I Finally Watched The First Episode Of The Apothecary Diaries

The Apothecary Diaries has been one of the seven animes I said I would be reviewing for Fall 2023. This anime aired in October. It’s December right now. I finally stopped holding it off and got to watching the first episode; I’m eight episodes behind! What are my thoughts of the first episode? I think it’s interesting!

I love fantasy shows, and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is one of the animes I am watching this season. I know that The Apothecary Diaries is another hyped up show and I actually love the difference between them. Frieren is a western-inspired fantasy story while The Apothecary Diaries is an eastern-inspired fantasy story. I love that I’m now reviewing two fantasy shows of opposite spectrums.

From what I saw, this anime seems to be about Maomao, the protagonist, who was kidnapped and sold to work as a palace servant. She used to be an apothecary and lived with her dad before her kidnapping, so she has a plethora of knowledge about herbs and poisons. She had involved herself with solving the mysteries behind the illnesses of the baby prince and princess and realizes that they were poisoned. She tries to warn the consorts about the poison, but it was too late for Consort Lihua as the prince died while the princess, daughter of Consort Gyokuyou, survived thanks to the mother heeding Maomao’s warning. This catches the attention of both Gyokuyou and Jinshi, a very beautiful eunuch who is in charge of the rear palace where this all takes place. I think that the story is going to be about Maomao using her knowledge to solve poisoning cases, so I think that the story will be episodic in a way, which isn’t bad.

Maomao as a character and protagonist is very interesting. Because she’s an apothecary, she was able to educate herself into knowing how to read and write, a trait that not many low-class girls like her have; this is evident with how Xiaoling, her friend, asked her what her tag said and how she was the only one who read Jinshi’s sign when servant girls were called to his office. I really like smart characters, so to see Maomao be that sort of character makes me excited to see more. I just hope the writing will be consistent for her. She was super cute with how she liked seeing herbs and such. I can’t wait to see how she’ll use her knowledge to help people. I already like her.

Jinshi feels very sketchy to me. He’s beautiful as heck, but he’s giving me trust issues. Is he using Maomao or does he genuinely want to work with her? If so, what’s his reason? He seems like a man of high status and what I know about asian/oriental fantasy stories is that any man of high status are suspicious. I do have to say, the anime really does like to emphasize how beautiful this man is as there are always close ups of his face or some parts of his face to show off his beauty. Someone in the animation studio must really like him.

The other characters in the story haven’t shown much, so I can’t say much about them. Xiaoling is cute. Gaoshun is probably that one character that has screen time but doesn’t say much due to his role as Jinshi’s attendant. Lihua seems like she’ll either be a villainous woman or one with development later on. Gyokuyou seems like a nice lady. I’ll talk more about the characters once they get more screen time in future episodes.

This story is Chinese inspired from names to buildings, but why is it that Gyokuyou’s name is in Japanese while everyone else’s names are in Chinese? I’ve noticed that Japan has a tendency to do this sometimes when it comes to animes with Chinese affluence. From this spreadsheet I saw on TVtropes, Gyokuyou’s name in Chinese would be Yuye. I mean, sometimes, Chinese, Japanese and Korean names would be translated into how it would be pronounced in their respective languages, but in a world where there are names like Maomao, Jinshi and Lihua, a more Japanese name like Gyokuyou does stick out like a sore thumb.

Not just Jinshi, the entire animation is very beautiful. The studio is OLM Incorporated; they have done many projects, but they’re also known for animating the Pokemon anime since the beginning and are even animating Horizons. The whole scenery and the way everything is colored is so beautiful. I really love how the flowers look, honestly. The rhododendron flowers look really pretty. Maybe it’s just a me thing, but any anime that can animate nature super well is a good one for me. The music is also really good too! The opening is addicting to look and listen.

The voice acting is superb. They got an all-star cast with a few rising stars. Aoi Yuuki stars as Maomao. I think this is a perfect fit. Yuuki has the range to pull off the serious, comedic and cute moments. Maomao was so entertaining to watch just from the first episode because of her performance. Jinshi is voiced by Takeo Otsuka. I feel like I’m seeing that name a lot in recent animes. I know he voiced Aqua in Oshi no Ko and Aqua is one of my favorite characters there. Unlike Aqua, Jinshi is more of a dynamic character, so instead of seeing him all moody and depressed like in Oshi no Ko, he’s all chipper. I think this shows Otsuka’s range and I can see why he’s getting casted left and right—he’s definitely a rising star. I don’t think I’ve heard Yui Ishikawa voice such a hot woman before. I’m usually familiar with her voicing teenagers, so this is the firs time I’ve seen her voice an adult and a mom at that. Lihua hasn’t shown up yet, but I do commend Ishikawa for going out of her comfort zone. I didn’t even know Yoko Hikasa voiced Gyokuyou until I looked it up. I don’t remember the last time she used that tone for a character. She has been voicing strong-willed, tough older ladies lately, so hearing her using a rather softer tone caught me off guard. Everyone else did a great job; I’ll talk about their performances in future episode.

Since this will have 24 episodes, I will be taking my time with the reviews for this anime. I know I am behind, but I want to take my time since I am juggling with a plethora of other animes to review. I hope you enjoyed my review! What are your thoughts on the first episode of this anime?

