Review of Drug Store in Another World: The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist

Even after watching everything, I still don't understand the purpose of this anime; it's EMPTY, with no objective, no explanations, no context. We are vaguely told that Reiji, the main character, comes from another world, and we are supposedly watching an Isekai, but it doesn't matter at all. This information is presented without any significance, and the animation is flat, lifeless, as are the backgrounds and characters. Personally, I found the character design visually appalling. The work focuses on Reiji's alchemist talents, so I would have found it relevant to show us in detail how he obtains the resources necessary for making his potions, demonstrate howhe prepares the potions, the use of ingredients, the techniques he employs, etc. BUT NO, even the central element of the work is rushed. Instead of all that, we are given a short sequence lasting a few seconds EVERY TIME, which is recycled on each occasion.

Even the humor is quite mediocre, typical of a poorly executed Isekai. In this work, Noela fulfills this function perfectly with her long tail; brace yourself for the most cliché jokes possible!

The work is completely disorganized, with no objective, and the core of the work is poorly exploited. The animation and backgrounds are not terrible, they are not very pleasant to watch; I found them devoid of emotion.

Musically, the opening and ending are not incredible but not bad either; I found them decent. However, there are no notable OSTs.

I do not recommend this anime. I went through it all because I don't like starting a work and not finishing it. I prefer to have seen everything to form an opinion. Although very few moments may have mildly captivated me, in my view, aside from the jokes about Noela, this anime is primarily aimed at a child audience that is not looking for depth, doesn't care about details or logic, but is content to be captivated by flashy colors and cute characters.
