Bio said: I know you know what an alchemist is, Japan, so what is she doing being a battlemage incomparably stronger than all the muscular adventurers in town? You'd think this was an isekai. And I'd be fine with the main being greedy as a character flaw, but that speech was terrible. That's enough of this show. I think they are half basing their image of alchemists on Atelier Ryza where the main character really is that over the top in combat capability. |

forgot to post this. Just a day after watching bear massacre of episode 3, this is the snack that our maid buy from the store. lol |
| I really like all these girls :). Also Serasa has an inner psycho inside her it seems |

| Based on the opening, I genuinely thought the blue haired girl and her friend would be her bodyguard after they're saved. But then she proceed to solo the bear on her own. She even soloed the boss like kirito. It comes with a cost ofc, she can't repeatedly use it. But considering that she's an alchemist that's plenty op already. Or maybe all alchemist in this anime are just that strong? I'm confused. |

| Shitty show but Sarasa attacking bears was nice sakuga. |

Magesuit said: Some people seem really upset at Sarasa for stating the cold hard facts of life. Looking at how much it cost to get the bear mauled girl back into tip top shape she would rapidly go out of business if she did not get paid for it. Leaving the next who knows how many sick people to just die since there is no one to help them. And I guess this shows why the government was trying to get an alchemist out there they are a combination Hospital/national guard post. The problem is about lecturing countrymen about prices in exchange for services (f*ck they aren't Homer Simpson, they understand how services has a price) and her soliloqui about the cost of a life isn't neither the time nor place to have it when there's a mauled girl in critical condition. She could have kept it short and warn them that it would come with a high price. The way she comes up with prices is completely absurd, it's like an even more cartoonish example of Pfizer expected profits for covid shots next year. She babbles about short supply of resources, but it goes completely against the premise on why she's even out there on the sticks where magical herbs exist in abundance. I'm all up for traders to set up their prices based on knowledge/experience, ingredients scarcity and how much time and or resources it took them to get them. But as far as we know Sarasa could have harvested all those ingredients from her own backyard and/or in the close forest vecinity in a day or two and probably processed the complete potions in less than a day using her magic that so far only has a toll when she goes in full super sayan and kills dozens of bears. |

| There was nothing I saw wrong with her speech at all. Offering to treat for free sets a bad precedent. It would chain react and her chances of getting paid would be slim to none due to that expectation. That type of slippery slope would destroy her business. Even if someone's life is on the line, she's in no way obligated to save it if she can't receive compensation for it. She's not a charity worker. |
callmethebigG said: DarkDooM2 said: So first thing on the menu when a dying person is lying in front of you is talking about money? Yeah I'm with those 2 adventurers here, that's fucking scummy. It becomes even more obvious when Iris immediately offered her help in defending the village without asking for pay. Y'know, because people's lives are at stake. The author trying to make Sarasa out to be the good guy here by going out of the way to have the 2 adventurers abandon the village to basically force the viewer to regard them as irredeemable scum is just horrible writing. Also, suddenly making Sarasa into a one man army when she's supposed to be just a simple alchemist... was that really necessary? Why did it feel like I'm suddenly watching a fucking battle shounen? I liked the first 2 episodes, but this one brought me very close to dropping this shite. Ferelimp said: Why did episode 3 turn into trying to morally justify a system that fuels privatized healthcare. There are even government subsidies in the first episode that allow her to even get the shop in the country. and they try to make the 2 who are like why are you talking about money right now when this woman is dying the assholes. People need to get paid for work, but trying to use that morality in a bet to reinforce privatized healthcare is fucked up. Health care workers need to get paid, and people need health care. THATS WHY TAXES ARE PAID. If the government doesnt do it theres no reason to have one, its not doing its job if its not providing this basic social service I definitely see y'alls point but what Sarasa says about putting a price for Iris's life is right. If she saves this girl for free and the shop goes under, who would be there to save the adventurers who need help in the future? Healthcare is a privilege that we are lucky to enjoy, but the fact of the matter is that it costs money and someone is going to have to pay. I doubt that she is overcharging them (as it probably costs a ton of money to reattach a person's arm) and I also think that we don't know enough about the culture of this world to make any assumptions. Should Sarasa be required to provide healthcare for free just because she can? Its as Andre said to those 2 guys "would you just give away the stuff you worked so hard to gather just to be nice?" It is definitely true, people should be paid for their work. But there is a system that is provided by governments to not make the price of a life outweigh the work necessary to save it. The people who depend on that service are not the ones who should pay it when their lives depend on it. Not every country has this, and its fucked up, because the government has very few jobs to the public, social security, healthcare, and infrastructure. There are foreign affairs as well, but if the government is not providing social security like that then its cutting the very foundation of its own existence. Japan being deep within privatized healthcare, to the point of people getting murdered after mild injuries to avoid paying for health care, its a pretty fucked up sentiment to push out into the public |

