【海外の反応】薬屋のひとりごと3期1話（第49話）、「我らが毒中毒が帰ってきた」

ブラボー！

>"gonna have to apothercary the s**t out of this."
BRAVO

今期こそちゃんと薬師らしいことをやってほしいわ。肩書きどおりの仕事をしてる場面がほとんど無い気がする。デカい謎解きやらゴタゴタやらカエル騒ぎやらの合間に、日々の仕事として画面の外で片付けられてばっかり。猫猫が自分で試す用の毒を作る、ひびめしみたいなモンタージュが見たい

>>1

I just hope she does actually do some apothecarying this season. Feels like she barely ever does anything her literal job title asks for. Most of it is done off screen as her daily work in between bigger mysteries and drama and getting frogplapped and stuff. I wanna see a hibimeshi like montage of maomao making a poision to test on herself

あいつは暇を持て余してる毒見役だぞ。女は医者の仕事をしちゃいけないって、作中でもはっきり言ってただろ。

>>2

She is a poison taster who has too much free time. Women aren't supposed to do doctor s**t, the show even spelled that out to you.

意外だな、あいつ絵がかなり上手いじゃん

i'm surprised, he's pretty good at drawing

>第1話が出た
>見てるのはだいたい3人
どうしてこうなった？

>First episode is out
>Approx 3 people are watching it
What went wrong?

1期を見始めたばっかりなんだ。追いつくまで時間をくれ。

>>5

I just started S1, need time to catch up.

すっかり忘れてて、今やっと見終わった。字幕をちょっといじってみたぞ。

>>5

I forgot about it and only finished watching it now. Here's a simple subtitle edit.

猫猫の姓は「羅」。
つまり羅猫猫。
でも父親の羅漢を嫌ってるから、人にはまず名乗らない。

罗Luo is Maomao’s last name.
In other words, 罗猫猫 Luo Maomao.
But because she hates her father, 罗汉 Luo Han, she almost never mentions it to others.

あいつはその名前に何の思い入れもないよ。たまたまどこかの扉が開くなら使うってだけで

>>8

she doesn't care about that name, unless it happens to open a door here or there

>たまたまどこかの扉が開くなら使うってだけで
あの子は実は名家の生まれで、皇族の妻になる資格だってちゃんとある。
でも心の底ではずっと引け目を感じてて、自分なんてただの妓女でしかないと思ってるんだよ。

>>9

>unless it happens to open a door here or there
The girl was actually of noble birth; she was indeed qualified to become the wife of a member of the royal family.
But deep down, she had always felt inferior, believing herself to be nothing more than a prostitute.

今回の演出ほんとにひどいな。なぞる漫画が無いとまるで回せないんだな

episode direction is really bad, they really cant handle it without a manga to follow

俺には普通に見えるけど

>>11

Looks fine to me

アニメが漫画の最新話まで追いついちゃったってこと？

>>11

The show adapted up to the current chapter of the manga?

このガキ誰だっけ

who is this brat again

次の皇帝

>>14

The next emperor

マジで？

>>15

for real?

猫猫って話が進むにつれて歳を取る（つまり成長して、見た目も大人っぽくなる）の？話の始まりから何年か経ってるはずなのに、いまだにちんちくりんのままなんだけど。

Does she gets old (I mean, grow up, get visibly older etc.) through the story? I think several years passed since the start of the story, yet she is still a gremlim.

猫猫はそこまで幼く見えねえよ、この節穴どもが。周りの女がやたらデカく描かれてるだけで、猫猫は当時のアジアの女性としてごく普通の見た目だろ。

>>17

Maomao doesn't even look that young you f*****g cretins. Just because most women look irrationally huge, Maomao looks like any asian woman at the time.

これ、すげえダサく見える

This looks so dorky

この作品、皇帝にちょっとでも関わるものは何もかも、思いっきり控えめに角を取って描かれてる。全体的に時代考証を気にしてる作品じゃないけど、ここが断トツでひどい。

>>19

Literally everything even tangentially related to the chinese emperor in this show is wildly toned down and smoothed over. It doesn't try to be accurate in general, but this is by far the most egregious.

