Bilal Rajput

code geass deserved those multiple episode drops more. ;)

Wes And Steph

Apothecary diaries has a season 2 coming out soon

RCG

...I mean, come on - they give us a big drop, and you're complaining that it's not for the show you prefer? It literally works in everyone's favor anyway. If you like the show, good for you, right? If you don't like it, it's still good for you - they'll finish the series faster, and you can vote for a new one.

Hugo Vormster

Wow this is wild a big drop is nutty omg waow

Bilal Rajput

Bilal Rajput

Lol didnt really Expected a reply. Im just kidding.😁

Billbob

Wow, starting yet another great series. Already subbed for hxh, haikyu, code geass, and the eventual Mushoku return and I cant sub any harder but I'm here for it. Binged all of S1 two weekends ago and was surprised by how entertaining it was.

axilir21

Damn, that's such a good surprise. So excited to watch this with you 2!

Infinite Winds

If you wanna be done with season 1 before season 2 starts airing, you're gonna need a time machine for it is already airing with 15 episodes out.

Fabien

This show was made for you tbh. Lots of intrigues for you to theorize, a unique main character, a beautiful historical setting... Try to keep in mind the things that happen in each episodes, because some things are more important than it seems for the story.

lord_haseo

if you want another anime like this i recommend Ascendance of a Bookworm

Runhua Tang

Maomao Let's GOOO! Honestly, it's probably a good idea to react to Apothecary Diaries at this point, when it's relavency hasn't died down yet.

Sam

you guys can watch the OP, it is spoiler free and a banger

Tabii🪷

OH MY GOD YESSS!! ive been waiting for you guys to react to something like a shoujo even tho this is not entirely one it has that subtle romance i think this types of shows are your styles(kaguyasama) like seinen 🫶💌

Barry

You guys are great, also ruined my chance of sleeping but hey!!

Mikki

6 episodes wow, time to binge watch thank you!

Renden

BIG agree on this one actually

Sam

Thanks for reacting to this series, it's so good

axilir21

Even if you meant it as a ''joke'', try to at least make it sound like one.

RCG

The two main characters are nothing like what I expected, especially Maomao. She's incredibly pragmatic and smart for someone so young. I'm really curious about her upbringing; how and why she turned out this way.

Æsir

Yokatttaaaaaa

S

The story is set in a loose version of Imperial china and the only men allowed near the harem would be eunuchs so the couldn't have a child that could take the throne

halastair

Thank you for the peak! Also remember that even stuff that seems like one episode story could come back in like 30 episodes. Every detail could play big role in overall story!

Omer Durrani

Alright so idk how new animes that are airing are chosen for watching here, just joined this month for binging ya'lls awesome content. YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT TO BE HERO X!!! WEEKLY REACTIONS WOULD GO SO HARD!

Kuutearica

WHAT A FEAST LADIES AND GENTS!

Renden

Glad you like the show, isn't Maomao just so interesting? She makes the already good show so much better. Fun little tidbit: the voice actress for Maomao is the incredibly talented Aoi Yuuki...who also plays the sin archbishop of Lust in Re:Zero, among other roles. One of my favorite VA's for sure.

Richard Rear

face powder used to contain lead which would then be absorbed and passed to the child during breast feeding, also it remains in the body for a long time

Jane Ling

Thank you guys. I really enjoyed this so much. I am so excited for the next episodes 💜

Vasiliy5511

Wow, what a surprise. By the way, it's safe to watch the opening/endings, there are no spoilers in it

Æsir

By the way, the reason the minister tasted the poison after Maomao was because Maomao looked so beautiful and looked as if she ws enjoying it soooo much that everyone was like.... "is it REALLY poison if she is liking it that much?" It was explained in novel

Ryne

As soon as I saw you started this, I had to renew my membership. Excited to check out your reactions to this series.

Ryne

I can't wait for the next season. Would be great to see them react to it

Narawin971

Wooooowww !!! thank for the 6 episodes !! We're eating GOOD

Astor Lefflinker

The channel that keeps on giving. Thanks for the 6 episode upload! I also really hope those other new shows would include Cyberpunk Edgerunners! I really think that anime is perfect for you two to react to.

ElijahLew

It always amazed me how well animated episode 4 is. Even Wesley pointed it out. Apparently they had a guest director just for that episode. The animation even in seemingly inconsequencial movements were so smooth. I hate how lots of people bashed the episode saying it had the worst animation just because the artstyle became simpler for the sake of smoother movement :/

Wes And Steph

Don’t worry! We understand! We just wanted to let you know why!!

F

Omggg yessss yesss!! Thank you for the 6 episodes!!!

RCG

Usually there are separate posts where they collect recommendations and then a poll afterwards.

Omer Durrani

Hoping for to be hero x then! Thank you for the reply!

