The Apothecary Diaries - Part 1 - Blu-ray

I love this series! I saw it on Netflix. It’s lots of fun and a really good story. Netflix said there was nudity but there wasn’t. There were maybe 2 scenes at a communal bath with maomao and one of her sisters but the important parts of their anatomy were always covered. Maomao is like a Sherlock Holmes who loves poisons. There’s lots of humor but also some serious moments when she reveals the truth of things she’s experienced. There are grown up themes throughout the series that I personally wouldn’t recommend for young viewers. Even though I bought both Blu-ray of season 1 on sale, I still thought they were kind of expensive. But I still bought them cuz I loved it that much. I can’t wait for the next season!

This is a well done series. Mao Mao is a simple, very smart, and hard working girl with a bit of a sad background. She ends up having more influence than she could have ever imagined and she also takes no guff from anyone. It is a wonderful story based on history from this world and I find it quite believable.

A female Sherlock Holmes in a reimagined china. This series is great it has mystery, drama, political intrigue, societal issues and comedy with the dash of romance-what’s not to love? I love the story so much I dabbled in all three mediums: the anime, the manga, and the light novels they are all worth a try.

I randomly bought this anime, unsure I would like it. Mainly because I thought the cover looked weird. However I ended up really enjoying it. I also bought part 2 which mentiones that season 2 has been planned at the end of it. It’s a really good anime that also cute and funny in places.

I LOVE this Movie!!

Love the show, very engaging animation and story. On the packaging since it is a crunchyroll release, the case and slip are cheap material. The artwork on the front slip of part one is very bland. I'm hoping for a premium release in the future, for now it's in a better blu-ray case.

Great anime, but the slip cover was ripped in several places and the sides were all just shredded white and in bad condition.
