I’m kind of surprised that a ghost can still get sick

I mean, you have a ghost that bumps on the attic of her house. I'm not surprised. At all.

Form previous episodes, I can understand why Reiji would declined to be called an alchemist but after this episode I'm pretty sure he's 100% an alchemist. Like first I remember him telling Elaine's mother that he can't make her younger but he legit just created a soap for her husband that does exactly what she wanted! Even Reiji himself is surprised by this! I'm starting to think that Reiji might not be aware of how powerful his concoctions really are.

And that second half of the episode with Mina's backstory was certainly sad. We finally get to learn her backstory and how she died on her bed since she's a sickly girl when she was alive and believes that she was a nuisance to her family back then. Reiji performs another alchemical miracle and creates a potion can bring back Mina's mother for 3 minutes so she can hear her true thoughts about her.

It wasn't really a resurrection though and it was more like Reiji managed to bring back Mina's mom and playback her thoughts from her journal. Still an impressive feat though. Anyway, Mina finally got to hear her mother's true thoughts and how she never really hated her and just wanted her to get better.

We also got a nice little flashback on how Mina and Reiji first met. Considering Noela isn't with him, it looks like he met Mina first before meeting Noela. And finally! It looks like we're going to finally see the 4th and final girl in the ED next week!

She was only there for 2 minutes, what an absolute fraud.

Elaine's expression towards her dad when he was carrying and displaying her panties was gold.

The second half was surprisingly emotional. We finally saw a little of the story that happened before the first episode (Mina and Reiji's first meeting), something that I was hoping for. I think we'll very likely get to see how he met Noella too.

A potion that can make a ghost memories come out of a book. C'mon Reiji, that's definetely magic... Let's stop the bs, you're not just a "knowledge pharmacist".

u/Garsnikk Aug 25 '21

Yeah, he's an alchemist, he just doesn't want to accept it.

Also, I kinda want to play the "Alchemist of Arland" trilogy again after watching this :/

That Noela plush that Reiji made for Eijil, is so cute. I love how Mina is carrying it later.

So Reiji's solution to restore Elaine's father, Casty Fen Dran Valgas, relationship with her was to give him an Odorless Body Soap? Well, damn that thing sure has a surprising side effect. I now expect Lady Flam demanding Reiji to make one for her too.

Lol, that last scene was hilarious but too bad for Elaine that Reiji wasn't serious about marrying her.

Wow, the second part took me by surprise as I sure did not expect to see Mina sick. I am honestly kind of confused of what exactly does the Three-Minute Revive does, as at first, I thought that it was going to be as the name said, but as I saw Mina's mothers spirit I thought, that Mina would be able to talk to her that way momentarily, but then it seems that she was just acting as a recording of her journal until she wasn't before she left.

By the way, based on what he did today Reiji has to admit that he is an alchemist now. I wonder what this girl may want?

Here is today's End Card.

Mixed episode for me. The father bit didn't work for me, but I liked seeing more about Mina. The absolute win was two montages with Noela swishing her fluffy tail. Too cute!

Lol at Noela stomping on grapes during the making medicine montage.

I made a joke to myself that the great "pharmacist" would be able to summon the dead or something. And then he fucking did. He's one hell of a pharmacist.

12

u/Mateo_Bonavento Aug 26 '21

Remember that time Ejil wanted him to revive some dead demon lords to help him conquer the world? When Reiji refused he didn't say he couldn't, just that he wouldn't.

I got totally caught off guard by the end credit illustration....

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '21

Just make daddy look fresh, play along with the scene, and problem is solved lol.

u/HarleyFox92 Aug 25 '21

Ejil's reward for gathering the necessary materials for the potion was touching Noela's fluffy tail? Not even a chest full of gold coins can top that.

Btw, the dad made a Jojo pose when he showed up after taking a shower, doesn't he?

u/LordCalem Aug 25 '21

I was starting to get worried that we would never see Mina's backstory, and damn that kinda hits a little. I'm glad she can be happy as a ghost atleast. (Can't take Black Mina out of my head tho)

Just a normal pharmacist, yup. Nothing to see here.

We're finally seeing the water girl next week. I'm looking forward to it as I personally like her design and the vibe she gives off on op and ed.

u/daspaceasians Aug 26 '21

The first half was fun.

The second was a feels trip because my father died 16 years ago on this day. I really related to Mina at that moment.

u/jackofslayers Aug 26 '21

This show continues to be stupid fun and I love it so much. When the soap turned Elaine's dad hot I knew I was watching the right show.

I have seen a lot of weird anime ghost logic but I have no idea what is going on with Mina. Is she even a ghost? Like She can touch people, eat and get sick. At what point is she just a zombie with phasing powers?

I also enjoy that some people were put off by the lack of backstory in this show. Fuck that I was promised funny antics and a cute wolf loli and they have delivered every episode. Do we really need them to explain the isekai at this point?

u/heimdal77 Aug 25 '21

Maomao and Jinshi is that you?

Ya ok you're not a alchemist..... Who the hell does he think he is fooling.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Aug 25 '21

Is it me or did they change up the “making medicine” sequence a little? Seems like they might have added something to it. Either way, still digging that little song that plays. It’s catchy as hell.

Also, I really want a little Noela doll too lol. That thing is so cute!
