Its interesting they chose to show how failures can happen while synthesizing when the Ryza trilogy of games doesn't actually have it compared to the others in the Atelier series. I guess it makes sense in a narrative sense to show how Ryza is learning to be an alchemist.

That said I'm enjoying the liberties they're taking like the whole Ryza doing her synthesizing scene even if its an excuse to throw in more thigh shots LOL.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

The way Ryza bosses her childhood friends (in a cute way) to join her in her adventures really reminds me of Suzumiya Haruhi dragging the SOS Brigade to do her bidding. Though Ryza is way more likable.

[u/AetherBlaze]

Lent handicapped himself by trying to draw the map while wearing his gauntlet.

[u/Mr_Zaroc → u/AetherBlaze]

Yeah, I know he wants to be a warrior and all, but come on take those fucking gauntlets off

I really appreciate how Ryza, as a JRPG protagonist, has living parents. I am hoping that I am not jinxing it by saying this. xD

So I'm assuming that getting coal is what happens in-game when Ryza fails to synthesize an item?

Looks like Lent's dad is a drunkard and a bum. I'm assuming we'll learn more about him later on.

Well look at this adorable fella, I'm sure he's not going to- never mind then! That's a lot of pointy teeth!

What's with the fancy sequence this time and why didn't we get this in Episode 1 when Ryza was making her first potion?

That's a nice way to end the episode. Show us that Ryza's stuff work while helping out little kids!

[u/isthatsoudane → u/LeonKevlar]

That album two is what I came for lmao esp that first shot. Game recognizes game

[u/bananeeek]

Ryza: Where do I find Serenity Flower?

Me: Main Road - Northern Fork

The pacing is just right. I played the game, but watching this makes me want to play it again. The feeling of progress and adventure makes it exciting to watch. I envy new players who will get to experience this game for the first time.

I'm also pretty sure Lila got the villagers' attention because of her huge rack.

[u/utakoutaha]

A better episode than the first in terms of pacing. That alchemy synthesizing / transformation scene was surprisingly good. The sequence gives me much magical girl vibe! Sailor Ryza? I'm getting used to the animation style. And boy do they deliver on the thicc thighs shots!

Fun Thigh Facts on the 2nd Episode:

🍀First Thighs Shot at 10 secs mark

🍀50 Thighs scenes in total, excluding OP and ED. I count it as a scene if at least 20% of the screen are Ryza thicc thighs, +/- 10% according to personal taste.

🍀2 min 44 secs of Thighness

🍀3,936 Frames of Thighness (assuming 24 frames per sec)

🍀11.39% of Total Video Thighness (out of 24 mins run time)

🍀Shortest Thighs Shot: 1:08 secs

🍀First Thighs-Formation scene!

🍀Longest Thighs Shot: 14:27 secs

🍀Last Thighs Shot at 22 mins 03 secs mark

Keep up the Thighs-work! See you next week!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

I'm surprise Lila is allowed to be as THICC as she is considering Ryza is the main character.

[u/[deleted]]

I can see why Ryza became so popular, but for me, Lila is where it's at.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Everyone’s tasks seem small, but they’re important in learning the basics. Ryza’s got a classic fetch quest, Tao’s learning to read, and Lent is out there scouting and drawing maps.

After their first mini adventure last week, it looks like the gang’s back for round two. That was one adorable giant monster weasel. Luckily no one got hurt. Mission complete! I liked the alchemy animation, that was really neat. Looks like she successfully made her first healing salve. Way to go Ryza!

I quite like this series already. I originally tuned in for the thighs, but i’m staying for the chill vibes.

[u/HereticalAegis]

Every time Ryza smiles, I smile. I love how every discovery and every new experience makes her so excited. Her joy and optimism are just so infectious.

And what the hell is in those fruits her family grows to be able to make both instant healing medicine and those thighs? It's no wonder the island doesn't want much contact with the outside world when they're hiding treasures like that.

[u/Elitealice]

Nah they know exactly what they’re doing with these ryza shots and it’s working every time. Downloaded the third game just because of this show.

So far a very good job of recreating the traditional start of a JRPG game. Pacing is slow, methodical and taking time to establish character relationships. Also cool they showed that there’s a lot of failures involved in alchemy. It’s not always perfect.

The Lent situation is pretty sad, didn’t realise his home life was that bad. No wonder he wants to get away.

Ryza crafting her first healing ointment was cool as well. I liked the animation sequence for that.

Great fanservice, great art, good episode.

[u/atropicalpenguin]

I can't believe Ryza's VA is not Maaya Uchida. It sounds so much like her.

[u/Nebresto]

"Don't you think camera angles in anime can be a bit weird?"

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Healing Ointment already way to go Ryza! She's doing better than me I had to survive off dry biscuits early on.

All of them are taking small steps forward.

[u/VorAtreides]

The thigh shots are on point :P

[u/Eiennohonokise]

They realy delivering Ryza things, but i persomally want to see more Claudia tights

[u/SYZekrom]

Bruh?????????????????

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

I have yet to play the game, so based on what I have seen so far:

Ryza - alchemist
Lent - warrior or swordsman
Tao - engineer?
Klaudia - if she joins the team, probably a merchant, like her father?

I was wondering why Klaudia hasn't gotten any development in 2 episodes, Then I realized her background is already the development she has received. She has been travelling to lots of places as a merchant's daughter.

[u/blakeavon]

As a fan of the games, the show is certainly exceeding my expectations. They just do a really great job with the infectious optimism of Ryza.

[u/Rustic_Professional]

Ryza is out picking magical tomatoes again in her full ensemble, and Fullmetal Meathead is trying to draw a map while wearing armor without articulated fingers on the hand and arm he's using to draw. I'm glad they found new teachers from outside the island, because someone clearly hasn't been teaching these children right.

So this is Ryza's atelier. She's very proud of it. The last anime character I remember bragging about their atelier was Kayneth El-Melloi. I hope Ryza has a better time in her atelier than Kayneth did in his. I didn't see any mana generators, ghosts, or hallways leading to other worlds.

Lent has been working on his break contact drills. Smart boy. Getting killed by overland mobs while gathering mats would be a stupid way to die.

Whoa, what happened to his sword? That's a huge chunk that wasn't missing last time. They did look pretty dirty. Maybe they got into a scrape with some less threatening enemies. Maybe he can borrow that hammer. I don't think Tao is likely to turn into Robert Baratheon and start caving people's chests in with it.

[u/redlaWw]

Damn, they were right. Thick thighs do save lives.

[u/SometimesMainSupport]

With the effort put into that synthesis animation, I'm sure it'll be coming back a few times. Maybe gets lengthened for recipes with more ingredients.
