THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Seems they went with an episode that served more as an overview for Reiji's life in that world. Oh and of course, his encounter with Noera...

A fitting finale I guess when they also threw in a party at the same time. Nothing really dramatic for the finale but since this is a very lightherated anime, it's not a problem.

We're finally back at the very beginning of Reiji Kirio's life, reminiscing his past while in tandem with preparing for Elaine's party. Well, just a lil' bit...

Reiji's backstory of magically getting Isekai-ed into the fantasy world with his potion-making ability, and saving this wolf on the verge of death with the potion concoction, it's the start of the journey of him and Noela.

Everyone is just busting through the doors of the Kirio Drugstore, from Ejil's fascination of Noela, to Doz and Moz wanting to make Annabelle pretty through the usual potion-making contraption to temporarily hold Doz's drunken state for a day. Mina got a "lucky pervert" moment though while Reiji prepares the best man's suit. The first time that Reiji and the others learn of Ejil's servant's (Belial) relentless efforts to fetch him back to his Demon Lord quarters. Everyone loves Reiji.

It's quite the exquisite party for all the characters gathered together in their suits and dresses...and Reiji aceing a harem is the LAST thing I wanted to see (as he's already had his own through the girls). Have fun y'all.

But otherwise, this is a rather OK decent show that truly sinks in the "Slow Life" aspect of an Isekai that's getting popular with more future works getting anime adaptations of the same thing.

So... this was the episode mainly about Reiji's backstory and how he got in this world in the first place and we also how he met his companions in this world. Putting all that aside, it was all cute and fine but got repetitive for me very quickly. (Well, it was... duh)

Not complaining, just saying. That doesn't mean, it was bad or anything. It was fine for what it was. An average Isekai with an average story and pretty average characters. Not anything special.

Genuinely if you wasn't told this was an isekai, you wouldn't even know. They kept the "origin" story for the very end.

Anyway very relaxing Isekai, characters were goofy and likeable (except that demon lord brat, what a nuisance, ugh). The show was nothing spectacular, but it delivered what i was expecting from it ... and it also taught me that on every problem there is, all you need is a potion to counter it.

Paula spin-off when ?

A party for the ending and we even saw a bit of when MC arrived to the isekai world (basically the true beginning)... I hated this isekai/slice of life, probably my least favorite slice of life ever, even the animation couldn't save it since it looked so bad.

Pooor Ejil. lmao... At least, he still got Noela plushie with him. Annabelle in a red dress was very beautiful.

Well, what will be memorable for this series are Noela's woooofff! and that medicine-making dance from almost every single episode. All of Reiji's medicines were made from chopped cabbage and fried rice.

An isekai with a backstory in the end? Well, that's one way to do it.
Most of the episode went to his backstory and the way he isekai'd was way too normal but isekai is isekai.

It was a pretty relaxing but forgettable anime. The cast was pretty cute (Noella, Mina, Paula, Vivi and the other girl) but some of them were mad annoying. The animation wasn't any good either. Even for a SOL anime it was just not good enough. Oh and did someone notice how his suit changed into his normal outfit? Direction at it best LOL. The OP and ED were good. Going to add them to my playlist for sure.

5/10.

The illustration in the end was a masterpiece of art.

Yeah seriously, yeah it wasn't some big drama show but I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and watching every week. Just a fun show to sit back and enjoy without any bad things happening to any of the characters. Unfortunately I am not expecting a S2 to get made but I really hope so, I need to see some more Mixing segments lol

The finale of isekai drugstore. Whilst it wasn’t the best show in the world (it wasn’t trying to be anyways) I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m a big fan of slow life manga and anime in general and it was nice to watch this every week and look forward to it on Wednesday. Will miss it.

This anime was nothing special. Even the first meeting with Noela was very "quick" and "easy". I was expecting more...

The cute character and voice acting make this anime watchable but I don't know how it can works in LN format... There is no tension, barely anything is funny and while there is some nice scene from time to time, nothing stands out.

PS : I'm still wondering what the heck Noela and Mina are supposed to be doing during the "alchemy sequence".

