We have been LOVING this series so far! Maomao is a legend! We’re 9 episodes in over on Patreon for anyone who wants to get ahead! www.patreon.com/carlie_and_ange
Damn, I already love the OP, but your cover slaps! So good! Apothecary Diaries has been my favourite show that season! It running at the same time as Frieren was such a treat every week!
This anime has easily became one of my favorites. I don’t think I’ve watched an anime before where everyone episode, at some point I’m smiling ear to ear. Such a good anime, it’s so cute, wholesome, and funny🫶🏽
A little short TMI. The 'Mao' in Mao Mao's name actually means 'cat' in Chinese, so that's why she has cat ears whenever she has that chibi form. It was also nice of you guys to catch the fact that 'curiousity kills the cat' because Maomao is so curious all the time. XD
I really like this series as it's a really solid historical fiction that's pretty grounded. It mixes Ming and Tang dynasty with a lot of accurate societal, structure, caste system, etc. The drama here is also very much what you would see in many Chinese shows about this period as it's always about the conflict between people in the palace, not about the warring events going on outside of the palace. The author really did their research. Also It's funny you said curiosity killed the cat. MaoMao's name is literally CatCat in Chinese, and you will notice she has a lot of catlike qualities in her personality aside from the physical transformations.
Apothecary is to Pharmacist what Alchemist was to chemist.....They were like the pre organised science versions of their field and had mixed success with their effectiveness
Maomao is constantly trying to keep a low profile, but Jinshi won't let her brain sit idle and drags her into affairs she's trying to avoid. Her little friend Xiaolan meets with Maomao for snack time and fills Maomao in on all the rumors and doings in the rear palace.
It's hereeeee. SO excited for your reactions to this!!! Here's hoping you both don't get spoiled in the comments because this series relies heavily on the mystery/conspiracy aspect, so if you feel the need to put a spoiler warning don't hesitate to do so! 💚
Up until the 1800s whitening cosmetic often use lead as part of their powder which is toxic (mortal) on the long run. There was a scandal in the 1940s/50s by some cosmetic company trying to go back to that, but were stoped really fast. So the white powder problem is real problem which killed numerous of ladies along centuries.
So glad you guys are watching this! Someone already clarified that an Apothecary is basically an ancient version of a pharmacist Though if we're being technical they're basically doctors who can also make medicine/drug remedies using herbs, mushrooms, etc there were doctors in the past separate from apothecaries or they worked together.
Just found out that my favorite reactors are reacting to the apothecary dairies the same day I found out I passed the pharmacy board exams. The stars are aligning~
oh sweet! This is a great one! I'm glad y'all are enjoying it so far and hope it continues to be fun! Maomao is one of my favorite recent protagonists. She's just great lol
Gosh DAMN !! That intro was above and beyond what i expected! Ever since i saw the announcement about you guys starting this i was hyped af.. Firstly cuz i realy enjoyed the show to the utmost and cant wait to rejoin you in the journey.. and secondly cuz i was excited to see what magic Ange would pull out of his guitar strings! Love you guys and thanks for all the good vibes
This series is so good. With this and Frieren coming out at the same time, I was spoiled by some of the best anime I’ve watched for 6 months. Both shot to the top of my favorite anime of all time. This current season has been a bit of a letdown in comparison since both series are done for a while.
hey guys discovering the chanel with this one, nice video, i really like that you instantly try to go deeper on it like learning what an apothecary is etc... gonna wait for the rest with excitment... and will go see your previous content to wait...
Maomao... Shown in the posters The only one in the majority of the intro First shown in the first second of the first episode *Pairin walks by* Ange: Is she the main character? 😳 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The cover was incredible! So awesome MaoMao said that she needed something to write outloud, though it was a whisper. Jinshi said that the cloth used to write the message was the same cloth used for clothes of the serving girls and she had a very apparent tear on her dress, which she had to sew. They didn't say this outloud, only gave us a glimpse, so you might've missed it Also, just in case you don't know, being a eunuch means that you were castrated
Maomao _did_ say out loud that she needed to find something to write with, but the subtitlers did an amazing job at messing it up by putting that line in italic.
Oh Hello! Been a while that I watched you guys! Well actually, I'm back here because of this reaction coz this is a phenomenal show! I'm glad you're reacting to it! You'll enjoy this for sure! 😉
11:56 Technically speaking, I THINK it's supposed to be an unnamed, fictional China-like nation. As far as the lore is concerned, they avoid mentioning China specifically, despite the obvious inspiration and parallels.
Yessss Finally! Love this show, I'm sure this will become one of you guys' favourites too! Would really love to see your reaction to the Opening, its great and spoiler-free!
Örülök hogy reagáltok rá , tényleg nagyon jó kis sorozat. A történet érdekes, Maomao reakciója Jinshire meg hab a tortán. Imádom azt a visszafelé-simogatott macska reagálást 😂
私はアニメファンの日本人です。このチャンネルのリアクションが見たくて未視聴のアニメも視聴するようになりました。いつも新しい動画を楽しみにしています❤️🔥 I am a Japanese anime fan.l wanted to see your reaction, so I started watching anime that I haven't watched yet.I'm always looking forward to new videos❤️🔥 l used a translator, so I'm sorry if there are any strange sentences.
Awesome to see this one too! Another anime that flew under the radar and is amazing quality is Delicious in Dungeon, a more comedic one where the depth and character come in subtly throughout the run, which is probably why it didn't strike as many people when it first started airing. Has amazing mature themes and minimal fanservice so goes well with the flow :D Would love to see ya guys do a reaction to that too!
"what an awful place!" right!? but well, it's Ming-era China, afterall, haha. usually, older settings are used in fantasy anime, so you don't notice how much it sucks because there's magic. for example, in Frieren, if there weren't elves and dragons and wizards, it'd be an awful world to live in, because that's the real world of the past. I love that the story explores those aspects. of course, that's not a sleight to Frieren, just an advantage this story has which comes with its own possible disadvantages, like any setting.
@@sleekslack I mean hey, the modern Americas aren't so good either. everywhere sucks every time. it's just things suck slightly less and slightly more in different ways as time goes on, you know?
Just fyi, they mentioned that Jinshi is a eunuch which in China they are all castrated. It was the rule that men had to be castrated if they worked in positions of high civil power in the imperial palace. the idea was if they cannot have children they would not be tempted to try to overthrow the emperor and start their own dynasty. I just thought it was funny the girls were all crushing on him knowing he is a eunuch.

