Reviews

Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky received mixed to moderately positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds an average rating of 6.0/10, reflecting a blend of appreciation for its artistic style and narrative pacing, as well as criticism for some plot predictability and slower character development. Reviewers on MyAnimeList mention that the series has "a relaxing atmosphere with exquisite backgrounds and a soothing soundtrack," praising the dynamic between the two leads, Escha and Logy, as a highlight. However, some critics pointed out that the story sometimes feels "light on conflict" and "lacking deeper tension," which might not appeal to those seeking more intense drama or action. Anime News Network gave it a modest review commenting, "While charming and visually engaging, the show struggles to maintain momentum beyond its initial episodes." Overall, fans of the original game and those who enjoy fantasy slice-of-life anime are likely to find Atelier Escha & Logy a delightful watch, though it may not be as compelling for viewers looking for high-stakes drama or complex storytelling.
