Fujihara Tomomi

Even the font is the same as Honnouji Hotel's title
Yaa.... Oni Matsudaira...
"Matta?" lmao that means he lost it more than once XD
Wtf, that jump lmao!! Physics left the earth. ;-;
Chako huh? A name taken from Todo-dono's real name, or maybe Kunimatsu's mother's name, Icha.
Yooo, that dude really allows him to go through that door. Osaka Country, huh... wait they revealed that to him... just like that? isn't that supposed to be a secret? Ahh Ojo!! Princess!!
This girl- How big is your stomach's capacity!?!! XD
Lmao that kid really has a knack for getting hit on the head.
Bruh!! Osaka is supposed to be a popular and famous destination for tourists, right? No one noticed the Castle changing? The heck no one suspected the empty streets?
Where are the women wth!?!!
Bruh nobody arrested the shooter!? WTF!!?!!
Bro finally smiled at the end.
So the Princess and other descendent live without knowing their identities and heritages?

Alright, Fine!!! I'll go into it with my limited Japanese and Chinese since I can't find the EngSub. Bruh I downloaded the sub on Subscene and planned to screen record the movie and put them together in CapCut. The English sub on Subscene is French in disguise. WTF!!?!! DX My god!!

In the movie, they used OJO Foundation, but the synopsis used H.R.H. Foundation. Yeah, a nice alternative. Btw, Glowing Red Osaka Castle is so ominous. Chako looks like a female and younger version of Yamazaki Kento-san lol.

This has many plot holes like the others said indeed. Honnouji Hotel by the same production team is much more enjoyable and consistent. They used the font title. They also share the same, credits format with photos being shown in black and white.

Ahhh!! The water fall is the same water fall they filmed Seirei no Moribito. That's why it looked so familiar lol.

I think they changed it because it's also a plot point for Balsa to return to the Kambal Kingdom and that also allows Chagum to have character development and grow as a King. He can also form an alliance with the Kambal Kingdom to defend his kingdom from the Talsh Kingdom. And of course, for them to reunited and meet each other again.

Ahh!! Yes, the drama followed the novels but changed the order of the events. The Guardian of the Darkness is supposed to be the sequel to the story of S1. They adapted two novels into one in this season. That's why we see Balsa's and Chagum's separate journeys. It's the built-up for the 3rd season when they finally meet and travel together again. The two novels are Guardian of the God and The Traveler of the Indigo Road. Not all novels focus on Balsa and Chagum either. Guardian of the Dream focuses on Tanda and Torogai.

The order should be: (taken from JP Wikipedia)
Guardian of the Spirit
Guardian of the Darkness
Guardian of the Dream
Guardian of the God
The Traveler of the Void
The Traveler of the Indigo Road
Guardians of Heaven and Earth

This one contains spoilers for S3: https://earth-colors.dreamwidth.org/125274.html
For the reason why they changed the order of the events is below here.

Yeah, I actually planned to check out the anime in the future, not that many action anime has a strong heroine as the protagonist of the story. Since the Shonen genre is the most popular, nowadays they mostly focus mainly on male protagonists.

Ep 3: Bro!! Yooo!! That Rakugo Master on TV is the same Rakugo Master that taught her Rakugo to perform on stage (irl). Ohh so they meet again after 10 years. The performance was for the 2020 New Year celebration.
Bruh, she was chucking in the bitter melon while he was having an emotional confession-
The beer spatting on each other's faces at the end- XD

Ep 1: Lmao, I swear most of the screenwriter-san's works always open the drama with the night and sky shots of the city overview.
It's only 5 min in and I already felt a heavy lift in my heart wth-
That was heavy as heck!! The two child actors were really good too.
Usually, there won't be a video for the ending of an episode in Jdramas that I watched. It would just be the credits roll over the scenes. The video here felt like a POV memory.

Ep 1: "I am not illegal." Out of context, this would be so funny and confusing lmao
"You can eat me, too!" AHOMIYA!!! DX ahahaha
Lmao, since this season was from 2010, her face's shape changed from the previous season. I see soft girl Saki on her face. The mismatched images and behaviors make my brain confused bruh!! Yabai!!! XD

Aww no, I'm too late. ;-;

Smol Yoshikawa Ai-san at the end!!!
It took me quite a few episodes to get used to Hotaru lmao. The OTTs took me a while to adjust, but then It didn't bother me that much at all. I mean like bruh this was from 2007 and it's from a manga. It was a really fun watch. I really like her relationships and interactions with Buchou. Alright now off to season 2!!!

In this, they don't introduce nor explain the concubines that Nobunaga had children with irl. But since there are little to no records about them, I guess the concubines part can pass, but the children?
Also, the boat going to Europe!! I'm still recovering from the Legend & Butterfly. ;-;

I love how they used "cho/butterfly" as Nobunaga's female counterpart. Nobunaga also wore a lot of butterfly necklaces throughout the drama when she was "Nobunaga".

Ando, bro cheated the system!!! XD
The ML really threw away that amount of money bruh!!!
I kinda knew who was gonna survive, but damn didn't expect that move from Ando. I thought Shoko would just shoot one person to stop the experiment since she was so sus.

[Hmm... a soft-looking person who likes to read books... yeah let's see... :D
"I've been watching you all the time. You're very kind."
Oi oi oi, chotto matte- sus af XD]

Bruh the ending... Okie then XD But there was a scene that made me go "Alright, a smart move lmao!!" When the credits rolled, I was like "HOLD UP!! Ishihara Satomi!? Dude, she looks so different here wtf!?!!"

I still haven't fully recovered from JIN yet. The same thing with Saki, she literally stayed alone her whole life and didn't remarry... ;-;
Urghh!! The way Tetsuzo and Jin were also looking at the old photos...

Don't open this if you haven't finished JIN.

I got baited because MDL put Ayase-san in the main cast, bruh XD.
At the beginning of the movie, they literally revealed it to us.
I was like "Hold up- his present wife- omfg- that means... ehh...!!!"
Aish, I was expecting to see Ayase-san in a white wedding Kimono ._. Maybe that clip I saw was from another movie or drama. (Edit: nvm, I found it. It was actually in Kurobe no Taiyo lol.)
I tuned in for her less-than-5-minutes screentime XD
And their ending bruh... she was also on his boat riding with all of them. ;-;

Wow- a tall still-standing building among the ruins of the city...
"The Americans will be here soon." Yabai... XD
Lmao, I got baited XD. It was a good watch nonetheless.

I'm glad the "tragic romance of a Princess" wasn't about Hamaji and Shino.
AISH!!! I can't shake the idea that Hamaji is Shino's aunt off my head- DX
At first, I was like "Hold up!!- they are cousins?" 0-0
I felt relieved when she was actually the Second Princess of Satomi and was adopted.
Then I realized "WAIT NO!!! THAT MAKES HER HIS AUNT!!!! at least spiritually, WTF!!! "
Ahahah whatever at least they aren't blood-related.
Their wedding was beautiful though. Finally, everyone can rest and enjoy their lives peacefully. Sousuke can't stop smiling ksksksksks same bro, same!!! XD