足置きはまったく要らないだろ

>>19

The footrest is completely unnecessary

いや、あれは実際の玉座の作りに忠実だよ。皇帝の足は地面に着けちゃいけないんだ。その「地面」ってのが、金や宝石や彫像で飾り立てた高い壇の上だったとしてもな。

>>21

That's actually accurate to how the throne was designed. The emperor's feet shouldn't rest on the ground. Even though the "ground" in this case was an elevated dais covered in gold, jewels, and carved statues.

何年か前に読もうとしたんだけど（本好きの下剋上に似てるって聞いて）、化学知識の切手集めみたいな感じで面白くなかった
作者は事件の調査以外に、話の構成に何か足してくる？
猫猫がもっと良い道具を開発したり、知識を体系化したり、「出世」したり、新しい部下をまとめたりする章はある？
壬氏は猫猫に礼儀作法以外に、政治や行政みたいなことを教えたりする？
物語全体を通したテーマみたいなものはある？（たとえば合理主義や根拠に基づく医療が社会に広まっていくとか）

i tried to read this a few years ago (heard it was similar to bookworm), but it felt like stamp collecting a la chemistry and was thus uninteresting
Does the author add something to the plot structure other than investigation cases?
Are there arcs where Maomao focuses on developing better equipment, codifying her knowledge, progressing her 'career', or managing new subordinates?
Does the Jinshi teach Maomao anything on top of etiquette, like administration and politics?
Is there a broader theme in the story (e.g. rationalism and evidence-based medicine proliferating through society)?

あーあ、俺もアヒル飼いたいわ

damn I wish I had a duck

アヒル育てるのってすごく楽しそうだよな。自分の土地があったら一人で暮らしたいわ。ヤギもいたら最高

>>24

Raising ducks seems so fun I wish I had land to live on my own. Having a goat would be cool too

これって12話？それとも24話？

is this 12 or 24 eps?

字幕がひどすぎる

the subs are atrocious

まだ直ってないのが信じられない。あのままにしとくつもりなの？

Its insane that its still not fixed. Are they gonna leave it like that?

絶対直してほしい。せめて今期の残りの話だけでも
正直、この回を楽しめなかったのはこれのせい。画面に一瞬だけ（もしくは全く）出てこない何行ものセリフを読むために、何度も巻き戻して一時停止しなきゃいけなかった
こんなにセリフが多い人気作で、よくここまでやらかせたもんだと逆に感心するわ…

They better fix them. At the very least for the rest of the season.

It literally brought my enjoyment down of the episode. Having to constantly rewind and pause to read multi lines of dialogue that flash on the screen for a fraction of a second (or not at all)

It's honestly kind of impressive how they f****d up so bad for such a dialogue rich, popular show...

去年それをやろうとして追い返されたのに、また字幕の作業工程やソフトを改悪しようとしてるように見える。どうやら何かを変えたせいで、画面に一度に一か所しか字幕を出せないって制限ができちゃったっぽい。だから画面のどこかに文字の訳が出たり、背景で話してる声の訳が上に出たりすると、メインのセリフの字幕が消えちゃう。めちゃくちゃ見づらい。この回だけのミスならいいんだけど、もし俺の読みどおり工程を変えたのが原因なら、今期の他のクランチロール作品でも同じことが起きるはず。そうなったら、またみんなで大騒ぎしないとダメだな

It seems to me they are back trying to enshittify their subtitling process/software once again, after being chased away from doing it last year. What it looks like to me is that somehow whatever change they’ve made has introduced a limitation such that only one section of subtitling can appear onscreen at any given time. Thus, when an onscreen text translation show up somewhere onscreen, or background dialogue is occurring that gets translated up-top, the subtitles for the main dialogue disappears. It does make it extremely hard to watch. Hopefully this is just some sort of error that occurred in this episode. But if I’m right, and it is due to a process change, this issue should crop up in other Crunchyroll shows this season. If that happens, everyone really needs to get in a big uproar about it once again.

