2026 October: first half of season 32026 December: movie (anime original)2027 April: second half of seasons 3
>>283210153Any idea what the movie might be about?
>>283210153This girl has one of the ugliest hairstyles combined with a hideous shade of seaweed green. Oh, and freckles too. Disgusting.
>>283210184I'm trans btw if that matters.
>>283210153Hell yeah! Finally something to look forward to.Procreative, nakadashi vaginal sex with Maomao!>>283210169If it's Anime original I hope Xiaolan shows up.
>>283210153Fucking sweet. Curious season split though.
>>283210153PVhttps://youtu.be/g1pKfngmcAM
>>283210153Former LN slop reader here. How far did season 2 get anyway? Did the good part get adapted yet?
>>283210273Ended with the rebellion
>>283210273Loulan's clan getting butt fucked and shishui going to notJapan.
Post cat
>>283210410
>>283210255Now I wonder when the new OP will get announced.
>>283210153Sell me on this show /a/.
>>283210329>>283210375So the bulk of the good part is adapted then. Weird choice to keep going. I suppose there's still the choking incident.
>>283210553Chinese girl has a background with medicine and somehow solves cases like Sherlock Holmes
>>283210561Is there good enough fan service?
>>283210581I think you can see her naked upper back in an episode
>>283210581You'll have to IMAGINE
>>283210581She's flat as a board.
>>283210672>frogs are hard to draw, so I'll draw them as cylinders (no other meaning)Gets me every time.
>>283210672She's afraid of the frog
>>283210169
>>283210192No wonder you like an anime with a female protagonist
>>283210715Maomao is a certified semen demon.
>>283210169Boar original
>>283210755No, bad cat!
>>283210553apothecary in an ancient chinese whorehouse gets "recruited" to the emperors palace in the same way big boss "recruits" members of diamond dogs. Palace works out she's got more than 3 braincells so promotes her from slave to slave/food taster and she diversifies her portfolio by solving mysteries around the palace. Has a will they wont they relationship with the head eunnch who is the most hilarious fujo dream man you can imagine. As far as fujotrash goes it is actually very good, the first season is better than the second imo.
Your new main cast
>>283210827I don't like them.
>>283210255So... the movie will be a recap from the both anime seasons?
Why is every one is either the previous emperor's kid or grand kid?
>>283210561>>283210811Alright, will give it a try. Have Heard nothing but praise about it here.
>>283210931He took his job as cunny divider very seriously.
>>283210931the emperor fucks, a lot. this is a recurring storyline. he was also a heavily autistic lolicon, literally /ourguy/
>>283210553Fuck off we're full
>>283210931because this is the part of the imperial court where the emperors keep all their wives and lovers, and their offspring
>>283210153Where did you get this information from?
I miss Xiaolan
>>283210755Jinshi needs to impregnate herAnal is forbidden
>>283210931The story is set in the royal harem, after all.
>>283210553Teenage girl is snarter than everyone else put together, she's also secretly beautiful and has a mysterious background and the most eligible bachelor in the world is madly in love with her. Somehow, she's still likeable.
>>283211258You are a fucking retard and you know it.
>>283211193I miss my Chinese Neener too. I hope she shows up in the movie.
>snarter
>>283210811>fujotrashWhat? There's no yaoi in this whatsoever, it's completely heterosexual no matter how you slice it.
>>283210795
>>283210153Mid shit is back. Remember to enjoy yatagarasu instead. No SoL and Romance filler and shit
>>283212365I watch anime for sol and romance shit
>>283212208all the men are euunchs apart from tall dark handsome important soft and gentle but also a warrior when it comes to rescuing women (but still needing them) oh and he also is the only one with a penis. I get what you mean about yaoi but this is at the very least fujo adjacent.
>>283210169It will be 90 minutes depicting the sex between Maomao and Jinshi
>>283210169It's about Tamamo
>>283212405That's just joseimuke, fujoshit is specifically yaoi.
>no Frieren S03
>>283210553It is House M.D. for weebs.
>>283212845that depends on how high S2 will be ranked on mal before they decide to make S3
>>283210153very good
maomao upgrade
>>283210916no, its an original story.
i'd post music but this isn't 4+4.https://litter.catbox.moe/sxgg4asnlmvloo4v.flachttps://litter.catbox.moe/tfupwjgpdfwwkeqg.flac
>>283210153im not fluent but i don't think "kusuriya no hitorigoto" translates to apothecary diaries? Wouldn't it be something like drug maker talking to herself?
>>283213780ew go back
>>283214149yes but you can't exactly expect americans to know what a soliloquy is
>>283213780Disgusting.
>>283212488Don't tease me with a good time
>>283213780Maomao paizuri...
>>283213095That's a long flyswatter.
