There are still no concrete dates announced, but a few days ago Nice Boat Animations released a new preview to season 2 - and boy, we’re in for a ride. Take a look if you haven’t seen it yet - it looks amazing even if I know some parts will crush my heart…
Here are the links to the original videos on weibo or bilibili!
Also doesn’t the new poster look fantastic?
To celebrate that, I’m going to be posting not one, but two chapters of the manhua today, which will bring us up to date with the first season of the donghua. Enjoy!
I meant to upload this hours ago, along with the rest of my liveblogs, but Tumblr wouldn’t let me, so just sharing it now...
Anyways, I just wanna say how, in spite of already knowing what would happen and knowing that it isn’t actually the end of the story, I still ended up crying at this scene...
It was just so heartbreaking...
The Empress’s indifference, General Qiu’s helplessness, Chen Shi’s crying, and the musician’s hesitation to continue, plus the sad emotional music that followed… Really made me break into tears
What is this? A second post in one day? Well, I still feel bad about not having an episode to post yesterday, and typesetting manhua is a lot easier and quicker than donghua, so I'm giving you a bit more food. Also a lot of those panels have the same things I've had to translate for episode 4, so the translation part is faster, too.
Important note: this episode has so. Much. Court language. Like holy hell I thought my brain would burst. I could fit about half of the meaning in the lines to make it readable, I think. Therefore this translation is a bit looser than I usually like; I hope you will forgive me for this.
Also I'm not above posting thirst traps to get attention, so here:
So. Um. I can’t talk about it in detail yet (*wails*) but I finally finished all of White Cat Legend season 2, and I did it in 2 sittings—since I’m writing on it and Link Click and Belladonna of Sadness for a final paper for class—but basically, what I want to say first is…
Help. I feel like part of me has changed—or at least shifted—in some way. Big *head in hands* mood right now like. Holy shit. 😭
