You guys may not realize it but Gyokuyou's VA are Atsumi Tanezaki.....the same person voicing Frieren As for Maomao....Her VA are the person who voicing Kumoko from "I'm a spider,so what?!" (Highly recommended).
2:42 “Wow… It’s giving Entertainment District (vibes).” Yes, it should, as it is, haha. The Verdegris House is a brothel, but like the Oiran in Demon Slayer’s Entertainment District, the top girls don’t necessarily sleep with the customers.
Honestly. Nothing more gut wrenching than a mourning mother. The moment I heard her wail I remembered the mother from the Hereditary movie. It was almost identical, I got chills.
This was probably my favorite anime of the year. The only thing I would point out is that it goes farther than most in making sure that almost every detail comes into play somehow later on, even if its several episodes later.
You'll definitely enjoy this show. Just FYI (because it's not explained in the show) "mao" is a Chinese word for cat, so Maomao's cat animations are a cute visual pun. She's an AWESOME character though, one of the best MCs of the modern era right now
Depends on country somewhat but yeah most countries have bans and heavy controls on lead based paints in domestic use. North America didn't ban it in homes until the 70's so some older homes still have it. White lead based cosmetics produced a perfect white and applied better than other options so it was popular, same with white lead based paints which can still be sold in small quantities for the purposes of artwork as it dries well and has a great colour it's still prized. Road markings also still use lead based paints.
You pulled me in with this show - because I love it and want everyone to watch it. You kept me with your brief but intelligent discussion. I'm with you for all 24 episodes now. I hope that's okay. 😁
Hope you enjoy this. It was my AotS (sorry Frieren lovers). Pay close attention to all the little things, because they nearly all come back in later episodes in one way or another. Enjoy!!
Apothecary is now my favorite anime of all time. One of the best written female-lead characters ever and some of the best world building using Imperial China as a backdrop.
✨ *FUN FACT: Apothecary Diaries released the first 3 episodes on their first air while Frieren did 4 consecutive episodes, if I'm not mistaken.* :) also the fact that I read these 2 mangas consecutively last year and then later realizing they got animated on that same year is pure bliss. 💕
I was so confused why I feel like the voice in 3:28 is so familiar. Turns out the VA's Yuuki Aoi and the specific voice I heard I remembered was Yuzuru Nishimiya's from Silent Voice lol (which Yuuki Aoi also voiced)
Yay I'm so excited! I love this series so much that after watching the anime I immediately bought the manga adaptation and the original novels, haven't been this focused reading novels for a while 😂
Yaaaaaay!! This series got me back to anime. I was graduating pharmacy school when this came out. It's so amazing that I couldn't even wait for all the episodes to be released. Had to read the manga lol 💙
Honestly, the only weird part about this show is how there's only ONE physician for all the concubines. You'd think that the emperor would be willing to hire a few more doctors to make sure his wives and children would be safe. On the other hand, maybe the problem is that the position is considered high risk because a physician would have access to all the royal heirs, so the emperor might have decided to promote someone who's 100% loyal and trustworthy even though they aren't the best at the job.
you know when a show is backed by the studio by how much gorgeous it is. and this one is one of the most beautiful i saw! I love aoi yuuki (maomao) her voice is perfect for this character. she's also the voice of Yuzu from A silent voice. i already saw that show 4 times and never get bored by it. can't wait for 2025 for the season 2.
I don't think I've ever been more into looking forward to new anime episodes since that time when Frieren, Apothecary Diaries, and Dungeon Meshi coincided.
Lead based white powder were still used and finaly ban in late 1800s in Europe/North America, so it has been around/a problem for a very long time. Beauty is skin deep, but so is lead poisoning.
Let me be honest here,I dislike Jinshi at his earlier moments but grow liking him later on. Gyokuyou-Sama are the best Concubine Pairin are the best big sister

Honestly, I skipped on this anime until it finished airing. I hated how it was too overrated because i thought its a cliche historical romance drama but I was wrong. What made me watch this was probably when I saw the clip about Maomao's parents.
Funny enough this anime was actually super underrated because frieren was the anime most talked about while apothecary diaries was sweeped under the rug for a bit. When peopel finally started watching apothecary diaries they talked about it A LOT because it wasn’t talked about that much at the time. Then a lot of people watched it. But for a while it wasn’t talked about at all (or from my end, despite me reading the light novel and manga beforehand. I still saw no one talking about it a while back) Edit: for spelling
Over this last year, besides One Piece (always #1 as it's a continuous series with just short breaks) and That Time I Got reincarnated as a slime (still 9 episodes left this season), my two favorite new series I've watched have been Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and The Apothecary Diaries. You're likely several episodes in already, but guaranteed you already love Maomao. I assume your, "hell yeah! Maomao is a beast!" moment was what I dub the "slap heard 'round the world" of ep 4 xD Much love. You two are great and wish you the best for yourselves and the channel.

We are SO exited to start Apothecary Diaries with you guys😁 we’re 4 episodes in on Patreon and loving it more with every episode! patreon.com/caraprez
You guys may not realize it but Gyokuyou's VA are Atsumi Tanezaki.....the same person voicing Frieren

Let's goooooo Peak is here, maomao is honestly one of the best girls
同感です
Fun fact: Concubine Gyokuyou's voice actor is the same as Frieren's
And Anya.
Lihua have the same VA as Mikasa
LIhua screaming in despair over the dead prince is in my top 3 moments of voice acting, globally.
Honestly. Nothing more gut wrenching than a mourning mother. The moment I heard her wail I remembered the mother from the Hereditary movie. It was almost identical, I got chills.
Frieren and apothecary diaries honesty carried winter 2024 season really exited for the reactions
Both are very good.
This was probably my favorite anime of the year. The only thing I would point out is that it goes farther than most in making sure that almost every detail comes into play somehow later on, even if its several episodes later.

