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.

To be thick is to live.

Are you a person who enjoys thick women, because if you are then you will find enjoyment in this anime.

The story. find a cute fantasy woman who has become choppy, and now human koon will help her.

The character design is very nice, pretty, sexy, but sadly there are some really cheap parts where they look bad, I think the dancing scene in the intro always takes me out of this world of existence.

Enjoyed this show, I read the manga and fought it looked sexy. anime looks a bit cheaper but still in good fun.

Mixed Feelings

I really wanted to like this anime. I love the source material, as well as the characters. But this anime is what a lot of us in this scene expected: low-budget drivel that doesn't really do the source justice. I'm glad that it has an adaptation to begin with, but I'd be lying if I was totally satisfied. The animation is, let's face it: quite poor, but strangely enough, I feel it is at its worst in the OP and ED. The actual show is serviceable, despite wonky faces now and then. I will say that it is extremely faithful to the source, though. What ... you see is what you get, but that in addition to its quality means that this adaptation really doesn't bring anything new to the table.

I've read the original manga (all 8+2 currently available in English!), and I follow the author's art. I recognize that the art is... well, let's say niche. My kind of niche, though, so I obviously enjoyed that part of it.

I'm here for that sweet sweet WG, that jiggle, those thighs and especially those tummies, big or just chubby. If you're also here for that, then just go watch it already. If you're not... well, I'll say that this is still extremely funny, but bad official subs do hold it back. If there are fansubs, I'm sure they're better, but in typical HIDIVE fashion, they've played them way, way too loose. My Japanese probably doesn't even qualify as "beginner level", but even I can tell these subs just aren't accurate. It's not 2005, guys! We know things about Japanese culture! You don't need to "dumb it down" for us! (ex. E11, uses "valley girl" instead of "gyaru")

TL;DR: If this is your kind of anime, you probably have already watched it all the way through. The rest of you may not be as impressed-- but I can recommend the manga any day of the week.

Not Recommended

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.
