Such an announcement can only come after 1-2 more volumes of the novel are released. Even so, it would take about half a year for the third season to air, so that even more volumes can be released. About dubbing...There is a very low chance that any company will pick it up. To release two seasons is crazy and expensive. Unless the series has a strong fanbase, no company would be stupid enough to spend money on dubbing an anime that is not widely popular with non-Japanese people. I'd rather get the Jap dvd box sets ;p @souven

We saw both of them, briefly, in the first episode of this season, when Shuuei was trying to get out of the Uringun's drinking party, but Seiran shot arrows at him until he had to come inside, remember? (Haku Daishogun was also the person who gave Seiran an elevated military rank in the first season, when Shuurei and Eigetsu were imprisoned by Kochou in Kouga House.) @ Tiff - I agree with you about the 3rd OST. It needs to come out quickly. Some of the music is the same as in the first season, but there are some bit that are wholly new to this season that are absolutely beautiful. (Like the music in episodes 10 & 11, when Ensei and Shuurei are trying to get into Kouling town.) I hope the third season is announced soon. They shouldn't keep the fans waiting long...and an English dub company needs to pick it up and do a good job dubbing it. @Nanami – about the two characters you asked about (”this Field Marshal General with tiger on his shoulder and his superior (both were at the ceremony of Shuuei’s resignation)”): this would be Haku Daishogun and Koku Daishogun respectively, wouldn’t it be?

I hope the third OST comes out with that BGM, or I'll kill myself. Eeeek!

Been off the planet for a few weeks and now I feel so behind w/ Saimono eps. Work has been hell. I haven't watched the raw of this episode yet, but addressing the whole yaoi vibe between Ryuuki & Shuuei. I think relationships between guys in Japan and in some parts of Asia is more lax than in the west. I recall seeing guys walk around w/ an arm slung casually around another guy's shoulder without automatically being labelled as anything but just hanging around. Also, in one of the Gaidens. Shuuei reflects on his relationship w/ younger bro Ryuuren. Shuuei actually thinks that he feels like Ryuuki is more close like a younger brother than Ryuuren. But, on the other hand, they have both sorta admitted to being "double-edged swords"! heheh... Yikes! Been off the planet for a few weeks and now I feel so behind w/ Saimono eps. Work has been hell.

If I don't buy it from a US company (like how I'm having to buy Saiunkoku Subtitled dvd's overseas) They tend to do weird things with the characters names for the first few episodes. Like Serian = Jing Jun, Shoka = Miss/Mr Red, ect. Then they eventually seem to get the name right and it continues smoothly from there.

Thanks heather! I admit it's my preference that all foreign films speaks their native dialect to maintain their original authencity. With Saimono, I like it with their original Jap voices but with English subtitles on. But I feel sorry for your bro + sis. It's a shocking adjustment that needs time to overcome. I hope they will get over it soon... Do you happen to know any other anime co other than Geneon that produces quality Eng subtitles? I'll keep them in mind once the whole Saimono series is finished & I'll buy the whole SM is 1 DVD Collection package. I don't mind the wait. It's worth it :) I agree with both you + Kaeboo. I rather have the directors end Season 2 earlier than intended March with their finale close to the novels than have too much fillers + highlight specials. And please, I love RyuukiXShuurei pairing but I don't expect marriage from them that fast before Season 2 ends! Rushing things up spoils the beauty of SM lol :O ooooh, that explains a lot. Thanks heather!

They stopped all production on ALL their Anime Dec. (12 days short for Vol 3 in Engish Voice subs). So buy anything you want from their co right now, because once it is gone, you won't be able to order it. I'm hoping that when they begin to sell off their Anime, Saiunkoku will be bought and picked up by another co. But even if that happens it could be a year or two off. But here is to hoping! I only found out about their BK because I pre-ordered up to vol 4 in English voice trans and I got the notice that vol 3 and 4 would not be arriving. :( My litter bro, sis, and friend were all very sad. I don't mind watching it with subtitles but my little bro and sis won't do it. Anyway, I'm really hoping that Saiunkoku doesn't get a crappy ending thrown on where Ryukkie and Shurrie will suddenly marry. I'm hopeing that they will end it where the Manga left off till more are written. And it isn't because the author has a writing block, acutually the author has been producing a lot of material lately. Saiunkoku is so popular in Japan that you can actually by a Shurrie, Ryukkie, Kouyuu, Shuuie Ran, or Serian (in his "normal clothes") costume. I tried to talk my friends into it for Halloween, but it didn't happen. Seamaiden ->> Yep bankrup. They stopped all production on ALL their Anime Dec. (12 days short for Vol 3 in Engish Voice subs).

Although not in league like Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away', Saimono is ranked among the best potential of animes. I'm sure Japan is on Saimono high 'cause SM DVDs are always a sold-out. That's how popular SM is now. I hope the market for Saimono isn't dwindlin. I hate it if Saimono is kill off suddenly, leaving us in an awful empty limbo. @heather

Although not in league like Miyazaki’s ‘Spirited Away’, Saimono is ranked among the best potential of animes. I’m sure Japan is on Saimono high ’cause SM DVDs are always a sold-out. That’s how popular SM is now. I hope the market for Saimono isn’t dwindlin. I hate it if Saimono is kill off suddenly, leaving us in an awful empty limbo.

Man this wreaks! It's just like Rurouni Kenshin. They practically killed the anime with a few mindless fillers while waiting for the Jinchuu arc to be finished by the author. By the time he finished many fans lost interest. The final OVA answered a few questions for those who followed the series but the ending was not based on the manga. I also read where the author wasn't happy with the way Sony ended his anime either. He wanted Kenshin to have a peaceful ending. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen to Saiunkoku. The story is very intriguing and rich in character. I really love Shuurei's role as a strong lead with all the hotties (especial Seiran) around her. I have a feeling it will end in unrequited love for everyone. (another Tenchi Muyo saga) The author must have some kind of writer's block. That's too bad. I just hope the TV anime proders end Season 2 in a way that will encourage the fans to want more. There aren't many good animes out there like Saiunkoku.

There are a lot of torrent sites that would get you those. If you just want to watch them, try crunchyroll. Season 2 fansubs, the shared proj by flc and ssf is on going but there's this other person who does the same proj on her own and has overtaken the eps being done by the other two. They say the subs can be found on youtube, only that i haven't tried watching them. I'd rather stick to the joint flc/ssf proj. :) I am getting this strange feeling that producers will take a break until the novels end, just like what happened to kyou kara maoh. It's only now that they resumed the anime by producing 5 ova's before the 39 eps that will start end of 1st quarter. The print version has concluded the story. They just might do the same to saimono and if that happens, all we can do is wait. X( Grrrrrrrrr! X_X season 1 fansubs finished up to ep 39. There are a lot of torrent sites that would get you those.
