| Another fantasy isekai anime this season. I've read the LN a long time ago but it's how I pictured the characters would look like when animated. Episode/story follows Ellen in this fantasy world and it looks like her parents have quite a prominent status. Ellen has a charming look and sweet personality as expected someone of her age. Story wise, it's going to follow the events of that kingdom. Animation quality looks so-so imo coming from JC Staff. Not that impressive but suits the style of the anime. |

| Novelist Matsuura's series sure is quite the family dilemma in a fantasy world really... A heroic father, a spirit mother, and a half-spirit child, these 3 are a happy family, only except that the little child is the reincarnated Ellen living within the confines of hero Rovel Vankreift and spirit mother Origin. And a fair few enemies that are the targeted of her parents, Ellen's desire to oust them, is quite the interesting approach for a fantasy. It's alright...to be honest... |

| That was so sweet, what a lovely family. The noble families intrigues conflict meanwhile could turn things ugly, emphasis on ugly.  |

Well, at least I appreciate some "show, don't tell" attempt on Ellen's power. Instead of just telling us on what's her cheating skill is, she demonstrated on her parents' marriage.
Oh, it's such a rare event to see your biological parents married with your own eyes, isn't it?
Not sure what I should feel about that madam, if she's gonna play a "villainess" role, she should copy from the current trend of "villainess" anime, just because you're ugly inside doesn't mean you've to ugly outside too. Now she's just a joke character. But this is not what I'm sad about.
What I sad about the most is the fact that the hero's father passed away in battle, he's such a hot DILF, I'm wondering if he's actually still alive considering that he has his own voice actor, if he's just a cameo there's no need for a dedicated voice actor, they could cut all his spoken lines and make it a silence flashback.

| @phantomfandom I think you're underestimating anime, I've seen so many anime that get excellent actors to play a character that only gets 20 seconds of screen time throughout the whole series. Funny enough It's literally the only character they play in the show too. So if you're wondering if they'd get an actor to play a character that gets almost no screen time. Even a really good actor, then the answer is absolutely yes. Don't ask me why, I wouldn't know, but it's really common. |
| I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life. |
| The Anime was not bad, but the Manga drawings were cuter. |
| Looks fun. That is one manipulative loli. |
| Not a bad first episode and nothing amazing either. If they deal with the villainess issue within the next two episodes and don't drag that on for the entire season, I can see this being a low to mid 6. Honestly, Ellen should just lock the villainess up in a tungsten prison or something and leave it at that. |

| Decent prologue. I honestly have no idea how this one will go, since it had such a unique start compared to most isekai. Also, I really love how the spirits are portrayed in this anime. Usually, they’re more ghost-like, but here, they look exactly like humans. |
| Wait that’s it?? That first episode went by so quick, couldn’t believe the credits were rolling. So glad I ended up checking this one out. Was hesitant because of my seasonal load this season, but this was such a good first episode. Of all the isekai, I don’t think I’ve ever seen or even heard of one where both parents are in the MC’s life like this and both such legendary OP beings! Whole family full of broken powerful people lol. Love how close Rovell and Ellen are and how she’s able to get her dad to do anything just by being cute lol. He’s such a nice doting father, but as we saw when he met his bodyguard again and was asked to come home, he’s got this serious streak to him. Almost as if he uses his time with Ellen and his wife, Origin to cover the pain and anger he feels inside. Losing your dad all because of a jealous POS getting him sent to the frontlines and never really being able to grieve/move past that surely created some unresolved trauma. Wonder how we’ll see that play out next episode. Laughed so hard when they showed just how hard his former fiancé had fallen off. She’s been eating good that’s for sure. Props to the author for doing something different with the isekai formula, I think this’ll be a nice wholesome fantasy story to relax with this season. |

| guessing this justgonna end with that edge scene at cour 1 kek smfh but yes yall about to see peak cringe |
| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |
| It is cheaply made, but the story has enough twists to make it interesting, so I'll give it a chance. |
| As far as reincarnations go, I'd say Ellen really lucked out. Rovel is a doting father and Origin is a caring mother. Not to mention the powers they all have from being spirits! It's nice that Origins sisters went and blessed the second physical realm wedding. |

