    Is it just me or are the Crunchyroll subtitles awfully timed on this episode? Long sentences are displayed for a fraction of a second. It’s annoying as fuck having to go back and pause all the time…

    So the named clans each have an animal of the zodiac in the name, except for the La clan. Looks like Maomao isn’t just named kitty-cat for her personality.

      I did not realize that the (oldest) named clans where named after the zodiac until I saw this episode.

      It was said in the episode the first 12 clans where named after the zodiac and the latter ones have unrelated characters, and they were commonly divided along that line as old / new, La clan being one of the new ones (probably the most prominent) and there are others (just not explicitly mentioned in the story so far).

      It is interesting that the horse clan uses the animal character (馬) and not the zodiac character (午). This is the only exception. I guess it was probably one of the original 3 vassals who helped establish the nation.

      It was also mentioned Gyokuyou’s clan would most likely be raised to named status with the character Gyoku (玉, Jade) once she became empress consort.

    Banger Op and Ed as always. I needed a small recap here, was a bit lost.

    A setup first episode that did not fill that boring. Good to see how things are working now.

    Anyone else see Maomao’s eyes seem wonky in the promo image? Like they’re supposed to be different sizes because of the angle and her left eye is farther away but it still seems off to me
