It's still quite early in this show but looks like Sarasa is already getting tested for her management skills.

On the other hand, it's great to see her making new friends such as with Lorea. Seems she's one of the regular cast members too. I hope they get along for rest of the season. This episode also gave me an adventurous type of vibe.

Another really enjoyable episode.

Things are looking good for Sarasa, but she still has a long way to go.

I'm glad she made a new friend. :)

Well looks like things are going pretty well for Sarasa even tho she was feeling insecure about it.
She made a good impression by talking fondly of the village and that helped out a lot with getting the support of the villagers which is a good thing.
And she made a friend which she also needed.

Now she has her first customer and it seems she is in a lot of trouble so i guess we will see some drama next week.

With the help of an entire village our main heroine had that old rusty house in a proper state in a no time. There definitely (in moderation) is a spin on the whole "cute girls and shit", the characters are very quirky almost whack lol, you never know what comes of of them.

And good on Sarasa, for accomplishing very first important step in her career, she will have the villagers addicted to her drugs in no time, just like in Los Angeles.

Sarasa's new alchemy shop that's in the woods and far out of town, it'd be best for her to trust her master's gift instead of crying out loud for such a wasteful purchase. There's a lot to do to refurbish this place of its filth and dust.

Lorea is an interesting character who stalked Sarasa in the beginning, and I've sworn I've heard her from somewhere (it's Asobi Asobase's Hanako). From her to neighbour Elles, carpenter Geberk to a lot more people in the village, it takes a village's worth for her house-warming gifts while Sarasa tries to get by with the little that she has now, unconfident of what the future holds for her.

Master Ophelia came to see her for a visit and trained her up just a tad bit in sword training, reminding her not to forget her roots of practice, which is much needed. And Lorea as a salesclerk, she would be happy to get the role, even if the job isn't simple.

Also, Lorea being more developed than Sarasa, erm yeah...

Hopefully Sarasa can get along with everyone and make her alchemist shop be known.

Great episode! There's a new cute loli and her VA is very familiar, not bad. Two lolis in a house waiting to serve their customers... heh... not bad... OwO

P.S. Please don't add Yuri and similar fan service... (⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠) but taking a bath is okay but the joke is rather unsettling.

The pacing is so fast that we get to see the other girl in the OP. Hmm...

But I still enjoyed this episode.
What's more enjoyable was the OP's singer.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

She made a new friend and also a worker for her shop, lorea. This anime is just wholesome, but the last part! A girl with her hand cut off. I think she will also join the shop as a worker.

Nice progression, she got used to the town and everyone ended up liking her and willing to help with the shop renovation, and she even found a friend that is working in the shop now, and of course her (OP xD) master went here in three days and made her train, now the shop is opponent and it looks like there's already a very serious case to resolve with that girl that has her arm ripped off :o

Great episode.

Lorea voice is slightly annoying but I'll get used to it. The pace is slightly fast and I don't know if it's a good or bad thing. I think it could have been more interesting if they showed more of how Sarasa slowly built her shop and prepared her inventory but I'm not sure if people would like it or not.

In either case it is still pretty cute and the cast has been completed in almost 2 episode, lol.

Not a big fan of the bath scene but I'll give it a pass, hopefully there's a bit less of it.

This show, this fucking show. It's the worst kind of a show, the kind you wish was offensively bad instead. But it isn't.
It isn't a clanging cg mess. It isn't a rape fantasy isekai. It's just painfully empty.
The world isn't a nonsensical mess, it doesn't make you question why didn't they just flew to Mordor. Because it doesn't exist! That two month long journey from unnamed capital? Yeah there's nothing there.
Want a magic system? Here's a glowing CG pentagram instead, now please shut up.
I think the most apt comparison for it is a bad flash point&click game. Hell, even the main characters look like stick figures with boobs.

The player arrives at the shop, and cleans it up with a single left click on the magic vacuum. The game then forces you to go to each location in town. Then you're all set for dragging some weed into a cauldron for like 10 minutes before you get bored to death and click off to that one game about torturing a stick figure ragdoll.

The point of these types of anime aren’t the adventuring, deep magic systems, or world-ending plot points; it’s the character interactions and small bits of character growth between episodic challenges. This style of Slice of Life isn’t for everyone but I wouldn’t call it empty.

I wasn't expecting Sarasa's (and her master's) weapon of choice to be a rapier, I thought she would go around smacking monsters with a staff.
Next week she better use her newfound combat skills on whatever creatures kicked her (future) friends' butts.

Sarasa getting acquainted with the townsfolk was nice to see, a lot of good people there, it was also funny seeing her get shocked by the bugs in the food even though it was kinda mean of them lol. And looks like we won’t be shy of action in this show after Ophelia gave Sarasa sword training, I was hoping for maximum comfy but I guess a little bit of action is fine lol.