Mao rhymes with cow. Say it like mow mow
The series is amazing!, enjoy
@@molehansman247 Ironic since translated it basically means 'cat cat'
@@molehansman247 it's more like mah-oh, not mau
An apothecary is basically a pharmacist. Just to clarify, there is no magic in this show
Mao mao not dying is basically magic
@@jessssss6643Mao mao is already dead. Mao Mao wa shinderu.
No magic? What about all of the cat transformations? 😂
@@jessssss6643 good point
@@willpina also good point
"Curiosity kills the cat". Well, Maomao's name literally mean "cat". That's why sometimes you see Maomao had cat ears 😂
Maomao: What is in the box?
猫猫~🐱🐱
cat cat actually
@@mfthemattdetonados It can also be translated as kitten, since it's used for both, so I like to translate her name as Kittycat.
"What did he sense?"
His protangist sense was tingling.
Lmaoo he heard her talking, didn't sense anything 😂😭
Damn, I already love the OP, but your cover slaps! So good!

just because you guys just finished watching Frieren, Gyokuyo (the lady with pink hair) VA is also Frieren's VA.
Also Anya's va!
Don't forget Mikasa's VA lol
@@arielasentista6637 Li Hua?
@@Oz-gv5fz At least that's what the cast list says. I can't hear her voice anyway lol
And her baby.

Yes and their table would kept all the medicine so
When pottery barn sold them , Ross from friends had to buy it
😅
in quite a few languages variations of the word still mean pharmacy or pharmacist today
IM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT EPISODES
My son and I both absolutely love this series. So well written.
I loved "Apothecary Diaries" and got so invested in this series solely because of how much I loved Maomao!! I hope you guys grow to adore her too!
I'm automatically here. LOVE YOUR REACTIONS AS ALWAYS!
I'm so excited y'all are starting this anime! It's probably my second favorite series to come out over the past couple years.
I just love Maomao's VA
you made a good choice. this series is among the best of 2024!
Maomao is constantly trying to keep a low profile, but Jinshi won't let her brain sit idle and drags her into affairs she's trying to avoid. Her little friend Xiaolan meets with Maomao for snack time and fills Maomao in on all the rumors and doings in the rear palace.
the scream i scrumpt when i saw this notification omg
Fun fact: Mao Mao can be translated as "Cat Cat" from Chinese. =)
And how one can use it affectionately on their pets in real life, maybe similar to 'kitty cat'.
I love this show it hits my obsession with mysterys and puzzles perfectly and mowmow is such a amazing protagonist
Funny that Carlie says Jinshi is like Gojo considering they share an English va
Both this and frieren were airing at the same time, what an absolutely fantastic season of anime
It's hereeeee. SO excited for your reactions to this!!! Here's hoping you both don't get spoiled in the comments because this series relies heavily on the mystery/conspiracy aspect, so if you feel the need to put a spoiler warning don't hesitate to do so! 💚
This might be my opinion but I feel like we need more female mc who are like Maomao and Frieren. (Definitely mcs of the year)
They’re both amazing
Agree 💯👍
And now Holo is back too
Ewww, female mc 🤢🤮
well there is also Uthena...
Up until the 1800s whitening cosmetic often use lead as part of their powder which is toxic (mortal) on the long run. There was a scandal in the 1940s/50s by some cosmetic company trying to go back to that, but were stoped really fast.