だよな、アマプラ並みの雑さだわ。字幕のタイミングもあの独特のズレ方してるし。全体的に数ミリ秒早く消えてる

Yeah, this is amazon prime level of sloppiness. There also seems to the characteristic odd timing the sub. In general they are disappearing a few ms too quick

クランチロールの字幕のタイミングが本当にズレてる。読むのは速いほうなのに、それでも字幕が消えるのが早すぎる

Subtitle timing on crunchyroll is really off, I'm a fast reader but those subtitles are gone way too fast

コストカットして、2種類の字幕を別々に出せないソフトに乗り換えたらそうなるよ。画面に文字が出たら字幕を切るしかないし、2人が同時にしゃべっても同じ。こういう問題が20年くらい前に解決済みだったらよかったのにな、残念ながらどうしようもないわ（皮肉）

Well thats what you get when you cost cut and change to a program incapable of displaying two sets of subs independently. So if you have text on screen you have to cut the subs or if two people are speaking ect. If only these problems had been solved like 20 years ago at this point alas nothing can be done.

そうそう、画面に文字が出た瞬間にセリフの字幕が消えるんだよな。字幕が一度に一つしか出せないみたいに。単なるミスで、これが新しい標準にならないといいけど

Yeah dialogue is immediately removed when on-screen text pops up, as if only one instance of subs can exist at a time. Hope it's just a mistake and not the new norm.

クランチロールは去年の秋（いや一昨年の秋だったかも？）にも字幕の作業工程やソフトを改悪しようとして、大勢が騒いだから引っ込めたんだよ。またやろうとしてる可能性が高そう。みんなで反発しないと

Crunchyroll was trying to enshittify their subtitling process/software last fall (or maybe the fall before that?) and enough people made an uproar about it that they backed off. It seems likely that they are trying again. People need to push back.

いや俺も読むの速いほうだけど、この字幕は速すぎると思う。タイミングがなんかおかしいわ、知らんけど

Bro I read fast and even I feel these subtitles are to quick. Something off with the timing idk

ちゃんとしたアニメ用の字幕ソフトを使ってなくて、一度に一つしか表示できないんじゃないかな。だから別の文字が出ると前のやつが消える。画面の別の場所でキャラがしゃべってるときでさえそう
今回は本当にひどかった

I feel like they are not using proper anime sub programs and only one thing can be displayed at a time. So if any other text appears the one before leaves. Even when doing characters somewhere other on the screen.
It was really bad this episode.

ソフトは前と同じだよ。誰かが一部のセリフのタイミングを間違えて、終了時間が開始時間より前になっちゃってるんだ

The software is still the same, but someone messed up the timings of some dialogue lines, causing the end time to be earlier than the start time.

それに、まったく字幕が付いてないセリフもあった。猫猫が子供を叩きながら「覚えときなさい」って言ってたところとか
クランチロールのサポートのチャットボットから報告しといた。みんなもそうしたほうがいいよ

And some lines aren't subtitled at all, like when Maomao was beating the kid and telling him to remember.
I made a report about the issue through the CR support chatbot, I advise others to do the same.

白人が中国人に薬をばらまいてる。これどこかで見たことあるな？

White people handing out drugs to chinese people. Where have I seen this before?

今期のラスボスがイギリス人だったら腹抱えて笑うわ
中国はアヘン戦争に負けたけど、それは猫猫がいなかったからだな

Oh I’d laugh my ass off if the British ended up being the big bad this season.
China might’ve lost the opium war but that’s because they didn’t have maomao

法的に別の国ってことになってる「イギリチュ」だろうな

It'll be the legally distinct nation, the Bwitish

猫猫が帰ってきた。やっとまた外に出られたのに、相変わらずトラブルから離れられないのが草
羅漢が帝との行事に出ることなんか気にもせず、鳳仙と将棋…じゃなくて囲碁を打ってるだけで満足してるのが、すごく良い演出だった

Catmao is back, and somehow she still can't stay out of trouble even when she's finally outside again. LMAO.
Lakan being perfectly happy just playing shogi Go with Fengxian and not even caring about attending the event with the Emperor was such a nice touch.

