"She's sick! She's ruined!"
"She's the most beautiful thing in the goddamned world."
Some things the show doesn't cover.
- MaoMao is creeped out by Lankan because when they first met he was beaten and dirty after being kicked out of the Verdigris house. He knew she was his daughter because he could see her face. But he was creepy about it and reached out his hand going "Maomao...Maomao". This creeped Maomao out so she didn't want to associate with him.
-I was told that it was implied in the light novel Meimei in fact had crush on Lankan, more of a "it would be nice if we were together" feel. Maomao wanted to help Meimei and Meimei had to let go of her feeling because she knew the truth.
-It also seems Maomao didn't think it possible for someone to love a courtesan who has lost all beauty, so that's why she hoped for Meimei.
-it was also stated Lankan spent 300k silver
Added note : La clan was in debt because of that price (though it's just a running joke, Lakan's nephew always busy finding ways to get money)
if that Light novel bit is true than thank you cause that has been eating away at me so much. I could never tell why Meimei was sad at the end there, I knew it was Happy for her sister but did not know if it was added sadness at not being picked
If they would’ve shown us the scene of MaoMao meeting him I think I probably would’ve liked episode 23 more
Thanks! I was curious how much Lankan actually spent. I was thinking it was going to be an absurd amount or almost nothing.
I thought Fengxian would be priceless to him. Although she has lost all her beauty and is "worthless," in his eyes she is "priceless." No amount of money would buy this person. But again that wouldn't really make sense because the brothel has to be funded one way or another.
you notice how the animators used her hair to hide her nose. according to the books she lost her nose to the syphilis
It was shown clearly in the manga. I guess it was considered quite gory for the anime, so they hid the missing nose with the hair.
@@GhostRiderLSOV and its kind of a shame since it showed how strong that guys love for her really was, on the manga that panel where he sees her healthy and beautiful hits very hard
Yeah she was way more mutilated in the manga and it really exemplified that Lakan didn't become able to see her face when he recognized her intelligence because she crossed this magical line in his mind but rather that her mind and personality caused him to fall in love with her and from then on he saw a mask of her own face because he decided that she was the pinnacle of beauty and would never see her as anything less his entire concept of beauty exists centered around her and he can see Maomao because she shares those traits with her mother. He loved her not just because she was intelligent or beautiful but because she was the final piece to his soul that connects him to the world that makes him fully human the other half to his very soul.
I also don't know if it's on purpose, but the moment everyone else stops looking like Go stones is when his attention is 100% on the woman he loves.
She is his world, and the rest doesn't matter to him.
I think she likes him being immature because it’s real. She’s picking that “Jinshi” is fake af. “Jinshi” is supposed to be 24. But he’s really 19, which is why his real self is a bit more immature. Anytime he’s acting immature she likes it, but perhaps it’s that subconsciously she’s picking up that that’s him being real.
Im inlove with Maomao's VA. From a tomboyish lady to a cheeky gremlin, she's outdone herself in this anime.
Aoi Yuki is an amazing voice actor, she has such an incredible range of motion that, at first, I didn't recognize her as Maomao until maybe 3-4 episodes in when I started to hear it. I love VAs that not only have complete control over their tone but also have that perfect amount of a gentle rasp to their speech, something I rarely hear (done well) in English VAs.
There's another (honestly, really *MID* - I'd even say kinda bad) show called "So I'm a Spider, So What". Nothing too remarkable about the show itself... except Aoi Yuki completely owns the lead role. An absolute manic, salty, lunatic of a performance in the lead role, and it entirely makes the show something I've rewatched.
@@d112cons endings slapped, first one was performed by her too iirc
Never watched the show though 😅
@@Ncyphen i feel so stupid now.
Shouldve known it was Aoi Yuki. My favorite anime is Saga of Tanya the Evil, and she herself voices Tanya.
God how could I ever forget?
@@d112cons I disagree, Spider is one of the better isekai out there and the novels honestly great with the exception of the ending which was kinda disappointing but the anime did have kind of bad animation and was practically being carried by Aoi Yuki
MeiMei has such a big heart for her to let the man of her dreams, the man she loves, be with the woman he only wanted in his life. My heart is aching for her, but I'm also very happy that she did the right thing.
Huh? I didn't get the impression that she loved him at all. She would accept his offer to buy her because she knows he would treat her ok. He's safe.
