程よく艶っぽいし面白かった
猫猫の罵倒声もよろし
It was entertaining and had just the right amount of sensuality.
Maomao’s scolding voice was great too.

I want candid opinions without anyone holding back, so I’ll ask in the non-Wacchoi thread. How was Episode 4?

話の流れとキャラクターの動きはよかったけど、一番大事な顔がブスだった
The flow of the story and the character movement were good, but the faces—the most important part—looked ugly.

主役のキャラ付けが上手いね。それでだいぶ見やすくなってる。
下手をすると堅苦しいアニメになりそうな主題だけど。
The protagonist is characterized well, which makes the show much easier to watch.
With this subject matter, it could easily have become a stiff and overly serious anime.

動きヌルヌルの代償か止め絵の顔や手がちょっと不安定だった
Maybe it was the price of the fluid movement, but the faces and hands in some still shots looked a little inconsistent.

４話見た…うーん失速した感が否めない
地域によって放送時期がバラバラでトレンド入りしづらいし
I watched Episode 4… I can’t deny that it felt like the series lost momentum.
The broadcast schedule also varies by region, making it difficult for the show to trend.
Spoiler note: The following exchange mentions characters and events from later episodes of Season 1.

3話の芙蓉妃の話は余り面白くない
4話は梨花妃がどうなったかの補足
5話からの園遊会は最初の見せ場
ロリ妃と最年長妃の回がうるっとする話
宿中毒の話や、鍵屋の三兄弟の話はそれぞれの単独回かと思いきや、ある大事件が起きた時に、今まで起きた事件が実は全てが繋がっていたという事に気づく作りになっているが、これはまだ序盤に過ぎない
１期の終盤は、猫猫の両親の話で終わりだと思う
これもうるっとする話
OPで踊ってるのが両親との回で出てくる
山場は園遊会、里樹妃＆阿多妃、祭事、そして両親の話
I didn’t find Consort Fuyou’s story in Episode 3 very interesting.
Episode 4 fills in what happened to Consort Lihua.
The garden-party arc beginning with Episode 5 is the first major highlight.
The stories involving Lady Lishu and Lady Ah-Duo are moving.
The food-poisoning case and the story of the metalworker’s three sons may initially seem like separate incidents. But when a major event occurs, it becomes clear that all the earlier cases were connected—and even this is only the beginning.
I think Season 1 will end with the story of Maomao’s parents.
That is another moving story.
The dancing shown in the opening sequence appears in the story involving her parents.
The major highlights are the garden party, Lady Lishu and Lady Ah-Duo, the ceremonial incident, and the story of Maomao’s parents.

ごめん
宿中毒じゃなくて、食中毒の間違い
Sorry.
I wrote “inn poisoning,” but I meant “food poisoning.”

白粉隠した侍女は謹慎で済んで
回収し損ねた宦官が鞭打ちって可哀想ね
>>272-273
“Inn poisoning” makes it sound like someone who loves staying overnight.
The lady-in-waiting who hid the face powder only got confined to her quarters,
while the eunuch who failed to collect it was flogged. That’s rough.

思いのほか演出が淡々としてて盛り上がりどころが…
猫猫がドス利かせるとこは悠木依存やったしなあ。あそこ良かったが
The direction was more subdued than I expected, so it was hard to find a real high point…
The scene where Maomao lowered her voice relied heavily on Aoi Yuki’s performance. That part was good, though.

So I told them that two melons combine to make a watermelon.

侍女は良いとこのお嬢なんで軽い罰だったんじゃない？
Maybe the lady-in-waiting received a lighter punishment because she came from a good family.

Maomao really can do it when she puts her mind to it—even punching a court lady.

>>289
Maomao had the strength to knock down a lady-in-waiting who was one or two sizes taller with a single slap.
Then she grabbed the fallen woman’s head and dragged her away.
That’s Maomao’s strength for you.

Of course. They were defying the Emperor’s order, driving away the apothecary, and putting the life of his favored consort at risk.
If they hadn’t backed down there, every court lady in that room might literally have lost her head.

ハンターハンターのキルアもこうやって鍛えていたんだろうか
Building up resistance by deliberately exposing her body to poison—she’s no ordinary person. She’s more of a mad scientist than I imagined.
I wonder if Killua from Hunter × Hunter trained like this too.

リファ様は自分を殺しかけた侍女をあっさり許してたけど、ここは過去に粉のことを信じずにアーニャに当たってた自分がいたからか
Consort Lihua readily forgave the lady-in-waiting who nearly got her killed. Was that because Lihua herself had once refused to believe the warning about the powder and lashed out at the other woman?

原作通りだが梨花妃が猫猫に礼の一つも言わないの気になった
Maomao grabbing the lady-in-waiting by the hair and dragging her along was quite an image.
It follows the original work, but I was bothered that Consort Lihua didn’t even thank Maomao.

Again? Did another recent series use that plot?
It’s common knowledge that old-fashioned face powder contained lead.

Everything up to this point is one continuous face-powder storyline.
It isn’t happening “again”—the story includes saving the other person too.

In a world like this, making them feel uncomfortable could probably get her executed.

CGのトゥーンレンダリングの進化、手間のかけ方に震撼した回だった。
過去のどの3DCGアニメより自然なアニメ風表現だった。
ついにここまで来たかという時代の特異点を目にした。
This episode left me stunned by how far CG toon rendering has advanced and how much work went into it.
It looked more naturally like traditional anime than any 3DCG anime I’ve seen before.
It felt like witnessing a turning point in the medium.

It didn’t feel out of place at all, so I never noticed.

最新話見たけど
マオマオのガチバイオレンスコンボにドン引きだわ
ビンタして床に叩きつけてガンつけて髪引っ張り回して頭に毒被せるとか
そんなことする子じゃないのにキャラ壊れ激しすぎる
いつバトルものにしてもいいように争いごと嫌いって設定捨てるのか？
I watched the latest episode, and Maomao’s full-on sequence of violence really put me off.
She slapped the woman, knocked her to the floor, glared at her, dragged her around by the hair, and poured poison over her head.
She wasn’t the kind of character who would do that, so this feels like a serious break from her characterization.
Are they abandoning the idea that she dislikes conflict so they can turn this into a battle series whenever they want?

まぁ妓楼で働いてた訳だし
荒事なんて普通な場所だし
ブスのフリしてなきゃ客取らされかねないし
ブスのフリしてても女攫に攫われて売られる訳だし
She did work in a brothel, after all,
and violence would be commonplace there.
If she didn’t pretend to be ugly, she might have been forced to take customers,
and even while pretending to be ugly, she was still abducted and sold by human traffickers.
🔚 Overall Impressions
Among the selected 5ch comments, Episode 4 received a sharply divided response. Many viewers praised its cinematic atmosphere, fluid character movement, and Aoi Yuki’s intimidating low-register performance as Maomao. The slap, interrogation, and hair-dragging sequence became the episode’s main talking point, with some viewers finding it satisfying and others feeling that the violence was excessive or out of character.
The animation drew similarly mixed reactions. Several comments called it the week’s best-looking anime and admired the natural integration of CG, while others noticed inconsistent faces and hands in still shots. Viewers also debated the restrained direction: some appreciated its subdued approach, whereas others felt that the story lacked a clear dramatic peak.
Discussion of the plot focused on the return of the poisonous face powder, the ladies-in-waiting’s responsibility, and the danger of disobeying an imperial order. Some viewers questioned the repeated focus on the face powder, while others explained that Episode 4 completed the same storyline by treating Consort Lihua. Despite the disagreements, Maomao’s forceful intervention left the strongest impression.