細かいこと言うようだけど、厳密には将棋じゃなくて囲碁を打ってたよ

Not to be pedantic, but technically they were playing Go, not Shogi.

失礼、訂正ありがとう。ボードゲームってときどきごっちゃになるんだよね

I stand corrected, thank you. I confuse the board games sometimes.

クランチロールで見てて、冒頭で字幕がおかしくなってる人ほかにいる？字幕が1秒出てすぐ消えるから読めないんだけど。話が進んだら良くなるといいな

On Crunchyroll is anyone else having subtitle issues at the start? The subtitle displays for one second then vanishes it's impossible to read it. Hopefully it gets better in the episode.

うん、画面に文字の訳が出るとセリフの字幕が消えてた

Yeah, the voice subtitles disappeared when text translations appear on the screen

変なことに、俺のは文字が出たときに消えたのに、その文字の訳も出てこなかった。最初のほうだけで済んでよかったけど

It was strange mine vanished when the text came up but I never got the text translation either. Thankfully it was just for the first part.

そうそう。タイミングを機械で作ったか機械に手伝わせたかで、機械が「新しい人がしゃべり出したら前の人はしゃべり終わった」って決めつけてるなら、「割り込まれた」セリフが全部ただ消えたのも説明がつく。李白の最初のセリフみたいに、まったく訳されてないセリフもいくつかあった

Yeah. Looks like the timing might have been machine generated or assisted and a "new speaker means old speaker stopped" assumption on the part of the machine would explain why every line that was "interrupted" simply vanished. There were also a couple of lines, like Lihaku's first line, that were completely untranslated.

子翠の回想があんなに出てくるとは思ってなかった。また心をえぐってくれてありがとうよ

Was not expecting to see all those Shisui flashbacks. Thanks for the breaking my heart again.

子翠が登場人物たちに、体の面（壬氏）でも心の面（猫猫）でも爪痕を残していったのがはっきり分かるよな

You can definitely tell Shisui left her mark both physically (Jinshi) and emotionally (Maomao) on the cast.

壬氏って「月（ユエ）」のこと？

Is Jinshi Yue?

そう、阿多妃が壬氏を呼ぶときのあだ名だよ

Yeah it’s Ah-Duo nickname for Jinshi

ありがとう。そういう意味だろうとは思ったけど、確信が持てなくてさ

thanks, i figured this is what he meant but i could not be sure.

カードキャプターさくらで学んだことがあるとすれば、ユエは「月」って意味だってこと。壬氏のあだ名であり、象徴でもあるわけだ

If my knowledge from CCS has taught me anything it’s that Yue means moon. Nickname and symbolism for Jinshi.

ああ、中国語の「月」ね

Ah, like in Mandarin.

梨花妃が何事もなく出産できたって聞いて、自分でもびっくりするくらいホッとしたわｗ

Can't believe how glad I was to hear that Lihua gave birth without any complications lol

あの人はあれだけのことがあったんだから、絶対に一息つく資格がある

That woman absolutely deserves a break after all she’s been through.

梨花妃ほんと好き。最初は嫌な女だと思ってたけど、猫猫に治してもらったときのあの感謝っぷりよ。でも侍女たちはひどかったな。姪っ子を捕まえさせたあとは、もっとマシな侍女がついてるといいんだけど

yeah i like lihua so much. in beginning i thought she was a bi..ch but then how grateful she was when maomao cured her. but her ladies in waiting were awful hopefully after they got her niece arrested she god better ladies in waiting

あの人がひどくて情緒不安定な振る舞いをしてたのは、重金属中毒のせいだよ。脳にくるんだ

She was acting horribly and erratically because she had heavy metal poisoning. It affects the brain.

