Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S-Rank ni Natteta

This anime/manga could be resumed in one line. "Do the simple but well made." S-Rank Musume have a very simples RPG enviroment, nothing special, only stoytelling with a good quality and patience world building, unfortunately the anime had a "ok" animation, with some good animations on fight scenes but being only carried by the story. The main characters evolving in this 12 episodes was very well made, you can see from the first to the last how Belgrieve changed a lot because of his daughter. I think that the greatest point of this story it's that don't follow others "Adoptive father" animes/mangas, I'm very happy to see another story were I would't be angry with a "after so much years in the future they married" like UchiMusume. Story : 9 Characters : 8 World Building : 10 VA's : 9 Animation : 6

I won't take your time too long, so... Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S-Rank ni Natteta is a story about the importance of family. In contrast to the current extreme feminist offensive in real life, the authors of this story show how important the father's role is in parenting and in his attitude towards children, especially daughters. This not only provides support and shapes morality, but also prevents the emergence of pathologies. This anime beautifully made me believe that there are still normal people in this world and they remember about life facts. Moreover, the whole storyline is told in a very pleasant way. The portrayal of the characters is interesting and each subsequent episode of this anime is a great pleasure to watch. After each plot, there remains a delicate note of curiosity about what is hidden behind the characters, so I count it as a pros as a plot depth. The sound and animation art have their own style, but they are neither tragic nor revolutionary. The most important thing is that it constantly maintains one established fine level. Thanks to this, the presented anime creates one coherent image. To sum up, I recommend this anime. Despite the certain overall simplicity, I give it a high rating of 9/10, because I really have nothing to be angry about and it was just a good relax for me as viewer.

My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer - Once again, the typically unnecessarily long LN titles have the premise...that even if they don't sound cool on paper, their execution is rather finicky. In this Fall season, where there is no shortage of "found abandoned children" anime like Dekoboko Majo no Oyako Jijou a.k.a The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch, author Mojikakiya's only series, titled Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S-Rank ni Natteta (or S-Rank Musume for short), is the most apparent of sticking to its true guns of an adult stranger taking care of abandoned children, therefore making those adults their parental figures in their growing-up years. And even though the anime shows a portion of the already completed Syosetu WN and 11-volume LN that spans from February 2018 to November 2021, it's definitely a slice of that pie in both good and bad ways. The protagonist, or rather, the formal parental figure, Belgrieve, is once known as one of the S-Rank adventurers, often called the Red Ogre due to his red hair and ogre-like stature that people would fear fighting him for. But when he gets into a scuffle where he loses his right leg in the process, Bel knows that his adventurous time has already passed its peak and has decided to retire to a small, secluded village where he'll spend his days in the countryside resting till his natural demise. But just when he thinks that his adventuring days are over, apart from gathering herbs and defeating beasts, he somehow finds an abandoned child, and out of his compassion, he brings her back to his hometown to be raised. Time passes, and the protagonist's successor, Angeline, has grown into a mature girl who has become the aforementioned top-tier S-Rank adventurer in her own right, nicknamed the Black-Haired Valkyrie. But her wish, as opposed to Belgrieve's fame and fortune, is that she will always want nothing more than to see her guardian father after every expedition. Talk about being a dad-con in the most childlike (or sometimes, childish) of ways. I'm not gonna lie: when it comes to the parental aspect, I truly adore the father-daughter relationship of Belgrieve and Angeline, other than the latter's perspective of always being too attached to the former and always wanting his love more than anything. I'm not saying that it's wrong to love your parents (as we all ought to do), but Ange's attachment to Belgrieve can over time feel very forced. As much as it is being a loving family from the outset, her obsession can be seen as one of "needless" fervor for end objectives. A crazed daughter being a yandere of sorts for her father for no matter how long the duration they're separated? That's quite the "unique" fascination that this show has going for it. Otherwise, S-Rank Musume is just your typical slice-of-life show of the usual fantasy adventures ranging from normal daily life to defeating evildoers. As Ange tags along with her best friends of mage Miriam and warrior Anessa, they are a party of exceptional and strong young women who have earned themselves in the same position as said S-Rank hero. With their names known far and wide, there will always be space for evil to do their usual acts, and for the most part, Ange can stop with ease given her high-ranked status; that's just the par for the course. The other characters are just like what you would find in typical normal MMORPGs, being most akin to NPCs, who act like side quests to grow Ange's relationship with as many people as possible, since this is such easy-going source material that the importance is only slain on Ange, always making sure that her final objective is to go back home and embrace her father. It's a rather simple plot, and it does work fine, but you're not going to get serious issues (apart from thwarting evil) that are life-threatening whatsoever, which does make the plot feel dry. After the rather relative success of Kanojo ga Kōshaku-tei ni Itta Riyū a.k.a Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion earlier this Spring, the 3rd-rate studio Typhoon Graphics is back once again on the animation side of things, though the production is rather iffy, if not mediocre at best. I never once saw Typhoon Graphics as a studio that's capable of ever producing action-heavy shows (Raeliana was never one of them), and it really shows in S-Rank Musume that if this is the best that the rather small studio can muster, then future shows produced by them will always look mediocre at best. Despite having episode director Naoki Murata and storyboarder-cum-chief director Takeshi Mori, both of whom are anime veterans, they did their best, but no amount of effort is going to hide the fact that the anime will always look so drab and lifeless, almost as if there is little to no soul in it. And then, there's the music. Since her departure from fripSide last year, Yoshino Nanjo has since been earning even less accreditation for her music composition, which would've made little to no difference had she stayed on in the lucrative group. Also, I'd expect as much from Nagi Yanagi's ED song being very much in her typical wheelhouse. Both OP and ED songs were average to decent. If S-Rank Musume was a rather simple but wholesome show to just watch without any expectations, then I'd say that its pretty much mission accomplished. But if you're expecting the usual mix that is typically prevalent in fantasy stories such as this, then it's only going to disappoint you that there is no drive to its story and plot (which the show realistically doesn't need to have), then it's just a rather subpar effort. Ultimately, I leave this show hanging on both corners and come to the conclusion that if the familial story is what you're not after, then the show is just bare bones on many levels. Love it or hate it, S-Rank Musume is simultaneously both a delight...and a chore to sit through.