Yeah, it irked me when I saw people misinterpret Meimei's hand movement as "fear of Lakan." She had spent the most time with him of the 15 years, and really came to be the only one there to understand him. Of course she would crush on him. She steadied her resolve to make sure she could do what she needed to do, to try and free Fengxian from her torment.
@@ColinsComments she did. It was very clear in the novels. They even took out the part where Maomao said Meimei and Lakan only played Go and talked about Maomao whenever they were together. Though Maomao thought she was just being polite to Maomao by telling her they didn't sleep together since Lakan is her dad. Spoiler ahead to further my point:
When Fengxian died Maomao thought of Meimei and whether she still had feelings for Lakan. She thought that maybe she could marry him now that he's single again.
@@ColinsComments"If you'd been honest about your feelings from the start... This could all have been over and done with... before I ever had the chance to get my hopes up."
What Meimei said in the manga. Idk how else to interpret it other than she developed feelings for him. (Spoiler below)
And as OP said, Light Novel vol 6:
"Maomao wondered if Meimei still had feelings for the likes of him(Lakan). Did she know there was no longer a bought courtesan at his house."
I mean there you go. Couldn't get anymore straightforward than that.
@@tabiren382she will likely wait until he is ready to return and play go with her, if ever. She also may find someone else by then.
This is why I like Lakan's character so much. Dude started life on hard mode, found someone he truly cared about, lost them due to unfortunate circumstances outside his control, and lived his life trying to get close to and take care of his daughter. The anime doesn't show it but he would return to the brothel daily asking about Mao mao and whether a child was born resulting in the old lady beating him with a broom but he didn't care. One day after getting beat he encountered Mao Mao being walked through the area by her adoptive father whose her actual grand uncle. Lakan doesn't actually recognize his face but knows she's taken care of by family. He approached her all beat up which scared her as a kid.
I also feel bad for Mei Mei in this as well. It didn't go into it but Mei Mei was being encouraged to be "bought out" and move on as she's getting older (she's in her late 20s early 30s). However she tells Mao Mao she's waiting for her prince charming. As you read through this is actually Lakan. Mei Mei was Mao's mothers assistant and whenever Lakan would come to the brothel he would visit and spend time with her. Arguably he's one of her oldest and possibly original clients. It wasn't shown in the anime but unlike the other women in the brothel due to the amount of time he's spent with the old lady and Mei Mei he see's a blank face but he actually see's the hair as he's able to better differentiate them. However Mei Mei's pride combined with wanting Lakan and Mao's mother to be happy showed Lakan that she was still alive which is why she cried when Lakan chose her over Mei Mei but I believe she knew how much he cared for her which is why she gave him the chance to reunite.
to look back on it 11:57 You saw one larger finger tip (her mothers) and a little nub (hers) fall out of the bag.
I covered my mouth and started crying when it showed ho he see’s her just as beautiful as the day they met. “Oh my god he can’t any of it” I believe was my words.
Not sure if it was noticed last episode, but when Fengxian said she wanted to continue playing go while Lakan wants to continue playing chiangxi(chess). Based from the author notes Fengxian wanted a girl where as Lakan wanted a boy.
In the box with the rose, from the manga MaoMao made several safety nets to make sure Lakan gets the idea. The blue rose was given, also MeiMei was there but what is not shown is the box has a compartment in the back which contains a letter.
Yeah, but the letter was hidden. And it was also implied in MaoMao thoughts that she wants MeiMei to be bought. Though, MaoMao has tsundere tendencies, so it could be not true. Also, I had an impression that MaoMao has rather complicated and multifaceted feelings towards Lakan, and that wasn't conveyed enough in the anime imo.
If there's some of the nailbed left, the fingertip (bone and all,) can use the nail's growth as a guide to regrow. This only works in children whose growth plates aren't fused, though (so like a prepubescent child.)
Oh.... That's kinda scary actually
I had to go look up the chapter in the manga. And gosh... It hit so much harder because there was a scene of him in a groom's outfit raising his glass with lanterns and absolutely smiling ear to ear. Mangaka really made this quiet gloomy colored sleazy man brightly glowing and brimming with joy.
Whenever Maomao contemplates her origin, she looks at the pinky finger of her left hand. She is well aware of the story.
