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.

Otaku Elf is an anime about an otaku elf. That's the anime and you must remember it. My favorite part was when the main heroine, Elda, was an otaku.

But in all seriousness, a concept of an elf getting isekai'd into our world and turning into an otaku is quite fresh, and the fact that she's pretty much being "worshipped" here just makes this show 3x funnier to me.
You see, Elf is a long-aged creature, the total opposite of human that is short-lived and fragile, that's why in most literature Elf is often depicted as a very closed species and prefer to not interact or share ...

If you are looking for a chill, funny, beautiful and even with some history's interesting facts to watch, Edomae Elf is a must!

Edomae Elf is one of those animes that could be considered "hidden gems" of each season.

The first thing that easily stands out is the quality of the drawing. It doesn't matter if the frame is focusing on Elda, Koito or other characters or how far they are, they are always extremely detailed. Of course Elda have a special treatment since she is heavily inspired by the beautiful elves from the Tolkien universe, but try to also pay attention to the other characters, their ...

You come back home after a shitty day at work, full of office politics, coworkers' shenanigan, annoying clients, endless harassing from consultants your superiors hired because they receive kickbacks, all for a handful of dollars. You are tired, exhausted, lonely, without any aim, hope, dream, passion in life, and you just want something to keep you company during those lonely hours. Edomae Elf is the show for you.

The premise cannot be any more common: the daily life of an otaku from the eyes of those having to take care of her. There are three things Edomae Elf does different, however.

1/ You have the cast. Your ...