Guys I want to fuck Maomao so bad it's unreal. I bet if you hit the right spots she's a groaner.
>>283216442For u
>>283210153nicedidnt expect them to push out more material that quickly
>>283212845Not enough material for it.But maybe there will be soon.
>>283210169Hopefully it's fully focused on Xiaolan.
>>283217054Are you reading her manga?
>>283211309I wasn't being snide, it's actually a hard line to tread and the series handles it well.
>>283217182I have to get back to it.
>>283210553It's a Chinese palace drama in anime form.
>>283210153The Catcat ride truly never ends. I think she alone is reponsible for the apparent resurgence of pure shoujo anime like the Silent Witch.
>>283213708She's so fucking flat!
>>283210153Should I show this anime to my parents? They probably wouldn't get the anime humor
>>283218366are they based? do they give a fuck about a chinese setting? can they enjoy moe slice of life?
>>283218423No to all of the above, but they do enjoy palace intrigue
>>283218490They'll enjoy it. Just let them know how much you want Maomao to touch your frog.
>>283212405There are only like two existing (not even that popular) fujo ships in the fandom and both are still LN only.Shimao is much more popular than kusuriya fujoships
>>283210153Can't wait for the mouthrape.
So we're getting the scene where Jinshi prematurely cums just from MaoMao whispering in his ear adapted? Nice.
>>283219265>>283219394When in S3 can we expect this LNsisters?
>>283219394Can we get binaural ASMR audio
>>283210553Cute autistic girl in Imperial China
>>283210553Voiced by Aoi Yuuki.
>>283219394>>283221317Aoi Yuuki ASMR when? Would be cool to get Maomao ASMR.Or better yet since she is a shotacon how about shota pp JOI or teasing? I'd settle for that since we'll probably never get audio/footage from her shota sex dungeon.
>>283219265Best scene
>>283219394>*where Jinshi prematurely cums from Maomao tonguefucking him while being on top of himFTFY
>>283221650Shave me, Maomao!
I simply do not enjoy this manga or anime.The mysteries are boring,Mao mao is boring Mary stu.
>>283213780
>>283210273>>283210329>>283210375LN readers, without spoiling if you don't mind: is the implication here that we've already hit peak?
>>283210553maomao means cat in chinese(mandarin?)
>>283210672The average rate of change of only 1.43x seems low, no?Or is that the actual average?
>>283211030>the emperor fucks, a lotIt's literally each Emperor and the harem's job to produce heirs. Imperial baby factory basically.Although that one in particular was not doing his job correctly technically. But he was the Emperor...
I always believed maomao will return to meMy wife maomao is so cute
>>283219265The best... or worst part is that they will end the cour there and then animeonlies will have to wait for months to see how it continues. That's diabolical
>>283219555It'll be the finale of the first cour.
>>283210153
>>283213192Friend, I hate to tell you this, but if S2's pace matches S1's more or less when it comes to following the manga, there won't be enough even for 12 episodes of S3 given it's on indefinite hiatus and the current arc isn't close to even concluding. Welcome to the 2020's version of HxH.
>>283222733>>283222600So you're telling me that they expect me to have my dick in my hand for nearly 5 months?
>>283222937Will it be better than Korra?
>>283210153>anime originalWhen has that ever been a good sign?
>>283210169the adventures of shisui
loulan wonshisui lost
>>283221317
>>283210153>>283219265>>283219394>second half of seasons 3We're also going to get Jinshi punishing Maomao by tickle torturing her feet
>>283219265do women actually enjoy this?
>>283210811>Has a will they wont they relationship with the head eunuch>eunuchI think I can answer this one already sherlock
>>283225402Some minority of women perhaps.You can probably look it up.There have been lots of studies on the statistics of kinks.
>>283225402Women probably enjoy biting more
>>283210553Check out the OP: https://v.animethemes.moe/KusuriyaNoHitorigoto-OP1-NCBD1080.webm
>>283214149Its direct translation is "An Apothecary's Monologue/Soliloquy" but localizers are retarded and probably thought it was too flowery for the general audience, so diaries it is.
>>283210153She always look like she's stinking.
>>283223346>not being capable of holding an erection for 5 monthsngmi
>>283222937oh god shes getting stronger
>>283227044The moment Maomao stops playing so hard to get Jinshi's going to ravage her so hard. She porbably wont be able to walk straight for a week.
>>283227609That's right, she might have all that theory from the Verdigris house down, but she's not prepared for a fully grown and energetic FROG filled to the brim with vigor.
>>283221687What if she slips and castrates you instead
>>283228690See, that's why I wouldn't ask her to shave me, I'd just ask her to stroke my frog.
>>283227609you can't repost that
>show is most popular with women>it's actually popular on /a/you're all faggots.
