As someone who has been captivated by the rich tapestry of stories woven from the annals of history since my formative years, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming second season of “The Apothecary Diaries.” Akinori Fudesaka stepping into the director’s chair is a bold move, but with his experience as an assistant in the first season, it feels like we are merely welcoming back a trusted friend to guide us through this intriguing journey.
As announced earlier, fresh details about the upcoming second season of “The Apothecary Diaries” emerged today, complete with a new teaser. While “The Apothecary Diaries” was not as widely anticipated as other popular series like “Jujutsu Kaisen” or “Demon Slayer,” which are usually household names in the Shonen Jump universe, it still managed to make a significant impact in 2023 among a dedicated fan base.
Revamping an engaging storyline with captivating visuals, the animated adaptation of Natsu Hyuga’s novel series struck a chord with viewers. The series truly earned its acclaim, as its plot is undeniably extraordinary. It’s refreshing to see animation that deviates slightly from mainstream norms gain popularity among the public.
The upcoming season of our show has officially been set to resume with 24 episodes, and its premiere is slated for January 10, 2025. It will air uninterrupted over two consecutive periods. Now, they’ve released the main trailer, offering a sneak peek at the fresh opening theme titled “Hyakka Ryoran” by Lilas Ikuta. Take a look:
The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Staff
For the upcoming season, Akinori Fudesaka will take over from Norihiro Naganuma as the lead director. This marks Fudesaka’s directorial debut, but given that he served as an assistant director during the initial season, the transition might not be too drastic.
Naganuma is currently serving as the head writer for the ongoing series, while Yukiko Nakatani takes care of character design, Katsumi Takao serves as art director, and Satoru Kousaki, Kevin Penkin, and Alisa Okehazama handle the music. Toho Animation Studio and OLM continue to oversee the series production. While OLM is known for popular franchises like Pokémon and Yo-kai Watch, they’ve also been working on diverse projects such as the recent series ODDTAXI.
The “Game of Thrones” Of Tang China
The tale unfolds within ancient Imperial China, during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Our heroine, Maomao, is a young woman who works at an apothecary shop situated in a bustling district known for its vibrant nightlife. Unexpectedly, she finds herself in the Imperial Palace after being purchased as a servant.
A short while after, she employs her apothecary abilities to unravel a puzzle surrounding the sickness of the emperor’s offspring and consorts. Subsequently, she is frequently sought for her expertise to resolve numerous mysteries (frequently linked to political intrigues) within the royal palace.
The Apothecary Diaries anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll, with subs and dubs in several languages. Square Enix (print) and J-Novel Club (digital) license the original novel in the US.
