I find the fact that Lakan, who has been fighting a disability his entire life, is the only one who can see how beautiful Fengxian is to be quite wonderful
Jinshi is ENTIRELY himself around her now. Salty, annoyed, bullheaded... and it's perfect. The more he drops the act, the more Maomao likes what she sees.
As early as the first garden party after Maomao was poison testing, she mentioned she liked that immature side of Jinshi and it seems to stem from also having the class differences between them less noticeable for her with their interactions. Maomao often mentions the issue that comes with her as a commoner and even suggested that he could have an order to have her killed at some point if she gets into something too deep. So when Jinshi is acting out of his professional role, they can have a relationship like normal people for her to feel better for a connection between them.
MeiMei legitimately has a huge crush on Lakan and has had one since she was younger. So not only did she give up her own opportunity at happiness, she made sure that Lakan could be with the person that *he loved*
I was suprised how many tears I wept for Lakan and Mei Mei here. I bawled throughout the scene especially when Lakan looked at Feixhan (sic) and found her still beautiful. I wouldn't call their ending "happy" because her mind is lost, but she will pass in comfort and with the hidden realization she was loved.
A thing to take note of, is that since Maomao's parents have now married, it means Maomao herself is considered a true-born child of a noble clan. Which is quite important in regards to her and Jinshi's potential future.
We love this show. My wife has a theory that Fengxian was the old mamasan daughter and Maomao grandmother and that is the reason she never got rid of her like it happens with others. Also, that the mamasan was bitter because she was also left pregnant without being bought.
There's also a theory that Ah Duo, the-consort-who-looks-like-Jin Shi, head maid Feng Ming, may be related to Feng Xiao, Mao Mao's mom. The business of the Granny's management of the Verdigris House and tie-ups with the "supposed" kidnapping and selling of Mao Mao to the rear palace could have been a common way to get "drinking" money. Perhaps these relatives wanted a way to get Mao Mao inside the palace, knowing that Lakan is in a high authority and privilege.
So this isn't covered much in the anime (there's only 1 quick scene with little Maomao and Loumen). In the manga there's a page or two on it. Lakan hung around the Verdigris house in in hopes of finding out what happened to his daughter and one day runs into Loumen and Maomao. He sees her crooked little finger and realizes that she is his daughter but when he reaches out for her she moves to Louman for protection. Lakan realizes that his uncle is raising her. The panel is somewhat heartbreaking because as he watches them walk away he thinks to himself "I don't want to live a life surrounded by chess pieces, I just want to be with my daughter." It's chapter 37 in the manga if you want to look it up and see the scene for yourself.
I am waiting for a lot in season2, hopefully we see the frog and the turtle. Then the moonlight dance. Also the consort who nearly clocks her lady in waiting.
The animation and voice acting just draw you into forgetting its animation. One of a few I've gotten truly invested in. Intelligent and visually stunning. I've watched this sucker in a loop after each last episode and not bored yet.
In *ch 37* and *ch 39* of the manga, it gives more context of why Maomao has an odd relationship with her dad. The anime didn't have some parts, so it gives more explanation for why she dislikes him from how she saw him as a child (the anime has a quick image for this shown with child Maomao), and she doesn't want him to replace Luomen as her father.
that episode was a beautiful ending Lakan reuniting with his love and Maomao dancing under the stars it was truly magnificient I cried at that episode not just because it's the end of the first season but also all the emotions in it you can truly feel them I can't wait for season 2
I almost died with the scene with Maomao asking for the ox' bezoar in the manga... but the anime overdid it with Maomao's shiny eyes and the silent pauses between the two xD I knew back then it would be something stupid but I was still hoping it wasn't. Well, it was. Great reaction as always! I'm so hyped for season 2 >w
Something of note, Jin shi did not get her the promised poison yet. The thing shes admiring at the end of episode is the gift she got during the mid season finale
4:50 this is why i love reactions to anime or games. Moments like these, goves you a whole new experience through the eyes and/pr experience of another person. The feeling when you're watching it solo, is different from when you are watching with someone react to it. The feels is like ramped up to what is usually an 11 becomes a 12
I don’t know if you have ever seen the original “Spice and Wolf” but the a remake with a more loyal story to the book is coming out very soon. That was a great anime so maybe this one will also be good. They made a game but don’t look it up because it can be a bit of a spoiler. Big, big, big fan of Holo the wise wolf.
it is quite impressive how the human body can gerow. my mother accidently cut of the tip of her little finger back when she was an aprentice in a butcher store. the doctors basicly pulled her skin up to cover the wound, but you can't see anything now. the nail just regrew and the finger has the same size as the other one. so for a baby to regrow a part of a finger doesn't seem so far fetched
Anime I'm looking forward to most, I'll use its short title: DanMachi. In fact, the first new episode aired this past week. Ryu for the win for me. But eager to see where it goes.
Seeing these 2 great animes come to an end I must ask , what happened to "a sign of affection" you seemed really into that and I was really looking fwrd to the reactions.
Spoiler-free, absolutely out of context and you'll only know when you see it: As a manga reader, I can't wait for you reactors to finally witness the frog shenanigans. It's a delightful little sequence.
The source material lays that out more clearly. The anime suggested it when there was a scene in an earlier episode that had Mei Mei basically say that she had someone she liked in a scene showing her playing games (probably that time Lakan came to the place to get Maomao). Later we learn with Lakan's backstory, she played games with Lakan sometimes too. So seems she had a crush on him from the past when she was younger.
She implies that she enjoys his company paying games and sort of like an old very good friend. She also said she would mind being with him, but she knows someone else is more important for him.
I find the fact that Lakan, who has been fighting a disability his entire life, is the only one who can see how beautiful Fengxian is to be quite wonderful
True.. he spent his life not recognizing faces, so seeing one, even covered in scars, is very precious to him