I'm so pumped you're watching this one. It's gone under a lot of peoples radars.
So glad you guys are watching this!

One of my favorite along with Raven in the Inner Palace with the costume designs. Eyes just go bug-eyed every episode.
Just found out that my favorite reactors are reacting to the apothecary dairies the same day I found out I passed the pharmacy board exams. The stars are aligning~
I finished this show 3 days ago and you guys release these reactions. Nice timing since I'm on my Apothecary Diaries reaction binge.
oh sweet! This is a great one! I'm glad y'all are enjoying it so far and hope it continues to be fun! Maomao is one of my favorite recent protagonists. She's just great lol

The lady in blue, Lady Lihua is voiced by the VA of Mikasa Ackermann
Frieren and Maomao might be the 2 best drama anime I've seen in over a decade, though it's still too early to know for sure
I wouldn't necessarily say Frieren is a drama.
But anyway, March Comes in Like a Lion and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu are peak drama anime
@@Ash_Wen-li If it's not a comedy, I'll generally call it a drama
such a a good series i started watching this last week sooo good
I'm so excited to watch you watch this series!

Maomao... Shown in the posters

Ange: Is she the main character? 😳
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES!! I am so happy you're reacting to this one :D
maomao's va aoi yuki is my fav female va for shows you have watched she was the va of lucy in cyberpunk
Btw so u know. Mao translates to Cat.
The cover was incredible! So awesome
MaoMao said that she needed something to write outloud, though it was a whisper.
Jinshi said that the cloth used to write the message was the same cloth used for clothes of the serving girls and she had a very apparent tear on her dress, which she had to sew. They didn't say this outloud, only gave us a glimpse, so you might've missed it
Also, just in case you don't know, being a eunuch means that you were castrated
apothecary diaries is so good!!
yes finally I was waiting for your reaction this was one of my fav this year and I think you're gonna love the osts
Yes!!! Omg I’ve been waiting for this for a long timeeee
Gaoshun (Jinshi's attendant) has the same voice actor as Aryu from Blue lock and Tengen from Demon slayer.
Glad you're watching this. I am a new fan of apothecary. Love the anime.
Oooh, so very happy you’re doing this show
I can't believe you guys are reacting to this. I love it! Can't wait for season 2. ❤
Maomao _did_ say out loud that she needed to find something to write with, but the subtitlers did an amazing job at messing it up by putting that line in italic.
Best female Mc of all time
Peak has arrived
Can't wait for y'all to react to the OP for this. Instantly became one of my all time faves
Oh Hello! Been a while that I watched you guys! Well actually, I'm back here because of this reaction coz this is a phenomenal show! I'm glad you're reacting to it! You'll enjoy this for sure! 😉

It's not actually real China. It's an imaginary country modeled after China, but it mixes various historic eras a bit.
Quite direct attack, and that's not nice, eventhough I'm in Maomao's camp.
@@sleekslack I mean hey, the modern Americas aren't so good either. everywhere sucks every time. it's just things suck slightly less and slightly more in different ways as time goes on, you know?
@@Icapica noted! even so, what I mean mostly is "no magic", haha. but thank you for your correction.
Haikyuu, Blue Lock and now this. Yehhh! Let's goo.

Ah, the apothecary diaries! Great choice! And, indeed, the PERFECT replacement for Frieren!
Apothecary is a place where you create spells... hum? exuse me🤣
I LOVE THIS ANIME SOOOOO MUCH! TOTALLY THE BEST ONE IN 2024 #APOTHECARYDIARIES
maaaaooooo maaaaaoooooo lets go