Are there stories about Bixia Yuanjun? Like, I'd say I know her more for, in other words, having jurisdiction over fox spirits. But are there stories or tales that involve her?

Also, is it a positive relationship or is it a relationship that could be considered "strictly professional"?

Yes indeed!

Bixia Yuanjun is also called Lady of Mt. Tai; as you can see, she is an important part of the East Mount worship. But whereas the Lord of Mt. Tai is more heavily associated with the Underworld and the dead, Bixia Yuanjun is both a mountain goddess, the guardian of women, and protector + giver of children.

To use an analogy: she is like the Mazu of northern China——a regional goddess who became vastly popular over time.

The earliest written record of Bixia Yuanjun was from the Song-Yuan era. The Yuan dynasty 文献通考 mentioned the "Pool of the Jade Maiden of Mt. Tai", and the Ming dynasty 玉女传 expanded further on this "Jade Maiden" variant of her tale.

Here, her name was Yuye, born of two mortals, she was a worshipper of QMoW, and at age 14-17, she ascended and became the Jade Maiden of Mt. Tai.

Another Ming dynasty folklore compendium, 枣林杂俎, said that her worship started in the Song dynasty: basically, there were two Han dynasty statues of the "Golden Boy and Jade Maiden" that had sunken into the Jade Maiden's pool.

When the maiden's statue resurfaced during Zhenzong's reign, she was granted the title "Bixia Yuanjun" and became an officially sanctioned goddess.

Though she had a lot of origin stories——some said that she was the Heavenly Emperor's daughter, others said she was one of the Yellow Emperor's seven daughters, the most popular origin story puts her as the daughter of the Lord of Mt. Tai.

Because of her role as the guardian of children, she was also believed to have control over smallpox——a common childhood disease.

Which might be why FSYY gave the "Bixia Yuanjun" title to Yu Hualong, who, alongside his five sons, could unleash AOE pox spells...even though the "Yuanjun" title is goddess-exclusive.

As influential as FSYY is on folk religions, this original twist is not a popular one and has been mostly ignored by worshippers.

(Though it'll be prime dark humor material if you use FSYY's pantheon, and say that Bixia Yuanjun is Huang Feihu's daughter. Like, her mom and aunt all died horribly thanks to Daji, and then someone in the Celestial Realm/she herself went "You know what, putting the East Mount in charge of fox cultivation exams is a great idea.")

As for her relationship to the foxes? Dunno. The Qing legends never go into details. However, because of her jurisdiction over foxes, there were mentions of fox immortals that have done bad things being punished by her.

For example, in Vol. 5 of 子不语, a male fox charmed a human woman and sired four sons, who looked human but had fox tails. Because of that, he was punished by the Lady of Mt. Tai to work on road construction, and was never allowed to set foot outside of her turf again.

HC-wise, I feel like her relationship with foxes is probably more "professional" than personal, because of the authority she had over them. More PhD supervisor than fox mom, to use an analogy.

Ok, so hear me out

there's this game that's gonna be Global soon called Lunar Romance, right? They shared the promo for all characters and as a wannabe designer I noticed something...

... why is Hwal the only one with different design choices?

Look at how his "phrase" right below his name and title has colorful outline, unlike the others'. Also he's the only one that's aligned to the right? Not a coincidence at all, since his whole design is inverted (the bookmark thing on the description and closing button next to the hashtags too!)

Even the moon in the logo is inverted, guys. This isn't just stylistic choice.

The little preview circles are interesting: every character has the first pic more dark/serious/non-romantic, while the second is more sweet (Yuye) or low-key hot (Baek and Eunhan). Hwal is totally the opposite, having a lighter picture first, smiling, and a serious one right after.

Although the description doesn't give any major "he's actually evil or a traitor", I feel Hwal is going to have some key role in the story. I kinda like that, can't deal with the CEO-is-the-main-guy thing anymore lmao

Anyways, just a theory. Can't wait for this game to release so I can have a new obsession to light up my life!

[yamiiwaii]

It's me after so long the one, the only, 🏐 anon!

We figured out that yeah we're definitely plural. And recently found out we have not one, not two, but three celestial monkey introjects (sun wukong, macaque (from what I've heard likes to go my mihou or six), and someone who formed from my lmk self insert oc, Yuye).

I say this because I woke up this morning in shock, unbelieving we have three whole magic monkeys in the system which previously consisted of (from those who've let me know they're around), a human volleyball player, a piglin, a revived man, a cat baker, an ancient shadowy cryptid who likes to pretend hes just a normal fox guy, and an enderian historian. Big shock to me.

For the first time, i got an actual word response as i contemplated these newly known headmates, a half offended "hey!"

And back responded, not sure from who: "yeah, well youre made lego." Followed by the lego bricks falling apart sound effect.

I also only noticed the new person in front (wukong and yuye) because i was playing Minecraft found "heavenly tea" from one of the mods and heard a very distinct "i wonder if that would make me immortal?'

OMG HEY I MISSED YOU

i was wondering where youve been lately, its good to hear from you again !!

i completely understand that though, thats how i felt when i kept splitting wukongs and such they really just come out of nowhere truly. im glad you and your sys are doing well though !! and that ygs are communicating and stuff nod nod