After I understood how much Lakan loves his daughter, now I kinda understand his face when he saw the guard hit Maomao. That's his rage face.

At that moment, everyone knew she would say something stupid and headbutt.

after knowing what Lakan went through. I can't help but root for the guy.

I didn't like him at first but this episode and this just makes more sad for him. Though I love how much Maomao loves Loumen.
I cant wait for season 2.
The frog.
I am waiting for a lot in season2, hopefully we see the frog and the turtle. Then the moonlight dance. Also the consort who nearly clocks her lady in waiting.
I can't wait to see the professional farmer in like 10 years
🐸 yes
The animation and voice acting just draw you into forgetting its animation. One of a few I've gotten truly invested in. Intelligent and visually stunning. I've watched this sucker in a loop after each last episode and not bored yet.
Yay Season 2 confirmed
The frog 🐸 incident will be hilarious, cant wait 😆
i loved this show so much. Maomao is such a fun main character and I love her dynamic with Jinshi
In *ch 37* and *ch 39* of the manga, it gives more context of why Maomao has an odd relationship with her dad.

Great reaction as always! I'm so hyped for season 2 >w
u know its strong when u are watching this for second time and still cant not cry
:x
Poor Lakan and maomao's mother :(
Something of note, Jin shi did not get her the promised poison yet. The thing shes admiring at the end of episode is the gift she got during the mid season finale

Maomao must look serious and respectful with higher-ups, so when jinshi shows his true self, he invites her to do the same.
And notice way camera moves with her its exquisite it just goes to show how much anime has changed
meimei was relly kind. she clearly had a chance
This is my anime of the year. The story was amazing. Can't wait for season 2
1:59 To be fair he is a father, he is bound to dislike other men touching his daughter.
Season2 is scheduled to start in 2025🌸
9:07 That mini heart attack 😱
Why do they do this to us? 😅
hedbuttt thats the best
I don’t know if you have ever seen the original “Spice and Wolf” but the a remake with a more loyal story to the book is coming out very soon. That was a great anime so maybe this one will also be good. They made a game but don’t look it up because it can be a bit of a spoiler. Big, big, big fan of Holo the wise wolf.
This series was so amazing and i love it so much! I hope season 2 come soon.😊
Looking forwards to the next season, knowing the light novel, it will be very exciting.
One thing I learned about reading the LN was never take Maomao's POV at face value. It's what she thinks, some things might just be assumptions.
It was a shame that Jinshi-sama's line "Don't sew here~😱" was cut out
Your reaction at the end
The baby finger really confused me. But apparently a baby can regrow fingertips if only a small bit is amputated.
it is quite impressive how the human body can gerow. my mother accidently cut of the tip of her little finger back when she was an aprentice in a butcher store. the doctors basicly pulled her skin up to cover the wound, but you can't see anything now. the nail just regrew and the finger has the same size as the other one. so for a baby to regrow a part of a finger doesn't seem so far fetched
This show is so good. I loved this season finale
If she loved this show that much, she would love 'nirvana in fire'.
Why she know that Meimei love Maomao’s father? That’s kinda hard thing to discover for basically most of reacter.
Anime I'm looking forward to most, I'll use its short title: DanMachi. In fact, the first new episode aired this past week. Ryu for the win for me. But eager to see where it goes.
Seeing these 2 great animes come to an end I must ask , what happened to "a sign of affection" you seemed really into that and I was really looking fwrd to the reactions.
I bet that maomao's mom doesn't even care about maomao.
Now now 😂🤣
Spoiler-free, absolutely out of context and you'll only know when you see it:
As a manga reader, I can't wait for you reactors to finally witness the frog shenanigans. It's a delightful little sequence.
Wait, Meimei was in love with Lakan? I must’ve totally missed that.
The source material lays that out more clearly. The anime suggested it when there was a scene in an earlier episode that had Mei Mei basically say that she had someone she liked in a scene showing her playing games (probably that time Lakan came to the place to get Maomao).

Season 2 coming winter/spring release 2025
Please watch „Whisper me a love song“ next season. It’s a really good story and trailer looked pretty good so far
Re:Zero Season 3 trailer is out, and it's unbelievable! Will you react to it? 🙏🔥