Not to mention her recurring memory of her mother driving a knife at her from when she took the fingertip as a baby
A few additional things the anime kind of glossed over:
- after Fengxian got knocked up by Lakan, the Verdigris House took a huge reputation hit, you can see the entrance is in disrepair when Lakan comes back
- after finding out about Maomao, Lakan took the position of family head from his brother and father and spent large amounts of money on Verdigris House. It took years to gain back their reputation, but they got there. (Also, he may have wanted to improve Maomao's living conditions in this way, since she refused to live with him)
So, this isn't a spoiler, it's a detail that the anime left out. It was in the corresponding manga chapters and is pretty important. However, considering what happened on your Patreon recently, I'm still marking this as a spoiler just in case they're just postponing the detail for next session.

In Lakan's backstory he brought up his uncle (the one who taught him to use Go to distinguish people) being a brilliant man and the only one who understood him. That uncle was Luomen. He was kicked out the family after becoming a eunuch. When Mao Mao was born Luomen knew she was Lakan's daughter, and that's part of the reason he adopted her. So Luomen and Mao Mao actually are blood related, he's her great uncle.
Also, Lakan is aware it's his uncle Luomen who is caring for Mao Mao. He was actually very relieved when he found out, since in addition to his daughter being alive she was also being raised by one of the few people Lakan actually respected. However, while Lakan was relieved Luomen was the one looking after Mao Mao, he has been trying to get Mao Mao to live with him for years. In previous episodes it's mentioned how Lakan has been trying to buy out Mao Mao's contract at the brothel. He wanted to buy out Mao Mao and pay off her debt so he could finally live with his daughter.
That's why Lakan hates Jinshi.😂Throughout the second half of the series Lakan is always bothering Jinshi with mysteries and impossible tasks because he's pissed that Jinshi bought out Mao Mao's contract before he could.🤣
That makes a lot of sense now... damn that is rough.
Definitely a spoiler but I welcome it 👍. Thats really cool
@@jtcgaming3360 I don't think its that much of a spoiler at all, its pretty clear that Luomen is Lakan's uncle, firstly through how he talks about him and also how he looks in the flashbacks. Of course not everyone will pick up on it and its not directly stated in the anime but there's enough hints to say that even without manga/novel info one could deduce their connection.
24:32 Was 100% certain Alicia would say that. :D
I also knew Alicia would call her that....🤣
Lakan: "you're as beautiful as the day I lost you"
Fengxian: *smiles*
Alicia: *sobs*
Me: *smiling like an idiot*
You can see during the show that the little fingers nail is a bit crooked, and she even comments on it when she paints her fingers. Its easy to miss it tho. :D
The man who can't see faces continues to love the woman who lost hers.
Lakan reuniting with Fengxian, and Maomao dancing for her mother, always brings me to tears as well.
So a few people have commented this but I'm gonna bring it up again, after watching the episode Meimei's response bugged me, so I went and reread the LN "The things folks make me do..."
In the second LN; there's at least 10 and I am awaiting the kindle release of LN 11.
There are some differences with the sequence of events, firstly Meimei opened a window not a door:
"... If I am your desire, then I will have no hesitation." so saying, she pattered over to the great window that looked onto the courtyard and opened it. The curtain fluttered, and a few stray flower petals drifted into the room. "But if you're going to chose, then chose with your eyes open."
He then jumps out the window, but the biggest change is Meimei, or to be more accurate her reaction. Quote:
... Meimei came up behind her, her dress dragging on the floor as she entered the room to sit across from the sick woman. She took the woman's bony hand. "If only you had said what you wanted to begin with, Elder Sister. Why didn't you speak up sooner?" Meimei seemed to be crying; he could tell when he heard the sob. "Why not let it be over before I started to hope?"
Lakan didn't understand why Meimei was crying. He was busy studying the woman, who looked affably at the Go stone.
She was as beautiful as balsam.
To be clear, whenever Lakan visited it would be Meimei who saw him. It is inferred here that she would have gone with him gladly, but her pride demanded that it be a fair contest, that Lakan should chose between her and her Elder Sister.
For those hoping for more details; I'm afraid I must disappoint, the anime has ended with the epilogue of LN book 2, so you will have to go get the next book if you want more details.
If this show ended right here, I wouldn't be upset. This was a great ending.
