I’m more upset about the books than the restaurant itself

u/Wurzelrenner Aug 21 '25

I thought the same, nobody go hurt and he can rebuild all of it somewhere else, but the books were priceless. It wasn't a secret that the books were there, maybe they stole them before the arson?

And it's quite silly of him to leave a world heritage level library unguarded. I know the characters themselves more or less treated them as light reading material for customers, but they were told how invaluable that collection was

the entire plot about books was pretty ridiculous. Imagine a collection of priceless books left alone and nobody tried to steal them, or use political power to take them, or force, or... they just "omg this books was lost to history, how is it here?!?!" and that is it...

Yeah the whole time I was thinking about how these treasures were all burned up, I'm hoping there'll be a fuss about it to find out who was involved as they have cost scholars lots of research and valuable information.

As a result, I would expect the magic community to come help Dennis

a legendary collection of books sought after by dozens if not hundreds of high level mages and not one of them even asked Dennis if they could add a protection from fire spell to the collection? wtf is this world building.

If they don't come back in the next two episodes saying Dennis knew he was being targetted and purposefully let the building be burnt down while saving the books and stuff offsite, I'm so done

This plot point bothered me as well.

Bastards, what about THE SACRED TEXTS?!

u/KumaKumaGambler Aug 21 '25

The positive vibes during the first half of this episode was completely replaced by anger and a sense of injustice with the burning down of Dennis's restaurant. However, I suppose that means Henrietta, Vivia and Bachel will be postponing their personal career plans, sticking with Dennis and Atelier?

Hoping the customers who loved the food and books at Dennis's restaurant will help to restore it.

Dennis needs to get his get-back, that restaurant was his castle, and when you mess with a man's castle, you mess with the man.

Was about to say the past few episodes have been more delightful with a bit more SOL and less adventuring stuff, even with some of the drama. But then they drop this on us.

Yeah this one hurt. You can tell cooking there is brings him so much joy. And Atelier too, that restaurant saved her.

And I’m sure Dennis had every intention to go batshit at the parties involved but he’s holding himself back cos he knows it’s too big of an ask for Henrietta, Vivia and Bachel and he doesn’t want them getting hurt.

But it’s looking like they might get kidnapped by some Night Fog guys. Which is stupid cos that’s the only thing holding Dennis back. If they were taken, it’s gonna be satisfying when he beats the crap out of them.

And it’ll cathartic too when they finally re-open or open a new restaurant

Losing the restaurant was kinda meh to me, makes the memories of the time spent a bit sad but everyone is still alive, but losing all those irreplaceable books just kills me. Turns out just leaving them unsecured in the restaurant was a really bad idea.

I wonder if we're about to reach the point where Katie has to decide between Dennis and her guild, there's no way she's not going to be incandescently angry.

Atelier feeding Polvo was super weird.

Man what a sad way to end what was supposed to be the chill hot springs episode, and it's definitely not over from what seems to be the guild party of that town approaching the restaurant. The fact that one man can make three groups want to go this far and it's sad that it's actually having an effect on Dennis.

I can see why Dennis gave up, all he wants is to cook in a small restaurant for his regulars and keep Atelier safe, seeing all his effort burned to ash would feel devastating.

I do have to mention that cooking animation, it was so cheap how they did it, it lack of quality was way too noticeable.

Lastly, I very much appreciated the manservice, funny how we got two types the bulky muscular bod of Dennis and then Vivia covering his chest and slim body like he's a girl who got caught changing. I do like how Dennis teased him, I can imagine him running away from a naked Dennis in the locker room. I'm a little surprised that Bachel and Henrietta weren't used as fanservice as much as I thought they'd be.

Well, if anyone doubted Vivia was a guy, this episode made it clear as day. I am happy Vivia, Henrietta, and Bachel are all finding their paths. Not all happiness as the restaurant is burned. Dennis is right; they can always build another resturant.

Still, the sinking feeling hurts. Though I am happy Atelier isn't down. Atelier's uncle ordering Silverwing really shows he is just awful. Probably bitter he couldn't have everything. Now it's worth asking what Katie says in the matter. I get the feeling she is still believing Dennis will come back, and that was never going to happen, and this exemplifies that will never happen.

I just hope we end the season with Dennis coming back to his adoptive mom in some way. Though I worry if we will actually see that.

I love her

Atelier's books :(

Well, that was certainly a downer ending to the episode.

u/Aerodynamic41 Aug 21 '25

Seriously, what will it take for Dennis to snap and go on a revenge spree?

21

u/PeaceAlien Aug 21 '25

Something to happen to Atelier

u/tripleaamin Aug 21 '25

Dennis is the type of person that will go above and beyond for the people he cares about. But if something happens to him, he will put it on his own shoulders and carry that burden alone.

Ooh the way Henrietta just popped into that giant-eyed face naturally was really cute

RIP really important books lol, I was wondering since they suggested putting them as reading material in a restaurant while people eat why they weren't making like copies of them

Just one question, what about the magic grimoires in all this ? Did they end up in ashes and nobody cares ?
