Third-last post. I'll do today and tomorrow's eps in one post, then the final two next tuesday. Is this over already?

(Speaking of other things that are almost over, [community profile] space_swap nominations end in <24h at noon GMT Wednesday! Instructions & link to tagset.)

...but first, if you've wanted Xiao Jinghuan's Downfall icons, I have an album of medium-sized square-or-almost screengrabs on Imgur. (The size is so you can crop it closer if you feel like it.) Feel free to use wherever. I might make a more inclusive (ie, includes people other than Yu) version and requests are welcome. Do you want people being all down and defeated, or is happiness allowed? There'll be a Nihuang in armor atop horse with spear, and a Jingyan holding up hand in armor atop horse (that scene from ep 44), but other than that, suggestions welcome.

Now, on to the main program.

Nirvana in Fire had a much more vivid color palette with way more warm colors and reds and shiny stuff. NiF 2 seems much cooler and blue-greener. Best dressed so far are Pingjing and the Empress.

It continues! (I'll probably take a long(er) break after these because some exams, travel, and Yuletide, but I'll catch up in blocks of four, like I did NiF.)

Eps 1-2 subbed on Viki! So far, it's less WTF-inducing in introduction than NIF (much smaller character herd), and I think they had a higher budget for all the battle scenes (unless the ep1 battle is the Only Battle Scene Ever, in which case way to be misleading). If you want further relationship kinda-spoilers, I translated the pre-release family tree/relationship web, seen here. (I may not speak Chinese, but I'm real good at using a dictionary!)
