In a land which battles an encroaching
desolation called the dusk there are special people who study the
long lost technologies to make life better, they are called
Alchemists. In a small frontier town called colseit Escha is an
alchemist who dreams of exploring the ruins floating in the sky. Her
life begins to change when another alchemist named Logy is assigned
to the Colseit alchemist guild.
Atelier Escha and Logy is a show based
off a video game of the same name from the Atelier series. As for a
genre classification the show is pretty much a slice of life show
with copious fantasy elements. I am not familiar with the game so I
can't make a comparison on the faithfulness of the show.
I found this show is nice and charming
and serviceable as a slice of life show. There is a decent amount of
character development although some things could use some more
closure. I found the show to be charming with most of the attention
in the show paid to individual characters and with a mixed cast it
felt a little less cloying than your usual “four girls doing
nothing” show with just the barest amount of plot substance to it
but not much.
Overall I found Escha and Logy to be
just a simple diversion of a show.
Rating the bronze Hadouken (Street Fighter II ) for being a decent anime show based off of a video game.
