Today in the “Discover this anime” series, we’ll talk about “Saiunkoku Monogatari”.

Categories: Comedy, Fantasy, Novel, Romance, Shoujo

Source: Anime News Network

Recommended Fansubs: Exiled-Destiny [Exiled-Destiny] for season 1,
C1-Animanda [C1_Animanda] for season 2

My opinion: A very good series which didn’t stand out very much, thus not known by many people. 78 episodes (39×2) may sound a bit long but that’s definitely not the case. Very bright colors, lots of unique characters, and a scenario that draws you deep into a another world : Saiunkoku.
This series may not be for everyone. You either like it or not (I think); no in-between. Personally I was a bit skeptical about one girl surrounded by men (you know, the cliche harem anime), but that’s not it. The only thing I regretted after finishing this series was “Where’s season 3? ”. Once you start watching, it’s hard to stop.

It’s been a while I didn’t post about artists, so let’s do this :3

Shino (茨乃)
Circle name : Eefy (エーフィー).

I have no idea whether this person is a he or a she, but Shino’s artworks sure are something.

If you like Vocaloid, B★RS, K-ON or Touhou, this artist’s for you (And even if you don’t, have a look, because you’ll probably like some of the works nonetheless).

As a general rule, I’ll never post more than 5 pictures of an artist when I feature him/her.

You may have noticed its been a few days I’ve only been posting PotD and not full articles.

My current place has a crappy Internet so all I’m able to post are the pictures I got with me. Will be back in a few days with a new Japanese artist article.
