The TV anime adaptation of the popular game Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, developed by Gust and published by Koei Tecmo, has released its second PV, showcasing the adventures that await the protagonist Ryza and her companions. The anime is produced by LIDENFILMS, which is also working on highly anticipated series such as Tokyo Revengers, Goblin Slayer II, and Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan. The anime is scheduled to premiere on July 1.

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout is a story about a young girl named Reisalin Stout, also known as Ryza, who dreams of exploring the world beyond her small home on Kurken Island with her friends Tao and Lent. When they become the apprentices of skilled alchemist Empel and his bodyguard Lila during a trip to the mainland, they befriend Klaudia and improve their crafting skills. However, an estranged childhood friend named Bos plots to wrongly accuse Empel and Lila of causing problems on the island due to jealousy towards their achievements.

Bos' schemes lead the party to pursue him to an alternate realm where they discover the truth behind the origin of Kurken Island and threats of invasion by an ancient force called “Philuscha.” Eventually, Bos reconciles with Ryza's party and joins them to make amends for the wrongdoings of his family. After successfully stopping the invasion, each member of Ryza's party takes their separate ways, with Ryza staying on the island to prepare for future adventures.