字幕がひどすぎる

the subs sucks ASSS

ほんとタイミングがめちゃくちゃだった
まあ四畳半神話大系と物語シリーズを何年も見てきた甲斐があったわ。速読スキルが役に立った！

Yeah they messed up the timing bad

At least the years of watching tatami galaxy and monogatari paid off, those speed reading skills came in handy!

クランチロールの字幕がこのクールずっとこんな調子なら、よそで見るしかないかも。残念だな。薬屋の過去2期ではこんな問題、全然なかったと思うんだけど

If Crunchyroll's subs are gonna be like this all season i may have to watch this show elsewhere, which is too bad, i dont think i had this issue at all the last two seasons of Apothecary

そう、今期／今回の話に限った話なんだよな。今期のほかの作品も含めて、CRの悪い前兆じゃなきゃいいんだけど

It's specifically this season/episode, yeah. Hopefully this isn't a bad omen for the rest of the season, including other series picked up by CR.

帰ってきたぞ、みんな。
ちょっと待って、OPで顔にひどい傷がある壬氏が映ってなかった？なんだあれ

Yes we are back boys and girls.
Wait, is that Jinshi with a terrible scar on his face during the opening? Wtf

＞ちょっと待って、OPで顔にひどい傷がある壬氏が映ってなかった？なんだあれ
OPを見る限り、猫猫と一緒に旅に出てるっぽいし、また変装か身分を隠す必要があるんだろうね

Wait, is that Jinshi with a terrible scar on his face during the opening? Wtf
It seems like he and Maomao are on the road together, judging by the OP, so he probably needs another disguise/cover.

自分もそう思う。なんで低評価されてるのか分からん

this is what i think as well, not sure why you got downvoted.

何か起きるなら別だけど、たぶん起きないと思う。OPを見る限り壬氏は宮廷の外に出るみたいだし、変装なんじゃないかな

Unless something happens, which I dont think it will, i think it might be a disguise since Jinshi seems to be getting out of the palace based on the opening

猫猫と趙迂の関係が好き。猫猫に事実上の弟ができたって感じでなんか可愛いｗ
蝗には見た目以上の何かがありそうだな。裏にあるでかい陰謀に踏み込んでいくのが楽しみ

I like the Maomao-Chou-u relationship. It’s kind of adorable how Maomao’s basically got herself a little brother now lol.
Seems there’s more to these locusts than meets the eye. Keen to dive into the greater conspiracy here.

＞猫猫と趙迂の関係が好き。猫猫に事実上の弟ができたって感じでなんか可愛いｗ
しかも、猫猫が全然知らない（というか気にもしてない）養子の兄弟がもう一人いるっていうね

I like the Maomao-Chou-u relationship. It’s kind of adorable how Maomao’s basically got herself a little brother now lol.
On-top of the other adoptive brother she has no idea (or care) about.

まずいのは、外から見ると羅の一族が子の一族の男の生き残りをかくまってるように見えることだよな。前期で子の一族には濃い皇族の血が流れてるって分かってるし

The unfortunate optic is from an outsider perspective it looks like the La clan is harboring a male survivor of the Shi clan, and from the last season we know that the Shi clan has strong royal blood

あるいは、羅の一族が子の一族の子を預かってるって見方もできるかも。羅漢と東宮としての壬氏が子の一族を討ったんだから、皇帝が人質の大半を引き取って、羅の一族に一人預けたって形で

That or it could be seen as the La clam taking in a Shi as a ward, since Lakan and Jinshi as the crown prince, vanquished the Shi’s the emperor took most of the hostages while giving La clam one

クランチロールの字幕のひどさはマジでありえない。誰もチェックしてないんじゃないかってレベル。別の字幕が画面に出たときに、字幕同士が割り込み合うとかあっちゃいけないだろ

Its actually outrageous how bad the Crunchyroll subtitles are. Its as if nobody even watched them to check if they were ok. Subtitles shouldn't be interrupting each other when another subtitle appears on the screen.

