Please Watch! It's Amazing!

This anime is definitely on the slower paced side, but it genuinely is so good. It's an imperial Chinese palace setting (similar to Apothecary Diaries) and it also features a slow burn romance. The animation and art style are absolutely gorgeous as well. Most of the characters take on more realistic appearances (no crazy hair colors) but that doesn't really affect me too much. The story is more supernatural, featuring magic. It has mysteries and resolutions, but it is a bit more dark with its themes. (Such as themes of abuse) but it makes for an amazing story. I truly wish this anime gets a season 2.

Amazing

I was amazed how pretty the artstyle of the anime is and the story is also nice if you're looking for something cute and entertaining at the same time. I hope the season 2 will be reliesed soon because it would be such a shame to not give this hidden gem a chance. I would totally recomend it to Apotecary Dairies fans or the mature public avoiding harems and fanservices. If you like Asian folklore and style you should deffinitely give this anime a try, I finished it in 2 days because the story goes smooth along with the charachters. I watched it on crunchyroll so it is available on streaming platforms.

BELOVED

Raven of the Inner Palace was such a magical experience. It was full of beautiful scenes and lovely characters. I am obsessed with the story and how platonic relationships can fit together into tales like this.

It also occurs to me how many layers of folklore and mythology are put into it, there's just never enough of the ghosts and how they are perceived by the people around them.

It is a series that testifies to the complex relationship we as humans hold towards death, the other side, grief and the same process of letting go of our loved ones.

As a recently self proclaimed fan of this anime, PLEASE, GIVE US A SECOND AND more seasons!

A season 2?

The series' plot is good, but I think this deserve a season 2 where it focuses about the raven itself not about the fl, I'm still in a puzzle what really happened at the raven inside the fl. Anyways I still recommend this series! Superb!! Loved watching it! I just hope that it'll have a season 2 where they can answer what really happen at the raven, like is it really suppressed by the winter king?? And if it's contained why does it looks for another vessel? What's behind that? And Why every 8 years the previous vessel dies after finding a new one?? Too many questions left, hoping rlly for season 2.

Breathtaking visuals with truly unique theme

I'm so glad I came across this gem of an anime as I'm a sucker for some good artistic historical anime.

This definitely is a fantasy/ supernatural genre but unlike other typical anime this has got nothing to do with fights and showdowns. It is just v artistic and each episode narrates a unique story of its own. The narration and cinematography is just so beautiful. It's so therapeutic to watch!

I do wish we get a second season where we get to explore more development in the relation between the leads. However I have a feeling we would not get one.

Surely a slow burn but you will like it if the description seems your type.