Party prep, Reiji's past, and the party itself to end what was a perfectly fine little show. Nothing great, nothing particularly memorable, but charming enough in its own way. Does anyone remember that show Time Travel Girl from a few years back? The one about the girl who met various historical figures like Ben Franklin? I ask only to mention that purely from a look/artstyle perspective this series really reminded me of that one. You know, I remember reading on some anime forum during this show's run that its target audience was Japanese salarymen looking to relax and unwind with it after a hard day's work. Who knows if that random comment I read was accurate, but seeing Reiji's past as one of those salarymen here certainly made me think it might have at least some validity to it.

What I found kinda cute about this was the almost cheap feel it had. Reusing that animation of Reiji making medicine with the four fairies in the corners while various other cuts of Noela and Mina doing stuff were put in, and every episode ending with them closing the shop I mean. If every anime did stuff like that I suspect I'd grow tired of it, perhaps even annoyed, but here I honestly found it a bit charming, though I can't quite put into words why. And did this episode confirm Reiji can actually see the fairies and read their billboards? Boy what a reveal if so lol, but it was probably just a gag. If I had a serious complaint I guess I did find Reiji kind of unlikable at times, a bit of a hardass, but it wasn't often enough to make a difference score-wise honestly. The rest of the cast was fine, Reiji too for the most part honestly. My boy Ejil got done dirty though, he was my favorite character if I had one. But anyway to conclude yeah, this was okay, fine, acceptable, etc. Solid 6/10

As you can see by my average score I enjoy pretty much everything but this was just ass. Nothing really happens. Obviously it’s a feel good type of show, but didn’t do much of that either. The stock animation of the MC shaking shit up in the lab with that cringe music annoyed me too.

Ah see I actually was annoyed at first and then I liked it. But if I stayed not liking it I can see it get annoying. I wish the next Anime's started this week and not October I really want to start new stuff. I am watching stuff that was like bottom tier of what I figured might be okay right now and it's disappointing. I really can't wait for Demon Slayer, JJK movie, My Hero Movie, and Mushoku Tensei. Also two shows I really liked got delayed until 2022 😩

It finally came to an end this show is this show was very cute and cute with the very environment they are in and sometimes the same thing in each episode gets tired but this isekai and very different didn't explain much how the hell Kirio was in this world to be he died or no more and a very average 6/10 show.

Okay, the episode closed with a nice little party at Elaine little house. The preparation making Reiji-sama remembering his dark time at his previous lifes. Well, a little should be end and, yeah, everyone sure love Reiji-sama. The medicine god, The demon king, The alchemist, Master, and many other title. All hail Reiji-sama!

A bit of underwhelming for the wholesome isekai lifes honestly. There's some part where its just left with an emptiness. The story of the fall-in-love elf also didn't complete, and look at her reaction at the party. They really need to put more coherency, from one part to another, and i don't even see the point of why Reiji got the power of those medicine making, but, yeah, that's it. The slow life everyone loves to get. Then one more thing, they really need to stop putting Eijil into that poor state. Kid got the greatest title ever in power-fantasy, but look at him, couldn't even enter the human party :(.

That's being said. Even though i can't lied that there's a lot of cuteness every bits everywhere, but as an overall this is quite an underwhelming for the wholesome iyashikei isekai standard of mine. I put this on my fine list.

Great episode. So wholesome.

So here we learnt a bit more about Reiji Kirio's past in Japan, it was a hard life as for most workers. He finally got free from it and had a new start suddenly in a random day, and his first friend was Noela. He also found new plants that he had never known before.

Moz and Doz went to Reiji's place in order to get a potion that would make the second more tolerant to drinking, in order to impress Anabella at a party that had as host Elaine's parents. And the invitations were given by her to her friends, and also told by Paula. Ejil also got one but forgot the time to show there later...

Then we got to the party part, and it was very formal. Reiji was dressed very well in Mina's father suit, and I also liked the tie. Finally we got Kururu and Ririka (especially her... I was waiting so much for her appearance), and her brother made a charming presntation. Reiji also got very famous with the ladies for his works at town xD and his potion for Doz seemed to work well.

I just missed Vivi, she could have shown here at the last episode. But overall I liked this conclusion. I hope there will be a second season soon.

