Guardian rewatch notes: Episode 9

[mecurtin]

My Guardian rewatch is up to Episode 9. Road trip!

Pulling out Chinese translation questions:

6. At 20:04 the subtitles say ZYL is quoting "Ah, such a high place with so many green trees.". What poem? what is its significance?

7. What is the Chinese translated as "obituary notice bird" @ 23:03ff? Is this a reference to some traditional bird legend?

9. c. 37:00ff there are several mentions of a "totem". What concept is being translated? Are they referring to the sigil Wang Zheng was getting flashbacks about?

 This is the point where I abandon any vague attempt at plot or character analysis and just start screaming about my feelings.

Guardian rewatch notes: Episode 10

[mecurtin]

My Guardian rewatch is up to Episode 10, and I have so many questions about the significance of the Hanga arc, and about the Awl. Like, why does it look like an Awl?
