Political intrigue. Secret romance. Assassination plots. This piece of media has it all, from tragedy to comedy to contemplations of what it truly means to be human, and whether that even matters at all. Gunfights and sword fights are carefully balanced with scathing social commentary in this visually striking piece of media. Strong, well-written female characters with cringefail loser boyfriends who nonetheless love and support their s/o the best way they can. Nonhuman characters who are fully allowed to be nonhuman, with all that entails. Massive conspiracies. Mental health issues and grief representation. POC. Cannon queer characters. Prophecies and visions. Women with guns. And best of all -- in this story, the villains well and truly win. This piece of media really does have it all.
