If there's one thing that The Apothecary Diaries taught us, it's that there's a very good portion of anime fans who are willing to get lost in stories that feel wholesome while also bringing something new to the world of animated series.

Produced by Olm, the studio behind The Apothecary Diaries, this adaptation aims to bring Sam’s story of gaming, anxiety, and complicated romance to a much larger audience.

Originally announced at New York Comic Con in 2023,Let’s Play has been one of Webtoon’s standout hits since its debut in 2016, amassing millions of readers across three seasons.

Speaking to Anime News Network, director Ozaki recalled how reading the original Your Forma light novel series brought him right back to his comfort zone in terms of similar sci-fi stories. "When I first started reading Your Forma, I thought of typical cyberpunk stories like Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, and The Matrix—I was thinking of cyberpunk movies from the '80s and '90s," Ozaki said. "As I read on in the novel, other works came to mind. There is a TV series called Westworld, which is all about what it means to be human," he added, before also referencing iconic films such as Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days and 2006's French animated tech-noir thriller - Renaissance.

A prolific and multifaceted medium that has been steadily going global with its appeal, anime has an affinity to venture into all kinds of narratives, from endlessly engrossing action flicks to somber and profound meditations on the human condition. Within anime's many-sided catalog of unorthodox stories, some may stumble upon films and series that touch them on a level beyond appealing to baseline entertainment.

These anime titles — some of which are known for being thought-provoking, while others may surprise the viewers with their subtle ability to make an impact — can become a life-altering experience, making audiences reflect on their values, attitudes, and existential notions. Like all forms of earnest artistic expression, anime has the power to change one's understanding of the world and put into perspective views they perceive as obsolete.

Some of the longest-running conversations in the fandom center on ranking the strongest anime characters, or who would win in a fight. These debates are likely to go on for as long as new anime air every season. Anime can tell a broad range of stories, and the nature of animation allows anime to tackle just about every genre of fiction, from slice-of-life to sci-fi. However, combat-focused anime (usually in the shonen category) tends to be some of the most popular and commercially successful anime around.

With so much combat in anime, it’s no surprise that debates about which character is stronger than another are a staple of the fandom.
