Reminds me of when I went to a family gathering a few years ago. One of my mom’s cousins asked me about anime cause she heard I had just gone to an anime con the week before. Apparently she was a teacher and one of her students is obsessed with Sailor Moon. She then asked me what I think of strong female leads(in a way meaning modern feminism). I told her I am not opposed to strong female leads but I see it no different then having strong male leads and that I don’t like the idea of American feminism being pushed into places they don’t belong. I like story not pushed politics. I don’t think she liked my answer 😅
@@siaoriharamy problem with some female leads is that people are just taking the super cliche model of 80s action hero male, doubling the meanest of the character before changing the sex
@@Nostripe361 yeah. I just don’t like how unfair they are with pushing “strong female leads”. If a guy character does one bad thing, he’s evil but if a woman does it, it’s character development. That’s why I like anime. They got their genres/demographics and they stay in their genres/demographics 95% of the time. They don’t like woke sh*t
@@siaorihara I don't mind politics being in our entertainment media. I love me some political satire. It's the divisive Identity Politics I really can't stand.
@@Blindpoet1988 same. Heck my favorite anime is Hetalia which is full of political jokes. I just want it balanced and actually funny. Example: I don’t like when people get mad when there’s “ahh women” jokes but are fine with “ahh men” jokes. People complain about women stereotypes but want to mock male stereotypes(as a woman I laugh so hard at both cause they are both funny and true to me)
One thing that I wish you would have mentioned about the apothecary diaries is how a lot of those mysteries that she solved ended up coming back later in the series to be connected together. They weren't just random mysteries for the most part. They all had a purpose. It's pretty rare to find anime that does that anymore.
I like Frieren because being almost 60, I can easily understand her perspective. If I am allowed to share a little, in a certain situation, I'm Frieren to her Himmel being my wife. And I suppose in that case, Fern is my Youngest that I'm hoping I can get into adulthood with minimal damage. (edit) Also thanks for the review of the Apothecary Diaries. I'll have to see if I can find it at the library.
And when Frieren decides to show us a bit of action, they remind us that this is MADHOUSE, and that blowing up your mind with animation is their favourite hobby.
Not just the action. The dance scene... even Stark putting on his jacket. They flexed all over this show. I remember when I watched the first time, and saw that jacket put on. I had to pause and go back a coupletimes. I couldne believe they put that much effort in such a small thing.
Very happy you're back! I was getting a little worried. If these past months have been rough of you sending you my honest prayers. You're amazing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Episode 3 of Apothecary Diaries was a slow burn but the pay off honestly made me cry when Mao Mao explains the pay off. It's one of the few times Show and Tell pay off Beautifully. Despite most of the episode being exposition for a one time pair of characters, the build up with the explanations of the first two episodes sets up the Princess's love story amazingly well. We know the Emperor has to be a greedy mofo when it comes to gathering women, however like Jinshi says the women are never touched unless by the Emperor. The Princess played the Emperor knowing he expects perfection but knowing anything less and he won't touch her for fear of any flaws passing onto his bloodline. And being trapped in the Rear Palace no man would touch her under his protection, after that it was a matter of waiting and continuing to be less then appealing to the Emperor. Meanwhile her childhood love is literally fighting through barbarian hell in a war to hope his accolades can be enough to get her out of the Rear palace playing by the rules. When you put all this together and seeing them together it creates this instant emotional connection quite possibly in the running for fastest character investment for characters who didn't even have lines of dialogue. Even if Mao Mao gives us the bare minimum explanation she still leads the audience to piece it together with what we learned about the Politics of the Rear Palace and what the Princess and the Warrior Overcame to be together. Making it one of my personal favorite episodes.
Apothecary Diaries; I'm surrounded by incompetence, but I must do what's right while trying not to draw needless attention. Frieren; Immortality sucks.
@@habiba-wp1hn It was just rough for me recently. Throughout June, I was Sick. Throughout July, I had to go on two trips to visit friends and work at my job that was open everyday during the Winter School Holidays. Working on a second video to catch up this month so stay tuned!
Question anime America I remember Sailor Uranus and Neptune are like really wired and creepy cousins, so in the original version there like not. Also what with the pretty gardens sailor moon it’s different for some reason. Please reply when you have time to. I’m I just remembering wrong or am I going crazy somehow or is my mommy that bad. Since I become a aunt now.
