Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout the Animation - S01

Reisalin "Ryza" Stout lives an ordinary life on Kurken Island, far from the excitement she craves. Though she comes from a family of farmers, she spends her days dreaming of adventure and exploring every inch of the island-much to the disapproval of the locals, who frown on leaving its shores. Tired of the same dull routine, Ryza sneaks away with her two closest friends: Tao Mongarten, a studious bookworm, and Lent Marslink, a young warrior-in-training. Their journey takes them to a nearby forest, where they meet Klaudia Valentz, the daughter of a traveling merchant who has also wandered off on her own. But their carefree exploration takes a dangerous turn when they encounter hostile monsters. Just in time, the alchemist Empel Vollmer and his formidable bodyguard, Lila Decyrus, come to their rescue. This meeting marks the beginning of a new path for Ryza-one that introduces her to the boundless possibilities of alchemy and forever changes her life.