Another fantasy world filled with monsters, adventures and a girl with a way too big dad complex. In this show we follow a father daughter duo, where the dad is a former adventurer and the daughter is a S-rank adventurer. We see here how they both get involved in different problems, both big and small, where they sometimes are together and other times apart. This also introduces different side characters for each of them, which sometimes crosses over. For the plot development is there generally a clear progression, where the plot builds up the world and helps expand the viewers perspective on the world. The plot in itself is very simple though, and does not come with a lot of twists or surprises. This doesn’t necessarily make the plot bad, but it just seems very stereotypical and kinda basic. When it comes to the characters is there little to no development, where the most development is seen in some of the side characters. While the daughter seems rather stagnant in her development and the father has a small amount of character progression. The show still explores the characters, but this is done in a very limited amount, and still leaves room for improvement. The animation and voice acting in the show seems very much on par with the standard of the current time, but doesn’t bring anything new or special to the table. The relationship between the two main characters is also very special, where the dad seems rather normal, and the daughter is very clingy. This can sometimes become a bit too much, where the daughter's clinginess goes to extreme degree, and sets a very weird kind of mood for the show. Overall is it a stereotypical fantasy action anime with some rather stagnant characters. But if you really like fantasy and just want more of it, is this a fine watch, otherwise would i recommend you watch something else.

