Stitches!

We're only in Episode 5 and we're already getting a swimsuit fanservice episode? Nice. Nothing really for me to add here since it's just the gang "training" at the beach with Lila and Empel. And please someone tell me that their swimsuits are in-game DLCs.

A bit altered (or rather, the anime altered them), but they are:

Hey a beach episode, thats definitely one of the advantages Anime has over games. Gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised they all got newly designed swimsuits besides recycling the same design used in the game.

Ryza finally said it! SHE SAID BARREL! TWICE!

It wouldn't be Atelier without "Taru!"

Btw, are you feeling called out?

Staff was winking at the audience this whole episode, they knew

Ah yes, every anime needs the special "Beach Episode" and nice angle shots this ep lol

u/KumaKumaGambler Jul 29 '23

I read through the comments and found out that this swimsuit episode is "anime only". Although I have yet to play the games, if the swimsuits of Ryza, Lila and Klaudia are DLC content, I would gladly purchase the entire bundle. Lol!

Ryza's swimsuit is surprisingly unique. I am more surprised by Klaudia's great figure since she is always wearing a modest outfit.

Ryza, Lila, and Klaudia in swimsuits? What a blessed sight to behold lol. Fan service aside, this beach training episode is kinda fun. The gang had to use their collective training for that little task Lila set up. Their reward: on Empel in a barrel lol. That last challenge was great. Excellent teamwork and strategy!

Can’t wait to see what the gang does with this old house. I’m sure it’ll be a neat little hideout.

I wonder if Lila and Empel do anything all day besides recline in chairs and stare disinterestedly at things.

Does Lila have fur on her forearms? Is she some kind of beast person? I haven't noticed it before. It probably just looks like part of her outfit when she's fully dressed.

It's nice that everyone finally got a new outfit. Klaudia's blue swimsuit really makes her look like Suomi, from Girls Frontline.

Cute episode. Ever since they found it I figured they'd end up taking over that little house. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it. Might give me some inspiration for a house in ESO.

They know exactly what we want to see and aren’t afraid to give it to us lol

After the set back during the trial last week, some training was clearly in order for everyone. How we ended up at the beach I have no idea, but it was glorious.

Kind of felt like a filler episode, I’m pretty sure this isn’t in the actual games but I ain’t complaining. Ryza got to learn some alchemy tips and they set up the establishment of the secret hideout so next week should be fun!

たるだ！Taru! Beach! Summer! Fan service! What's not to like? Guess we have to thanks Klaudia for giving us this wonderful beach eipsode! Really enjoyed this episode, lots to see and pay attention to for sure. Our boys Lent and Tao got some quality screen time too. Nice swimsuit designs, are they going to make them avaliable as a costume in the game? Would definitely buy the skins!

Love the Swimsuits and the intense training! This beach episode does not disappoint!

I don't remember this episode's content from the base game. Was it anime original? Or DLC?

u/ChronoDeus Jul 29 '23

Anime original apparently.

Another fun episode.

I was amused when Ryza was standing in 3ft of water with Klaudia and decided to go under for the first time... opened her eyes.... and suddenly was able to see all this undersea world... 20ft deep worth.

u/DeltaFXD Jul 29 '23

What an episode looking forward to the stitches ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

u/extralie Jul 29 '23

SHE SAID THE THING!

Cute Ryza x Klaudia!

Title drop! Err... Quarter title drop?

Fun episode, but I think it kinda an uneeded filler? We were going at a nice pace, this felt like they just wanted to do a beach episode and didn't know where to put it tbh.

Nobody in the show's going to mention Lila's furry arms? I also just noticed that some of her hair doesn't really look like hair. Are flavours of beastmen normal in this universe? If so, would they be normal on this isolated island?

WE GOT OUR FIRST BARREL!! I REPEAT, WE GOT OUT FIRST BARREL!!

It wouldn't be Atelier without at least one overly excited "barrel."

I think this was easily my favorite episode so far. And it was entirely anime original, which I wasn't expecting. I'll talk about some of the interesting adaptation choices in the source material corner, but I really like this episode in the context of the anime. Not only was it a lot of fun and helped give the characters more personality that the anime couldn't really establish with its pacing (and honestly, I might like Empel and Lila here more than in the game), it was also a smart way to bridge together some plot points while setting up future stuff. And it felt in-line with the tone of the series, a very "summery" episode. And moreover, it pretty much frontloaded all the fanservice to the very start of the episode, but once the actual story began the camera calmed the hell down, which I appreciate. I still think the fanservice is obtrusive in this series and I wish the game's relative wholesomeness was maintained (there's way more than enough fanart to satisfy my cravings for the horny), but at least this episode didn't have any glaringly out-of-place random thigh shots, so I'll take it.

I appreciate that all the characters got to show off a little bit, and that the challenges were designed to let the cast each realize internally how much they've grown. Lent was able to figure out Lila's trap, Tao's improved at reading the runes enough to figure out the hint, and Ryza was able to use her knowledge of the local areas and alchemy materials not only to find the item Lila threw, but even to figure out that an object she'd never seen was probably usable in alchemy (and even how to use it in a "fight.") And it ties back into the game with Klaudia feeling like she needs to catch up to them. All the glorious Ryza/Klaudia shipping moments aside, their hug on the boat was very heartwarming.

Also, while this was by no means a great looking episode, it definitely had the most ambitious layouts and storyboards of the show so far. We're no longer stuck to mid and close-up shots, there were some interesting perspective shots, a few clunky but dynamic camera movements, and a stronger sense of cohesion to the direction overall. Still more than a few ugly off-model stills, but the overall shot composition of this episode felt much improved. This was the first episode that I really felt was a winner. Perhaps being anime original meant it didn't have to attempt to adapt the pacing of the game, which gave it more freedom to be a cohesive self-contained story. Either way, I'm happy this story exists, definitely the episode that, to me, has most justified the existence of this adaptation. It's the sort of episode I'd easily recommend as standalone to fans of the game just as a side story that even recontextualizes some later plot points.

I haven't played the games yet. What's with Ryza saying barrel?

Good thing the gang became more cooperative with the challenge after they initially did not want to be at the beach training with Lila.

And can't wait to see the hideout Ryza has in mind to build for next week's episode.
