The Apothecary Diaries anime is coming to Netflix, but with a huge asterisk

The Apothecary Diaries is one of the anime series that has been most successful in recent years. Its mix of palace drama with slice of life has captivated audiences like few series have in a long time. Something that has managed to give it an appeal that has, in many cases, gone beyond the anime fanbase. Which could grow even more once it arrives on Netflix.

A rather peculiar format

But it won’t do so in the format we know. With two seasons under its belt, Netflix has confirmed that it will release The Apothecary Diaries as compilation specials. What does that mean? That they won’t be the full episodes, but rather a summary of each of the arcs so far so viewers can catch up and follow the story in a simpler, more streamlined way.

The release of The Apothecary Diaries will also be staggered. The first, the Inner Palace Arc, premiered on Netflix on October 30, and will be followed by the Outer Court Arc on November 13 and the Court Arc on November 27. Together, these cover everything we’ve seen in the anime so far.

Anyone who wants to watch the full series will have to turn to another streaming service. Because The Apothecary Diaries anime is available on Crunchyroll. Although it has less reach than Netflix, being the go-to anime platform, anyone intrigued by this new Netflix version should check out the full series on Crunchyroll. Especially with the anime’s first film, The Apothecary Diaries: The Late Lady’s Treasure, and a third season, set to arrive at some point in the near future.