| EZ fixing a cut off arm, just do Alchemy. Also, more CORPA at work, fucking monarchy system. Bad enough in episode 1 that nobles gets a free ride to get high level jobs. Now episode 2 reveals that this world has no hospital system and everyone that's poor literally just dies cause they can't afford treatments... (as Sarasa mentioned that the decision to saving a life is literally based on how the Alchemist felt like it... if they don't feel like they can get money, BAM, DEAD) (they just got lucky that Sarasa is a fairly nice girl, tho she's kinda greedy at times, that would help people first before money) (tho Sarasa still end up wanting the full amount to be paid, just over time) ___ ___ ___ Also... Sarasa dissecting that bear... ripping the eyes out like that, LOL... this girl is hardcore. But kinda makes sense as she's trained by that "MASTER" (and looks like Sarasa is 15, I was almost right, and I guess 15 is an adult in their world, since they get out of school at 15 and starts working) BTW... how the hell did Iris lost her arm in the first place by a single bear... if she could cut down like 5 FRICKING BEARS... did Iris suddenly get stronger out of nowhere after getting Alchemied? lol Well, Sarasa goes full combat mode on that boss bear and kill it with ease. Also, did they have to make the bear "whimper" as it tries to run away from Sarasa?... thought they're suppose to be in "frenzy"... having them whimper means the bears retain their sanity... and isn't actually in Frenzy... meaning they were out-right murdered by Sarasa even tho they probably weren't even heading toward the village at first, they were lured to the village... Nice Justified Murder right there. (Lures Bear into village, "the Bear attacked the village, so now we must kill them") ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ This series seems to have some plotholes, possibly the reason for low community discussions and popularity... The arts cute tho (except for some oba-sans with weird looking face shapes) |

| I only expected Sarasa to be very knowledgeable (like her plan to save the village) but her singlehandedly defeating bunch of grizzlies was a suprise. Also while being upfront about the costs is not wrong, it certainly was annoying how she kept asking every damn second with the patient being on the brink of death. |
 |
| Hilarious how so many people are siding with the two gatherer guys. All Sarasa did was warn them that the medicine she will use for the treatment will be very expensive. They literally tried to guilt her into shouldering the cost for it instead of agreeing to pay for it themselves. Yeah lets side with the two grown ass men who want to rob this 15yo girl lol. She isn't running a charity nor does she rake in billions of gold coins in profit, price gouging. The comparison to the big pharma does not make sense at all. |

| She takes out the eyes of the bear so easily... She doesn't feel anything :)) |

| campy, weird. couldn't she transport the red eyeball to her master and she'd know what was going on and be there in three days to help? or like she said before, a letter? i mean it wasn't bad per se, but it certainly was sloppy. |

Fail_Man_X said: The guy I quoted literally said that some people believe it should be free lol.akihikosama said: No one thinks that health care should be free. There are just people in the US that wonder why their healthcare system doesn't operate the way it does in Canada or most of Europe or even Japan. If the series' author suddenly had a medical emergency, I assure you his bill wouldn't be 20,000,000 yen. Another thing that wouldn't happen would be for the doctor treating him to bring up his bill before rendering treatment. That's not how doctors operate, especially during a life-or-death emergency. Furthermore, that scene only exists to remind the audience that that medicine costs money and that Sarasa is running a business. Like...yeah, duh, but I guess it's necessary for younger viewers who don't understand how hospitals work. Because, ultimately, she doesn't collect payment before treating Iris. In fact, she only gives the exact cost the next day, and they still can't afford it.It would be nice if the world worked like that but unfortunately the medicine used to heal the girl doesn't just appear out of nowhere like magic.

Fail_Man_X said: Not sure which part the confusion came from. I sided with Sarasa from the very start, what she did made sense to me. akihikosama said: It seemed like you were agreeing with him, but if not, my bad. I should have just quoted him instead.The guy I quoted literally said that some people believe it should be free lol. |

Fail_Man_X said: I actually went back and rewatched that part before making my initial reply. akihikosama said: The second half of my initial response addressed that. I don't think anyone, not even the bozos from the show, believe she shouldn't be paid for her services (though she technically did treat Iris for free), but to continuously harp on how expensive it is when Iris is on the verge of death is incredibly tone deaf. It's a pretty dumb scene and is only there to make the two guys seem unreasonable, but it fails at even that because the author doesn't understand proper bedside manner.Not sure which part the confusion came from. I sided with Sarasa from the very start, what she did made sense to me. Sarasa initially brought up the topic of the cost because she was trying to explain that there are two options; just saving her life or a complete recovery where her arm gets reattached. Bringing this up makes complete sense to me because the patent should have an option in what procedure they receive and how much debt they are willing to take on. The two guys didn't even let her finish explaining this and made a ruckus about money. The second time the topic of money came up was when Sarasa's assistant didn't know which potion was the "Stamina Recovery Potion" she was asked to bring, Sarasa clarified that it was the more expensive one of the two that she was holding. In this case the Gatherer Guys didn't have any excuse to butt in at all because this was a conversation between the doctor and assistant about what needs to be used during a procedure that already started. The fact that the Gatherer Guys had to butt in into that conversation just showed that money was a big factor to THEM. In my eyes they were the hypocrites, money this money that every time they opened their mouth. The only thing I didn't think was necessary is for Sarasa to explain to them that she shouldn't be the one to shoulder the cost for the treatment she is offering. IMO she should have just kicked them out the moment that she started the treatment. |