@@elizabethslama3326 In the Original Story, Uranus and Neptune are lovers. America wanted to release this for children, so they censored their relationship and made them cousins. As for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, are you referring to the live action show? Live action adaptations tend to change things up a bit, so they made the show more dramatic. It was honestly the studio wanting a different direction for the show and Naoko agreed to it.
Loved watching this before I head to bed, just have two things to say: 1. Ah yes, that scene with Mao Mao you highlighted made her one of my favourite characters in anime. It is, as I like to call it, "The Bitch Slap Heard Throughout The Entire Anime Community." It definitely deserved the recognition. 2. Frieren absolutely deserves the title for Best Anime of 2023, I can unashamedly say that it's in my top 3 alongside Fruits Basket & Fairy Tail and just make me a happy otaku. Random question that is Frieren related: what's your thoughts on the guy who helped stop that knife attack in a Taiwanese subway train earlier this year and when later asked about it said "It's something Himmel would've done"? It's always sucky when the entire community gets stigmatized due to the horrible actions of a few people, so seeing this incident blow up online made me smile.
I don't see how the guy STOPPING the knife attack quoting Himmel is a stigmatization of the community. He did the right thing. With or without "Freiren" guiding his morality. I don't see the problem here.
I love that at a time when so much attention is aimed at shows with epic animation and action sequences (which I love too, this is not a criticism), we can get something like Frieren where you can discuss what makes it amazing for 10-15 minutes, and never bring up the incredible animation, be it the demon fights, wizard duels, or the dance scene. On top of the beautiful scenery and still images. On top of loving it for all the reasons you stated, I think it's a favorite for me because it's a full package of a fresh idea with great animation, story, and voice acting. And it was a fantasy that's not an Isekai, lol.
I rank Apothecary Diaries over Frieren for one simple reason, I want to watch Apothecary Diaries again. I think that is why FMAB held the top spot on MAL for so long. It's far from my favorite anime and there are some aspects of the original FMA that I liked better, but I've rewatched it several times. I get that same sense from Apothecary Diaries, I want to rewatch it, Frieren was great and definitely at the top of the season, but I don't think it's going to pull people back in quite the same way.
For me it's the opposite. I have watched all the through Frieren 6 times and some episodes and moments way more. I haven't yet finished Apothecary diaries.
I'm liking the two anime reviews in one video ^^ I hope you do more of these ^^ As for these two anime, I'm definitely sold on them and I'm going to add them to my watchlist ^^ Great video as always ^^
Frieren is definitely a show that means something extra to an older audience that has something to look back on with regret in their own lives. In the same way that Anya from Spy X Family has something extra to offer adults who have kids of their own or nieces and nephews that they adore. Anya is one of the most real children in all of anime. And I think that FMAB fans who still watch anime, being 15 years older now (20 years older for the ones that watched the original FMA), are in that demographic.
Highly enjoyable video. And yes, I loved both anime. I found the pacing of Frieren beyond journeys end to be exactly what the anime required. Apothecary diaries, Mao Mao was both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in one. Highly enjoyable. Both series had strong characters. And great storylines. This video reminded me why I am subscribed.
As someone who’s read the Snow White with the Red Hair manga and the Apothecary Diaries light novels and loved both… no. They’re not even the same genre. They’re not even the same DEMOGRAPHIC. Snow White with the Red Hair is a shoujo that focuses on romance. Apothecary Diaries is a seinen (though I’d argue it’s a josei and is simply marketed as a seinen because of Square Enix) that focuses on mystery and worldbuilding/politics. The ONLY similarity between these two is a female protagonist with a job in medicine.
0:05 my version is when the data doesn’t want to go from my brain to the paper. I call it brain block 😭 you got all the scenes perfectly perfect in my brain but they won’t leave 😭
Here's a really nice detail for Frieren. Himmel is the Swedish word for sky. Also another connection between the two masterpieces. The Japanese VA for Frieren also voices Gyokuyô
Also Jinshi and Mao's relationship is too precious and must be protected at all costs. I have to watch it in dub as the sub is good, but I plan on rewatching in dub soon.
