I am too grouchy a person to watch Saiunkoku Monogatari.

I gave up halfway through episode four. This series has the consistency of oatmeal. Does anything genuinely bad ever happen outside of a flashback?

I want to slap half the cast for their seemingly-permanent air of self-satisfaction. It's like that Anne McCaffrey book Nimisha's Ship, where the heroine designs the best spaceship ever, and then she uses it to solve everybody's problems one by one, and everyone says, "Nimisha, you're so great," and Nimisha says, "Basically," and then the book's over. My spaceship is going to mess you up, Nimisha. It will have cannons that fire evil space-bears with antimatter claws or something.
