The second chapter of "12 Kokki" ended yesterday (3/11 Tue). It had a very nice closure. I really liked the last episode and had to watch it twice. The second season of "12 Kokki" was much more interesting than the first. The first chapter was about Youko, who was sent to a this ancient Chinese(?) fantasy world, becoming a destined queen of her country. It was so so entertaining. Second chapter was about Youko struggles to understand what it means to become a good ruler - the queen - of her country. As Deciare correctly put it, there was a lot of "ancient political strife, destiny, responsibility, and conspiracy" and it made this chapter very entertaining. Those people who like "Legend of Galactic Heroes (this is also my favorite)" might like this anime. If you think "LoGH" is boring as hell, then don't watch "12 Kokki". It has fewer action and death than "LoGH" ^ ^ ;
