The Apothecary Diaries S2 Ep 1
Added 2025-01-16 22:31:31 +0000 UTCI was expecting something very different from the episode.
We don't always have to have the mystery science crime-solving material going on but I for sure got used to it! The OP music sorta put me in a state of "hmmmm, what was the song?" after first listening. I will do a video on it soon but I was SO used to peak op music that this felt a bit different. All good though. It doesn't have to be a 10 all the time.

A bit of trivia nonsense. The funny thing about MaoMao’s name is that in Chinese, “貓” (mao) = cat. I believe “Mao Mao” is our Main Character’s nickname bc we occasionally heard her be called “小貓” “Xiao Mao” in Season 1. Which mean “kitten”. (Whether xiao mao is her actual name or her nickname is something im not sure about) 小 (xiao) = small 貓 (mao) = cat So when MaoMao stated she didnt like cats and Jinshi asked “with your name?” i thought it was quite funny. Which is also why, in terms of character, MaoMao is often seen with those quirky “cat-like” personality. And also the fact that she is intentionally drawn like a cat at certain points of the show. And when MaoMao was describing why she hated cats, she 1000% described herself, which made Jinshi remember all the things he liked about her and now understands the appeal of cats is like the funniest thing to me. ^just a fun little fact. Its kinda hard to understand it make the connection when this Anime is in Japanese while the context and setting is Ancient China. But if this Anime was in Chinese, the kitten wouldve been called “Xiao Mao” instead of “Koneko”.

2025-01-17 03:45:29 +0000 UTCit definitely is just because of Lilas that it sounds like YOASOBI lol. If it was another vocalist it wouldn't sound like it. I just really don't hear Ayase at all personally. All his songs have that ''piano sound'' where you just go, ''yup this is Ayase/YOASOBI''

2025-01-17 01:01:58 +0000 UTCThough the episode was on the slower side, it's setting up the stage for next events for sure. We have a new character - girl who caught the cat, and then there's the caravan incoming. Btw, this season is also 24 episodes long. Very good!

2025-01-17 00:39:25 +0000 UTCThe OP is by Lilas Ikuta! The singer from YOASOBI. This time it's just her without Ayase although it still sounds 100% like a YOASOBI song lol

2025-01-16 23:16:45 +0000 UTCas a person who listens to alot of vocaloid and saturated stuff i can't pick up on these things very well, but when i watched the op and ending last week i thought is this something tony would not vibe with or is this just some effects added in post processing, now i know.