Watching My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer can be best described as a heartwarming experience as it unites a family together. Sure, it's not a nuclear family unification that calls of a massive celebration. However, it does set the tone of the overall story together between our two main characters - Angeline and Belgrieve. Based on the light novel of the same name, I will say that you don't need to put too much thought into going into this show despite the somewhat complicated synopsis. What you do need to know is the background of Belgrieve and how he became who he is today. Life in an unpredictable world is harsh and he learns it the hard way. Despite the hardship Belgrieve has went through, he establishes himself as a formidable adventurer capable of handling himself and even protect villages on his own turf. There's no doubt taht Belgrieve represents the role of a guardian and even moniker 'Red Ogre', nicknamed by Angeline herself. Similar to her father, Angeline adapts a work ethic that pushes herself to become what she is in the present. She wants to prove to herself and Belgrieve that she is worthy of being his daughter. This is where the core of the show is known for - a father and daughter relationship. It's formulaic with recurring gags most noticably for Angeline's behavior. She's essentially protrayed as 'daddy's little girl' and acts such so. Some might call this pattern as insufferable to watch while others will label it as a charming relationship. Regardless, it is what it is. The story structure, meanwhile transitions between the two main characters. Sometimes, we get to see Angeline's side of the story while other times, it follows Belgrieve and his everyday adventures. It retains a similar tone for both sides while adapting a different tone at times. For instance, Angeline's side can sometimes revolves around her hanging out with friends and enjoying time together. Belgrive on the other hand is more of a lone wolf, who observes from afar but nonetheless helpful towards others he meets. Adapting both side of the story fully embraces itself as an adventure with an acceptable cast of characters. Unfortunately, supporting characters is mostly overshadowed by our two main leads. Characters such as Miriam, Marguerite, Mit, Charlotte, among others really can't hold a handle to either Angeline or Belgrieve in terms of characterization. The lack of their background story or development doesn't necessary hurt their characters but they are far from being superstars in the show. In fact, there's no real superstar carrying this anime. It's instead, a lighthearted fantasy adventure with the occasional high stake battles thrown in. Even so, it adapts a fairly light toned adventure that mostly loves its relationship between Belgrive and Angeline. And don't get the wrong idea, this isn't some bizarre romance either. It's more an old fashioned relationship between two close family members. You shouldn't expect to also jump into this show to be blown away from its animation quality. Typhoon Graphics doesn't exactly set the industry standard but adapting from the light novels, the character designs looks similar. The most noticable characteristics is the emotive reactions from our cast, most noticably Angeline. The balance between her expressions ranging from a battle harden adventurer to daddy's little girl is striking. Belgrive mentains a similar range of tone throughout the series, protrayed as a mature father who loves his daughter. There's no right or wrong way to watch this anime but don't get misunderstood by some of the tones in the show. This anime adapts a charming relationship that we should accept and learn from. It's family love that loves what it does for its own characters.

Fun and heatwarming slop. Sure, it's not going to win any awards, and the production quality is clearly limited by budget. But it's a heartwarming story about a family, and the challenge of balancing being a hero with having a family life. The characters are fun and well-developed (for a fantasy slice-of-life at least), the world and story are vibrant and engaging. True, nothing really stands out as great or spectacular, and the daughter's obsession with her father could be grating if you don't feel the comedy in it, but it's a solid and entertaining show. I found myself wanting a sequel immediately after finishing, and it's disappointing there's no word on one. It's not the greatest show in any category by a long shot, but if you are even slightly interested or intrigued by the premise, or just need something lighthearted or heartwarming to watch, then this more than satisfies.

