The political intrigue is the reason I fell in love with Saiunkoku Monogatari, a series made up of two 39-episode anime, which are an adaptation of part of a soon-to-finish light novel series. The first seven episodes are typical light-shojo with a dusting of politics, but it eventually develops into a show that has one plot-arc driven by the economic and political consequences of contaminated salt. I love this story.

It won't count as rare if the fandom-specific challenge running for more than two years rule makes it to the final cut, but it fits the other rules, so I thought I'd throw it out.

Oh, also, while I'm on anime, Legend of Galactic Heroes, which is all about the political intrigue. It was recc'd in a former Yuletide brainstorming thread, but I don't think anyone ever went through with it. It's also over a hundred episodes long, but I live in hope. And it's really, really good, even if not for writing this year.

Both series are ones that I've started but haven't finished (due to their length) but you've just reminded me how much I enjoyed what I've seen of both. I'll definitely have to try to finish at least one before sign-ups start!

You might have seen these already, but I know a few years back, people on my friends list were writing a lot of LoGH fic. Here's a handy list of links.

Oh, my. That is exciting. Thank you! (And good luck finishing.)
