It has a very nice twist on a fictional Chinese world. There's comedy and adventure in it and romance for those that enjoy it. The story is well written because it starts off as a simple plot and then changes to something a little more complicated. It quite literally grows in the ending. The protagonist, Shuurei, is a young but strong girl. She takes her problems head on and isn't the type to sit and whine about it. Saiunkoku Monogatari teaches its viewers to deal with your problems. Shuurei in the story was discriminated because of her gender and she reverses people's thoughts on how people are treated due to gender. The dialogue can get a bit exciting in the later story arc. Everything's pretty straightforward. Animation is great and I appreciate how the author of the original story uses Chinese culture as a base from clothing to foods to names of characters. I also appreciate the fact that the soundtrack compliments it quite nicely.

I highly recommend you give this anime a try.