S-Rank Musume is a wholesome fantasy adventure that is dragged down by its mediocre production values and a larger story that is left unexplored and confusing. Animation / Art / General Visuals - 6/10 ----------------------------------------------- While the art as a whole is generally fine, the weak animations put a damper on the numerous action scenes, robbing them of any serious weight. The action which should break up the slice of life, struggles to achieve its purpose as it's simply not exciting enough to look forward to. Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 7/10 ------------------------------------------ Pretty solid stuff. Nothing remarkable but nothing to bother you either. Story - 7/10 ------------- The story is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand we have a wholesome family dynamic between a father and his daughter, and on the other, we have a grander fantasy storyline of demon kings and monsters, political drama and so on. The father-daughter dynamic receives a good amount of attention and is quite nice and wholesome. The larger fantasy storyline however is poorly developed and confusing. Not much is explained, which creates this weird clash of themes within the show where you'll be enjoying the father-daughter dynamic, only to suddenly be greeted with poor action scenes of fighting against monsters or political opponents whose motivations aren't clear and who just seem annoying more than anything. Characters - 7/10 --------------------- Characters aren't particularly noteworthy. The father being the better of the bunch, showcasing adorable fatherly love and care towards his daughter, as well as care and loyalty for the village they live in, and its people. The father is smart and strong, while lacking any ambitions that might generate an ego. He's humble and non-confronting where possible. Daughter is more of a mixed bag. While loving his father dearly is a nice dynamic, she is utterly obsessed with him to the point of becoming distracting and silly. A 17 year old girl latching onto his dad for a better part of a day is borderline crazy. Other supportive characters lack any serious depth, though at least they aren't annoying. --- Total - 7/10 --- S-Rank Musume is a fine fantasy adventure story with a lovely family dynamic. However its wholesome slice of life struggles to really keep attention by itself, and the grander fantasy storyline with its monster fighting action isn't done well enough to support it. Fantasy fans will probably enjoy this well enough, but don't expect to be particularly impressed.

ID : Untung banget, awalnya ngira bakal ada incest dan ternyata cuma sekedar hubungan ayah dan anak yang lucu bangets. Grafik dan pembawaan ceritanya santai jadi mudah buat diikutin dan ga yang bertele-tele, mc-nya juga yang lucu kuat banget tapi langsung jadi bocah kalau udah ketemu bapaknya, bener-bener gambarin anak perempuan dan ayah di keluarga. Nyeritain tentang keseharian mereka tu sebenernya inti dari season 1 ini, emang udah dikasih beberapa scene yang ngeliatin ada perihal apa nanti di inti masalah cerita walau masih belum keliatan. Masih banyak misteri juga tentang beberapa character yang belum sama sekali dijelasin dan kalau bakal dilanjutin ke season 2 aku yakin bakal masuk ke inti cerita dan nyeritain siapa character yang cuma muncul beberapa detik doang. Style animasinya juga ga kaku, dan penggambaran ekspresi karakternya juga dapet apalagi pas si Ange ketemu bapaknya. Scene fightnya sih nothing special ya, karna ga terlalu banyak dan kayanya ga fokus banget di grafik pertempurannya. Alur ringan yang cocok ditonton pas santai, aku juga nonton ini iseng jam 11 malem nemu dan nonton, and ofkors enjoy selama nonton. Overall kukasih 7/10 karna emang alur standar yang jalan sesuai dengan ceritanya aja, masih belum ada episode yang menurutku jadi peak si ceritanya mau itu dari MC atau character lain. Semoga bisa lanjut season 2 secepatnya kalau ada chance, karna menurutku ini anime lumayan ada potensi (aku belum baca manga atau light novel btw). 7/10 #AngeCantikPakeGaun ENG : Luckily, I initially thought there would be incest, but it turned out to be just a cute father-daughter relationship. The graphics and story are laid-back, making it easy to follow and not overly long-winded. The main character is also very funny, strong, but immediately becomes a child when he meets his father. It truly depicts the daughter and father in a family. The story of their daily lives is actually the core of season 1. There are several scenes that hint at what will be at the heart of the story, even though it's not yet clear. There are still many mysteries about several characters that haven't been fully explained, and if a season 2 is to continue, I'm sure it will delve into the core of the story and reveal the identity of characters who only appear for a few seconds. The animation style is also not stiff, and the characters' expressions are well-deserved, especially when Ange meets her father. The fight scenes are nothing special, as there aren't many of them, and the battle graphics don't seem to be particularly focused on them. A lighthearted plot that's perfect for relaxing. I also watched this on a whim at 11 PM, stumbled upon it, and enjoyed it. Overall, I give it a 7/10 because it's a standard plot that just flows along with the story. There hasn't been an episode that I think is the peak of the story, whether from the MC or another character. Hopefully, there will be a second season soon if the opportunity arises, because I think this anime has quite a bit of potential (I haven't read the manga or light novel, by the way). 7/10 #AngeCantikPakeGarden

