Do not get mistaken by the suprisingly low rating. This is a 5 stars anime. For the simple reason that Bai Yao Pu did simples things right: Clean art, a setting which makes sense, good pacing, attention given to every single episode and authentic characters. Bai Yao Pu isn't action packed nor does it have a general arc. However it doesn't need to since it tells stories so well it will leave you craving for the next episode. It may give you an athmosphere similar to "Violet Evergarden" . With a very different female MC but equally likable. Usually I am not a fan of the episodicalarcs format. But the last scene may gives us something for season 2. If it doesn't I do not care too much. If the quality matches this season I will be very glad.

I prefer taking a break between 2 seasons and watch a different genre. But not this time. I gave it a 10 because I do not find the overall rating reflects the quality of this anime. So far it is the show I've enjoyed the most in 2022.