>>283229073There are plenty of shows that grab at both audiences
>>283229073A lot of good stuff happens to cross demographic barriers.
>>283211218with maomao, it would have to be an anal pregnancy.
>>283224730this character SUCKED worst written motive ever that retroactively ruined the set up in the first season
>>283210153I hope the animation is better than the shit that was in Season 2, Cour 4.Shit was so bad it almost ruined the anime for me.Also, I hope the movie is about Xiaolan.
>>283229073I love how autistic Maomao is and I watch this anime solely for her, I imagine women do the same but for Jinshi and all the drama bullshit in each arc.
Show was best when Maomao was a poison taster
>>283210184no
>>283229073>you're supposed to dislike a show if (my personal enemy) likes it bro!How about I don't give a fuck?
>>283210153> Anime original movieWhy? There's enough LN story to last for the next fucking ten years, why make an original movie instead of even just making a movie of actual story contents at some point?
>>283229562Considering they're adapting 1 volume in 12 eps (very uncommon for LN adaptations but it's what they're doing) I don't think they would want to rush a whole volume in a short runtime, and having a movie ending abruptly in the middle of a volume would feel off, so... original story it is.
>>283229562>Series is popular>Manga adaptation (important for the anime) is slow>Next arcs aren't good for a movie>a non chronological adaptation is improbable, the series isn't monogatari
>>283229562Chances are they decided to skip some events in the original story that wouldn't do good in the anime format, and will use an original story as movie to tell the bits of information from the cut parts that are important for future arcs in a different way.
>>283222057>What a man ? Miserable pile of secrets....
>>283229073Why do women want to fuck Maomao? idgi
>>283229073Real men are not defined by what they like or don't like nor are they chained by the trappings of their gender. Just like how best girls (tomboys) can play ball, lift, like killer-AI dystopian mecha war dramas (86), or just be chill bros. Men too can enjoy a mystery with lots of thots, whores, sexo, preggos, BIG TITTIES, and maybe like 1:30 ratio of males with dicks to female ratio.
>>283229766Because they know Maomao can please them
>>283229664If they're waiting for Nekokurage to catch up, they'll have to wait for a long time
>>283227609>The moment Maomao stops playing so hard to get If we follow the LNs, the one getting raped soon is Jinshi
>>283229073Girl shows are just better
I miss her
>>28321016960 mins of Mao taking it in the ass.
>>283231988How many frogs can she fit in her ass?
>>283229073Uh, we're all girls here though.
Maomao's stinky farts
No.
>>283231849Me too, the show needed more Xiaolan.
>>283229664>Manga adaptation (important for the anime) is slowLiterally what did he mean by this?
Wait so Dungeon Meshi. Frieren and Apothecary diaries in 2026Fuck yeah! All i need is more Konosuba
>>283233617Based Aquachad.
>>283229698As a LN reader I can't see how they could do that
Nails
Maomao giving me head!
>>283234406
>>283211218Jinshi is castrated. He doesn't have any balls and he doesn't produce semen
>>283235814Mong
>>283229073>he still thinks 4chan is a moid site
>>283210169I would expect it to be a self contained, original mystery that is an excuse to use a bunch of characters that have already been introduced in the story but don't appear much from here on, sort of a final farewell to them since they won't be getting any work in the next season. I would also expect it to be heavy on the Maomao x Jinshi romance, because the story doesn't actually focus on that strongly or make much progress on it for quite a while, and this is a good excuse to slot in some fanservice there to appease people.
>>283231849>>283232661Xiaolan spinoff series about her life after she leaves the inner palace, cute girl doing cute things and looking for love and success. At some point in the story, she gets out of a bad situation because she remembers something important that Maomao told her, where she doesn't know WHY this trick works but she remembers Maomao saying that it does and she trusts that Maomao was right.
>>283210672But they are are not european
>>283210169Somewhat large frogs
>>283210169what are those tiny little balls in her hair, and how did she manage to her all that hair through such small holes
>most pic people posts are from S1Why
>>283222123pfft not even close, we are going into western namek for a while though
>>283210553asexual author writes her self-insert girl solving mysteries and somehow lucks out when her mother tells her to turn the comic relief character into an actual love interest
>>283233483A lot of the good parts of the visuals were inspired by the manga. In the second half of season 2 when the anime didn't have the benefit of the manga, it really showed.
>>283239514This isn't a problem for other LN anime adaptationsIs the production team incompetent or just lazy
>>283239718Kusuriya is like the last adaptation I would call "incompetent"
>>283229073Trust me or not /a/ is full of women and there is some right now lurking in this very thread/spoiler]
this anime had sovl, I enjoyed it
>>283239954Can you still say that when the source material is written by a woman?
>>283240108can male authors even write a good female main char?
