This show sucked ass! I have no clue how this is still in the 7 range. It's all the raging boner light novel readers arbitrarily giving it a high rating even tho it was boring, random, not funny, and just plain shoot your self in the head bad.

I just had a birthday and when my friend said what did you wish for as I blew my candles out I said.....that this donkey spunk of a show get to a 5 on MAL.

Great sage weak Crest, Leadale and Wiseman Pupil are the worst anime this season all get a 3 and I'm being generous.

There were definitely issues with the show, but overall I didn’t mind it. I feel as though it didn’t pretend to be anything other than it was and it went with the whole overpowered MC trope. Although if it were more realistic the kid that was adopted would 100% have PTSD and emotional issues. It’s like she totally forgot about her life before her current situation.

Other isekai seem to try to make it look like the overpowered MC has actual struggles and battles when really they don’t. Or they make it gross like someone being reincarnated as a kid and then falling in love with another kid (it’s literally pedophilia, regardless of what excuses they may give). So I’m glad it was more slice of life in this one rather than romance.

I definitely feel bad for Cayna’s kids though with how she treated them vs how she is treating her new kid. Although it does kind of make sense since when she entered Leadale the others were grown up (and she still remembers them as NPCs from the game) and this is kind of like starting more from scratch.

Overall I rated it a 5. It was okay, and if another season came out I would probably watch it.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand-basket?

Wow. A good version of Slime Taoshite 300-nen. I'm impressed.

Not thrilled with the the whole building a house thing at the end since she already has the towers and a family, but whatever.

This anime isn't so bad for a change of pace. It was really relaxing to watch from start till the end. I hope we get season 2 someday. I really enjoyed it, and cayna's new daughter is dang kawaii.

That's a nice new house she made there.

It makes me teary-eyed when Luka finally said mother to Cayna. She finally get a new and better life. She's such a nice girl. Even became a mediator to stop Cie and Rox from fighting.

Its a decent slice-of-life isekai show that you can just sit back and relax. There's little to no conflict. Seeing Cayna from having a sad bedridden life to becoming a OP High elf that she can do pretty what she wants is nice.

Such an enjoyable show. a 2nd season is welcome.

Not much to say, good episode and nice ending. Don't feel like we will get another season.

This was a very wholesome anime and there wasn't too much plot in this anime but enjoyed it nonetheless so overall I'm gonna rate this anime 8/10 solely due to the wholesome, cute moments and banger of an ED.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

"Fake it until you (fail to) make it", the animation.

This show is basically a succession of random stuff happening in order to desperately try to hide how lacking the author is. Because, this author is unable to write good character or any good scene.
As a result, you get random stuff happening : Meeting her three kids, a prince, meeting her grandson, meeting a princess, meeting brigand, meeting a new player, meeting a boss event, meeting a fairy, meeting a siren, meeting two other player, meeting two cat servant, meeting zombie, meeting two other players, meeting a girl who is going to be her adopted daughter...

But, 99% of this stuff has no impact whatsoever. The author is unable to write a serious situation. Killing people is dealt with in one second. Meeting new player has no effect on the plot. Adopting a girl... and two episode later, they still didn't have a proper discussion.

The author is unable to have a clear picture for his overpowered main character who can do anything (the main character is either a psycho or too nice) and she's never wrong or needing to improve. The humor is non-existent (hahahaha she's drunk, lol, hahaha let's do it ten time in a row), the design has nothing outstanding, OST are bland... and the last episode is useless. Fight have nothing going for them...

The biggest mystery is why this title got an anime adaptation.
5/10.

The scene towards the end with Luka calling Cayna okasan was directed perfectly. It was heartwarming and a nice goodbye to the show, nearly shed a tear too. Overall though, I felt that the show had little to offer in terms of a plot, yet didn't feel like a proper slice of life either. It was kinda confused about what it wanted to be. Limited enjoyment from this one, but relaxing enough to go through. The art is also easy on the eyes. Would be ok with a season 2 but not expecting it.

It's an adaptation of a web/light novel, not a manga.

In general an empty anime if I could say it like that.

And this was like... very similar to Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja and vice versa.

However, Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja was way more enjoyable.

Nothing too special, just a (mostly) lighthearted isekai with some goofy moments like the Cayna's family thing and Cayna's alcoholic habits of partying in the village every time.

I feel this anime is solid but unimpressive.
It has pretty good quality and it connects the story to the viewers.
It does a nice job of presenting the world of Leadale but doesn't go much further.

Although this could be seen as a bad thing, we have not been informed whether it was a game-world-made-real or a parallel-world-where-players-made-avatars. In the more-likely earlier case, the world would've been pre-defined by code so a lackluster story is all-but expected as the inhabitants would be AI-turned-human.

