    Unexpectedly Good

    This anime is really one of the best that I have seen in years! Its very light hearted even when talking about serious topics. Honestly its so good and even makes you care for unsavory characters. The episode plots can be a bit complex but if you've seen Detective Conan you can rest assured the wrap up will be smoothly given in the next episode. I'm not one for drama but this does in a very settle way that doesn't focus on it like the majority of media does. The characters are all so interesting or just plain funny. The background is absolutely well done. Yet the characters do not take away from that nor does the background outshine the character. The visual editors of this anime must be top notch!

    The ending was well done and now there is a season 2 in the making! I can not wait to see what happens! I know there were a few loose ends in the first season and now we can get those answers! I am also curious to see what happens between Maomao and Jinshi! Their relationship is interesting and delightfully not traditional romance!

    A relaxed young adult murder-mystery series

    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.

    Magical and exciting!

    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.

    Such an interesting storyline

    None of the episodes were boring. Usually, I leave many of the series in between, but this never let me down. I have watched all the episodes weekly and never felt like leaving in between. This will be in one of my top recommendations. Even in some good stories you could guess what's going to happen but it's always different in this series. I hope this anime gets noticed well. Excited to see what's going to happen in the next season. It's heart warming at times, abit emotional in between, something times comedic. I think it has a perfect blend of everything. Wishing this series my wishes. May it be a successful one!!!

    Amazing story

    One of the best female protagonists in any anime, she is similar than Freiren, both are strong and very smart beautiful women, there are not a lot of main leads like these two and in the same year 2023-2024 we have both that are excellent

    This show has a lot of complex characters and its true the episodes can feel episodic, its not that bad because everyone in the show it's somehow connected to each other, the storylines are powerful and some are tragic and that makes the journey very enjoyable, there is not a villain villain here, there are just bad and good people, there are some nasty personality's here overall a great anime 9/10.

    • Trivia
      Maomao's name means "Cat Cat" in Chinese. She is depicted as a cat girl when her inner monologue is revealed. It slightly angers her when she is called "Xiaomao", which is not a mere mispronunciation: "xiao" means little or infant, so this name means "Little Cat" or "Kitten".