帰ってきてくれて嬉しいけど、小蘭と子翠が恋しすぎる……
害虫じゃなかったら、響迂のスケッチに描かれた栄養失調の蝗があまりにしょぼくれてて、ちょっと同情したくなるくらいだった（あれだけ鮮明に覚えてて描けるのも意外な才能だよな）

It's great to be back but I miss Xiaolan and Shisui so much man ;_;
If it weren't for them being pests, I almost want to feel bad for the malnourished locusts from how slouched they look in Kyou-u's sketch of them (which also speaks to his surprising ability to both remember and draw them so vividly)

薬屋が帰ってきてほんと嬉しいけど、字幕はひどかったし、CRはまた映像がちょっとボヤける例のやつをやってた。普段は文句言わないんだけど、これだけの大作ならいちばん手厚く扱われると思うじゃん

So happy Apothecary Diaries is back but man the subtitles were awful and CR was doing that thing where the episode would get slightly blurry. I usually don’t complain but you would think a massive show like this would receive the best treatment

手作業の手間なんてまったくかけてないんじゃないかな。作品が大きかろうが小さかろうが、全部自動処理っぽい。ほんと最悪

I don't know if they put any amount of manual effort at all. Everything seems to be an automated system regardless of how big or small the title is. It f*****g sucks.

やり手婆＞猫猫＞趙迂っていう虐待の連鎖に誰も触れてないの？(´・ω・`)

Nobody is talking about the cycle of abuse that is Old Lady>Mao Mao>Chou-u 🙁

大丈夫、連鎖は断ち切られるよ。趙迂には人を叩くための手が余ってないからな！

Dont worry the cycle will be broken; Chou doesn't have a spare hand to abuse people with!

ファンサブ勢が20年前にとっくに解決したことを、なんでクランチロールは毎回しくじれるんだ？

How does crunchyroll consistently fail at something every fansubber figured out 20 years ago?

ほんとひどい。たぶん機械翻訳だし、背景の台詞が入るたびに文が途切れるし、訳されてない部分まであった。誰か直してくれ。こんなの我慢するくらいなら1〜2日余計に待つほうがいい

its so bad. most likely machine translated, sentences cutting off for background dialogue, some stuff just not translated. hope someone fixes it, I'd rather wait 1-2 extra days than suffer through this

ファンサブ勢は本気で気にかけてた。CRはまったく気にしてない

The fansubbers actually gave a s**t. CR gives none.

今回だけでストーリーの糸がめちゃくちゃ増えた気がする。ゲーム・オブ・スローンズみたいな政治の駆け引きが始まるのか？
とにかく猫猫が帰ってきて嬉しい。もうすぐ50話とか信じられん。あと200話はやってほしい

I feel like this episode spawned so many story threads. Are we going to get Game of Thrones political maneuverings?
Anyways, I'm glad Maomao is back. Can't believe we're almost at 50 episodes. Hope we get 200 more.

＞今回だけでストーリーの糸がめちゃくちゃ増えた気がする。ゲーム・オブ・スローンズみたいな政治の駆け引きが始まるのか？
政治的な火種になりそうではあるけど、梨花妃の息子が生きてるのは嬉しいし、玉葉妃が皇后として扱われてるのも嬉しい。
（でもかわいそうな里樹妃はまだ苦しんでる）

I feel like this episode spawned so many story threads. Are we going to get Game of Thrones political maneuverings?
It might be a political mess in the making but I'm happy Lihua has an alive son and I'm happy Gyokuyou got the Empress treatment.
(Poor Lishu is still suffering though)

ほんと里樹妃かわいそう。家族すら味方してくれてなさそうなのがキツい

Yeah poor Lishu. It sucks that it looks like even her family doesn't support her.