Mao Mao and Frieren. I would pay a top dollar for just one episode containing a plot with the two of them in one place talking
5:20 Lmao... " Don't go from chuuk to chuk chuk chuk chuk 🔪
Maomao is one of my favorite character's across any anime. She has an extremely interesting personality.
a little... "strange" at times but yes i agree 😂
It is indeed based on a fictional version of ancient China in roughly the 15th century with elements of the Ming Dynasty.
"Oh no! It's gonna be dark!"
Maomao: "Nah, just resigned"
One of the best detective anime I have ever seen. This show always leaves you intrigued in all its episodes.
Up until the late 1800s lead was used in cosmetics and still used in paints till the mid 1900s.
Depends on country somewhat but yeah most countries have bans and heavy controls on lead based paints in domestic use. North America didn't ban it in homes until the 70's so some older homes still have it.

Road markings also still use lead based paints.
yeah, especially for true blue paint can only be made using lead since lead make the bright color clear and shiny
Anywhere awaited reaction 😭🙏🙏
I think you ticked all of my favorite animes by now. You're officially my fave reaction channel
You pulled me in with this show - because I love it and want everyone to watch it. You kept me with your brief but intelligent discussion. I'm with you for all 24 episodes now. I hope that's okay. 😁
omg i was so excited to see u guys react to this
HOLY FUCK IT DOES SOUND LIKE SHAKIRA WHAT THE FUCK WHY HAVE I NOT NOTICED THIS IM LITERALLY HISPANIC
Hope you enjoy this. It was my AotS (sorry Frieren lovers). Pay close attention to all the little things, because they nearly all come back in later episodes in one way or another. Enjoy!!
yasssssssssssss!!!!!!!!! You guys will love this show for sure!!!! its amazing!!!!!!!!
Someone observed that it's like House MD, but where the MD is Ming Dynasty.
So glad you started react to this show, it's one of my favorites ✨✨🤍🔥
From Anya to Frieren to Gyokuyou.... same VA, Atsumi Tanezaki, was busy in Winter 2023
And with all three renewed, she will likely stay very busy
Oh nice! Glad you start this one. This is really good show! Enjoy!
Apothecary is now my favorite anime of all time. One of the best written female-lead characters ever and some of the best world building using Imperial China as a backdrop.
I CANNOT wait for you guys to get to episode 4.
The super ride of the season has started! The next 25 episodes are going to be fantastic to watch you guys watch. Keep the great discussions up!
This, frieren and dungeon meshi was the big 3 of that season for me
✨ *FUN FACT: Apothecary Diaries released the first 3 episodes on their first air while Frieren did 4 consecutive episodes, if I'm not mistaken.* :)
also the fact that I read these 2 mangas consecutively last year and then later realizing they got animated on that same year is pure bliss. 💕

I really love this show, and I enjoy rewatching it with you guys too
APOTHECARY??!?!?!?!.! WHOOOOOO

Hope yall get hooked :33333
Yay I'm so excited! I love this series so much that after watching the anime I immediately bought the manga adaptation and the original novels, haven't been this focused reading novels for a while 😂
this show is an absolute treat

iirc in thw manga they say that it's hard to find a physician that is willing to become an eunuch just to be able to work at the rear palace. 😮
you know when a show is backed by the studio by how much gorgeous it is. and this one is one of the most beautiful i saw! I love aoi yuuki (maomao) her voice is perfect for this character. she's also the voice of Yuzu from A silent voice. i already saw that show 4 times and never get bored by it. can't wait for 2025 for the season 2.
I don't think I've ever been more into looking forward to new anime episodes since that time when Frieren, Apothecary Diaries, and Dungeon Meshi coincided.
I Recommend you guys to watch "Oshi no ko" plsss, that show is banger and their songs too
Finalmente,che bello 😊. Uno dei miei anime preferiti. Bravi 👏👏👏👏
YOO WE'RE WATCHING PEAK
The season two is coming by the end of this year
Lead based white powder were still used and finaly ban in late 1800s in Europe/North America, so it has been around/a problem for a very long time.
Beauty is skin deep, but so is lead poisoning.
Fun fact: VA for Gyokuyou is the same as for Frieren
Its one of my fav medical, past or mystery (i guess) anime which i watched after a long while. Thanks for starting this series as well.
Hell yeah Maomao is in the house..
Ohhhh, I’m kinda excited cause I haven’t watched it yet, but I guess this definitely a way to start.
I would recommend at least watching an episode or two ahead, so many little things…
Finally maomao and jinshi😍😍😍
best anime of the year so far imo 😊
trivia:
Gaoshun's VA and Tengen Uzui are the same 😊
Thats how you write strong woman :D i love this borderlinegirl ♥
I LOVE THIS ANIME SOOOOO MUCH! TOTALLY THE BEST ONE IN 2024 #APOTHECARYDIARIES
This show is so amazing that I want to get my fix for palace drama, I picked up YATAGARASU series which is also really good.
Love this series. Love the Anime, loved the manga before that and I've picked up some of the novels. Very, very good.
yess I'm also so curious that I read the manga adaptation and original novel series. Currently reading vol.4 of the novel and it's so much fun
I recommend pseudo harem and alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian/roshidere
Pseudo harem is diabetes and roshidere is peak🗣️
I love this show.
Goona love for sure !!!!!
YEAHHHHH MAO MAO BEST GIRL!!!!!!
