Featured reviews
Please give some credit to Ken Liu for being a writer. Unless I'm mistaken this was a very good short story in his "Paper Menagerie" book.
I loved this one ... at first I didn't think it fit in with the rest of the collection , but it does. It looks amazing and the high-fantasy story is compelling enough that I kept checking the time left on the clip, regretting that it wasn't longer.
One of the best episodes of that series. Great story, great art, great atmosphere of the influence of the development of civilization on those who caught the verge of "before and after"... Just a great job that deserves a standalone full-time cartoon.
After looking at all these reviews, holy hell people are sensitive. Who cares if it didn't depict history and culture correctly, it's fantasy ffs.
This episode has good animation,very good & compelling story. One of the best episodes if not the best.
This is a really beautiful episode and as Chinese this episode could really relate. In so many ancient stories in China, many blamed women as the reason why one man could fall from their peak of career, their study or even their ruling if the country. These women are blamed for centuries because of their beauty and being loved. What young Yan said is pretty much a response to those blames.
And in their adulthood, the theme seems shifted a bit. This story might be ecplised by trying to express and criticise too much. The later theme looks fine actually. But I was hoping the writers could expand their first theme a little. Besides that, it's still a very beautiful episode.
Did you know
- GoofsIt makes absolutely no sense for a Chinese to be using a typical Japanese katana instead of a Chinese sword. Nothing about the character or the setting could justify that choice. It's entirely unlikely to happen, especially for a character with a yin/yang pendant, symbolizing Taoism, around his neck.