Well I thought the backstory was gonna be a bit more longer than that, but I guess that's okay

I liked this anime, maybe maybe a bit more than some of the other seasonals though it did take some time to get used to. Reiji actually carries this anime, but the rest of the cast is nice too.

Honestly this felt like a kids show to me, but that just makes it more lighthearted and 'slow.' Good to see it.

Nice voice-over for the medicine-making scene; good ending, good anime.

Meh ending

Kind of wish they spent more time about Reiji's isekai origin. Also, is the show implying that he wasn't a pharmacist in his past life? Because he sure didn't look like a pharmacist.

Apparently the director really loves that stupid drug making jingle, because he felt the need to end the show with it. I guess he wanted to play it one last time, just in case we missed it the other 20 times it was played during this show.

Cute show, but not something I'd recommend to people.

Super fun final episode, we finally got to see Reiji’s past life and how he got reincarnated (kinda lol) as well as how he first met Noela, which was a very nice moment. The episode finished off with the party and it was pretty snazzy, everyone dressed up and such, loved seeing all the girls in their party dresses as well as Reiji in his fancy suit. It was a nice way to end of this great show. Also love how they did the dance one last time after the ED.

I’m so sad this super sweet show is over, I know this is an unpopular opinion, but this was definitely one of my favorite shows this season. It did exactly what I wanted, it was a nice wholesome relaxing anime all the way through, I loved all the characters and seeing how Reiji helped them with each new medicine, and I especially loved Noela and her cuteness, she’s definitely an unforgettable character.

I guess you could say this was one of those shows that was made for me, I know it’s probably objectively a 5 or a 6, but I personally found a lot of enjoyment in this and it filled the hole Slime 300 left last season perfectly, so I don’t mind giving this show the big 9! I know it’s unlikely, but I’d love a Season 2, really gonna miss this one.

What a nice way to end the series with a party.

Glad Reiji is living a good happy life way better than his old world did. He surely is popular with the girls. Would've been nice to see all the girls he interacted got the chance to dance with him. Its nice to see elf girl once again sucks her views where very limited

It was a fun and relaxing SoL anime to watch. Ejil was annoying at times but it was funny that he got left out from the party.

Watching the last episode makes me wanna cry 😭 This anime never fails to make me smile every episode. Thanks for the happy memories. I'm gonna miss this 😔

Mina looked great in her dress but the one that really surprised me was Anabelle.

We finally saw Reiji's backstory and although it was shorter than I expected, I think at this point it's enough.

The final closing time showing all the characters, followed by that last special potion-making montage were right in the feels :'(

Man, I can't believe how much I ended up enjoying this show when I was originally planning to drop it. Pretty fun and relaxing show to watch weekly. One last thing I have to admit is that the potion making montages had their charm xD.

Sigh. I thought he would have at least been a pharmacist before he was isekai'd, but no they just kinda made him wake up and have the skills. Like if he had been a forager as a hobby before he was isekai'd or something then that would have been cool, but nah. Just... boom: sudden medicine making skill. We just get the same old shitty salaryman life scenario. Come on. We really could have used something that linked to something he liked in the previous world to something in the new world. There really was no reason to include the isekai part of the story at all. It might have even worked better without that aspect.

The characters were annoying and if they weren't annoying they went out of their way to make them annoying. What was even the point of Belial finding Ejil when it lead to pretty much nothing. We had so much build up, and then...?? Nothing. Just more Ejil abuse. It really just isn't fun to always see a character treated like that. It's not like Ejil was THAT awful. He had room to grow and everything, but they just continued to treat him like a trashcan without laying off of him even at the end. I can see if he was actually a terrible person with absolutely no chance for redemption, but that was just sad. Awful.

So much of this anime just made me feel bad, to be honest. It probably wasn't even intentional on their part, but gosh it was just hard to watch. I hoped SO MUCH that they'd turn it around by the end-- because sometimes they would have moments where it seemed like all my gripes could be addressed. And then they'd just keep doing the problem.

I really love how light-hearted this series is. Every episode is entertaining! 8-9/10, imo this is too underrated.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