>>283239718Each adaptation and studio is a different world, manga adaptations contributes a lot to the adaptation because it creates a previous work for anime pacing and adds weight to a series before the studio can butcher the material with its power. It'll depend on the studio (some of them have skilled screen directors and mangakas) others no, ToAru for example is a good example why a mangaka can be important to make a simple series adaptable, Railgun seasons are far better as anime than Index.Series like Mushoku, Honzuki, Mahouka, and Kusuriya aren't easily adaptable without reworking the dialogs and pacing, those LN that aren't simple scripts but a mix of monologues, explanations and dialogs with extension that is barely correlated with the "screen time". Shinsekai, Juuni Kouki and Tatami Galaxi were direct adaptations and a clusterfuck when it comes to pacing and dialogs. Meanwhile Monogatari was tolerable but it required a lot of work by SHAFT, that has excellent production and isn't the norm among studios. >there're studios that can do direct adaptations (SHAFT)>there're good anime with problematic adaptations (Tatami, Shinsekai, Juuni Kouki are both good and bad as adaptation)>there're bad anime due to bad adaptation of the LN (Juuni Kouki, Youjo Senki - but the 3 versions are different tho)And having a reference material fully adapted is important too, for the plot and the visuals, Jormungand adaptation was good because the studio had complete* manga as a reference instead of the early manga that was terrible.Having the correct mangaka is also important too, specially if a studio is gonna use the manga as a reference too, Tearmoon is a terrible adaptation of the novel, ToAru Index is bad too (regardless Kazuma retardation).Video Game adaptations and original series are a good example that having less material/more freedom in the adaptation is usually bad.
>>283240108Many of your favorite anime were written by women, dummy.
will HANA NI NATTE ever be topped?
>>283210553It's House M.D. Chinese addition.
>>283240638>Hao-Xhu M.D. (medicinal dicks)
>>283240638>Its a Lupus episode
>>283239892>spoilerI don't believe you. Proof?
>>283241279I'm met some. They like baki and jujutsu kaisen for some reason. You'd be surprised how much of them exists.
>>283210153how the fuck? yeah ok, season 1 was pretty but nothing happened. she literally just exists
>>283240638*chinese edition with cute girl
>>283242176>nothing happenedyeah brah they weren't fightin and throwing kamehamehas this means nuthing happen'
>>283241330understandable, im sure some of them got sick of the nigger-fetishism from (((western media))) over the last decade, and gravitated towards anime as a result.
>>283221650does this confirm that maomao shaves her pubes
>>283242707It's pretty explicit in the LN, the influence of Verdigris on her hygiene>completely shaved>daily baths>general knowledge about related things
>>283242250hate fucking elitists like yousaw someone saying one piece is actually paced well but kids dont wanna see anything other than pure actiongo fuck yourself man
>Next season
>>283224730did the emperor ever, you know
>>283242918Canonically yes, and she took an abortive drug to make sure there would be no child.
Apparently Chapter 82.1 is out.>>283242840Lahan's Brother when
I looked up some information and pictures of chinese eunuchs and now I wish I could unsee that
>>283243365Second cour
I loved Season 1 but Season 2 feels so damn stagnant and boring
>>283229073Wait anon... you're not a disgusting, stinky man are you? Didn't you know that /a/ and anime are for girls only?
They should skip to Western Capital(version 2.0)so we have Chue and Lahan's brother
>>283243946This. Season 2, especially it's 2nd Cour, is by far the worst. Almost made me drop.
LN4(WN arc 3) shouldn't have been rewritten.
>>283245180TL;DR?
>>283210672Maomao fears the frog
>>283217182>>283217614Just caught up to the manga. Why are there only 6 chapters out???
>>283245656Basically originally LN3 and LN4 (so all the second season) were only one arc in the webnovel, that derived from the original ending of the WN draft.The OG draft isn't really important for this discourse, but it was to say that this arc was the most rewritten.A lot of fluff was added with the whole Shisui and Xiaolan scenes(Shisui is more of a grey character), also, Maomao gets actually kidnapped while she can't fight back(had a bad allergic reaction for a plan she and Gaoshun made), so there's no village fluff.There's an almost SA scene, that got swapped with the snake pit and the main difference is that Shisui dies at the end of the arc.So the whole arc is less stretched out, and some more "serious" scenes were swapped with gags, for a broader appeal.But the main thing is that fluff was added(and not the Jinmao one), Shisui ended up alive even if she basically has no impact in the future plot. Basically a big LN volume was split in two volumes, so they had to add all the filler.Also, related to Lakan's character, Fengxian (Maomom) died while he was away, so there's no Lakan and Shishou meeting(that whole part is comprised in Maomao and Gaoshun's great plan, that ended up with Maomao voluntarily going into anaphylaxis, to trick Lakan)Arc 4 and 5 were also rewritten but less.
