Saiunkoku Monogatari 2nd Series
Synopsis:
Kou Shuurei and To Eigetsu, co-governors of the Sa (Brown) Province, are determined to revitalize Sa Province by making it a research capital. The road isn’t easy, though - opposition still remains and playing politics as the first female governor can be tricky. To add to the hardships, a mysterious illness in Sa Province gives a shady cult an opportunity to gain power by preying on the people’s fears. Eigetsu and Shuurei are undaunted in their goals, but with the prejudices of the times and Eigetsu’s past coming back to haunt him, can the young governors overcome the odds?

add recLooking at a mirror produces a reverse image of oneself. This mirror image, though so similar to the beholder, is in fact the beholder's exact reversal. This is perhaps the relationship between Saiunkoku Monogatari and The Twelve Kingdoms.
The play of politics and the role of individuals mark the foundations of a prosperous kingdom. The tale of such individuals who will pave the way for the kingdom is the primary focus of Saiunkoku Monogatari and The Twelve Kingdoms. The main heroines that thrived to pave politics and prosper their kingdoms did so in the exact reversal of the other (while one relied on intellectual means, another would use force and charisma). Ultimately, one can draw countless comparisons and contrasts between these two images. Yet, like the image viewers see in the mirror, loving one image would connote the loving of the other. After all, they are mirror images.

add recThough these anime's are very oppsoite when it comes to action, and setting, but they're both full of politics and slight romance. Gundam SEED has slightly more romance in it than Saiunkoku Monogatari, but it isn't apparent until late into the series.
Saiunkoku Monogatari is a slower anime whose base story line reflects the political actions needed to create a peaceful society and to help the people that live within that society. In Gundam SEED, the main purpose that the Gundams were built for are to create peace between the Earth and Plant.
Both have very intricate plot twisty, and a lot of deciet, that must be overcome by intelligent political stances.

add recWhilst at first glance this may appear a strange recommendation to make, both of these series share some similarities. Aside from the shared mix of humour and plot, both Kyo Kara Maoh series 3 and Saiunkoku Monogatari series 2 have central characters who have accepted or gained their positions of power in their countries and are striving to make them better, whilst having to deal with the politics that surround them.
