Just finished the final episode, and I was unfortunately very disappointed. The premise of the show was interesting, the slowly budding romance was natural and sweet, and the drama and business ventures were engaging. But as the episodes continued, the animation quality declined drastically and the plot slammed on the brakes.
Firstly, the animation was never incredible, but it started out decent. However, with each episode, characters looked more off-model than not, and still-shots slowly increased. The last episode was the worst, with more than half of the episode being still-shots of some sort. Absolutely unacceptable quality.
The next drawback was the plot's pacing. The

Woman dies from overwork and gets reborn into a magical world, where people invent and build modern tools reimagined to work with magic related systems: Magic stones, magical circuits, etc.
And then you can forget it all because it turns out none of that is the actual main focus of the series, but just the protagonist's personal relationship with the people around her, followed by a lot of gossip, shoulder sharing, drama, love, betrayal, and several other romance related things, while only around 10% of it being actually about the exploration of modern tools and gadgets reimagined to work in a magical world. If you like ... Sep 26, 2024
Cheap, uninspired and excruciatingly boring. It's just poorly animated off-model people sitting and having baby's first attempt at dialogue over and over and over again. I did exhale through my nose one or two times in the first few episodes while heroine was dealing with the divorce proceedings, but it all just kept going downhill from there.
Moving forward from the divorce it's more or less the same scenario repeating every few episodes. Someone says "I've got a problem", Dahliya replies "I've got the solution for it right here, give me a minute to craft it". She slaps together a prototype thing, it becomes immediately ... Aug 23, 2024
I feel that some of the reviews are misleading, and they directly contributed to me avoiding this anime initially. I just watched seven episodes in one sitting because I had some free time, and feel inclined to throw in my own two cents here.
I can best describe this show as a Bildungsroman. The pacing is slow, and roughly three episodes are dedicated to the formative years of the heroine before the isekai elements kick in. That, admittedly, is where this anime fails, because shows should be gripping from the get-go to keep you coming back every week. If you're reading this review to gauge whether ... Sep 7, 2024
It not a bad anime at all, good writting and a litle abolve average animation.
But ohhhhh boy let me tell you something... this studio DOES NOT know how shadows work!!! Jesus christ, the overuse of shadows in the animation was crazy, overused to the point when it didnt even need to be there, its actually pissed me off, cause the story and animation aint bad, but the SHADOWS would take me out of the world. I was giving it a 7/10 but the shadowrealm dropped it to a 6 If you are not focussed into details you might enjoy it, its a nice chill slice of ... Sep 27, 2024
tl;dr
"Dahlia in Bloom" is a low-budget anime with average art and animation, though the character's eyes and emotional expressions stand out. The isekai aspect feels unnecessary, as it doesn't impact the plot at all. The world-building and the magic system, particularly the creation of magical tools, are well-executed. The characters are nice but underdeveloped, especially the side characters. The story starts strong but loses momentum after episode six. If you enjoy shows like "Ascendance of a Bookworm," you might like this one. The review: This anime has a low budget, and despite that, they managed to create something enjoyable. The art is a low-mid tier, the eyes of ... Sep 21, 2024
Dahliya in bloom is the latest in a recent trend of female led isekai about magical inventions. Honzuki, Tenten Kakumei etc., were all great for me and Dahliya’s no different. While the story isn’t anything to write home about, I really fell in love with Dahliya as a character and enjoyed her personal journey. A cute, smart, independent and badass female lead is my weakness and Dahliya had it all for me.
For me the big selling point is Dahliya’s magic device business which usually revolves around implementing common things we have on earth in a fantasy world. She and her father tinkering around ... Aug 6, 2024
My narrow knowledge responds that ale is usually drunk at room temperature or slightly colder.
Dahlia said of her late father, Carlo, that he was a sucker for icy-chilled ale in the summer. A hint of romance is getting stronger since episode 4. However, the atmosphere is still not overly sweet yet. The protagonist is neither a hysteric screamer, fearing for strangers extremely, nor overpowering like Mary Sue. Her emotional stability is not bad for me. But I'm getting uneasy about the lack of research and idealization that is common in original works by female authors is evident in certain aspects, like the military, social systems or daily ...

