11:15 - 12:05 The Apothecary Diaries 13-14 The Apothecary Diaries
Plot Summary: The series is set in a fictional country modelled after Ming-era China. Maomao, a young girl who works as an apothecary in the red-light district,
is kidnapped and sold to the Imperial Palace as a servant. However, she
still retains her curious and eccentric personality and plans to work
there until her years of servitude are over, without drawing the
attention of anyone. One day, after hearing the rumors that the
emperor's children are critically ill, she begins to investigate the
cause, using her experience as a pharmacist, and successfully solves the
mystery of their illness. Even though she intends to remain anonymous,
her actions eventually catch the attention of an influential eunuch, and soon finds herself solving various mysteries in the royal court.

SOLO LEVELING
Plot Summary: In a world where hunters — human warriors who possess supernatural
abilities — must battle deadly monsters to protect mankind from certain
annihilation, a notoriously weak hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself
in a seemingly endless struggle for survival. One day, after narrowly
surviving an overwhelmingly powerful double dungeon that nearly wipes
out his entire party, a mysterious program called the System chooses him
as its sole player and in turn, gives him the extremely rare ability to
level up in strength and turn anyone he kills into a loyal minion
called a shadow. Jinwoo then sets out on a journey as he fights against
all kinds of enemies, both man and monster, to discover the secrets of
the dungeons and the true source of his powers.
2:20 - 2:45 Frieren 6
FRIEREN
Plot Summary: The story follows elven mage Frieren,
a former member of the party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King
and restored harmony to the world after a ten-year quest. In the past,
the heroic group included Frieren, human hero Himmel, dwarven warrior Eisen and human priest Heiter. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors together, a meteor shower
that occurs once in fifty years. Frieren agrees to see them again and
offers them a better view the next time the celestial event occurs.
Frieren then departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical
knowledge. Frieren returns to the capital fifty years later; however,
humanity has changed, and her former companions have distinctly aged.
After one last adventure to see the meteor shower, Himmel dies of old
age. During the funeral, Frieren expressed guilt for not attempting to
learn more about him. Frieren then pays a visit to her other former
comrades. She accepts an offer to teach and care for Fern, an orphaned
child adopted by Heiter. She also receives an invitation to travel far
north, to the resting place of souls, and see Himmel again to bid the
hero a fitting farewell and express her feelings. To fulfill those
requests, Frieren embarks on a journey together with Fern while still
pursuing her passion for learning magic. Frieren's elven nature grants her an extremely long lifespan,
causing her to view periods of years or decades as ephemeral (this
perception of time makes her consider the ten-year adventure with
Himmel's party a fleeting experience). The story thus takes place across
a long time, with periodic flashbacks accompanied by the physical and mental development of characters apart from Frieren herself.
2:45 - 4:45 PLUTO ep 3-4
Plot Summary: Pluto follows the Europol robot detective Gesicht in his attempts
to solve the case of a string of robot and human deaths around the
world where all the victims have objects shoved into or positioned by
their heads, imitating horns. The case becomes more puzzling when
evidence suggests a robot is responsible for the murders, which would
make it the first time a robot has killed a human in eight years. All
seven of the great robots of the world (the most scientifically advanced
which have the potential to become weapons of mass destruction) seem to
be the killer's targets, and the murdered humans are connected to
preserving the International Robot Laws which grant robots equal rights.
