Fun fact is that Kevin Penkin, the person who directed the music for Made in Abyss also produced for this show

Maomao our cat detective. This is a fresh break from typical anime. Love how well this is written, in so much that it looks “mundane” but there is always this underlying mystery and intrigue, with well timed comedy on top of it. Love this anime, glad to rewatch it with you!

Xiaolan, aka gossip girl, is probably my favorite character in the show. She is adorable and precious and deserves to be protected.

You know, the fun thing sbout this anime is, they modelled the palace after the forbidden city. I visited the forbidden city and can actually pick out what building was copied one to one into the anime. It's so very cool! Also, Maomao is one of the best female protagonists in anime, imo

Lihua losing her son hits different after getting to know her throughout the whole first season and more

Frieren and Apothecary Diaries are up for several awards this year, with both being nominated for Anime of the Year. Personally, I'm picking Frieren, but I wouldn't be sad if Apothecary Diaries won.

Yeah one of the best things about Apothecary Diaries other than MaoMao is how brief the episodes feel which means you get really invested in them and lose sense of time.

the first 3 episodes of Apothecary Diaries aired all at once, similar to the first few episodes of Frieren

I think this is the kind of anime that people that didn't even like anime would enjoy. Maomao is one of my all time favorite anime characters.

Yeah, definitely much more similar to Frieren than Gurren Lagann, haha. Even though some of the drama elements aren't really my cup of tea with this one, the sheer quality of the show and its storytelling made me keep up with it happily.

I'm a few episodes into season 2, and this is the best anime I've seen in a long time. I hope you stick with it for a while, because some of the later episodes are transcendent.
