Plot Summary

Beast Tamer Rein, who uses animals, was a member of the hero's party. However, since he couldn't do anything else, he wasn't able to keep up in battle.

"You only know how to play with animals. You're fired."

Rein is kicked out of the party and now lives freely as an adventurer. On his journey, he meets a girl from a cat tribe, the so-called strongest species. Elsewhere, the hero's party remains unaware that their previous success was all thanks to Rein...

This is the story of a beast tamer no longer held back and his fateful encounter with a precious companion.

E7 - The Captive Fairy

So this is the show that makes me create an MAL account? Really?

Continues to be saccharine but I keep watching it. Somehow the second fairy uses a pseudo kansai-ben accent but speaks like an ancient demon lord herself.

umu

One more to go if the ED is any indication.


Looks like a Kitsune.

Kanade and Tania kind of remind me of Rem and Shera from How Not to Summon a Demon Lord...except in this case, the genki air-headed character is the cat girl and the mildly tsundere character is the sexy voluptuous one.

I would have preferred they just stay with those 2 and not add the loli Fairies...and the fox kind of looks loli like in the ED.

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to ULTIMATE SPECIES. Nevermind that he keeps stumbling across them and they immediately sign up after knowing him for 10-15 minutes.

Also conveniently there seems to be no male Ultimate Species so they're dependent on Rein to continue the family line.

Well looks like we have something to look forward to on the Blu-ray. Didn't expect that from such an innocent show. Though suprised Rein didn't join in on all the other male nudity we have had this season.

Harems typically don't know when to stop and many shows ruin a good initial character dynamic by insisting on being harems. -.-

The first two work because cat girl has the mind of an 8 year old and nothing untowards crosses her mind. While dragon girl is into him. The fairies seem superfluous and I expect fox girl to be even worse.

To be honest with you i don't think so. He sold them what they picked off the shelf. He was under no obligation to make the best weapons possible and fill his shop with them.

One of the flashbacks showed an adventurer go in and say, "I want the best sword you can make" Gantz purposefully did not give him the best sword he could make...so that's fraud.

Maybe if Gantz said "no, I won't sell it to you", but he didn't. He accepted the job and then purposefully did not honor the contract he entered into.

It would be like me going to a car dealer and saying "I want the best car on your lot" and they sell me a known lemon when they have much better cars. That's fraud.

IMO. If the guild and town refused to do anything about Gantz and his fraudulent business, the adventurers trying to run him out of business were doing others a service.

Oh geez are these villains getting tropey, and all the "good" knights are girls? Who wrote this Disney? Fox girl seems pretty weak, none of the other "ultimate species" were that weak. Doesn't seem like someone so weak would be able to give Rein a "power up".

What if she was a healer or an oracle of some sort. Just a couple ideas i read in CR comments.

Episode 12:
Well an awful lot happened this episode! I'm having trouble remembering the standout portions -- but undoubtedly they were portions.

Now that they've won against the vaguely-defined evil monster, there's at least one more episode left. Based on the track of events so far, I'm expecting Rein to invent a condiment, open a small pharmacy, buy a house with a farm, spend half the episode building a bathtub then finally work toward unlocking the exclusive class 'Sex Fiend.'

I expect the Hero to lose his title since he couldn't be unarsed enough to help the towns people. That and he aided the demon. He might have been forgiven for the latter, but not the former.

There has to be a dependent onii-chan loli for the real basement dwellers. The twins are too old, they're for the regular basement dwellers.

That wasn't the end? Guess we need another chorus of "Rein Rein Rein". Yeah Fox loli was pretty meh they really had to go out of their way to explain why what she could do was different than the fairies, and absolutely necessary to defeat the demon. Though since he made them appear, once they turned against him you'd think he could make them disappear.
Not a fan of the "hero" as the main villain, what actually makes him a hero anyway. At this point I just hope they time skip forward and have the hero's party drag themselves back to town to say they barely survives abd the hero was killed by the demon and Rein takes up his mantle i stead of Rein just kicking his ass again.

That felt more like an OVA than an in-season episode.  With all the shows that had 13 episodes, I wonder if the Fall season being a bit longer just allowed shows to be longer than needed.

I figured the "hero" would confront him one last time.

I guess it's a 6-6.5/10 type show...it was certainly better than "Farming Skills"

Had to collect one last pokemon for the road, eh? Still kind of an unnecessary episode but I guess if you have the production time may as well.

I wonder how many girls he's up to in the light novel? :p

6/10

So now Rein's harem is complete, and he has achieved "absurdly overpowered" status. Nothing can stand in his way. Too bad he's not really motivated to do anything useful. I give it a 6/10. As wish fulfillment fantasies go, it was pretty average.

How do you wait until the final ep to add a ghost (ghosts fall under beasts now too? yikes) maid with a Kansai dialect? What a waste :( Overall this kind of just limped along and suffered, like most harems, from too many girls  and not enough for them all to do. Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy one of the few shows smart enough to stop at 2. Also the asshole "hero" has been really overdone lately. Still it wasn't awful or anything

Yeah, the ghost maid - Tina Holy - was an odd addition, and even the rest of the girls questioned Rein's "phantom taming lesson" story, humorously, almost as a wink to the audience. But I was happy to hear M・A・O in another bit part in her resume. She was here & there as usual this year, from this maid to Anima, of course Shion, Joy, and even that guy changed to a girl in an isekai thing at the beginning of the year. -Always fun to see (hear) where these gals will wind up next, some harem show, or a little boys voice that you can almost recognize. And maids, always maids in Anime...
