2025-02-28 21:57:36 +0000 UTCYo! Deadass butchered these names 🤣 thanks And same! I had to re read it because they never specified when they were switched, just that maomao's dad was pulled from helping Ah-duo birth to help the empress and hers. The rabbit whole was real lol

2025-02-28 11:56:19 +0000 UTCLmao stop, you gonna confuse people even more. Lakan is Maomao's biological father, the strategist guy who doesn't see faces. Emperor somehow knows who Maomaos real father is (I don't remember if it was even revealed to us previously, or what's the deal here), that's why he's mentioning him. The current emperors mothers name is Anshi btw (and 100% not Lakan, lmao). Btw, this is not spoilers, we've learned stuff from the first season. That baby swap was real, and Jinshi is the actual Emperor's and Ah-Duo's (that purple hair concubine from season 1) son, not his brother. And the Emperors mother is actually his grandmother, not mother. I think we will learn more about her in the next episode judging by the next episode name. Anyways, Jinshi himself thinks he's the Emperors brother, but that's cause he was told that when growing up. Man, the family tree connections in this anime is something else. My brain hurts. Ah, also, the honey lady accidentally killed the Emperors brother (or Jinshi's uncle, however you want to put it).

2025-02-28 05:04:19 +0000 UTCFor more anime this style, whilst slightly different, 'Yatagarasu: the raven does not choose its master' is a period drama/mystery that was insanely good and absolutely slept on last year. Has easily one of the coolest twists I have seen in anime. Highly, highly recommend.

2025-02-28 04:54:14 +0000 UTCso i found some info on reddit about Anshi (the current emperors mom) could potentially be a Spoiler- But some of this is info from season 1 and some is from novel. basically, the last emperor liked kids... and from that was born the current emperor when Anshi was about 9-12 years old. when the current emperor was 19 he and Ah-du had jinshi, at that exact moment Anshi was giving birth to the emperors brother. According to the novel- Anshi hated this baby, and didnt want it, but Ah-du wanted the best for her son and so agreed to switch the babies. Jinshi was raised by his grandma but like a prince. And the honey lady accidently killed the actual prince with honey.

2025-02-28 01:20:47 +0000 UTCA reminder: The current emperor is actually his biological father but remember the baby switch from Season 1 where one of the babies died? He's the biological son of the current Emperor and Ah Duo, (the woman with purple hair that looked like him in S1) but officially he's the previous emperor and some other woman's (I don't remember who she was, I think a concubine) son. Since the previous emperor is the father of the current emperor, Jinshi is his "younger brother"

2025-02-27 22:50:02 +0000 UTCCan't really think of anime that have a similar type of episodic mystery leading into a larger narrative that do it as well as TAD. OddTaxi is probably the best bet but that one is one big mystery spread across 13 episodes (phenomenal show though). Yatagarasu is another anime with a similar setting and good albeit less interesting main characters, it's first 13 episodes is some of the most clever and gripping mystery writing I've seen with an insanely satisfying payoff but the remaining 7 episodes are kinda just whatever.

2025-02-27 22:49:48 +0000 UTCSome people even like it more than TAD so I guess it's preference.

2025-02-27 22:16:37 +0000 UTCIt's very similar to TAD and it's good. I can see some people disliking the MC though

2025-02-27 22:09:48 +0000 UTCI really like the Raven of the Inner Palace. This show definitely went under the radar of most people. Whilst maybe not as good as TAD, it's still pretty nice!

2025-02-27 21:59:01 +0000 UTCyea maomao is written so well, one of my favorite characters

2025-02-27 21:56:04 +0000 UTCI know Link Click was one of the series being recommended to replace TAD after S1, it has that crime/detective vibe. However it’s probably better as a replacement for Steins Gate. For TAD I was thinking maybe Moriarty the Patriot would be a cool replacement. It takes place from the perspective of Sherlock Holmes’ enemy Moriarty. Instead of being a straight up villain he’s more like an anti-hero with occasional run-ins with Holmes himself. Only downside is that the likelihood of a S2 is very low :(

2025-02-27 21:42:02 +0000 UTCHaven't checked it out yet aside from some clips, but there is a recent anime called Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective that is supposedly like an anime version of House M.D. and could fit what you are looking for.

2025-02-27 21:40:39 +0000 UTCRaven of the Inner Palace seems to be recommended everywhere by TAD fans but it's not as popular as TAD so I don't expect it to win in a vote but I'll mention it if someone here wants something similar to TAD! It has the same setting (China but not China) and it also has a focus on mistery solving, even more than TAD if someones is into that. It's really slept on.