Thank you for your new video, new reaction. I hope in the future we will all watch the second season the same way.
And it seems that old granny was the only villain in this unfortunate story.
MaoMao really is a cat. Waiting for the season 2 for more cat moments.
In the previous episode Maomao playing chess gave me a similar vibe as Jotaro playing poker or figuring out the controls in "Oh, that's a baseball" 😆
11:49 A little clarification for this moment and why Maomao keeps looking at her left pinky finger: Its not a commonly known fact but in the case of an infant having their fingertips sliced they will regrow if the cut is just before the fingernail. Any further and you're out of luck.
And with the end of that, spring season begins and alicia gets to pick from the new crop of anime
What I love is that she did smash the monacle. But she did it in a way that made everyone happy and fixed the problem, like a good healer.
Edit: also I won't lie, I don't cry easy, but this episode got me like a hookup randomly triggering my dysphoria 8 hours later
Maomao was raised by a father she knew wasn't her biological dad but who raised her with respect and love, but maybe not a lot of emotion or physical touch.
He basically treated her like a peer, and as a result she matured very early...probably too early.
She knew her mother didn't want her, and suspected that her dream of being attacked by a woman actually happened.
She knew of her father from gossip from courtesans and admiration from her dad.
She grew up in the streets.
She also grew up in oppulence and fake intimacy, but was shown real love by the courtesans that helped raise her.
She was considered a valid medical practitioner before she even really hit puberty.
Maomao's life has been incredibly complicated from day one. Of course she thinks she hates immaturity.
I think I mentioned that MaoMao and Luomen's relationship mirrored Sherlock Holmes and his older brother, Mycroft, but on second thought, Lakan is an even greater Mycroft Holmes than Luomen, for while Luomen never makes conjuctures, and instead bases everything on observation and evidence, Lakan just follows his instincts while having very little information or data to work with.
"she was cold, distant, cut-off kind of person"
me "ha, cut-off, that's a good one"
I'm pretty sure Mao Mao's finger was the tiny one. The big one was the mom's.
A small touch I liked about the whole, Lahken still sees her beautiful scene, is a lot of time they show both partners as they were before; but for him he’s still old
He is also putting on an act of being 24. When he's immature, it's like he's being more like the real 19 year old he is, the real him.
Alicia calling Gaoshun a GILF fucking sent me!
Is she wrong tho...
Maomao does actually have a slighly crooked finger so her pinky did have an abnormality I just assume they toned it down because it would be difficult to animate consistently
Even aside from the visual beauty of the dance scene, the in-universe intent behind it really is beautiful. Fengxian mutilated Maomao in her infancy, she chased her out of her sickroom in later years, Maomao in turn visits her only out of obligation and calls her “stupid woman”… and yet, at the end, with _maybe_ a year or two of Fengxian’s life left? Maomao sent the man she loved to her (despite secretly hoping he’d take her kind, gentle, and patient big sister), and danced for her as beautifully as she could, like the child of the pleasure district she is. I’m not a Christian, so this term isn’t a part of my religious vocabulary, and I might be misusing it, but… it feels like a moment of grace. Bidding her farewell with genuine best wishes and forgiveness, even though they were never able to truly be mother and daughter.
What a fantastic show man, such a beautiful moment with the withered rose realization. It's also cool MeiMei followed in her sister's footsteps cause she also plays go. The cat did not get her new toy, maybe next time though. Thanks for the video!
You should try to give the manga a shot too while waiting for season 2. It's fun to see the difference in portrayal in the original manga vs. getting turned into the anime
Congrats on finishing the season! I was so stoked to see you do this anime, I'm glad you liked it so much!
oh yeah that was a beautiful finale Lakan reunited with Maomao's mother Maomao dancing under the stars I love it I can't wait for season 2
Not needed. But I really like the English VAs. Thats obvious , dub actors have popped off in recent years. But the voice actor for Lakan especially is an actor I haven’t seen this strong in a role like this before and it’s just really empowering
Two finger pieces Fengxian and Maomao were in the letter.
About the finger, you kinda missed it but the pouch contained 2 fingers as it was mentioned on previous episodes, the mothers and maomaos, the big finger you paused on was the mothers there was also a small baby finger that drops. And yes you are right, her little pinky is deformed, the only scene in the anime where you can notice it is when maomao shows her painted nails and its kinda easy to miss because the animation and its not something you pay attention to on that scene, but on the manga its clearly shown that her pinky is deformed
19:53 I just realized that I read this line the other way around, the first time.
