| Well, it looks like Sarasa can do more than just store management and alchemy. She can fight too and needs to if she wants to help people, including her customers. I must say, she's quite brave for someone who is on a new adventurer. Managing a shop isn't easy etiher for someone of her experience. |
 |
| Well the girl Iris was saved but more trouble came with her than expected still Sarasa made a good name in the village by defeating all those bears. Still the girls managed to get a pretty big debt and i wonder how they are going to pay for that. Money isn't the most important thing tho and i guess this could result in a nice friendship. |
| We continue the emergency form the last week, a girl with a torn arm showed up, along with her companions, who seem fond of her, mainly the elf girl and the stylish beard guy tho. But fortunately they come to the house of our heroine, who can heal any wound. But, now the group needs to pay for the treatment ... a lot of money, which they don't have ... well, time to hit the streets girls, i mean kill some bears. |
 |
| Sarasa is doing such amazing job. I'm glad Iris was saved. Nice fight with the bears. |

| When an alchemist is stronger than an adventurer. No wonder alchemist is so respected in this world... |
| The animation is disappointingly fast paced but I still enjoyed this episode because of the supporting characters having their own VA's and helping (a bit) our cute and lovely Sarasa-chan. We finally got to have the 2 new members for Sarasa's circle. The Archer, Kate and the Assassin?, Iris from the OP. This series really reminds me of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, they animated it lightheartedly. Great and lovely character designs (especially the girls) but the frames were lacking even if I watched it in 2K... OwO |

| 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. |
| the episode was fine but man, there was that 1 thing that made it super bad the fact that they killed all the bears without touching any of them. they jumped in -> 1 frame of a slash -> bear dropped dead super weird after showing Sarasa dissecting that 1 bear, full of blood |
 |
| Something dark is going on with the alchemist |
 |
| Am so glad Sarasa managed to save Iris's life and she looked so badass flying in and saving her friend from the bears |
| Sarasa has bear parts for days, i love the way she got stuck into the first one Boss fight = rarer parts so good job she decapitated it to preserve as much as possible |
| Sarasa's first duty to save an injured adventurer (Iris) from almost being slained by a monster, a flaming grizzly bear to be exact, and its tedious work using medicine and artifacts that amount to the same as a life saved that takes manhours just to concoct medicine. A good thing that Iris Lotze managed to recover nicely, though the cost would be a magnitude to cover that Sarasa didn't mention out of goodwill. This Hellflame Grizzly is a cause for concern, and that requires more ingredients, so the alchemist is accompanied by adventurers...to display her OP self, which NGL, feels weird that she's just completed her sword training with Master Ophelia the episode before, and jumped levels beyond to warn the village of a potential monster attack from the hellflame grizzlies. Too little time, and too late to ever make a calculated move, and Sarasa joins the fray being part-alchemist, part-adventurer in the fight against the roaming hellflame grizzlies, which she slays to hopefully earn enough money out from livestock. Something about this tells me that the direction this is going is kinda wishy-washy... |

| I didn't expect a moeblob anime to give a speech that stinks of big pharma price inflating excuses |
| Went from relaxing slice of life to full blown action in minutes didn't it... |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Didn't expect Sarasa to be a battle alchemist. Great episode. But I’m just interested if anyone reading the original, info about future event - |