The story of Cayna has direction (towers, exploration, enjoyment) and doesn't veer far from it even when presenting world-threatening situations (Event Monster). Because of Cayna's high level, the battles were expected to be subpar so there should be no shock with that.

With all that said, it's a fine anime but quite lackluster.
If you're looking for a cute story, this is a reasonable choice. Otherwise, you should probably skip this one.

I liked your ideas about why its still that high of a rating, big ups for the writings!

Yeah I'm glad too see since I last visited here the score has dropped below zero so my sould is happier seeing it's not at like 7.3 or whatever it was.

But yeah good points, always like seeing diff ideas and points.

Very chill ending to a pretty good slice of life isekai. It was nice to see Cayna just hanging out with the two girls (they’re too cute!). The little fairy is pretty adorable too! I hope they renew this for another season. I really dig these super chill isekai like Slime 300. Well, in the meantime April is coming up and there’s like about a million shows that are premiering soon, so those will keep me busy for sure.

This was disappointing.
It was a good sol anime, but these type of shows need some further plot development beyond episode 6-8 or it'll just be tiring.
Like the "I was in a hospital for years and then randomly died while the only thing I could do was play a video game" thing was not touched on enough. That would have been a great way to break up the excessive wholesomeness...

This anime was great, it really hit the spot for some reason. I hope this would have a 2nd season, but knowing Maho Film, there are very few chances for that to happen (unfortunately T.T), but hope is still free to have, so I will have it anyway.

I would give it a 9/10 but it felt too rushed sometimes, this should probably be a good show for 14 - 16 eps, but ey! there are only those few days per season xD So I will give it a well-deserved 8/10.
I really feel that we need more shows like this one.
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

This has some of the best world building I've seen in a fantasy isekai. By the end you have a very strong sense of the different locations, what's going on where, and who's where. Not just that, you actually care about what's happening to the people there, rather that think of them as just extras walking around to fill up the background.

Unfortunately that strong setting is paired with a weak episodic format. Even the episode names reflect this - they're just 4 things which happen in the episode, as if it were adopted from a 4-koma. The episodes focus mainly on introducing characters, rather than actually using them to build up any real overreaching plot. Character are escorted out almost as quickly as they're introduced.

This would be ok if it were a 24 or 52 episode anime. Play around with all those memorable characters in the beautiful setting that's been built, like most sitcoms or soap operas do. But trying to make it stand on its own with just 12 episodes, it's pretty weak. It's kinda like if you just read the first few chapters of The Hobbit or LotR where everyone and the fantastic locations are introduced. Then it just ends. You feel like there's a huge amount of potential there, but very little of it is realized.

I've rewatched this just because I like the setting so much. If this were a real game, I'd very much like to play in it. But if the setting doesn't do anything for you, you're going to be bored and disappointed.

Cute and entertaining but not really much substance. Initial goals was the find her other guild mates, the towers and other players. When it does happen it's always done nonchalantly. The gimmick with her having children and grand children was nice but they didn't do much with it as with most characters they meet.

so Cayna really forgot the demon player.. I feel bad for him though, he's just a child trapped in a demon body, what's more Cayna didn't really tried to befriend him, but trying to kill him instead.

Just rewatched this, and oh boy, I enjoyed it again.

Really need the story after this final episode.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Cayna throws a party and wakes up hungover to land given to her by the villagers, she makes a house for her family so she can fully settle down. Fluffed out episode with some random trivial dialogues. Nothing special this episode no climax or heavy plot focus. Overall, series was meh below average just too much characters in such a short series

I enjoyed this series a lot. It was calming, heartwarming & wholesome. Nothing more to ask for. Cayna will continue to enjoy her peaceful life in their new home with her new adopted daughter. It's so sweet, just the way I love it. A shame there's no sequel but this was still a fun series overall. Most of the comedy was on point and I laughed a bunch of times too. The series was lighthearted with a lot of funny moments & cute facial expressions from Cayna herself. Has a bit of action too but it's just right. Cayna is so OP and I don't remember if her level was revealed in the anime. Makes me wonder if her level is similar to the max level from Disgaea games, lol. There are a bunch of fun characters especially Skargo whose love for his mom knows no bounds, hahaha! What a funny guy!

This is another anime that will earn a 10/10 from me and that's final. :)

Such a touching moment, Cayna being called mother by another adopted daughter. They ended off when the slice of life part was getting so cute, quite a lovely story they're going with. Shame no S2, I came with no expectation of a plot heavy anime that's engaging. Although that was the case, I really enjoyed it because the feeling and the world of Leadale is fun, 200 years after is amazing. Would miss it
