Ryza no Atelier is a great show if you're looking for a lighthearted coming of age story that still maintains that childhood innocence to it. It breaks away from the "teenaged classroom" model and gives us a freah take on "kids just being kids and finding their own way to become adults."
The show has adventure, without making it too complicated because the cast is children. It has comedy but without making anyone the "stupid character" for comedic relief. And it has drama, without there having to be some dark twist that's traumatizing to witness. I wouldn't say the show is appropriate for children, but I would say it's a great title for adults who want a realistic reminder of what it was like when we were children.
If you want a break from all the non stop violent action and soul crushing drama that exists in more suspenseful titles, but still want a light-hearted "challenge me so that I can grow" sort of story, I would be hard pressed to think of a better title than this. I read that Ryza no Atelier is based off of a video game, and I have never played it. Idk if that is why it has such a low rating, because it's a game title. But I gave it an 8/10 as just an anime title and not a video game, and I couldn't give you a single complaint that I didn't like about the show.
