Elf-san wa Yaserarenai.

Tomoatsu Naoe leads an ordinary life working as a massage therapist, but this changes when he encounters a peculiar client named Erufuda. During her visit, Naoe discovers her secret: she is actually an elf! After leaving her world, Erufuda fell in love with junk food and now cannot return home because of her weight gain.

Naoe decides to help the elf with dieting so that she can eventually go back to her world. Although Erufuda puts in the work and reaches her goal, it does not take long for Naoe to stumble upon her again—and she has regained the lost pounds. As Naoe continues to give her advice, the two begin encountering other people from another world, all with the same desire to lose weight.

This anime took a standard anime idea "find all the reasons for the cast to take their clothes off" and really made it entertaining and funny. The characters were endearing and at times absurd. They also managed to ride the line of lovable aholes too. I wasn't sure what kind of humor I'd encounter when I started watching it since frequently things with plus sized in the title can nose dive into just straight up bullying to audience, but this anime didn't come off like that to me. It came off more like the creator realized that he could draw all the big boobs he ... wanted if he just made the ladies big too, and I appreciated that.

If you're looking for a silly, flirty, lulzy time then this anime is for you. If you want something with a little more substance and less focus on exercise and diet, then you might want to look elsewhere.

Mixed Feelings

not sure about the show its like watching a bad porn but like some aspects like their training detail stuff the methods the protagonist uses in progress of weight reduction but its like watching ecchi stuff without getting a bonner.The show has a unique take but fails to deliver like manga some suggested,not super sure about the future of this anime but hopes are high if it gets a second season. Majority believe the characters require more development and details completely lacked on that stuff,the art system is okay but can do more justice to the characters. If you have not read manga maybe you ... will enjoy a bit

I only watched this mostly as a joke and going off of the hype of elf season (Frieren and Marcille) and I guess I don't regret watching but its a total waste of time. If you are in to fat woman than maybe you'll find some sort of enjoyment from this lol but that's just not my cup of tea so I wasn't expecting to like this. Even despite that though the show is pretty bad, animation is very low quality, the fan service is just random as hell and the story is mostly nonexistent. I'm happy the episodes were only 12 min long because ... I wouldn't have been able to get through a full length episode every week. Some people try to add points for its little bit of fitness knowledge that it tries to lay on but its all such basic information that none of it is actually helpful if that's something you want to argue in favor of.
