webm(https://v.animethemes.moe/KusuriyaNoHitorigoto-OP1-NCBD1080.webm) Having grown up in a household filled with family that loved Chinese period dramas, they were virtually inescapable for me. Someone in my family was always watching the hottest new period drama, and eventually, I also began to w…
Read full review on AniList →Have you ever seen the amount of anime that are power fantasies for men for the audience to self-insert into? Well, you don’t have to worry about that in this show, because this decided to do the “innovative” idea of making a power fantasy but for women, with Maomao serving very clearly as a Mary Su…
Read full review on AniList →~~~img100%(https://files.catbox.moe/2qly31.avif)~~~ Kusuriya no Hitorigoto has a story with very good development of both the plot and the characters.

Read full review on AniList →I honestly don't even know how I found The Apothecary Diaries, I just stumbled upon it in my planning list, I don't remember when I added it to the list. I wasn't even going to watch it, but one day back in the start of 2023, I saw an image of it on Twitter (X), it was her all dressed up and Jinshi…
Read full review on AniList →__“The Apothecary Diaries”__ je špičkově provedené anime zasazeno do motivu Imperialistické Číny za vlády Dynastie Ming. Ač jsem viděl anime převážně s Japonským motivem, tak tohle mě naprosto ohromilo. Tvůrcům se podařilo vytvořit klenot, který září na všech frontách! Ať už se jedná o excelentní g…
Read full review on AniList →I first found this anime through a Youtube channel that was dedicated for anime, in which the creator would often discuss about different kinds of anime. While the creator uploads videos of his reviews and analysis of the animes that he has watched, he was more well-known for his shorts where he qui…

Read full review on AniList →This is a review ONLY for the first season. I have not watched the second season. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, also known as The Apothecary Diaries, is an anime that passed under the shadow of Sousou no Frieren due to the gigantic popularity that the latter achieved during its time; but, despite this,…

The video focused more on the American industry aspect and how th…
Read full review on AniList →Apothecary Diaries is a really good show. The premise is unique and Maomao is immediately likable and interesting as a main character. The way she uses her knowledge as an apothecary to solve problems in the palace is very entertaining, and it even makes the smaller plotlines stand out. The art and…

Read full review on AniList →As today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, I thought of reviewing an anime that is based on the Chinese culture/theme/history etc. While browsing through my list of completed anime, this was the only one that I could find that is based on historical Chinese. So, let's get to it. The Apothec…
Read full review on AniList →The Apothecary Diaries is a likeable enough historical drama that is more parts the atmosphere of intrigue than a proper mystery. To be fair to the show, it does not really bill itself as something in the vein of Agatha Christie, where the focus would be on the construction of its mystery as a puzzl…
Read full review on AniList →Adapting light novels to other forms of media, such as anime, has always been a challenge due to the descriptive nature of the storytelling. This is evident in the fact that there are very few examples of successful light novel adaptations. Animes like Studio Shaft's Monogatari, Ufotable's Garden of…
Read full review on AniList →Back in 2023, I watched 13 episodes of season 1 and thought this was going to be my favorite show of the year. For various reasons: the animation is gorgeous, the level of details is amazing. The soud mixing is also great and makes you feel immersed in the universe. So the production value is great.…
Read full review on AniList →So you scrolled through the reviews and are suspicious that the only (spoiler-free) reviews are either extremely positive or the one guy that calls it a Mary Sue Power fantasy? Because that's what I was. It turns out, like usual, the truth lies somewhere in between. So here is a short, (mostly) spoi…
