[Episode] Chinese Dude Nitpicks The Apothecary Diaries | Video Essay
🕑 Added 2025-08-29 14:43:45 +0000 UTCAfter the heavy topic of our last video, let's do something silly and relaxing. Let's watch The Apothecary Diaries together, and let me point out as many Chinese details as possible. We'll cover everything from clothing styles to architectural decorations. It'll be as exhaustive as time allows.
Did I say relaxing? I mean relaxing for me. This might be irritatingly pedantic for you.

By the time the third "look silly for the new few hundred years" dropped, I was ready for it. Rule of Three! Great video, and it's amazing how hard Toho's animation studio went on all the details in the show.
