Synopsis

One month after the Karakasa incident, the situation at the Inner Chambers is slowly returning to normal. To the noble families that run the country, normalcy means carrying on with their usual schemes to prevent any undesirable power shifts in the government. Their current target is the high-ranking concubine Fuki Tokita, who seems to be receiving Lord Tenshi's attention despite being the daughter of a merchant and, therefore, socially unfit to give him an heir.

However, supernatural forces still dwell in the shadows. When several unnatural deaths take place in the Inner Chambers, its residents are once again forced to allow the presence of the mysterious Medicine Seller inside its halls. The Medicine Seller is the only one who might be able to determine the cause of these incidents—and find out what role Fuki plays in them.

Great movie — the art is spectacular, as always. The plot is far less confusing and much stronger than in the first film (Phantom in the Rain).

The characters are likeable and well-developed, with their meaningful actions and dialogues that elevate the story. The villain, in particular, perfectly fulfills their role — obnoxious and thoroughly contemptible, making them easy to root against.

The music exceeded my expectations. There's a strange and creative quality in the soundtrack that adds a unique layer to the experience, complementing the stunning visuals beautifully.

All in all, I highly recommend this anime, especially for those who appreciate bold art direction and imaginative storytelling.

Hinezumi is a strong sequel which not only maintains but raises the level of the franchise.
While the first film (also exceptional) uses its runtime to situate us in the ooku ecosystem, the second installment manages to get straight to the point. It's much easier to follow the storyline and the film plays an excellent role in developing the cast's personality in a fluid and natural way (Besides Kusuriuri and Fuki,that already had my full interest in the previous film, Sakashita and Botan grew up hard on me on this one). Also, the Hinezumi's attacks probably have one of the best directions I've ever seen in ...

Every now and then, as I'm choosing which anime to watch at the beginning of each season, I end up encountering some good and some bad surprises. This kind of feeling, fueled by my decision to avoid any promotional material for new anime to avoid spoilers as much as possible, ends up being a double-edged sword: on the one hand, I might encounter a radiation bomb that I'll question other people's tastes for having enjoyed, and on the other, I might encounter an excellent work that will become one of my favorites of the year (see Medalist).

Considering the second option, I might be even more ...