よし、今期がどう転ぶのか楽しみだ。
でもクランチロール、字幕直せ。誰か別の人が喋ったり画面に訳が表示されたりするたびに、実際に喋ってる人の下の字幕が消えてた。
報告したから、これで直ってくれるといいんだけど

Okay, I'm interested to see where the season goes.
But Crunchyroll, fix these subtitles. Anytime someone else talked or translation was shown on the screen, it removed the subtitles at the bottom of who was actually talking.
Reported it and hopefully this fix this s**t.

玉葉妃が正式に皇后になったってことは、皇帝は壬氏を飛ばして（壬氏が弟じゃなくて自分の息子だってことはたぶん知ってるはず）赤ちゃんを東宮にするつもりなのかな？
ついでに言うと、字幕はほんと恥さらしレベル。皇后、皇太后、女帝の称号をまともに区別できてない

Since Gyokuyou has now been officially made Empress Consort, does this mean the Emperor plans to pass over Jinshi (since he presumably knows that Jinshi is his own son, not his younger brother) and make the baby the Crown Prince?
As a side note, the subtitles are an absolute disgrace. The subtitles are unable to properly distinguish the titles of Empress Consort, Empress Dowager, and Empress Regnant from each other.

皇帝はずっと壬氏を飛ばそうとしてるんだと思ってた。だからこそ弟があんなに頻繁に後宮に隠れてるのを許してたわけで。本人たちの好みを抜きにしても、子どもの跡継ぎは大人の跡継ぎより脅威が小さい。大人なら代替わりを無理やり進める力があるからな

I kind of always assumed the Emperor was trying to skip Jinshi, hence why he let his brother hide so frequently in the Rear Court as he did. Even putting aside their personal preferences, a child heir is less of a threat than an adult heir as one has more power to force the transition.

>本人たちの好みを抜きにしても、子どもの跡継ぎは大人の跡継ぎより脅威が小さい。大人なら代替わりを無理やり進める力があるからな
皇帝にとっての脅威は小さいだろうけど、国にとってはずっと大きな脅威だよ。皇帝が死んだときに跡継ぎが幼すぎたら、代わりに政治を任された摂政に傀儡の皇帝として使われるのは目に見えてる

>Even putting aside their personal preferences, a child heir is less of a threat than an adult heir as one has more power to force the transition.

Less threat to the Emperor, sure, but a much bigger threat to the empire itself since an heir that is far too young when the Emperor dies would inevitably be used as a puppet Emperor by whoever regent gets appointed to rule in his place.

2期より作画のクオリティがちょっと上がった気がする。判断しにくいけど。初回だけかもしれないし。OPに壬氏そっくりなのに頬に違う傷がある男がいたんだけど、あれ誰なんだろう

It feels like the animation quality got a small bump from season 2, its hard to tell. It might also just be for this first episode. One guy in the opening looks so much like Jinshi, but has a different scar on his cheek. I wonder who that is.

2クール放送に加えて12月の劇場版まで発表されるとか、自分みたいなファンにはごちそうすぎる:) 猫猫が帰ってきた

getting a two part season plus a full theatrical movie announced for December is such an absolute feast for fans like me:) maomao is back

実写化も控えてるしな！

There's also the upcoming live-action adaption!

実写はまだだいぶ先だと思う……それに海外でどうやって見ればいいんだ……クランチロールが配信してくれるのかな？

Think the live action is a good while... also how to see it in the west... would crunchyroll pick it up as well?

いいスタートだったし笑いのセンスも最高。でもクランチロールは字幕どうにかしてくれ！ところどころ速すぎて読めすらしなかった🤬

Great start, loving the humour but can Crunchyroll fix these subtitles! Couldn’t even read with how fast they were going at some points 🤬

同じく！指摘してくれてよかった。いくつかの場面でうちの環境だけの不具合かと思ってた

Same pinch! I'm so glad you pointed it out, I thought it was a glitch during some scenes on my end only

我らが毒中毒が帰ってきた😽

Our poison addict is back😽

しかも相変わらずこそこそこそっとするやつやってる！

And she's still does the sneak sneak sneak thing!