Watched it at double speed and enjoyed it👍. Cool dad. If you watch a lot of isekai/fantasy anime and enjoy them, this is a good slot holder for when you are waiting for your favorite title to get a second season. The main plot with demon king and daughter doesn't concern me. But dad HAS to reunite with his old friends >:( All the young people in this anime are kinda annoying but that help the older characters be that much more interesting and enjoyable. I just want to see more of the dad. And still waiting for that second fight with an S-rank dude.

I had this ridiculously unnecessarily long title under my radar for a while before it aired because it seemed like it would be cute, but I was also worried because, as other manga and anime before it, it could go down a perverse route at any moment, thankfully it didn’t and remained as it began throughout all of its duration. There’s nothing special about the show, it’s a typical lighthearted adventure in a typical fantasy setting with a typical class system that makes you think that the characters are in a videogame. Ok, there is a political plot, and there are powerful demons hidden somewhere affecting the setting in one way or another, but the first is resolved quickly and conveniently, while the second is hardly given much importance, even though it’s hinted that the main girl herself might be another one of those creatures as well, something that the studio seemingly tried to hide by changing a little her original character design. So, there kind of is a plot and some drama, but honestly, the series is at its weakest when it focuses on that, as things are resolved easily and conveniently, so no attempt at a serious plot is believable nor very enjoyable, the show is at its best when it focuses on what the stupid long title tells you, how the main girl, one of the strongest characters in the world, as protagonists end up being a lot of the times, is a daddy’s girl that cares about going back to her father more than anything else, like saving the world or some shit. That’s why coup d’états can be taken down easily, antagonists are defeated almost instantly, and if they are children, they are forgiven instantly for everything they did, and reformed right away. There is some action but honestly that’s weak as hell as well, very short, most of it is kept out of screen and from what I understand heavily shortened and altered from the source material, resulting in some really badly planned, storyboarded and scripted scenes, and since the main characters are so strong, they hardly face any threat. It doesn’t help that for a 2023 anime, the visuals in it just plain suck, very simple character designs, generic even for the girls, very inconsistent quality for the artwork, affecting even the models which go off very often, beautiful backgrounds that are unfortunately also affected at times, very bad motions even during the simplest scenes, very simple and uninteresting directing, and the special effects are just the worst, they look at least two decades old. The audio is good, decent sound effects and ok voice acting, generic but fitting background music, opening and ending that go well with the overall feeling of the show, nothing much to complain or explain in details here. The characters are very one note, they fit within an archetype when they appear and they stay like that for the whole series, at best they get a bit of their backdrop stories revealed but that’s about it. At the end of the day this is a series you watch to casually relax with it, for its lighthearted adventure and laid back feeling, of seeing a strong protagonist being a daddy’s girl, as well as many other girls that for some reason all are needing of some fatherly love, whether because they lost their families or because, well, that’s just how Bel is, always charming everyone with his strength, sword technique, good manners, very respectful and understanding way of speaking, and always helping people, reuniting families, and taking care of children or teenagers. There is some underlying message about how no one is truly naturally evil, and that nurture and how we are helped to control our emotions and redo our lives define how we come out to be, even for the demons, thus making the anime standing on a middle point between the victimized ones from Helck, and the pure evil ones from Sousou no Frieren, both airing in the same season. Thus, the message adds to the feel good type of show it is. If that’s up your alley, despite some very crude visuals, you might have a little good casual time with it, however, if you go into it expecting something like a plot or serious theme exploration or strong characterization in it, you’ll be completely disappointed by it.

