One of the series that we really lamented the loss of over the years is getting some new streaming with Tubi now bringing out Story of Saiunkoku. The show is being released as Colourcloud Palace and only in it dubbed form here on the streaming service. It has the 39-episode first season streaming in full.
Check out our review of the first season and our Ten Years Later retrospective.
Plot Concept: Saiunkoku is a country with eight powerful houses governed by one emperor. However, the new leader Ryuki cares not for his new role and is rumored to spend his days chasing after noblemen in his court. Enter Shurei, a princess whose family has fallen upon hard times. Her dreams of becoming a government official are unattainable since she is a woman, but a twist of fate gives her the chance of a lifetime. If she agrees to become the emperor’s consort and turn him into a respectable ruler, she will be greatly rewarded.