"Stop eating the poison" can also work for No Longer Allowed in Another World. Fun fact: Mallory (va of Frieren) and Clifford Chapin (va of Himmel) were both in the harem comedy Hensuki as the busty submissive and the MC, respectively.
Because the writer has thought about it. And actually it doesn't need much. Wonderful Animes, about Frieren i will buy anything from it, doesn't care the money xD
For whatever reason the man upstairs (The youtube algorithm) elected to recommend me a video from this channel from like 8 years ago and instantly got hit by a blast from the past Definitely cool that stuff is still being made for the channel and on some stuff I had my eyes on No real point to this comment, I just think that's cool and wanted to commend it
Rasputin being a healer makes sense on why the poison didn't work on him especially if his version of the practice was testing them out on himself as well
I couldnt get into the English dup of Apothecary Diaries. I loved Maomao's Japanese voice too much. Aoi Yuki is too lovely. As for Frieren I loved the dub actors for the main trio, Mallory Roddick as Frieren is perfect and I love anything Jill Harris does. But some of the side characters REALLY killed the dub for me. The standout bad dub actors for me were Ubel and Denken. Those two really dont fit in my opinion.
Question I am very confused now, there’s a new sailor moon series but isn’t sailor Uranus and Neptune wired and creepy cousin? Who are very close and won’t work with sailor moon, sailor mars, mercury and sailor Jupiter and venues, because they don’t want to destroy a little girl because she going to destroy the world? Please reply when you not busy with life I’m very confuse now
@@elizabethslama3326 you're thinking of Sailor Moon S from the 90's where both Uranus and Neptune were rude as hell and they were lovers in the Japanese version of the anime not cousins like in the American version
Both Frieren and Apothecary Diaries were just so fantastic. I almost feel sorry for Apothecary diaries. ANY other year, and it would easily be best anime of the year... but they got unlucky to be airing at the same time as one of the best shows (not just anime) Ive seen in years. After 1 episode, you could tell Frieren was something special... And every episode reenforced that. IMHO Its the best fantasy series we've gotten since Lord of the rings movies.
Both are gonna be great additions to my must-see list, Robyn!! Especially Frieren.... Being an old otaku myself, I do relate to this story too well. 😅 Sometimes, it takes a lifetime to live your life without regrets....lol (Hey, it's a good line!! Why not use it....) Anyway, thank you for the great reviews. I can honestly tell these two shows had a deep effect on you. Thank you for sharing. 🫡🍷 Oh...... You have anything anime-wise you're looking forward to 2025 yet?!? Just wondering......
Its interesting to me that Apothecary Diaries amd Frieren often are paired together as the best anime. I love Apothecary but i couldn't finish Frieren and by goodness i tried. The only thing i found interesting in Frieren was how demons were presented with them acting human but being completely incapable of human emotions
Today I watched some dude go around Japanese streets and ask which anime they preferred, Frieren or Mushoku. The latter won by a decent margin. It's gonna stay as is I fear.
One mistake. Maomao gave a notes to stop using the cosmetics to both concubines. She did not give the notice to just one of them. However one tossed the note and one read it which leads to who ultimately keeps their child alive sadly.
I don't think i have been scolded by an anime, but Apothecary Diaries did. The show told me not to draw conclusions based on assumptions, but i did. Like an idiot.
I was amused when Frieren said they would stay in the town for a few decades, and Fern immediately admonishes her and says they're not staying more than a week
I don't think you watch a ton of GL/Yuri or BL/Yaoi anime outside of the likes of Sailor Moon or Revolutionary Girl Utena except for the Anime Awards when you did them, but I was wondering if you could give a review of any of the following (if you haven't already and would like to at some point): I'm In Love With the Villainess, Bloom Into You, Whisper Me A Love Song, High Rise Invasion, Yuri on Ice, Magical Revolution, Vexations of a Shut-in Vampire Princess, to name a few.
I enjoyed both. I'm all in if the seiyuu Aoi Yuki voices any MC of any anime. Frieren is a superior alternate to a badly reviewed Rings of Power. Even Asmongold did a comparison of Frieren to a shitty written Galadriel.
The voice acting in the Apothecary Diaries dub drives me nuts. Very much in the school of lets make all English anime dubbers sound the same and annoying.
