Sentí el capítulo muy corto y rápido. Esta vez nos vamos a transportar a un escenario parecido a la cultura china donde allí se hacen predicciones muy precisas, conocemos a una tierna princesa que es desdichada por su pueblo pero aún así no pierde la esperanza de que hay una manera de que la predicción que le impusieron fuera cierta.
Another episode with really great worldbuilding, but the introduction of the new characters take it down a notch given something is totally of with them. It does raises intrigue about the star-readers and their function in this new village Yuu and co are in right now.
That was an interesting episode, far more deeper than I thought it would be. It seems to be a take on prejudice by assumption, and the people involved are held by a belief that may or may not be true at all. Thankfully enough, this is not the sort of anime that would cross that line, yet. It is trying to keep its atmosphere generally clear of any bleakness and depression although it seems to be gradually heading into that direction. Which is reason enough to tune in, hopefully our diligence pays off and the show lives up to its potential.
