Random thoughts after rewatching The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 6
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 6 twice. From this episode, things got complicated and interesting. I wondered in the previous episode why Lady Lishu wore a different color from her ladies-in-waiting — dark pink, while they wore white. But Maomao mentioned it, though there was no answer for that, so we may be able to figure it out later. I wonder how many hairpins each person has. Lihaku had many of them, so there was no limit, but I don't think someone like Lihua gave them to many random people. And also, why did Lihaku want to give them to that many people? I forgot.

Random thoughts after rewatching The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 5
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 5 twice. When I first watched it, I didn't fully understand what was happening. I don't understand but somehow matsutake mushrooms were rare and hard to eat. And they ate them just grilled with some salt, and they were so satisfied with them. Are they really that tasty? Also, for people who lacked knowledge of chemistry or any education, it might've been natural that a fire changing color was a scary thing. That said, I didn't get how they sent secret messages with them. Anyhow, that will be figured out somehow in a future episode, and I don't remember this wooden tablet stuff.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 5
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 5 twice. 8/10. It seemed like this episode was meant to wrap up what happened after Rudeus came back to his mansion from the labyrinth. Elinalise settled down with Cliff, instead of staying an adventurer. Cliff is a member of the Milis Church, but I don't think she is. I forgot about it, but she has a curse. How can she deal with it?

Random thoughts after rewatching The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 4
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 4 twice. 8/10. This story was about curing Lady Lihua. The Emperor asked Maomao to cure Lady Lihua, and he said she was a famous apothecary. But until episode 3, Maomao mostly communicated with only a few people: Lady Gyokuyou, Jinshi, Gaoshun, and the quack doctor. So, he had likely heard about Maomao from both Gyokuyou and Jinshi? That means Jinshi was definitely close to him. When Maomao talked to the Emperor, she was trying not to look at him. When she tested food for poison, she always looked down, or looked to the side instead of looking straight ahead, and she even closed her eyes. So, it's obvious that, culturally, most people weren't allowed to look at the Emperor's face directly.

Random thoughts after rewatching Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 3
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 3 twice. 7/10. This was a sleepwalking lady's story. OK, I didn't notice at first, but Jinshi got a letter from the military officer, so he suspected Concubine Fuyou had lied. And that was the reason he wasn't convinced by Maomao's suggestion. So, he wanted to make sure and tried to work out what kind of person Maomao was.

Random thoughts after rewatching Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 2
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 2 twice. 6/10. Maomao was too smart when she figured out the issue. Honestly, there could've been a lot of reasons why people could've been poisoned, not only the smoke from the firewood. Or maybe actually not? It actually sounds weird that many people fell ill after they ate something, so the poison must have spread easily, and it must have happened while or right after they ate dinner at the camp. Also, they had nausea and other symptoms that were able to help her figure it out. And it happened at night, so that might've been another reason why she was able to figure it out. Well, she said it was just her own opinion.

Random thoughts after rewatching Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 1
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 1 twice. 7/10. I watched it until the middle of season 2, but this was a complex story so I wanted to start again from the beginning and understand it better. First of all, the voice actress for Maomao, Aoi Yuki, was so good. How she speaks changes so much with her emotions, even in normal scenes. It showed Maomao's character, too.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 4
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 4 twice. 7/10. New things started slowly, as this series always does. Geese and Talhand left the place because they were adventurers. I forgot but Roxy was in a party with them so she was also kind to them. And it seems Elinalise would have a wedding with Cliff too, and maybe she was also going to settle there?

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 3
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 3 twice. 7/10. This episode was from Rudeus's point of view, and it picked up after the last episode of season 2. This episode was about a regular, peaceful life. Nothing exciting. Just a normal day as ever. It was funny, and I was relieved, that he still called Roxy his Deity. I thought he stopped at the end of season 2, but he still treated her as his master and his Deity. That was the first word I'd heard from him this season.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 2
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 2 twice. 7/10. This episode was again from the point of view of Eris, or rather, Nina. It seemed Nina spent her whole life on swords, and I guess because of that, she hated losing to Eris. She even tried to find and meet Rudeus because she didn't want to admit he was real, or because she somehow thought she could've beaten him. But after seeing him, it looked like she changed her mind, and her opinion of Eris changed a little. Probably because he was so exceptional and she couldn't imagine even Eris catching up with him. So she might've felt Eris's goal was impossible and the hurdle was too high. It also showed how she and the other members of the Sword God Style didn't know the outside world.