Watch the scene again: there is a finger and a pearl like thing. She cut off her own finger and the fingertip off Maomao. Obviously, humans won't regrow an entire finger, but the fingertip, especially depending on the angle of the cut, can look entirely normal.
The bait and switch is SO *GOOD*
"I got you this time, at the finale"
Don't you mean you got us at the climax?
Closure?
I noticed two things 1. Lakan apparently did this long ago to woo a woman, Maomao’s mother since he had no interest in women before and after her. 2. Maomao had a wooden box that contained, a blue rose from her or from the only other person who made them, Lakan.
Coupled with painted finger nails that Maomao’s mother wore when playing GO with him.
It looks like she is about to bring closure for herself, her brothel family, Lakan, and her mother. This is not reconciliation too many years, too much pain, too much sadness, …
This was my favorite anime of the season. Frieren was great. I don't dispute that. This show just had a bit more urgency that kept me more on the edge of my seat than Frieren.
Both rival Mob as one of my favorite animes ever
Im so glad i watched this series. i deduced he wasnt the vile person they wanted me to believe he was. He sadly never got the family he wanted but Maomao exists and he gets to spend what time Fengxian has left with her.
When he took to infirmary after garden party she saw him acting young but she liked it.
hey, stumbled upon your reaction an just couldn't stop =) thanks
That finger tip thing threw me until I looked it up. Looking forward to more great, unspoiled (you spoilers know what you did) reactions
Fengxian
The people who Maomao cherishes, Loumen, old lady, Meimei, Juka, Pairin, perhaps her mother, Fengxian, need closure and this her way of perhaps not healing but closure so all of them can move forward.
Lakan was self aware of his issues that his Uncle Loumen tried to help him. But in his arrogance he did not try to really understand those around him. His failure to connect either Fengxian or understand her communications with him. After THREE years he finally understood.
He was not malicious just lazy and neglectful - abandoning Fengxian dooming her to her shameful state and disease.
Maomao understands it was not all his fault so she does not hate him but also has no affection for him. His stupidity does not excuse him nor does she forgive him, but does not see him as malicious. He may even a grown more self aware ergo his clumsy attempts to connect with his daughter whose mother he ignored for 3 critical years.
Recall her comment she lost ability for love in Fengxian womb.
Lakan’s obsession and joy in games he ignored and forgot about Fengxian even though she wrote so many undelivered letters.
He was not evil but he has so much to atone for.
3 years 3 years 3 years 3 years and did nothing to maintain connection. Again in 1000 days he did not contact Fengxian.
Thank you for the awesome journey with this anime Alicia! I'll likely start reading the manga or light novel, since the mystery or at least that weird dreadful air of the new concubine is still bothering me. Take care and be well!
Jinshi use Headbutt!!
super effective.
Honestly if you ask me Maomaos Mom did not deserve that happy ending with how she treated Maomao. Also Lakan doesn't deserve her hatred, he didn't really do anything wrong at any point. He's just kind of a slightly creepy weirdo which Maoamo really can't judge anyone for. I just pray that she someday grows out of this irrational hatred. Also that she'll grow into loving Jinshi.
Ah yes, the happiest of endings. Rotting with syphilis and with a broken mind. What more could a girl ask for
@@CrownofMischief You know exactly what I mean. Getting to be with the man she loved in the end was not something she deserved.
@@Irimu_ I unfortunately do know exactly what you mean. Even after nearly 2 decades of hell, you'd condemn her to die miserably due to actions conducted after being driven insane. I don't condone her actions towards Maomao, but she's suffered enough for them. Let her have a few happy months before she dies from rotting from the inside out
This show was easily my favorite show of last year (plus up to now this year).
Im pretty sure others recommended it to you already but if you want a veeeery similar show (just switch out the medical stuff with folktales and supernatural) I would recommend the show " The Raven of the inner palace" to you!
Anyways thanks for reacting to the apothecary diaries, thanks to you I basically watched this season twice and I loved your reactions!
Radio Rebel reference 😂😂😂😂
-The fourty-seventh video asking for a DanMachi Reaction.
