While I haven't seen their sub of Saiunkoku yet, they have subbed several other projects (Karin, BPS and Uninhabited Planet Survive) and their methods are very consistent. They put a lot of work into translation and editing, but very little into typesetting and karaoke. It isn't pretty, but it is fast and high-quality. Contrary to their name, they don't suck.

Yup, I like [suck] as well. They did a good job on UPS and Karin was okay as well. Meh, stop setting such high standards for fansubbers! They are feeling the pressure!
On topic, I'm not sure if I would enjoy this too much if it's just about romance complications. They are tiring to sit through.

Recognizing that this anime may have some difficult terminology and some of the dialogue is rather delicate, I have some basic questions...
(1) Is Shuurei's father the head of the palace treasury or is he the librarian? (2) Does Shuurei complain about having to buy barley or wheat, or, alternatively, is there no difference between the two in the vernacular? (3) Is Shuurei the imperial consort or the empress, or, alternatively, is there no real distinction, given the historical context? Empress makes the relationship sound more permanent and higher status than what seems to be shown. Is the highest-ranked consort the empress, and therefore Shuurei is the empress by default? That seems to be implied by Shuurei being surprised at being addressed as ki. (4) Does Seiran become a captain of the guard, or merely an officer of the guard? (5) Is the emporer one of six brothers or one of five brothers? (6) Does Shuurei say that she is there to save the emporer or to help him? Thanks! Last edited by Rarity; 2006-05-13 at 00:37. |

/me dons We Suck hat Spoiler:
If there's anything you're still not sure about, you may ask either myself or teh_suck (aka Torgen, co-founder and lead translator of We Suck; don't be fooled by the "Misc." credit on our release, he did lots of translation checking on my behalf. LOTS! Also, he's a way better editor than I can ever hope to be...bah, I really should've taken that extra English writing class offered in high school in my final year...) |

I just watched the 1st episode of this show. It's good! I wonder how such a solid show managed to slip under the radar.
Then again, maybe my personal enjoyment of ancient Chinese history and Chinese traditions and culture caused me to like the show more than I usually would. Did anyone check out the seiyuu cast for this show? It's really impressive!

Great series. Shuurei, oh, Shuurei, Episode 2 just sealed it; you have no idea how much you totally owned Fushigi Yuugi's Miaka. Thank you for having a brain, let alone, become one of the most delightful heroines out there.
I've shut off my BL radar with this show, but Spoiler:

I'm totally in love with this show. Normally I'm not the type to like shows that are more.. uhh... how to say... mellow and calm. But this is just great. The character designs are beautiful (I want Shuurei's clothing!! Not that you can wear stuff like that in this time but still...), and I like the characters (Shuurei in particular... I may get a Shuurei icon soon...).

characters page updated
I've updated the Saiunkoku characters' faces and names page to cover characters introduced up to episode 6. The descriptions of the characters contain no spoilers.
Episode 6 was wonderful again, giving us a new turn. The summaries of the novels (link on above page) are a great resource for understanding what's going on.
