Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky

Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky

Introduction

This world has gone through many Dusks, and is slowly nearing its end. Within this world, in the western reaches of the "Land of Dusk," there was a nation that prospered thanks to its use of alchemy. There, in order to survive the eventual arrival of the "Dusk End," the people devoted their efforts to rediscover and recreate lost alchemic technologies. Rediscovered technology from the past era was gathered in the alchemy research city known as "Central," where research was conducted on how to halt the advance of the twilight. One of the heroes is a young man who researched alchemy in Central, the other a girl living in a small town on the frontier. This girl's name is Escha. In the process of using her knowledge of ancient alchemy to help others, she was assigned to the Development Department. The young man's name is Logy. Having learned the newest alchemic techniques in Central, he requested a transfer to this understaffed town to make use of his abilities, and meets Escha when he is assigned to the Development Department as well. The two make a promise to use their alchemy together, and bring success to the Development Department. (Source: Tecmo Koei Europe)

The "Atelier Escha and Logy" anime—and, as of writing, THE "Atelier" anime—is a bit of a weird duck. It adapts one of the most popular entries in the franchise, but that game is the second in a trilogy and the anime assumes that you played the first game. Well, I haven't. And the way that it incorporates the first game tries to hit a middle ground where it's clear that knowing exactly what the references to it mean isn't very important, but that also makes those moments seem pointlessly vague. That's not a huge quibble with me, but it's why I wouldn't recommend this unless you already like Atelier, like me, and you might play the Dusk Trilogy one day. It is pretty good (sometimes very good) at capturing the FEEL of the Atelier games, which is my favorite game series. It's slow and steady…

This anime in every way is my least favorite anime. It can really be summed up as extremely boring.The characters are very boring, there is nothing important going on in the story. I wouldn't recommend it, but that's just my opinion. The problems in the story are some really childish stuff. I think one of the problems was the water was polluted, this doesn't work here because nothing fun is going on here. Polluted water works in konosuba because they added comedy to it, there is no comedy in the anime. It's was not a fun time the only thing i will give the anime is the art style is decent. I'm sure the game is pretty good, but the anime is hot garbage in every way. I'm not lying when I say this, I fell asleep in the middle of this anime. I've never done that for any other show. I was actua…

No spoilers. This anime is sort of a sleeper. It's unassuming from the surface and doesn't really stand out as something I would particularly like, but a few episodes in and I was hooked. The worldbuilding is incredibly rich, and the characters are each unique in both personal and visual design. Despite having somewhat of a large cast, I wasn't ever annoyed or put off by the characters. The plot progression was very gamery, but I feel like that was never a detriment to the overall feel, unlike with so many other video game adaptations. The biggest strength of this anime is the characters and the environment those characters build. There's no real social tropery going on, and despite having few men and many women, the interactions are pleasantly free from haremization. On the contrary, it…

(This was written in 2015. Posting now cause why not?) Most anime are made to sell or promote their source materials via it be manga, light novels, or video games. Escha and logy is the latter. Escha and logy is set in a fantasy world with magic, witches, and alchemy. But due to certain circumstances the world is slowly coming to an end. So the people of the world decide to work together to try and halt their spending doom. The story follows our two protagonist, Escha and logy. The show is like a slice of life in a fantasy world. Most of the episodes are episodic with only one plot line being brought up at near the end of the series. This is one of my main gripes with the series. The show was awfully boring for the most part. We got to learn the core mechanics for the world and nothing e…

Although the story may be told in a different way, the anime adaptation of Atelier Escha & Logy is by all accounts a solid and competent one; as an avid fan of the game I can vouch for that- allow me to explain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The story of Escha & Logy is but a simple story centered primarily around the themes of cooperation, ambition, caring for the natural environment and the perils of the unbridled lust for wealth. In fact, such are the themes that deeply pervade the Dusk series in the Atelier franchise of video games. However, what differentiates this anime adaptation from the video game is that the game focuses more on establishing and developing the setting of the world of Dusk while less so on the individual characters themselves. The charact…

Atelier Escha & Logy series (エスカ&ロジーのアトリエ ~黄昏の空の錬金術士~) has 12 eps in total and 'til this date haven't announced for the 2nd season. Maybe it'll just going like this. Atelier Escha & Logy anime television series based on the game with the same name. Well, if you try to search the game by itself you will find so many Atelier series. It is exactly like what it sounds, there are currently 15th series, and the one became an anime is the 15th series. From the pic I show above, it shows so many female characters. Don't misinterpret this anime to be for entertain the audience with fanservices. It's moe enough but also has few male characters and it's not harem genre. The main characters named Escha and Logy, the alchemists. The background of this story is mainly on Colseit town. The town where Es…

