Ep. 12
This is the episode where I have lost my understanding of what is going on.
First, that scene with the bloodsucking zombie felt out of place. So far, this anime has featured creepy characters and situations, but showing a zombie sucking the blood from a woman's body while making slurping sounds was disgusting. I started feeling sick because it was disturbing, and not in a good way.
That scene aside, the amount of information presented through this episode was overwhelming. I did not really understand the Summer King/Winter King story, and now we have other spirits coming to the court and saying the Raven is insane?
What is all this? I feel like I need the notes from a textbook to understand all that is going on. Can someone make a chart explaining this?
This has been a unique anime for this season. I have liked the cast, some of the lore is interesting, the comedy can be clever, and some of the court stories are realistically harsh. But now, I do not know what to expect for the finale. I hope it is satisfying. I am not sure that I want to continue watching if there is not some explaining going on.
So he convinced Koushou, the Winter King, to trap the Raven inside her, making her the Raven Consort and imprisoning her inside Yanmei Palace.
The Raven Consort is not trapped in the Inner Palace to prevent the Raven from escaping from underneath Yanmei Palace: she cannot leave because she is bound by the Raven.
I don’t think this was explained yet in the anime but I can totally imagine that being the cause.
Not sure if it’s also a myth forged by the Summer King to keep the raven consorts from escaping. I don’t think anyone has tried out escaping the Yanmei palace so it hasn’t been tested out whether they would actually die as the myth says.
It’s fully chinese as far as I know (at least for the historical setting).it’s such a mysterious show with Chinese and Japanese old era elements
