This is yet another profession based isekai anime. If it wasn't clear by the title, it's about Pharmacology. The colorful style and smiling characters means it's also one of the mindless shows designed for children, devoid of any real suspense, plot, conflict, or grander design. If it wasn't for the stellar animation and some flashy spells, it would be ridiculously boring, all of which are wasted on a highly uneventful show. There is a random villain they throw in at the end so they can tick off that box, and he is immediately eliminated after a few lines. Otherwise, it's just smooth, perfect sailing for a former pharmacist who reincarnates into a medieval fantasy world and opens up a pharmacy to bring the world out of the dark ages. He has both wealth and status, born into a family of prestigious pharmacists that even treat royalty. The queen is already indebted to him by the third episode. If it sounds really boring to you, your expectations aren't far from the truth. The main character even gets god-like powers to harness all the elements and synthesize any drug he wishes from the very beginning, and a magical x-ray eye that can see both physical ailments and diseases. It's so ridiculously easy for him. There is a pretense of some science and natural principles involved, but they dispense with it quickly as this veritable embodiment of a god of healing conjures up magical pills from thin air, flies on a broom, creates cataclysmic natural events, and heals injuries like jesus does with his hands. Unlike Dr. Stone, you won't be learning any useful chemistry or technical knowledge. Yes, the black plague was caused by fleas from rodents carried by ships, and that's about all you will learn. The show is just another low effort quickly manufactured anime for the season. It's very innocuous and benign. Great for kids I guess. It's Pokemon level intelligence with some drug names thrown in as a facade. The only thing really worthwhile is the father, who is hot. Maybe you would think there would be some allusions to the current real world pandemic. Absolutely none. Keep it as risk free and bland as possible.