Story: The Story had an appealing start. It's a refreshing scene with alchemy. But i've noticed that the development went fast from this to this. You can sense a rush in things or more like compressed. Even though it had a potential, i guess the development of the Story itself is a so-so. Art: Art was cool. Had refined details and each character had it's uniqueness. It reminds me when I'm watching Fairy Tale or that sort of nostalgia. Sound: Sounds / BGM / OST; all went with the right timing. I can't say thumbs down to that. I really liked the OP as well. It just sucks that it didn't go well with the story. For what the songs relay was a sad story. Character: Character was good. Decent characters projected. But the development in each was so much infuriating. (LOL). There are a lot of…

The thought of video game adaptations in film or anime usually leads one to imagine the more frequently popularized aspects of video games: Stylish violence and sensuality, high-velocity, no-holds-barred plotlines with worlds that need saving, and iconic, stone-faced heroes and heroines. Atelier Escha & Logy, an adaptation of one installment in a series of well-received roleplaying games, is about as far removed from that generalization as possible—its heroes and heroines are not particularly adept, and its focus drifts towards some of the more humble aspects of gaming, such as navigating the environment, gathering resources, communicating with other characters, and gradually honing skills. The idea is respectable, but the result here is a slice of fantasy life that is calm and benign, but…

"Don't give up on your dreams" That pretty much sums up the moral that the anime teaches in a sense. Although not many reviews or others have really focused on the what anime can teach someone.. but personally I think it is rather important to at least touch on it because it is something that many people overlook. Many people underestimate the power of anime. Anime is one of the few things that can shed's light on issues that people may not be able to understand, teaches and reminds us of morals and also provide entertainment for all kinds of people (but.. as we all know..some things in anime that can be disturbing for some people and does tend to show women as objects in some anime) Escha & Logy no Atelier is an example of a pretty standard anime that centers around the idea of "Don't…

*This is my first anime review, sorry if it's not good! ^_^;* Although this anime was adapted from the game version, this review will only focus on the anime. To start off, it was amazing. If you're into alchemy, magic and supernatural then this anime would be one of the best. Normally I'm not into alchemy, but this series made it look amazing. The two main characters (Escha & Logy) were great characters to take note on for development in personality. You could also see the romance between them sometimes( sadly it never happens T_T). The characters were developed really well, and you could see their personality within the first line they said! The story was only just being fulfilled in the last couple of episodes. The other episodes seemed like filler, but was drawing in more characte…

Story:4 it's too normal that you wanna drop off this anime. Art:9 No doubt, this anime's graphic is epic. Sound:7 Soundtrack counted as good, but can't compete with those classed-anime. Character:7 Every character designed well, matched with good personalities. Enjoyment:4 As i said, this anime is too normal that you cant get any enjoyment from it. Overall:5 I can't believe i was able to finished this anime without dropping it off.

To those who have already played the games, I'm sure all of you will be familiar with this title already. To those who haven't but had this title catch your eye, then welcome to the world of alchemy and other such things in The Atelier of Escha and Logy! In my case, it was the latter which got me watching this. So yeah, I'm apparently not that familiar with the series, but after completing it, I felt that I've gotten a bit closer to 'their world'! Story: 7/10 The entire series was generally simply made and thought of. Initially, most of the episodes covered that one incident each, until towards the end when there was a more apparent continuation between the episodes. Every episode is easy to understand, without any complicated matters involved. The pace of the series is just right; as f…

So everyone knows this is based on game series and yes, it's not that easy to understand the whole thing without playing those games. Yet it doesn't mean that you won't be able to enjoy this anime at all. Even if you're not familiar with games, there's a certain aura to this anime that you can enjoy it as well as others do. Story 7/10 - isn't anything too complicated, it's rather easy-going, may feel a little slow-paced but that's just the nature of this anime. There's nothing much to talk about story actually, most of the episodes are concentrated on individual characters. They don't go really too much into background and keep it easy to understand. Art is quite good, you can just see that on your own~ but it's nothing to great either so it's 7/10. Sound - well, it's all about taste…

First thing's first, I am unfamiliar with the game series this is adapted from so I will not be making comparisons, instead I will review this as the anime alone. Story - 6/10. Escha & Logy no Atelier did not have much of a story. It turned out more like a slice of life, at least for the first half of the series. Two alchemists start working in the Development Department and from then on the first half of the series is largely focused on our main characters, Escha and Logy, meeting the rest of the cast. Small things do happen, but nothing plot focused happens until the latter third of the series. Although there was not much story to be found, the last few episodes picked up the pace quite quickly, and what was there was enjoyable and relaxing to watch. My only real issue with it is there…
