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.
Yes, this episode is two episodes long, clocking in at 48 minutes, but it’s almost how I remembered it. Sure, the animation is a step up compared to the first adaptation of an Atelier game, namely Atelier Escha & Logy.

While the first several games only got released in Japan, the Atelier games definitely influenced Japanese RPGs in general as many of them implemented some type of item crafting, especially weapons and equipment.
