lose!
fireflywishes rated 8.75:The storyline for this series is like the love child of Fushigi Yuugi and The Twelve Kingdoms. It had some great character development of Shuurei and a lovely musical score (OST) for the series. My favorite character would have to be Kouyou, love his non-sense of direction! This is another series that I wish had been continued as the novels give much more story than is presented in the anime.
rosecallisto rated 9.75:the anime was good, i really liked it. I'm now a political science major, and now that i look back on it, some aspects in the anime were right and was expressed in a simple way. the story was good. the plot was well interwoven. One thing i also liked about it the most is the art. The characters were well crafted, they actually looked really good. i liked in particular the personality of the heroine, though it was quite common. In all, the anime is good and is a must-watch. i think though that others might find it boring since it's political, but it's worth a watch. it's one of the animes that can inspire you, and also in which you can learn a lot of things, if you look deeper into it..