Reason for it, the amout of precious beans, intense moments, interesting fights, funny momets and waifus/husbandos its like the perfect concoction for her to react.
-I am not crying you are crying T_T why was that scene so good T_____T
Hey Alicia. Can you watch Hajime no Ippo soon? I thinknyou will enjoy it a lot because it is very wholesome most of the time, it is probably the best classic sports Anime, and most importantly, Ippo is a Baby and everyone else are just good beans.
You’re right ! M’aimât doesn’t like children and immature behaviour at all but when it’s Jinshi it’s okay
Another banger wrapped up. Good job as always, 'Lisha.
...SO! Any chances of you testing the waters with Fairy Tail openings? :D
SPOILERS:
Manga readers only
Can't wait for that scene with frog 😁😁😁😁
Wouldn’t a frog be smaller?
I remember in my initial viewing of this episode I was kind of disappointed because I thought the climax of Lakahn's story didn't get as much emphasis and budget as I was hoping for after seeing it in the manga and that Maomao's dancing got a bit to much in contrast. But, after having watched your reaction, while I still wish that Lakahn's bit had a bit more emphasis I do have a better appreciation for this finale episode as a whole. Hopefully you can avoid those obnoxious spoilers for next season and/or any other shows you watch on here and thank you for providing an enjoyable second viewing experience with your reaction. I hope you have fun making these and take good care of yourself.
Just binged watched the show and then looked for reaction and it m happy you did one ❤ sorry that the biggest twist in the show was ruined for you but still very entertaining watch look forward to the season 2 reactions 😁
Yeah, she says she has a crooked pinky finger, but you can't really see it in the anime. Dunno if it's visible in the LN or manga, but it ain't here.
Patiently Waiting for SS2 !!
Can't wait for season 2
Wait, you've been watching Sign of Affection? Is that Patreon exclusive, or are we just gonna be getting that later?
A finger tip can regrow for a baby/child.
Ah! I cried, and I cried. =^__^=
Best ep. ever
has she watched Slime? season 3 is coming out soon.
I prefer smug face over a kiss any day.
You should watch Danny Gonzales
You're as beautiful as the day I lost you - Lakan, prolly
Wow can't believe people spoiled you on this stuff. And on patreon? Where they actually have to subscribe to be members and interact? What a bunch of clowns. I'd be fuming too.
Just like I'd be annoyed at the old brothel madam for lying to Lakan that Fengxian was gone when she could've just let him buy her out and take her off their hands. I mean look how much he was willing to pay for her in the end.
See l know how maos dad sees her mom. I know my mom was in a car accident , and supposably injured her nose and brow ridge. My mom is one of the four people l see the face off, and l don't see those. I have a suspicion l may see her the was she was a few decades ago. I didn't see my gran going grey till one day l realised her hair was just white.
Spoiler warning: SEASON 2 is gonna be 🔥
Day 226 of asking Alicia to play Nier:Automata!!
May I suggest One Punch Man?
Day 28 of asking for Moriarty the Patriot reactions
am i the only one that never ship maomao to anybody even to jinshi? . her character felt like it is fine as is no need to force romance.
Next season, we are finally getting it...the FROG!
YOU'RE AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DAY THAT I MET YOU 😢
Writing a comment
OMG IM EARLY
11:48
*@Aliciaxlife* "The finger thing is due to the old superstition of the red string of fate. The string is said to be attached to your little finger and tyes you to your destined love.
Her mom thought her dad abandoned them, so she sent him their little fingers as a soghn they no longer believed in love and were preventing their daughter from finding it.
In her mind she was preventing them from getting hurt again.
😀Credit to *@nataliereeves3594* for forming the explanation better than I did. I don't know if that last part about Fengxian doing it to protect Maomao or not, since she once often chases her latter out whenever she visits to provides medicinal treatment. 🤔Maybe it's both that & out of spite/anger/regret - such is the complexities of the event, itself.
maby she dosent want maomao to seh her the state she ist
@@lupoavanti5666 Maybe. (Anime-)Maomao didn't really specify if she verbalized the kind of outrage she had. I personally don't know about the Light-Novel or Manga. If anyone wants to share, I think its safe to, since that reveal shouldn't be that big of a spoiler-detail....😅right? lol
If your looking for some other anime to react to i would recommend ascendance of a bookworm and violet evergarden, although they are both relatively old now.
