As expected, we have yet another adaptation of an Atelier game. This time is, Atelier Ryza as Reisalin Stout decides she has had enough of being forced to do farming work and harvesting. With that, she wants to go on an adventure with her friends, which gets her into trouble.

The Enshittification of Centralized Social Platforms and Implications on the Japanese Media Fandom, or Why You should Join Mastodon/the Fediverse
Since the mid-2010s, the Japanese media fandom, whether anime or manga, has moved away from blogs and forum communities to centralized platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and Instagram.
However, in 2023, we are paying a massive price in abandoning user-run spaces and moving everything to centralized platforms. These platform owners realized they had to make money.

In fact, no centralized social planforms ever really turn a consistent profit that can sustain themselves.

With that, I’m doing two each week, which should reduce the burden. After all, I work in the office on Thursday. After watching the first two episodes, how did the spinoff fare?
Note: I will be covering two episodes a week instead of three. It’s a bit too much. If that becomes too much for me, I’ll just cover one episode at a time. This just adds to this dismal season.