I greatly enjoyed both of these anime, although I think I prefer Maomao over Frieren, but not by a huge margin, the 2 could trade places easily, both series are just that good, that either or, could be on top.
Frieren = 1. Live live for that 1% chance, Mimics be damned.... and 2. if that doesn't work, trust your AK-Fernty-Seven Apothecary Diaries = CSI China x Game of Thrones Much win.

A double review of two popular anime that came out last year? This week keeps getting better and better
Moamoa's BlackCat mode and Frieren with the Mimic
And when Frieren decides to show us a bit of action, they remind us that this is MADHOUSE, and that blowing up your mind with animation is their favourite hobby.

Highly enjoyable video.
And yes, I loved both anime.

Apothecary diaries, Mao Mao was both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in one.
Highly enjoyable.
Both series had strong characters. And great storylines.

Hi robin! Love your content! Thanks For this! Yes they were the best! Frieren and maomao are best girls, like you❤❤❤❤❤
2:54 personally, i would've used the clip from _Dead Man's Chest,_ something like "Kay lay lam, lam piki piki, say-say...eunuchy. Snip snip." :P
Are you sure the Apothecary Diaries isn’t just a better Snow White with the Red Hair set in ancient China?
You know what, I never thought of it that way 😅 My wife and I love both so that makes a lot of sense
As someone who’s read the Snow White with the Red Hair manga and the Apothecary Diaries light novels and loved both… no. They’re not even the same genre. They’re not even the same DEMOGRAPHIC. Snow White with the Red Hair is a shoujo that focuses on romance. Apothecary Diaries is a seinen (though I’d argue it’s a josei and is simply marketed as a seinen because of Square Enix) that focuses on mystery and worldbuilding/politics. The ONLY similarity between these two is a female protagonist with a job in medicine.
Gonna be honest I shared your exact reaction when I saw frieren on MAL I was so happy that an anime I loved beat FMA alchemist.
I am the only person who love Gaoshun, he is such a great dude lol
I love the Corpse line you chose Robyn 😂

himmel the hero loved the anime america's reviews
Here's a really nice detail for Frieren. Himmel is the Swedish word for sky. Also another connection between the two masterpieces. The Japanese VA for Frieren also voices Gyokuyô
Oh, I can't wait!
Sad that you didn't mention the lakan arc. Favorite arc so far
Probably would have been too spoilery
Also Jinshi and Mao's relationship is too precious and must be protected at all costs. I have to watch it in dub as the sub is good, but I plan on rewatching in dub soon.
In the middle of watching frieren rn. Amazing so far.
Wanted to enjoy Frieren but unfortunately did not. I still enjoy your review and enthusiasm for what you like ⭐️
these are my 2 fave this time around too.
"Stop eating the poison" can also work for No Longer Allowed in Another World.
Fun fact: Mallory (va of Frieren) and Clifford Chapin (va of Himmel) were both in the harem comedy Hensuki as the busty submissive and the MC, respectively.
I just couldn't get into Frieren. I don't know, I just got bored? Apothecary Diaries sounds like it has potential though, may give that a watch!
You know it's popular if it gets memed ro hell and back
Wow two anime reviews in one video impressive
Because the writer has thought about it. And actually it doesn't need much. Wonderful Animes, about Frieren i will buy anything from it, doesn't care the money xD
Still currently watching Frieren and I enjoyed it
For us, it was an epic 10-year saga. For Frieren, it was just another Tuesday.
For whatever reason the man upstairs (The youtube algorithm) elected to recommend me a video from this channel from like 8 years ago and instantly got hit by a blast from the past
Definitely cool that stuff is still being made for the channel and on some stuff I had my eyes on
No real point to this comment, I just think that's cool and wanted to commend it
Why no epic Low-Tier-Elf moment? That's what Himmel the Hero would have added🤣
Rasputin being a healer makes sense on why the poison didn't work on him especially if his version of the practice was testing them out on himself as well
I always had the thought, for most media, for a great story it doesnt matter if the character is male or female.

I love how much fun the animators clearly had with the fight scenes. In the manga they're pretty basic but the anime goes hard on each and every one🎉
Frieren I love but would also punch it in the face for the feels. I don't want to cry from watching something but the show is so good.
