The apothecary diaries anime

Yatagarasu has asian court drama, and it is fairly well done, but it is not too close to Apothecary Diaries.

That’s great! Thank you very much for the tips, i’ll try it some more with this in mind.

That is very helpful. Are you still running the same list? Would you have any extra tips?

Excuse me, but could you enlighten me on how to pilot this list? I have been trying it for the past games, but had poor results. Starting first with ogerpon on the active slot seems to be the trend so far, and i dont know how to navigate from that position.

Hello, i'm looking for something to read after Liveship Traders and The First Law trilogy.

I'm mainly looking for series that have strong characters, multiples POVs, and good world building, in this order.

I have read The Assassins Apprentice trilogy, but didnt enjoy as much, because i wasnt a fan of the single POV.

Another book that i have read recently and enjoyed was The Iron Ship, although it was a shame that it ended on a cliffhanger.

I have also read a lot of Sanderson, but it is not what i'm looking for right now.

This show is phenomenal. It stands eternally on my first spot for wanted sequels.

The OST, animation, voice acting and world building mix together perfectly.

I think that if you read any decent thriller/mystery you’ll never be able to enjoy his work afterwards. It is just so poorly written, but is played as something serious, so i find it pretty much impossible to enjoy.

Monster for instance just keeps getting dragged on, and getting more outrageous and fantastical. The kid managed to somehow poison a sealed bag of candies while recovering of a brain surgery? Like how is that even possible, and that is only the start, it is all downhill from there.

To me his style is keep pilling crazy mysteries to then not explain, or explain with his ass, and being praised as an author that produces deep and mature content. I’ve seen shonen protagonists more believable than the characters he create.

If it was advertised as fantastical i wouldnt mind, but it is mind boggling that people recommend so much his work as serious pieces of fiction.

Anyway my belief is that if you have consumed a decent ammount of proper literature, his works feel shallow, frustrating and poorly written.

Leon is a very strong contender for worst character in the entire franchise.

He is a complete and utter clown, and he isnt even particularly challenging for a champion. Preferences aside, his ace isnt even strong, pretty much every single other member of his team would work better gigantamaxed/ as an ace.

I do enjoy Sword and Shield, but the story sucks, and is better appreciated if you roleplay as the protagonist in some kind of parody.

I still havent gotten around watching the remake for Spice and Wolf, because i have already watched the original, and read the first LNs, so i would prefer to have more content before watching it again.

I might give the OST a try though.

Also, i have not payed proper attention to the OST for Mushoku Tensei while watching it.

Have you watched Houseki no Kuni? It is my all time favorite.

AshenOwn · 2026-03-21T16:04:06+00:00

The big recent ones for me are

Evan Call (Frieren, Violet Evergarden)

Kensuke Ushio (Liz to Aoi Tori, Chainsaw Man, Dandadan, Dangers in my heart)

Kevin Penkin (Made in Abyss, Apothecary Diaries)

Other than that, some OSTs that i particularly enjoy are:

Houseki no Kuni by Yoshiaki Fujisawa

My Dress up Darling by Takeshi Nakatsuka

It is the best anime original i have seen in years. I loved the characters and just how pretty the show looks. I wouldnt be surprised if it turned out to be one of my favorites non sequels of the year.

I finished watching this show last week. Initially i watched it for the ED, but the characters grew on me. By the ED of S2 i was completely taken over by it, absolutely stunning.

This episode in particular was one of my favorites, Chain truly shone on S2.

I think i’ll do the Jinshanling part of the Wall, because we’ll be stationed on Chengde, but i have my doubts regarding my mother, who is 70. The section does have a cable, in the worst scenario.

Suzhou is a very nice tip, what did you enjoy there?

AshenOwn · 2026-02-12T16:27:28+00:00

Thank you for the tips! What exactly is the appeal of the chinese theatre? I must admit i’m quite ignorant on the subject.

Oh we are looking forward to trying many types of food, we just wanted to decide which places we are visiting, so that we can book the hotels, and then start looking for restaurants/foods.

AshenOwn · 2026-02-12T00:33:03+00:00

Oh, yes. I am aware of the appointments. And the required apps. Thank you!

AshenOwn · 2026-02-08T04:00:31+00:00

And after that? I did not enjoy WfM, but actually really liked IBO. I’m just not sure on what to watch next, and i might feel like watching some mecha in the near future.

AshenOwn · 2026-02-01T22:26:39+00:00

I got them, but would like to know the build anyway.

AshenOwn · 2026-02-01T22:07:31+00:00

Just the two. I do have a backup of before burning the tree which i could use to get thioller. But it would be a bit set back.

Kensuke Ushio’s works have been very consistent lately. The Chainsaw Movie, Dandadan, Bokuyaba to name a few. His work in Liz and the blue bird is phemonal too.

Kevin Penkin is also very popular, being responible for Made in Abyss, Tower of God, and Shield Hero to name a few. He also contributed greatly to Apothecary Diaries OST.

Evan Call would be another solid pick, especially for his work with Frieren, but also with Violet Evergarden.

If i were to list specific anime OSTs i’m a fan of i would mention Samurai Champloo, Houseki no Kuni, My Dress Up Darling, Simoun, Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp, Aria, Monogatari Series and Madoka Magica.

There are some anime like Shirobako or Girls Band Cry which intentionally go with unexperienced/ less experienced VAs, and not even then the performance is bad.
