Interesting that they would decide to do an anime of this Atelier rather than do an anime of Ayesha when that first came out. Gokumi seems to be a decent enough studio as well, so this might turn out to be a pretty good adaptation.
I'm liking the series thus far. Man, that song that plays whenever God is on the phone is hilarious.
The game seems to be shaping up pretty well after seeing people getting used to the mechanics on the stream. Seems like they are planning for a decently-sized roster as well. And a game that lets you kick the crap out of Kirino can't be all that bad.
It's certainly animated extremely well, but this anime doesn't appear to be up my alley from what I've seen. Our two lead characters aren't really all that great and the love polygon is already obvious from the first episode. Also, Akari is an idiot.
I haven't read the novels or manga so I really hope the OP is a red herring and didn't just spoil a major relationship change that happens in the series. Aside from that, it seems a good start to this series.
Watched the first episode and I couldn't help but think it would be nice if the "stupidity" wasn't always in our faces.
On another note, the animators couldn't seem to make up their minds about how thick to make the character outlines.

Finally finished this series. Good ending to a good series. Rei did seem to get the worst end of the stick, but it turned out well enough in the end. And Kou discovers Marin's shady past.

Saori gets no rejection scene though. What the hell?Saori's unique in that she's the only girl who never took an interest in Kyousuke. She is easily one of the best girls though, dem spiral glasses.
Except the last couple episodes were pretty much going through a checklist to make sure Kyousuke rejected all the girls... And the lack of a Saori rejection makes Saori's flirting during the "apartment party" all the more awkward.
I'll probably get a 2DS sometime. The 3D is a neat feature, but I couldn't ever see myself using it too much. The larger form factor is good for me since my hands always felt somewhat cramped holding my DS. Looks like it might also be a bit better if set on a table while playing a very touch-oriented game. I don't travel much, so I usually play my portables at home, though it's not like something that's smaller than a tablet is hard to carry around.

There are people who edited their saves to OP themselves and caused corrupted save data that affected other online players. If you resurrected one of these Japanese players with hacked equipment/stats it would corrupt your save file. They basically hex-edited their saves but there were problems. Something like setting the damage to really high or defense really high would result in negative values. SO, what happened was these players were taking higher damage and doing less damage than normal stats do because there is a cap and they broke that. The last patch fixed a few things. People can't max their durability on items to 9999 and it is now capped to 4000-ish. You also can't max out defense to 255 on any piece of def gear.
I haven't figured out what has been corrupting people's save files, but I doubt it's the hacked equipment. Hacked equipment would merely freeze the game pre-patch when selected. It didn't have anything to do with breaking any caps as far as I'm aware. If it did, my game would've blown up the moment I was partnered with the hacking players. The hacked equipment pre-patch would have 9 attributes on them, but the most normal equipment can have is 8. A normal 8-attribute item obtained via Bury will have "(Cannot be repaired)" as the 9th attribute. However, with hacked equipment that attribute gets placed into a "10th" attribute slot. The game possibly gets stuck in a loop trying to access the 10th slot since the item data says it's there, which might be why the music and other things in the background continue to operate normally.
The respec potions are also like any other item in that they are shared between characters.
The patch came out today, really helps speeds things up with people no longer having to click the sparkles and L1 being an item shortcut. Hacked items are sort of fixed. The one I had from some JP player's bones no longer freezes when I highlight it, but the attributes still displayed absurd percentages like "Damage Taken -407%".

I'm currently on Hard at Level 50. Is it possible to get to 99 without going to multiplayer? A lot of my PSN friends told me the easiest way is to chain run LoC with them but my internet has been awful lately. I often get disconnected at random intervals.I'm using an Elf and she's been pretty versatile. Clonestrike and mid-air charged shots are my best friends but going solo at Hard has been pretty challenging. I'm afraid Inferno might be too much when played solo.
It's better to do chain runs of the usual dungeons at the highest difficulty possible with the highest increase score prayer rather than doing LoC. You shouldn't be having much trouble if you go solo Elf. I went solo Elf with little issue in Hard since at Lv.35+ her skills really let her power through things.