Both Frieren and Apothecary Diaries were just so fantastic. I almost feel sorry for Apothecary diaries.

Show, don't tell, is the best approach because when something is told, it can get messed up or changed from what it was meant to be.

Both are gonna be great additions to my must-see list, Robyn!! Especially Frieren.... Being an old otaku myself, I do relate to this story too well. 😅 Sometimes, it takes a lifetime to live your life without regrets....lol (Hey, it's a good line!! Why not use it....)
Anyway, thank you for the great reviews. I can honestly tell these two shows had a deep effect on you. Thank you for sharing. 🫡🍷
Oh...... You have anything anime-wise you're looking forward to 2025 yet?!? Just wondering......
This is too good.
Got anything planned for Halloween 🎃 season?
inspirational!........ 😁
Its interesting to me that Apothecary Diaries amd Frieren often are paired together as the best anime. I love Apothecary but i couldn't finish Frieren and by goodness i tried.
The only thing i found interesting in Frieren was how demons were presented with them acting human but being completely incapable of human emotions
I am surprised nobody realizes how Kvar´s scene is one of the best of Frieren... In a show full of great moments.
Thank you Jack 😂
One of my biggest regret not watching Apothecary Diaries sooner is missing out on the comments.
Sweet!
Gonna be real Frieren and Delicious in Dungeon are the type of fantasy anime we need more of. I have no idea why the default is Isekai
Today I watched some dude go around Japanese streets and ask which anime they preferred, Frieren or Mushoku. The latter won by a decent margin. It's gonna stay as is I fear.
I loved the apothecary diaries
Also I thought you NEVER took the rating scores of MyAnimeList seriously Robyn 🤪
AYYYYE THE FLAME TEST STRIKES AGAIN!
0:20 Wait... That's Azumanga Dayoh?
One mistake. Maomao gave a notes to stop using the cosmetics to both concubines. She did not give the notice to just one of them. However one tossed the note and one read it which leads to who ultimately keeps their child alive sadly.
I don't think i have been scolded by an anime, but Apothecary Diaries did.
The show told me not to draw conclusions based on assumptions, but i did. Like an idiot.
Don't sleep on 'Quality Assurance in Another World' and 'The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant'.
I was amused when Frieren said they would stay in the town for a few decades, and Fern immediately admonishes her and says they're not staying more than a week
Me like me happy, thank you🥰
I don't think you watch a ton of GL/Yuri or BL/Yaoi anime outside of the likes of Sailor Moon or Revolutionary Girl Utena except for the Anime Awards when you did them, but I was wondering if you could give a review of any of the following (if you haven't already and would like to at some point):
I'm In Love With the Villainess, Bloom Into You, Whisper Me A Love Song, High Rise Invasion, Yuri on Ice, Magical Revolution, Vexations of a Shut-in Vampire Princess, to name a few.
There is a review for Yuri on Ice.
I enjoyed both. I'm all in if the seiyuu Aoi Yuki voices any MC of any anime. Frieren is a superior alternate to a badly reviewed Rings of Power. Even Asmongold did a comparison of Frieren to a shitty written Galadriel.
Thoughts on bluey being in actual money??
I love how the best three anime of last year were female led.
The voice acting in the Apothecary Diaries dub drives me nuts. Very much in the school of lets make all English anime dubbers sound the same and annoying.
whats about dungeon meshi, thats also has solid female characters
I greatly enjoyed both of these anime, although I think I prefer Maomao over Frieren, but not by a huge margin, the 2 could trade places easily, both series are just that good, that either or, could be on top.
So, how's that script looking now?
Mao mao is best girl
There is no a between beyond and journeys.😁
correction: not court eunuch but court "eunuch".
So special
Frieren = 1. Live live for that 1% chance, Mimics be damned.... and 2. if that doesn't work, trust your AK-Fernty-Seven
Apothecary Diaries = CSI China x Game of Thrones
Much win.
I would say that Vinland sage season 2 was better but both of them are still amazing just not the best of 2023
"Buddies Daddies" was the best anime of 2023 to me, personal.
I agree with you but all 3 of these were just amazing.
Cool
Now pore the tea was my downfall in trying not to laugh
