This is a nice breath of fresh air.
A relaxing story that keeps you interested.
Logy is nice to look at, so that's a plus as well.
With all the girls around, you'd expect this to be harem, but it's not.
Surprisingly, it's a regular fantasy anime ^^
It was fun to see different races in it too.
Escha is sweet as well.
Nothing big was happening, yet the simplicity of things kept me interested.
This reminds me of some Japanese RPG games for Wii that I used to play.
Think I'm gonna watch this anime.

I am more concern on how the manage to create exact shape of gear the need simply by putting random stuff in and wait until it finished.

then again one can assume the entire windmill i built from alchemy to start with

It reminds me of Minecraft.

You have to wonder how it works, but it works.

I agree. I like the visuals and the atmosphere, and the characters are all likeable.
Escha is obviously a 'genki' girl, but her VA takes it too far, and makes her sound hyper to a degree that's hard to take.

The concept, as simple as that, is that they were given the recipe. Following that, Escha could easily reproduce the requested item(s). As long as there's a recipe, everything is possibile in the Atelier word.

Anyway, while in the anime items took 30-60 minutes to be created, in the game it's much longer. Each synthesis takes at least one day, complicated items may even need 1 week. This considering that in the game, time is usually a key factor (to say the truth, more in the previous Atelier games than in this one).

If there's no recipe, no dice (and no windmill).

Both Escha and Logy's anime dub was perfectly faithful to the game counterpart. Murakawa Rie must be a genki person in real life too.
Once finished the game, you have access to a message from each of the seiyuu who participated. While everyone's message, among which the big names (Seto Asami, Koshimizu Ami, Ueda Kana) is around 30 sec - 1 min, Logy's is 2 minutes but clearly forced because he doesn't know what to say, Escha's message is something like 10 minutes.. of pure genkiness.

The way Escha just adds stuff into the cauldron and result in an apple tart and that machinery gear were hilarious to watch.

jeroz · 2014-04-13, 08:24

and that "Ding"

Dengar · 2014-04-13, 09:28

That alchemy is so uber nonsensical. And so amusing.

SaintessHeart · 2014-04-13, 10:24

Speaking of which, can I have an avatar which Escha is wiggling her raccoon tail?

Dop · 2014-04-13, 11:41

I know nothing of the game so I'm taking this purely on face value, and I didn't dislike it.
I liked 'Clone's slightly machine-like speech patterns (and have always been a sucker for a good "ara ara"), and the general atmosphere.

I do wonder if they clean out that cauldron between making machine parts and apple tarts. The "Ding!" when the cauldron was done was genius.

Could be fun.

MeoTwister5 · 2014-04-13, 11:59

I played all of Gust's alchemy games on the PS2 though sadly none of the PS3. I was actually sort of hoping for a more serious atelier game to be made into an anime but this one works just about well enough.

FlavoryFantasy · 2014-04-13, 12:21

Definitely think I'm going to buy the game to play sometime later. Though I still need to complete Arland series

Spoiler for minor fact, not important for the story:

Somehow I'm not surprised by this explanation. It's...fitting. I wonder how often she brushes it.

the thing is the manage to find recipe of gear which make me wonder if there is recipes to create entire mechanism of the windmill itself

Master_Yoma · 2014-04-13, 21:01

Must say this one nice but there got to be a easier way to make apple tart

The Green One · 2014-04-13, 21:05

Yes, but can cooking create the plate and silverwear to go with the apple tart? Nope.

This is just really basic alchemy anyway. Well for this series it is.

erneiz_hyde · 2014-04-13, 22:47

hmmmm, nice beautiful.

Although I've played Arland series I haven't played this yet, and after weighing it, I decided to just watch it now since I'll probably not play the game for a long time. Lots of homage to the familiar game system in here.

Btw, how they mention Escha's family without the males and how they're all alchemist, it makes me imagine if they're actually reproducing without the help of men

jeroz · 2014-04-13, 23:02

Her father actually made an appearance in this episode though apparently

He's just as noticable in the game.

Anh_Minh · 2014-04-14, 01:46

You can really see the RPG roots in the combat and alchemy...

How did they ever make a cauldron big enough?

And where did they find the mother of all cauldrons to make smaller cauldrons?

Dengar · 2014-04-14, 05:22

Well you have to realise that alchemy is like magic.

Like magic though. Alchemists actually tend to not believe in actual magic. XD

Anyway, one thing that I haven't pointed out yet, but the blatant ship teasing between our title characters is even more blatant than it was in the game.