S_Cero

Holy 6 episode drop

Christian F

Also recommend watching Edge runners in English since that is the actual original language for that anime.

Kellsier Lyxci

I would say the premise of the show is quite historically accurate to the Chinese imperial court.

Kret

So happy to see you two reacting to this from what I understand depending on how it's written Maomao can mean cat-cat in Japanese there was a Chinese general who's name mao was accidentally recorded as cat so there is a running joke in different bits of media of a general cat normally referred to as neko shogun

Runhua Tang

I’m Chinese, and Imperial Court shows are one of the biggest genres on Chinese television, so it was pretty exciting to see an anime about Chinese imperial court. Some fun facts about characters' names: Maomao: "Mao (猫)" literally means "cat", which you might already guessed. Jinshi: "壬氏" isn't a "real" name. "Shi (氏)" means "family name", so "Jinshi" means "a person with Jin as his last name" or "a woman who's married to the Jin family". "Shi" was often used as a place-holder for people who have their names removed for whatever reason, usually married women. There are also some character names based on famous Chinese historical figures: "Gao Shun" was a famous military general during the Three Kingdom era. Considering Gaoshun's physique this might be an intentional reference. "Li Haku" was one of the most well known poet of Chinese history. Also: "Xiao" (小) in Chinese means "Little", often used in nicknames. That's why baby Ling Li is sometimes called "Xiao Ling".

The point about 11 minutes in about how being a virile eunuch is an evolutionary viable strategy to having your kids be next in line reminds me of a certain "rock-paper-scissors" relationship between different coloured lizards. Essentially, there were three coloured lizards (blue, orange , and yellow) vying for territory and breeding rights. The blue ones would have one female they mate with and a small territory, but the orange ones would have multiple females and a large territory, easily outcompeting the blue ones. However, the yellow coloured lizards would pretend to be female, infiltrating the orange territory like eunuchs in a harem. When there are a lot of blue lizards, the orange ones would outcompete them because they bred faster and had access to more resources. When there are a lot of orange lizards, the yellow ones would outcompete them by making it so the majority of their children actually turned out yellow. When there are a lot of yellow lizards, the blue lizards would breed faster because it's harder to trick them due to their monogamy and small territory size. This would cycle on and on and on (barring mutations, bottlenecks, ect) for thousands of years

Ramms

Jinshi has the same VA as Aqua from Oshi no Ko

Renden

The next season is slated for 2026

Gavern

Just a heads up, the first opening for season 1 doesn't have any spoilers in it so it's safe to watch.

Cat Huang

cant wait for the next AD react :D!

Yorutia

Yep. And of course, Maomao has the same VA as Capella the sin archbishop of lust from re:zero, lmao.

Yorutia

Hmm, not exactly accurate. English and Japanese are both the original language. Don't forget thatt the anime was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, a Japanese director, and animated by studio TRIGGER, a Japanese company. CD Projekt Red was of course heavily involved but is was not the sole production company. Even Wikipedia lists Japanese as the original language. (Not necessarily objecting to the recommendation though, because the acting in either language was good.)

Astor Lefflinker

Yorutia is correct, the original language is technically Japanese. I believe even Netflix labels it so when you select subtitle languages. I watched it the first time in Japanese and it was a great experience. I rewatched it in the english dub and it's also great. Both dubs are great but I do understand why you'd get so many people recommending it in English dub because the setting is in an American city - or at least used to be in the lore, and the in-universe slang/terms are of course spoken as they are in in the English dub just like in the game whereas with the sub, you'd only be reading it in the subtitles.

Joshua Moore

Dr stone is the perfect show for yall

The Anime Dude

As someone who prefers subs & originally watched Cyberpunk Subbed… I think English dubbed would be better too. Both are good, but gosh dang there’s so much reading in certain moments with the sub that it can be difficult to not feel a bit overwhelmed, you know?

Something to consider regarding the entertainment district is that it wasn't only brothels. It also offered higher forms of entertainment such as reading of poem's, discussion of philosphy, playing board games, dance, etc. High ranked courtesans would usually only be involved with these higher forms of entertainment. The courtesans had a contract with a house and when they got bought, the client was basically taking over the contract. They could be bought for various reasons, for example being talented at something.

Joshua Gilbert

I have been waiting to see this reaction!, honestly so much! Lol

Wonka

Yes!! W!

Ramms

That's Gaoshun's VA

Lucjusz Kusiński

Funfact: Cacao was proved to be placebo. The only thing it is doing is it gives pleasure when chocolate is melting on your tongue. It's purely sensational and placebo.

Holy Arathi

I had to look this up but there’s a bunch of meanings to those hairpins. When Jinshi gave Maomao a hairpin it was him staking claim of her, when Lihua gave her one it was recognition of a great service and when Lihaku gave her one it was a promise later down the road she can make a request of leave of absence using him as a proxy to the court.
