Well, I am way too far ahead of you and probably like many people said, they are not watching the series till they have a good amount of episodes. I am watching the raws so I am way far ahead of where you are. I am sorry you are feeling lonely :P

There is only 7 more episodes left for this season, so it is a sure thing that there must be a third season on the works because I don't see Shuurei and Ryuuki ending together, considering the resent events.

Yay indeed! Was pleasantly surprised to see the joint-sub. I followed the entire first season, but have been laying off downloading the second season for awhile now - until I checked and saw with much joy new subs! Hopefully this will draw back fans to revisit the forum and watch the newly released subs too!

[cutecouplesfan]

i just watched episode 14 it was awesome

Spoiler for ep14:

i really think that even in some really dangerous situations people notice that ryuuren had some normal clothing on is funny like the one when ryuuren rescued eigetsu. eigetsu immediately noticed that ryuuren is in some normal clothing. funny right?

[crystar]

I'm waiting for C1-Animanda to release more episodes. I hope we can an episode every week at least, I will be very happy with that. I won't be seeing the Crunchyroll ones just cause I dislike streaming. But yeah, any subber for this poor unwanted series is highly appreciated.

just asking...what do you mean by poor unwanted series?

by the way episode 15 is out in crunchyroll

[cutecouplesfan]

Spoiler for episode 15:

looks like eigetsu won't be disappearing after all.....from the preview it looks like yougetsu will give eigetsu his life....and also riou is one of the hyou clan and I think an accomplice of the head of hyou clan..riou is also fond of shuurei

I think that's a reference to its (limited) appeal to the subbing community, not a comment about the audience.

Spoiler for Episode 30:

Ryuuki asked shuurei if she is not a little jealous of the latest candidate for him to marry, and she said that yes. Ryuuki gets all bright and happy until she tells him she was because the princess is interested in marrying Seiran too, which make Ryuuki get all sad. So Shuurei is more worried about a woman taking Seiran from her than one taking Ryuuki

only 9 more episodes for this season to end....

Spoiler for Repy to Golthin's spoiler "DOnt read if you dont want to be spoiled":

As much as i want a ShuureixRyuuki ending i just dont know at this point. Like you stated she is not in love with anyone. Any guy would be lucky enough to end up with her but i still Seiran never being able to take that step of marriage with her, but what i wonder is she jealous because there would be another women around or is she jealous for more romantic reasons? She could easily be jealous just like a brother gets jealous when his sister pays more attention to another male. She could do so much good as empresses. So im praying by the end she picks Ryuuki but honestly as long as she is happy ill be happy to a certain extent of course

That's what I meant. Other series has groups rushing to release the latest episode first. Saiunkoku has a number of subbers but releases are still rather limited.

Spoiler:

No, that is the problem with she marrying Ryuuki, she will have to give up her dream and the things she want to accomplish, besides the fact she can't see Ryuuki as a man because she basically raised him. Ryyuki doesn't help matters either by always acting like a spoiled child with her to get his way, but the only thing he really wants he can't get by pouting to her.

Once she becomes Ryyuki's consort (not empress as such title doesn't exist in the world of Saiunkaku) she won't be allowed to have any influence in government.

When I first saw an add for this series on one of the sites that I was at I thought about checking it out. Well for the first time in history I wasn't disappointed from beginning to end it kept me on my feet and I wanted to see more normally a series can get me like that but only until the plot turns sour or something stupid happens. But this is my favorite anime and I was surprised about that. If for any reason something stupid did happen they quickly fixed it and kept me interested. If the second season doesnt hurry up I am going to start to download it regardless which I am trying to avoid when I watch something I like to watch it so I dont have to worry about waiting for the next episode to come out a week or two weeks later.

I would give this a 10 out of 10 for all of it.

Last night I watched all six of the C1/Animanda H.264 releases, and they are simply stunning. The raws are incredibly detailed and deeply colorful, and the faces chosen for the styled fonts fit well with the Japanese texts and feel of the show. The raw quality is especially noticeable in the more intimate scenes where you can see the care Madhouse took in drawing the characters' facial appearances. (Facial characterization seems a Madhouse strong point these days; see Dennou Coil for another good, if very different, example.)

This is hardly a knock on our other valiant subbing groups, Four-Lear-Clover and Sweet Secret, who have been doing yeoman work in bringing more Shurrei to a starving audience. I just wanted to extend a vote of confidence to the C1/Animanda crew. I had begun to think C1 had abandoned this show after releasing just one episode last year. Now that we've gotten six beautiful episodes in a bunch, I can't wait for the next set of releases.

Newbie question :
Is the serie finished in Light novels form ?

[Sinestra]

Finished up Episode 10 subbed and Shuurei tenacity never get old. She is just an amazing woman who honestly and truly cares about others wellbeing above her own. Right now the focus of what needs to be done has taken precedent over the romantic side (unlike the later unsubbed episodes) Which i am very happy about Shuurei is coming into her own and making a name for herself on her own. Next episode seems like she might clear the blockade and actually get the doctors in to help the Ill. Saiunkoku to me is one of rare gems that doesnt seem to get very much attention but shines so brightly i love the series through and through and even though it sucks waiting for subs the series is so stunning i dont mind waiting.