| @ItIsZach I feel like this Villainous is kind of a joke anyways given how absurdly comical her design is, it shouldn’t drag on too long. And based on the trailer + what we’ve seen so far I think we’re gonna see the royal family probably come after Ellen in some way, shape, or form. |

| awww, she knows her father is the hero and she thinks he should go back! oh boy, the townsfolk recognize him! oooh! his former bodyguard! interesting! lol he's a doting girl dad, I love it! lolol Ellen pulling out a fake(?) "I hate you" to get him to go home! I love her lolol oooh! registering the marriage on the living side as well seems like a very smart move! esp with that woman in the household! OOOH! ELLEN IS GONNA GIVE THEM RINGS!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! awwwwwwww what a cute couple! you can tell they truly love each other! wow, the ex is really ugly now! suits her right! |
| Sometimes you just need to scream into the void. That said, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLEASE GIVE ME FANTASY ANIME RECS!!! I'M PRETTY MUCH OUT ON CRUNCHYROLL AND I'M BORED!!! Streaming services I have: Crunchyroll (this is the main one I use for anime and I've pretty much exhausted my options there), Netflix, Disney+ (including Hulu), Peacock, Paramount+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime |
| those CG crowds were painful to watch... ugly work! :p bleck! :p otherwise, a good looking and fun 1st episode. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| When i saw this name, i was like "JUST CHOOSE ONE". I'm sorry but god what is Agielle ugly. EP1 6/10 |
  |
| I didn't think the anime was bad, but it's a bit boring... It's just not my style. Does anyone who read the novel know if Ellen will have any romantic interest? Or is it just that family thing? |
| I have zero expectations for a good story and I'm sure it'll be clique, but Ellen is the cutest little thing <3 I'll give it at least 3 and see the story either reveals to be something more than something we've all seen a thousand times or if Ellen can keep carrying the show with kawaii'ness. |
| Nothing special from the premise. |
| Not sure why exactly, but something about this has a very classic fantasy feel, despite also being an isekai and all the references to knowledge of modern science and the periodic table. I think it's due to the mythic scale of everything - an onslaught of monsters storming a kingdom, being saved by a spirit, marriage to a spirit, becoming a half-spirit, the spirit world, a spirit daughter, the joy and adoration of the masses for a revered princely figure who actually isn't the main character, the cartoonish extremes certain aspects are portrayed like the almost inhumanly-proportioned greedy fat ogress woman, etc. The setting is the usual European-inspired fantasy world although character designs look classic anime. Not necessarily the most interesting premise - or I should say not necessarily the most interesting premise yet: It depends on how much and how well they use the science as a part of the plot and what other elements (no double entendre intended) they introduce to it later on. But it's definitely not the worst introductory episode to an isekai either, as there are plenty I'll drop after the first episode or even 15, 10, five, two minutes into it (yes, seriously). Whereas this one I'll give a further chance and look. I always wonder in isekai cases like this where the person did reincarnate and it's implied they originally knew that they were reincarnated from birth/at an early age (basically as soon as they were conscious) although we are joining them and starting the story with them already at an older age (eight years old now), whether mentally they still identify more with their former life (Japanese research scientist) or see themselves more fully as this new person now. As an audience member, when we are introduced to them first as the new person and either don't see their former life at all or see it only very briefly with one or minimal quick shots then I see them more as the new person whereas something like Mushoku Tensei I definitely see the main character more as the original Japanese man's consciousness. It depends also, I guess, on how they act and how much they bring it up afterward throughout the story. |

| ....it being an isekai is only relevant for her to generate elements....like did it really have to be an iseaki.... Besides all that, this seems like a cute, but at times seinen looking anime which has piqued my interest :} I really like the main family and Ellen gets a cool thumbs up from me after watching this episode, I just hope they can keep this momentum all season. Ellen's eyes do look like jewels, which i think is pretty neat :} |
