Synopsis

For more than four hundred years, the Takamimi Shrine has stood in Tokyo, enshrining the local goddess: Elda, a magical elf summoned from another world. The immortal elf has been served for 15 generations by the family who summoned her in the Edo period. Now, after Koito Koganei turns 16 years old, this responsibility falls onto her.

Serving as Elda's shrine maiden, Koito must balance her responsibilities with her daily school life. This proves to be difficult because Elda is a total social recluse who loves video games, collecting toys, and eating snacks. In an effort to get the lazy shut-in to experience more of the outside world, Koito juggles her time between indulging Elda's various hobbies and getting her to interact with the rest of humanity. Along the way, Koito learns more about the history of the area and what makes the goddess so loved and spoiled by the locals.

Edomae Elf was one of my biggest surprises this season. I initially included it in my top 10 new shows to watch video based off a solid first episode, but I did not think I would end up liking it nearly as much as I do. Hilarious, wholesome, fun and surprisingly educational. A unique experience.

I’m convinced that the author wanted to write a history manga, but probably thought he couldn’t sell enough copies with just that, so he added a cute elf waifu and other cute girls. I mean, seriously, there is a lot of genuinely informative information in this show about Edo era Japan ...

Mixed Feelings
I believe this show was a waste of potential.

The idea is cool and different. In short, the story is basically about the daily life of Koito (a shrine maiden - 'miko') and Elda (the deity of the shrine).
The cool and different idea relies on Elda, which is an Elf and on top of that a recluse who is into Otaku-things.

The problem is that they didn´t explore much of that uniqueness, and in the end the anime might end up just being 'another one' you will add to your list. For example: If Elda wasn´t an Elf, it wouldn´t change much except for the ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)
We have a female elf summoned in this world hundreds of years ago, an elf without divine powers who is worshipped as a goddess by the locals for no reason at all.
She has been living as a recluse hermit for sixty years because of her reactions as a child under five.

She tells once or twice per episode a short story of the past, so short it is not interesting.
Her priestess forces her out and there we have some kind of short events.

This anime is more of a slice of life than a comedy. Nothing is really funny, it's more about ridiculous situations that cause a ...