しかも疫病を治すことになるぞ

And she's gonna cure a plague

殺虫剤を発明するんだな

She’s gonna invent insecticides

ついに猫猫が帰ってきた！今回の趙迂との姉弟みたいなやり取りがほんと好きだし、来週の壬氏との再会が楽しみで仕方ない。
それにほかのみんなに会えたのもよかった！おばば、羅漢、それに皇后になった玉葉妃！おめでとう！
OPも音楽・映像ともにすごくよかった。とはいえ個人的には1期のOPがやっぱり最強だし、ヨルシカのアニメ曲では小市民シリーズ2期の「火星人」が一番だと思ってる

Maomao is finally back! I really love her sibling dynamic with Chou-u in this episode, and I'm definitely looking forward to her meeting with Jinshi next week.
Plus, it was good to see the others as well! Grams, Lakan, or Gyokuyou, who became the Empress! Congratulations to her!
A very nice OP, both musically and visually, though, imo, the first OP still reigns supreme and "Martian" from Shoshimin S2 remains Yorushika's best anime song.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
OP Maomao Group scenes Jinshi Others EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

>それにほかのみんなに会えたのもよかった！おばば、羅漢、それに皇后になった玉葉妃！おめでとう！
あと梨花妃にまた男の子が生まれたな。今度こそ無事に育って、跡継ぎ争いの火種にならないといいけど！

>Plus, it was good to see the others as well! Grams, Lakan, or Gyokuyou, who became the Empress! Congratulations to her!

Also Lihua had another boy who will hopefully survive and not cause any succession disputes!

クランチロールいい加減にしろ

F**k crunchyroll.

AIにやらせればいいのに、なんで翻訳者に金を払う必要がある？ってことだろ

Why pay for translators when you can have AI do it for you?

クランチロールの字幕はひどい出来だったけど、回自体はよかった

Crunchyroll did a s**t job with the subtitles but good ep

同じこと言ってくれる人がいてよかった

Glad someone else said that

ヨルシカとEveならOP・EDは間違いないな。
しばらく時間が経って、壬氏と猫猫は（今のところ）別々に暮らしてるみたいだね。本を売ってた衛兵とか、子翠のバッタの話とか、前期を振り返るネタがけっこうあって、一時停止して「ああそうだ、そんなことあったな」って思い出す羽目になった。今回はどんな大きな陰謀が暴かれるのか楽しみ

You can always count on Yorushika and Eve to have good OPs/EDs.
Looks like some time has passed and Jinshi and Maomao are living their separate lives (for now). There's quite a few callbacks to the previous season like the guard selling the books and Shisui's grasshopper remark, I had to pause to remember and be like "oh yeah, that happened." Can't wait to see what grand conspiracy gets unraveled this time.

衛兵が子翠は生きてるってヒントをうっかり漏らすんじゃないかとずっと期待してたんだけど、猫猫がまだ子翠を失ったと思ってて、その気持ちと向き合い続けるほうがドラマとしては切ないんだろうな

I kept expecting the guard to let slip some clue that Shisui survived, but I guess it's more dramatically poignant if Maomao still thinks she lost her and has to continue to deal with that emotionally.

猫猫が「自分には関係ない」って？いやいや。めちゃくちゃ詮索好きじゃん。素直に認めて、時間を無駄にせず首を突っ込めばいいのに

Maomao saying “it is none of her business”? Cmon. She is nosey as hell. She should just admit it and dive in instead of wasting time.

首を突っ込んでいい優しい世界じゃないって分かってるんだよ。なにしろ「好奇心は猫をも殺す」って言うしな

She knows this is not a kind world to stick your nose in, "Curiosity killed the cat" after all.

趙迂を引き取った今は目立たないようにしなきゃいけない、ってのもあると思う
