Hot bath, BBQ, and lots of fun.

Glad this anime was able to give one of these breather episodes. Yeah, this one had the most fan service but it was also there for the character to relax and enjoy their day. Well not everything was cherry for this episode but still glad to see some fun and of course, food.

It's so strange to me how this show is so anti-slavery, social justice-i, and empowering women, but then they keep indulging the child molester. Also, agonizing how they treat and ultimately lose those unique books.

Ugh... The first half of the episode felt like filler, and the second half was just stretching out one single event! Well, I can sum up the whole episode in two words: they went on vacation and the restaurant burned down... yes, that’s all...

Every week this anime keeps disappointing me with poorly made episodes! Honestly, if from the beginning the story hadn’t been set in such a big world, it would’ve been better! Atelier is really starting to get on my nerves...

You can’t even tell what the story is aiming for, everything feels random! Events are thrown all over the place and you don’t know what to focus on and what to ignore.

See you next week.

I like how Dennis and Vivia are into muscle worship, with Dennis being the one who receive worship while Vivia is the one giving worship to Dennis.

Even though no one died, or even hurt from the arson, I'm still quite sad. In fact, I actually think this is a good way to make me so emotional without killing any character, well done!

I also like how Polpo is a bad character judging from our standard, but other characters in this anime are even worse it makes Polpo look like an angel.

Polpo may be a degenerate but he is not a monster, everyone in that world is so terrible they are making him look like a decent citizen, it has been quite an interesting twist that one would assume this show was going to be all sunshine and rainbows like many with this premise but nobody there can be happy for longer than half a day.

Atelier being all ✌🏻 is cute. But this ended when Henrietta showed the goods (like, come on. Don't ignore them. When ladies don't have them, you shouldn't even mention them; it will ruin their day). Also, look at those guns Dennis is carrying. 2000 what? He's a monster.

Dennis showing off with the special meat Polvo brought was amazing, and as usual, we weren't expecting what came next...

Of course, this show can't have a bit of happiness without tragedy, right?

So, what are you going to do now, Dennis? That's the question. For me, it would've been simple: Pure, and totally justified violence. But it isn't that easy, right?

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

This was a depressing episode, but I liked it because it was also real and different. This is by no means a top shelf series. I'll forget it before the year ends, but I have to applaud this episode. The stuff that gets cranked out with OP MCs is always sunshine and rainbows. They always get their way. You know exactly how this episode would have played out in 90% of the other series. There would have been a shadowed figure waiting in the building to stop the outcome and deliver some quote along the lines of “I knew you'd be coming” before beating the tar out of the arsonists. Or the arsonists would succeed in destroying the place, but the town would band together to run the groups responsible out of town and/or help them rebuild.

The worst thing is that all Atelier's precious books are gone... and they were her only father's legacy... a very upsetting ending of the episode but I don't buy the stay low solution, it's a cliffhanger bait, probably they will be forced to take action for self-defense.

Pretty heart breaking episode especially towards the end. Dennis thinking about his adoptive "Mother" probably played a role in his vibe once the restaurant was gone. The books burned too hurt as well. It hurt to see Dennis like that.

Hopefully justice will be served.

All that work to get those books for Atelier and they're gone just like that. And this week felt like it was the breakup of the band but now, hopefully, they've got a reason to stay together a little longer. There's just too many villains in this show that haven't been properly punished yet, so we still have time.

You half-expected given Henrietta's character model, that she'd be featured a bit more in the bathhouse episode, but hey, we needed those shots of Dennis. 😂

Atelier and the three fools Henrietta, Vivia and Bachel are fine and such keeps Dennis centered.

@Phantom_Void737 Lol I was actually really surprised at how tame the fan service here was, most anime turn it UP when there's hot springs involved. There was so much steam and stuff overlayed that barely anything was visible. I'm not complaining though, as I'm not a fan of "fan service" in most anime anyways.

Every time Dennis cooks reminds me of one of those video games where when you see something light up you press A or something.

Plus all those books they said were out of print or they thought didn't exist anymore went up in smoke.

@Elior21 nope, he's dead wrong and doing the stupid Japanese trope... 'i was overproud and wasn't humble enough. so my life is ruined now.' aka 'the nail that sticks out finds the hammer'.

ya got TWO arsonists in custody. start the interrogations. call the guards. call the lawyer. call ALL THOSE SCHOLARS who were DESPERATE to get ahold of her books even for the length of one meal. ones who came back day after day after day. multiple books in that collection were possible NATIONAL TREASURES and unique texts thought to have been lost for years. call his buddy the swordswoman in the bikini armor! get the 'legal' wheels spinning. anybody obstructs them in any way? his bikini buddy slices them up like taters, then lvl 99 dude smashes em into mash. he doesn't NEED his low-level customer buddies. they can all just go off and do whatever they were going to do wherever it was.

there is ZERO declared royal risk at all. none. just one noble family. his old guild isn't gonna do schitt with their #2 leader behind our guy saying he's right. otherwise they woulda done it already. their leader is using backroom contacts instead of open combat. the dirty guild and their lackeys aren't gonna be hard to beat up or just off-em permanently.

somebody hurts your people, you hurt TWO of theirs worse than yours. somebody burns down your business, you burn down two of THEIR buildings... hopefully with some of their people inside them.

It's surprising how this episode ended after the first half was pretty chill with the BBQ and with some of the characters planning on moving on to do their own thing but the 2nd half with Dennis' restaurant being burned to the ground was a tragedy, especially the books that were rare (not sure if they were one of a kind or not). While Dennis plans on trying to move on with Atelier, there are some characters that are heading their way and we'll see if they're friend or foe but either way I think it will change Dennis' plans to leave that town.

Honestly, seeing the books inherited by Atalier’s parents burned and lost is really annoying.
Those books were hidden and kept by Atalier’s parents for him, so they wouldn’t be misused by his uncle.
The books were actually more valuable than all of Atalier’s parents’ wealth. Why did there have to be a plot where they got burned?

From the start, the fact that those books were displayed and read freely at Denis’s shop was already annoying.

@KiliianSleipnir you forget there is possiblity might be also corrupt royals in the ropyal family in the country which is in cahoots with those partys and the noble which will make things much worse if dennis will go on the attack recklessly

@Elior21 you're reaching. like... beyond anything said in the show or even suggested. seriously, just make up anything you want to. flying pigs. orange cows. it raining down pure liquor that can be gathered via huge funnels into barrels. whatever makes yourself feel better for being happy he's running off like a cowardly whipped dog with his tail between his legs. he's not fighting back at all. so. when he leaves, they win. period. you let disgusting trash burn your house and business down and just accept it? yeah. no thanks. that's crap fiction no matter how you want to gussy it up.

I do not approve of this "make the audience think the innocent girl got the best out of the deal", then just burn everything down for drama sake.

This is bad writing and typical "the good people need to lose everything and then build up" mentality, which never works in anime, because it never makes any logical sense.

Sad, because I actually liked this anime until this point.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Back to the quality where it should be.

Love Dennis' realistic mindset. Would've been extremely trash had the story gone to the revenge fight trope. If this is a gourmet anime, do your revenge in a gourmet style, unlike whatever happened in E2-4. Looking forward to seeing their next journey.

I think it's a nice change from the normal! I prefer women, but I also like variety and inclusivity, so this was great!

I'll also have to start doing 2,000 handstand pushups every morning before work :P