| 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. |
| Sarasha can do so many things, hope she can get the money back by collecting the bears' materials, also funny that she just says "I may just turn them into materials". |
 |
| Ok like I don't know why they decided that a flaming bear invasion was a good idea since it was quite off-putting. And this ep was just so all over the place. I might give this one more chance but by now I have doubts that this is gonna be bearable. |
| Uh, at least she could save that girl but of course she also needs money to live even though it's urgency it's normal that they have to pay after that. Anyway these fire grizzly are still annoying and good thing they managed to clear the town from them after luring them and Sarasa saved everyone xD She's stronger than expected |
 |
| There were some nice action scenes in this episode that managed to convey very well just how powerful Sarasa really is. And that part with Sarasa gruesomely gathering parts from the bear was pretty funny. It also looks like Sarasa honestly laying down the reasons as to why an alchemist shouldn't just help people for free rustled some jimmies among certain people, hilarious! |
| Truly fast paced. With this vol 1 is over. Wish they spend a bit more time developping the world instead of going straight into action. The reason Sarasa had those potion was because it was a gift from her master, there's no way she could have made them after getting broke buying all those tome in ep 1 lol. Hell this episode makes it looks like sarasa haven't even started business, how did she makes those potion? iirc she was actually already doing business wayyy before Iris came over but well the anime just had to quicken the pace. Animation was a bit all over the place too. A bit disappointing but now that I've seen the studio I should have expected it. The anime is shaping up to be as mediocre as the WN, hopefully since this is adapting the LN I hope there will be a few more surprise like ep 1. |
| This took a turn from comfy to intense real quick. First I’m glad Iris was saved, love blue hair waifus, and we also witnessed that Sarasa is absolutely busted thanks to Ophelia’s training, I definitely didn’t see that coming from a character like Sarasa lol, she’s every class type poured into one. And her dissecting that hellfire grizzly was also unexpected, this definitely seemed like a more lighthearted show but that was surprisingly bloody lol, I don’t mind it but rip any Japanese kid that was scarred watching it. And while parts of the episode looked a bit poor animation and art wise, that bit where Sarasa fought the boss grizzly had some really nice animation, ENGI is good at doing bursts of great animation lol. And I’m convinced at this point we’ll never get the ED, maybe one day lol, or maybe it’ll always be played over a scene. |

| This episode just seemed really dumb compared to the others. I didn't know she was insanely over powered and could take down bears. I thought she was just supposed to be an alchemist. The way they dealt with the bears was also weird. After just a bit of training they could take them out. Just seemed a bit random to have the threat of the bears and then deal with it so easily. |
 |
| This was a bit of a strange episode with Sarasa appearing overpowered as she was taking down grizzly bears down by herself and the first one without the use of her sword. Regarding saving Iris, I figure Iris can work for Sarasa to help pay off the debt, Kate too for that matter. I was forgetting there are adventure/action aspects to this show and that its not just a SoL as shown on the genre section here on MAL. |

Strange Episode Indeed or should I say cringey when she can butcher that bear without even staining blood LMAO Even what's was the point of the traps when she can one slash her enemies. 20 bears should've been a breeze Then there was that: I'd need people to carry ingredients gathered Also her having a freaking bag that can almost carry everything Utterly disappointed I thought this was gonna give off some refreshing episodes. Welp that was just my expectations leaning on SOL side I forgot there was also that adventure genre |
| I was not expecting to see great sakuga in this series lol. Seeing sarasa take out the bears was actually crazy. Cool to see her combat abilities |
 |
| not a bad episode, and i still kept thinking Sarasa is Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura lol she really reminds me of her lol |

| 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 |
| surprised at the amount of bear gore shown in this show. the two adventurers now have a 20 million debt, and Sarasa is going bankrupt (lol). Hopefully, the bear parts obtained from the battle can help compensate. this and Bocchi are the shows I'm enjoying the most this new season. looking forward to next week! |
| oh my! it is a mass kumaMASSacre! 3/5. oh man female MC is a warrior! ruthless! |
 |
| Her treatment cost 20,000,000 lol. She gonna be working for a while to pay that off. Action was a bit of a hit and miss. Felt low budget at times, cutting away from when the weapon connected and other times felt alright like when she versed the boss. But to be honest its a slice of life anime so its not really a focus anyway. (Unless they keep having action throughout) I liked the serious/evil version of the MC that appeared for a split second towards the end. Hope we see her go balistic at some point in the future. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 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. |
| Wtf was that? An alchemist beating up monsters better than adventurers? Iirc, she just had her sword training with her master last episode. I didn't expect her to develop her swordsmanship/combat ability this much within a short span of time. |
   |
| I need a scene where the injured cannot pay and Sarasa lets them die. God it would be so based. |
| Ms. Sarasa's speed was like LLENN from SAO Gun Gale Online, she's is brave. |
     |
| Since when this Anime turned into Attack on Flaming Bears.. all you need is the theme song and we're all set. |
