a review said “this manga is great but if you liked orb then you have to drop everything and read this” and they were right. I’m gonna be insufferable abt this. astrolabes are sooo coool. idk as much about islam nor too much abt the mongolian colonialism (esp in Iran) + genocide so this’ll be such an interesting watch! I love anything that tackles the restrictions of less liberal theology thoo. I love sitara’s rage I hope it doesn’t diminish at all. so scary seeing some captured with her start their new lives under the empire and see the violence against them as something of the past to move on from and start a new life via the passage of time. many such cases irl :(. töregene too. I adore her. I CAUGHT UP JUST BEFORE SHE TALKS ABOUR HWR STORY WHENS THE BEW EPISODEBWGAT. genghis khan’s death was depicted beautifully. the art the art the art the colours I love that it looks like it was painted on a wall and chipped away (there’s deffo a better way to describe this). it’s so vibrant and muted, and the red pops out so much ooo. the style eeee I love. the backgrounds are so gorgeous!! the intro with the eyes is one of my fave things ever whaaaat. also noticing the voice actors they got for the nomads, makes me so happy. golkam take some notes lmaooo. also the throat singing in the soundtrack during the mongolian scenes!