At first, I actually dropped this anime because of its lower-budget animation, but I’m so glad I went back and finished it! The story is incredibly wholesome and more than makes up for any visual shortcomings. It really drives home the idea that no matter how strong you are, you’ll always love your papa. While it’s a slower-burn series, I genuinely enjoyed the simplicity of grinding as an adventurer as it gives a surprisingly realistic glimpse into the everyday work of fantasy worlds. Sure, there are still the typical OP characters, but the show layers in a lot of comedy, which makes it feel fresh instead of your usual power fantasy. If you’re looking for a slice-of-life fantasy anime that makes you laugh, warms your heart, and makes you think “aww, that’s cute,” I highly recommend My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned as an S-Rank Adventurer. You can never go wrong with a wholesome fantasy story centered around the bond between a dad and his daughter. Family anime are just the BEST!!!

[An unexpectedly warm and comforting journey for an action-packed fantasy anime. 10/10] Watching My Daughter Left The Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer, I am filled with warmth and love. The family bond displayed in the story is truly like no other - it is so kind, loving, yet rather real. Yet, it is a fantasy anime, where lore, conspiracies, and action scenes fills up the anime with fun. Story: The plot of My Daughter Left The Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer balances simple, mundane slice-of-life with adventurous, rigorous life of adventurers and ex-adventurers along with unique personal back story for each of the character, displaying a multitude of human emotions and growth as a human being. The story displays one-of-a-kind father-daughter bond between the two main characters, yet also the differences in their journey as an adventurer. The villain being one of those given reasonable background is also one of its strong points in plot. Quality: The art... I'd say could be in higher quality. It's somewhat mediocre, but serviceable nevertheless. What's truly lacking are the action scenes. I swear they have such amazing plot that can build up to such fantastic displays of power and desperation, yet they do none of that in their as-if-rushed-to-the-end action scenes. It's a huge disappointment, but I hope you'll give your imagination a chance to further elevate the experience nevertheless. The music, voice acting, and sound effects are okay, nothing special, quite enjoyable. Targeted Audience: Seeker of warmth, but in fantasy anime whose main niche is betrayal and loneliness. My Daughter Left The Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer has impeccable plot that leaves me feeling so peaceful and loved. I really am looking forward to the sequel and closure to the story, hoping that the next one has better budget so it'll be even more beautiful than it already is.

Not just warm and cute but surprisingly wholesome anime about great dad and daughter (and other) relationship(s). Name could be kind of misleading, because this is not the case of overpowered protagonists and heroes lording above any other mortals like some gods. No, this dad and dauther although pretty strong still struggle and sometimes even loose the fight which feels like fresh air in todays anime stereotypes. But fights belongs to worse (because underdeveloped) aspects of this anime. If you want to watch it, do it for displayed relationships, atmosphere and values. Tropes like selfless family love, beauty of quiet life, power of forgiveness, humility and respect often looking flat, boring and preachy elsewhere are natural, with some depth and truly shining here. Its a shame plot is almost non-existent and often rushed which leads to the wasted potential of interesting motives and storylines being solved ridiculously quickly and looking shallow because of it. Closure in the end of the season one is basically missing and last episodes work like one big teaser for season 2 which is understandable strategy but still bad writing for me. Sayori Hayami in her peak form gave Angeline truly angelic voice which is bliss to hear, but cliché really underdeveloped fantasy settings with shallow empty looking lore and overusing some more annoying than funny anime tropes make this anime just fine despite it could be so much more.

I'll start the review from the end - cute anime I expected more... Good idea for an anime, less impressive execution than I thought it would be. The series started off great, its pace is good. I really liked the characters Angie and her father. I didn't feel that there was any development for the characters, even the story of the past was not expanded that much. I really liked the art, character design and animation. I loved the opening song of the anime. I wonder if there will be a second season for the anime and where it will develop if at all..

