The Apothecary Diaries

Maomao is a refreshing main character. She is intelligent, decisive, independent, and unafraid to confront or criticize her peers. She has her weaknesses though and won't hesitate test herbs on herself or drink poison for the fun of it! She is utterly unphased by the advances of Jinshi (whose beauty swoons every other girl), causing him to take interest in her.

The emotional tones are well placed. I feel the humor, sadness, anger, and excitement of the characters. It presents serious themes with enough room for the audience to process them, and it pokes fun by humorously portraying characters as cats or mice to reflect their personalities.

The show is set in an imperial Asian country and it injects all the taboos and social conventions from that time. It's interesting to see how this class-heavy, patriarchal environment affects the character's motives and decisions. Certainly a unique setting that is incorporated into the plot very well.

After long time I have found such a great anime , Mao Mao the protagonist is a well written character. She is smart and better protagonist than most of the animes protagonist that are releasing. The story is light hearted . This show follows Mao Mao a girl , who was kidnapped and sold as a maid in rear palace . The story is settled at ancient china, which really fascinated me and encouraged me to research on Chinese history. I like the animation although backgrounds could be more detailed, the love interest is also a really well written character , there are no unessecary romance . Each episode is enjoyable. Hundred percent recommended. I will never shut up about this. My friends also got hooked and they rarely watch anime .

This is a great anime with an amazing story and it contains some funny humor in the right places, I personally love the way the setting of this anime is set and the colouring of it makes it feel enjoyable! Also the animation is very well produced although there are times where the CGI is a bit obvious it's still looks alright. The characters in this anime have amazing characteristics and it's amazing to see how they all grow and learn from their actions, the character development is well done!

I do hope to see a bright future for this anime, if the anime does stand out I would highly recommend reading the manga! I would definitely recommend watching this anime <3.

I cannot describe how much I love the art in this show, every scene is absolutely beautiful, almost reminding me of "studio - Ghibli" inspired scenery and the main character is hilarious and likable it comes off as a bit of a murder mystery most episodes.the plot also moves at a pretty quick pace compared to most which I find more exciting and each episode feels fresh and engaging. However, depending on preference I'd probably recommend 13+ for this anime.that being said this is a great show for teens and adults alike whether alone or in a group this is a must-see for fantasy anime enthusiasts.

Hi. I'm 11 years old and I live in Bangladesh in south east Asia. My name is Manha. I think apothecary diaries is a nice anime series. The concept is nice. The amount of knowledge put in to this is woow. The animation is top. I'm so surprised of how they have been able to send 1 episode in 1 week with the animation being so good 👍. Just by watching 1 episode anyone can tell exactly how much effort was put in to this. Everything about it is nice. I'm very sure that they have tried their best in to make such an amazing show. It is one of the most beautiful, amazing, etc the best anime series I have ever watched. So, these are the reasons I gave it a 10 out of 10. And I really really hope they will make a 2nd season.
