So this is a show about a cute daughter and her growing up. Not really a complicated setting to follow, so what could go wrong, right? Lots of things, actually. First things first lets point out the obvious: it looks and sounds simple and bland. Not memorable in any light, good or bad. But things get worse with more importaint stuff, sadly. The main problem of the show - characters. When you have slice of life, you need characters whom we will follow. And to say that heroes here are bland and generic - is to say nothing. They are so bland that they will go outof your memory the second you finish this anime: MC, Dale, is slightly irritating with his LATINA IS CUTE, but he does almost nothing (excluding being slightly irritating), Latin - the daughteru of the show - despite being called cute all the time can hardly be qualified to be called one - she is just as plain and boring as everyone else. The rest of the cast is even more generic - here is your set of friends with zero characters, some old friends of Dale who appear a few times and act more like decorations for the main duo, and not like characters. Oh, don't forget that everyone loves Latina for no reason - which is strange, we are told that there are armed conflicts with demons so a bit of xenophobia should be expected, even more so when it is middle ages fantasy world. By the way, little is told about the world itself, a few bits of info is all that you get, though I didn't expect world building from this title. Enjoyment? Well, I would say this anime is a good watch before you go to bed, to fall asleep faster. It is boring, it is slow, it has nothing to capture your attention - dont waste your time on this mediocrity.

Young adventurer meets small demon girl in woods after said girls father died. Result? Most wholesome anime of summer season of 2019. From first moments of first episode you can tell its going to be something special and rest of season kept getting better and better. Story: Dont expect much action, but plenty of great and wholesome moments. I do like it doesnt shy away from darker side as well from time to time, yet it manages to do it so that it doesnt ruin shows tone. And it actually does manage to paint out larger picture of world as well. Essentially, i'd say viewers pointof view and knowledge of said world is quite similar to Latina's (the little demon girl), of course with few advantages, such as seeing her guardian Dale (the adventurer) at work. So worldbuilding is actually better than it might first appear and is very well done Characters: This is where this show truly shines. Pretty much every character is fleshed out and even one-off characters (which there are remarkably few of) have something, anything that gives them some level of depth. And of course main cast grows a lot. This shows truly how much care is put into this. Voice actors also put effort in what they do and it shows. Art & animation: Art is just beautiful and animation is on most part good as well. The world of this anime is colorful and vibrant, yet it also pulls of darker tones such as rain or forest at night off superbly as well. It really makes it all feel alive. Only complaint about this show is, however, in here as combat animation doesnt hold up for the rest and there can be bit too much "talking heads" bits (nowhere near the level of death note though), but it doesnt take away from this show Overall: if you want to feel good, definite reccommendation.
