Synopsis

From her hometown to her daily life on Kurken Island, everything surrounding Reisalin "Ryza" Stout is painfully ordinary. Despite being the daughter of a hardworking farmer, she would rather go on pretend adventures as she explores almost every corner of the island. However, the fact that it is against the local customs to venture off Kurken Island irritates her to no end.

One day, wishing for something interesting to finally happen in her life, Ryza escapes on a boat with her two good friends: the bookworm Tao Mongarten and the aspiring warrior Lent Marslink. Arriving at a nearby forest, the trio stumbles into Klaudia Valentz, the daughter of a visiting merchant who also wandered off into the woods.

As the naive and underprepared group ventures further, they run into dangerous monsters. Thankfully, they are rescued by the alchemist Empel Vollmer and his skilled bodyguard Lila Decyrus. This fateful encounter will lead Ryza to the key that will change her life forever—the creative and wonderful world of alchemy.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

3 eps in. So far the story is following the game very closely and the animations are pretty well done aswell. if you are a fan of the games you most likely will enjoy this show aswell from what i have seen.
for people new to this series; Its a simple adventure/fantasy story, something that you would expect when you play a typical JRPG. Its About a few friends that live in a remote village that find something that they wanna pursue in their life after having a certain encounter and it features the beginnings of their adventure. The pacing starts of quite slow, so ...

The feeling of adventure!

We all get that feeling at times, wanting to escape the world we are in, and explore a totally new one. Wishing to find that excitement in your boring life, and make it more fulfilling in your eyes, but to also take your childhood friends with you to boot. ere is the cute tale, of Ryza's adventures!

Story and characters: 8
There is certainly something to really adore when it comes to this. It also feels like a breath of fresh air, compared to usual shows that give the protags easy wins, and they overcome anything in their path with brute force. For once, ...

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

Atelier Thighza.

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout The Animation adapts the JRPG of the same name—a slice-of-life sim with adventuring elements boosting an in-depth alchemy system used for crafting items. I’ve never played the games myself, but from what I’ve heard from people I know who have played them they’re pretty chill JRPG experiences. That can be said for the anime too. A very chill experience… and that's the anime’s biggest problem.

Focusing on the positives, the anime is very pretty. There’s a lot of really lovely animation, background artwork and thighs… Jesus Christ in heaven above, those juicy thighs…
When I and ... the show aren't hyper-focusing on thighs, I like the homely atmosphere the show has going for it. The island town is a close-knitted community where everyone knows and looks out for each other, and Reisalin, Lent and Tao's wide-eyed troublesome trio dynamic is endearing.

Unfortunately, like 99% of video game adaptions, this is another one where you feel like you’re just watching someone play the video game instead of experiencing it for yourself. The first episode is a fifty-minute premier that tries to get the viewer invested by introducing the world and the characters in laborious detail but by the end of it, all I could wonder was why the episode even needed to be fifty minutes long when it had so little to say for itself. If an anime is asking me to invest more than twenty minutes into its first episode then that first episode better be hype as fuck, and unfortunately, Atelier Ryza doesn’t deliver.
That can be said for the show on the whole. It doesn’t deliver. When each episode consists of our main characters going on what feels like video game side quests -and not even good ones, I’m talking about the level of “Collect 10 Wacko Weeds for Bertie’s butt plug” or something trivial- I can’t help but feel disappointed. Well, I guess in that sense it is literally delivering, but my point still stands.

Atelier Ryza has its charms and delicious anime thighs, but ultimately I think it’s boring. I know that's not a helpful critique to make, but I don't know how else to describe it. It honestly doesn't even make me want to play the game it’s adapting and that is probably its biggest failure. It reminds me of another Lidenfilms video game adaptation and one of my favourite reviews I’ve ever published, 2022’s Smile of the Arsnotoria the Animation and when your anime shows similarities to that, you’ve done something wrong. I’ll end with a quote from my Arsnotoria review which is relevant here.

“Unfortunately, all of the production values are wasted when the script is about as interesting as a lukewarm bowl of oatmeal.”

4/10 Disappointment.