Why is the rating of this anime so low?? This is one of the most refreshing shows I've seen in a while, the characters actually act normal and in a realistic way, there's no forced romance or weird tropes, only good vibes. If you're put off by the reincarnation thing, it's not brought up at all during the show, so I do agree it could've been omitted to begin with but maybe the author wanted more traction for it, who am I to judge. I think this deserves at least a 7.3, there's not a single bad thing about it in my eyes, and if

I've been holding off on writing this review, because I kept fearing this might end up in the weeds. But after the season end, I have to admit I've really enjoyed how the season progressed, and appreciated most of the decisions for the direction the producers took this. I was a little leery with ep 1 and the isekai angle. I saw no real reason for it. It does come into play slightly, but not like your usual trash isekais. They could have fairly easily made this a fantasy type SoL which is really what it turns out to be.
I liked the art overall. ... Aug 24, 2024
Unfortunately, I don't recommend this anime for one simple reason: the characters are very poorly constructed, the plot doesn't explore the hero's journey well and the romance is weak and confusing.
This anime had a good promise, with the heroine in a new world full of magic and challenges. The only problem is... the magic isn't explored, the challenges hardly appear, and the animation isn't the best. The feelings of the characters aren't taken to heart, there's a lack of emotion and poetry for what each one is really feeling. I have the feeling that they wanted to cram the whole story into 12 episodes, ... Aug 31, 2024
This is a breath of fresh air.
I'm 9 episodes in. I don't generally have the energy to write a whole review. But I'll provide my summary points. Positives: + A focus on collaboration and the value of integrity. + Not overtly powerful objects or magic (thus far). + Interesting approach to magical device design, much more interesting than 99% of other fantasy shows regardless of whether it's isekai or not. + A sensible approach on what it means to start off as friends and move towards romance with boundaries in place. + Consistent animation quality. ...

The review for this anime in general looks flat. It can be understood because it is a slice of life genre which is usually a boring genre if the author cannot provide a magical touch that can make it interesting. I try to explain what I think is lacking in this anime story, namely the concept of a story about a magical tool craftsman, from what can be observed the main character does not have an ambitious goal or create a revolutionary tool that can have a big impact on the storyline, what's more the background of the main character's story is a Reincarnation from

It boils down to a slice-of-life anime in a world where magic is real, but is essentially technology. It's used to imbue items with various effects. Wind and fire magic makes a flamethrower or hair dryer. Ice magic makes a cooler. Fire magic makes a boiler. That type of thing. Dahlia is isekaied after dropping at a young age from overwork - it says something about Japanese culture that so many Manga and Anime share this trope. Her pops is a well known "artificer" who has invented numerous magical devices and she's raised by him in a house that's also a workshop and lab, where

The best way to describe this anime would be the equivalent of the first half of a low drama pocket book. That's not to say it's bad, but it definitely fits the genre. It's a really sweet story, though incomplete, and it drew quite a few laughs from me. I was also never bored throughout the show despite the lack of drama, I managed to watch it all in a single siting if that's any indication. I really love the relationship that's developing between the mains as well. Friends to lovers is a favorite of mine and they had had me blushing on occasion. So

Madougushi Dahliya wa Utsumukanai was such a refreshing watch! 🌸 It’s incredibly light-hearted and calm, with absolutely no drama, no action, no intense fighting scenes, and zero anxiety-inducing moments. This anime stands out as a breath of fresh air in a season full of action-packed shows, and I loved it for that.
The story unfolds at a comfortable pace, making it a perfect choice to finish in one day without feeling like you’ve wasted any time. It’s truly the kind of anime that leaves you with a warm, peaceful feeling after watching it. 💖 I really, really hope there’s a season 2 in the works, and ... Dec 19, 2024
This is a slow-burn slice of life type anime. Yes it's set in a "fantastica land" the protagonist has been reborn into, but it's not about the swords and sorcery, there's no high-drama or empire spanning plots. There's no dastardly villains that need defeating, this is, if you were to really narrow it down, a coming into your own as an adult story. The character development of the main characters is well done and the side characters are "mostly" well done. There are one or two that could have been fleshed out a bit more and their relationships established, but to

Characters are a 1/3 - None of them are annoying but no one notable either. Aside from her love for her father and magical devices and that she's kind, is there anything notable about her? Interesting? Not really. This is what is expected from any anime that at most only has 12 episodes in a season. With so little time, you're never going to get fully fleshed-out characters you can truly feel for. This applies to the FL as well as the ML. Show, don't tell. That's the rule in films and animation. Glimpses of their pain are not enough. You have to immerse your
