| Strife2 04/07/24 10:55:10 AM #194: | I finished Apothecary Diaries, and holy crap, Maomao is my favorite character in an anime in like forever. It's impressive just how much one character can mean to a show's success when they are written as nuanced as she is. Downtrodden, street smart, yet childish, angsty when necessary, yet always shows multiple sides, and always able to change the tide of a scene without it coming off as against type.
The political intrigue and mystery bits are done well enough, kinda like a less serious Raven of the Inner Palace. Really, the reason I prefer this over Raven is how Maomao is portrayed. Similar to Frieren, where the comedy doesn't seem out of place and the serious moments don't seem unnatural. Just a perfect balance: just like Maomao. I can't wait for Season 2. --- "Evening caress, Always yearning, I must confess, The stars aren't burning" Copernicus - Candlemass ... Copied to Clipboard! |