There are a variety of shortcomings and a variety of good things to say about this show. For the presentation, despite the occasional slideshow tendency, the art style is generally unoffensive and even has a unique style to it with some character designs. The only shortcoming on this front is that some of the CGI can be distracting. That one time with the cubes was a bit weird. The audio is well mixed and doesn't hurt the ears. The plot shifts between relatively lighthearted conversations and an overarching thread in the second half focused on a magical sect. Surprisingly the show does manage to actually provide some stakes for the major battles, but most problems are roundly resolved, with only a few major overarching threads throughout the season. The biggest overarching threat seems to be Angeline's own mental state where she's constantly upset about not being able to see her adoptive father Belgrieve. The show constantly goes through cycles where she leaves, and then she constantly wishes she could be back with him, and circumstances prevent them from meeting, and then they eventually get a chance and she's happy, and so on and so forth. Despite this, the show actually takes its time getting around to it the first time. Most shows would just cut to the chase but this show at least sticks to its guns and really leans into the "Left the Nest" part of it's name. There are some uncomfortable themes in this show. Like many anime, there is a highly idealized father-daughter relationship presented, and it is often presented alongside other discussions that when separate are fine and dandy, but when put together create a concerning contrast. The only example I am willing to give is that Angeline discusses with her friends about bust size and the importance of breasts to a woman's appeal. This, all the while thinking about whether her father is like that, and when she is convinced, she feels defeated and upset because she personally has a flat chest. While it is understandable for a woman to feel upset about not meeting beauty standards, it is the proximity to the discussion about what her father wants that makes the relationship they do have feel a bit uncomfortable, like it is going to go down a "Father-con" route. It has not broached the subject and this season alone nothing technically problematic happens, but this adaptation at least feels like it's leaving the door open to interpretation which may be a negative sign for the future. All in all, I can only tentatively recommend for those who are not sensitive to those themes. If another season comes out and makes it more obvious one way or the other, then I can rest assured more on one side or the other. As it stands, the story is lackluster compared to some big hitters, but it definitely does more than most other fantasy slop. If you can stomach the occasional weird undertones, then you might get something out of this, because there are some good character moments interspersed throughout.

If you are looking for something to watch, I'll recommend this show. If you like fantasy setting, mysterious backstory/unfolding, character development, lowkey characters, looking for parental advice, a slow life that has a methodical story structure and is not too overwhelming to watch, or a show that has a Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash feel, then this might be a show worth giving a try. There might be some zealous characters that might disrupt you from enjoying the show, but they don't mean to harm that much that kill the vibe of the scene. They might did that to balance on character relationships on one and the other. animation wise is feel like a low budget show, but don't get to discourage from watching this show, because it's not that bad is off-putting to watch. let us wish that they get redemption if it gets a Blu-ray release. it's a good show from first and the last episodes. does it have a rewatch value, it might have but it depends, is good show to watch once in a while. if you want a familiar show to watch with friend and family (if you have a sister, it might not be a good show to show them this, they might fall off-putting on them) or to watch in the living room tv.

There have been a few of these series now where the MC leaves adventuring or just starts a new life in some remote place / village and settles down to the 'slow life'. And when it sticks to that premise, I do find myself enjoying those kinds of series, though a few have disappointed when they quickly abandon that premise. So would this series be confident in its core premise and trust its audience? Or would it feel the need to add in extra elements because it lacks the faith that it can hold our interest without them? Yeah, it's the latter. For me this series is at its best whenever we are at the village, and any scene that features 'best dad' is a winner, short scenes with Angeline and her adventuring ways, as well as how they would come to obstruct her ability to return home were fine, for me that did add to the overall series as a whole. All the 'conspiracies' and the slow shift towards being more focused on Angeline, that is where things for me dipped in the overall quality, a lot of it was unnecessary, I know it feels like it wants to have some greater story, but all it does is take us away from what should be the 'heart' of the series, and its a distraction. Give us more time in the village with 'Best Dad' the friends he makes, and the slow life he cherishes. It reminded me of Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life, something that promised so much, had such potential, and then failed to stick to the slow life. Nothing disappoints me more than a series that wastes its potential If they kept it simple and straight forward it would have been a better series But with the plots, conspiracies and all cliched elements that were added because it clearly thought people would be bored without them, for me it stops it from being a great series, so I can't give it a good score, nor do I think I can easily recommend it