And Sarada already has someone to work with her, being Lorea, who I noticed has the same VA as Fa from RPG Real Estate and Hanako from Asobi Asobase, definitely a cute and fitting voice for her, and I didn’t expect booba in the bath which also kinda takes me back to RPG Real Estate with its fanservice scenes, although it feels a little out of place I’m not complaining lol. And looks like there’s an intense job right off the bat, but she’s one of the main girls so I’m sure she‘ll be fine lol.

I'm actually liking this a lot. The two girls look the same just palette swapped when sleeping though. I like this kinda positive thing. I did seem a little annoying that she just assumed they didn't like her though when it didn't seem that way at all. I guess her self-esteem is just low. Maybe it'll improve more over time.

Lorea is a good addition to the store. Now Sarasa can go out more.

also nice that the village people helped out to fix the place. Anyway, an alchemist in their remote village would be a big help.

looks like that adventurer girl has a serious wound. He arm was cut off... wtf..

looking forward to next week.

Actually, that's main problem of the genre i'd love to call "laid-back isekai". It has no unique setting, memorable plot, it is not offensive, and didn't have anything. One potential isekai had is actually to make a good laid back setting but typical anime conveniences and cliches without deep underatsnding of medieval world and spirit actually ruining most of them. And yeah, I've seen those problems in this anime. Still, something weak doesn't mean it didn't worth and here I am watching this "Ryza"-like anime

Now this was a nice episode, liking the CGDCT and fantasy genres. Also, Mrs. Elles showing Sarasa around and meeting various townsfolk whom later helped in renovating her home was great to see. Ophelia checking up on her and Lorea joining her made me feel good for Sarasa. Looks like we'll be getting some adventures too with Sarasa being trained to defend herself, should be fun.

Personally didn't feel any of the charm of the first episode. Yes, she was clearly a prodigy, but the idea that she'd be struggling a little distinguished it from the blandly saccharine entries. Then here's the whole village to make everything perfect and happy. That's quite a serious injury at the end, though. I'll give it one more for something interesting to flavor the cute.

Aaa Im glad that the villagers bullying was just a bit of a joke taken too far and they ended up all making it up for it, I think Sarasa will be doing well but... ugh was the that bit in the bath scene really necessary shudders really weird seeing that when Lorea is so tiny please... That bit aside, everything looking great and what timing the shop opened and there's already someone in need

Wish I had that "cleaning spell" in real life... EZ cleaning.

And the country girl goes cray-cray on Sarasa cause Sarasa is technically a "rich city girl" (used to have 5 million dollar to her name)

(Also, now that I think about it... how are those book worth 5 million? are they limited? cause I am pretty sure a lot of Alchemist buys them according to episode 1 saying lots of graduates buys them... EZ money I guess, CORPA) (this whole Alchemy thing feels like some sort of giant SCAM by the government...)

___ ___ ___


And now they're doing sword training, cause it looks like even while being an Alchemist that stay in a Lab most times, you still need to go out and kill giant beasts for ingredients

Then afterwards Master goes Sonic and runs all the way back home... I think I saw another anime about some OP dude running sonic fast between towns...

___ ___ ___


And nice for the village to literally help rebuild the Shop.

I still wonder who was the previous Shop owners... seeing how badly the shop is and overgrown with vines... how long has it been abandoned?

And Lorea join the shop as an employee.

(BTW, how old are they? seeing as Sarasa "graduated"... I take it she's suppose to be older than 16? and Lorea was already working in another store... so even tho they look small, they're technically adults? Plus Lorea have actual (___Y___) .)

Sarasa is 15 years-old according to the online wikia. - https://shinmai-renkinjutsushi-no-tenpo-keiei.fandom.com/wiki/Sarasa_Feed

Which is the average or most common age chosen for main characters in anime, it seems. At least lately and among teenage characters. It didn't provide the ages for the other main characters, but for some reason while watching the series I got the impression that Lorea was the same age or even a year younger, despite her physical development, and Kate and Iris I was leaning more toward a year or two older. I guess because of their behavior and mannerisms and what little we saw of their backgrounds in the show. It was just a vague feeling though.

If the series was set in modern times in our world it would be very strange indeed to hear of the protagonist "graduating" a high school/high school equivalent (whatever the last primary school was before adulthood/going into the workforce) and only being 15 at the time, but if you consider the setting is like a medieval or early modern era analogue (setting seems too vague and ill-defined to make some definitive statement about it, especially in the rural area where most of it takes place; could be mostly any period, really), it can probably be considered a product of the setting or at least justified by the author/creator that way. As in, it's a high fantasy setting so it's not exactly Japan and our world, but if it's the equivalent of our 1400s - 1700s, then it makes more sense.
