| An elf otaku who is over 600 years old? Damn. Well, they mixed this show with supernatural, otaku, and comedy elements. This was actually a cute show though imo. Most of the cast is introduced and they all seem friendly. Elda caught my attention the most cause of her appearance but her personality isn't too different compared to the others. She does freak out more than the others though. |

| The story about a shrine maiden girl and an Otaku elf, this will be interesting. Also, a Red Bull sponsorship lols, what are the odds. It's been long since Akari Nanawo ever had a song since Engage Kiss, and this is decent. The Takamimi Shrine maiden miko girl, 16-year-old Koito Koganei having to put up with the useless deity that is the shut-in Hime-no-Mikoto NEET Elda summoned from another world, and she's quite the popular maiden to be spoiled speechless. Confiding in her classmate and childhood friend Koma Sakuraba, elves are different that's only her. Getting a Chanel bag out of her New Year's money, she's just not cut out for mature things, other than offerings. While Elda puts together her plastic models, Kito's younger sister Koyuzu puts together her meals, and at least she's appreciative of it. Being a reclusive goddess for 60 years because of some kid asking her of her long elf ears, Koito wants to be an upstanding miko that doesn't go in line with Elda's thinking, enough for the latter to come finding for her outside, fulfilling a promise to an old friend even if the world changes. And indeed, both Koito and Elda meet all those years ago, though the voice change because she got a cold, lols. This oughta be a calm and enjoyable series! |

| Another nice and fluffy show. Now my Fridays are perfect with this and Kawaisugi Crisis. Definitely a good first episode. I loved the character interactions. Nom nom. I also like Red Bull. Elda is so cute and hilarious. :3 Heh. Those facial expressions. |

| Now this is what we need, legal elf otaku waifu. |
 |
| If I had a nickel for every elf character in anime named Elda I've seen, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's funny, that it happened twice. |
 |
| This show was brought to you by, RedBull, We got sued over wings so we no longer say it gives you wings. The show is very bubbly and funny and all that, but why do i feel like behind that is a strong message of passing time and losing those you love in the process, may be one of the reasons why our blonde elf refuses to make new friendships ... because, she outlives all of them eventually. |
 |
| Elf waifu on 🔝 (This show is peak💯💯🔥🔥⁉️⁉️)  |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Slice of life of the season locked up already? We’re eating good on Fridays with this and Kawaisugi Crisis. An otaku elf who’s literally just like me. Cute girls doing cute things, wholesome slice of life interactions and some comedy? We will be there. |
 |
| Weird, they can call Red Bull by it's name but Fanta is now "Fonta" |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. |

|
| This is great so cute and wholesome Elda is so adorable |
cristinacke28 said: best "isekai" this season Actually you should write "Best reverse-isekai of this season". |
| I was finding it boring in the first half, then it became so sweet. I love the opening. |
| Fanta has to go, but the Red Bull stays. But I guess a Coca-Cola deal is hard. But hey we have a N Switch placement. |
 |
| Meh. The show reminded me why I didn't buy the manga. If it's going to be like this its going to be a hard pass. I wanna see Elda like go to conventions and other Otaku degen stuff. The ending was nice so theres that. The voices felt off. Elfa was fine but Koito's was just annoying. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Very funny show, I liked it instantly, hope it will keep going interesting. |
| Elves and Miko? that's all I needed to know, between this and Kawaisugi Crisis Fridays are going to be pretty relaxing. |
| Can product placement be any more blatant? Right in the opening scene. |

 |
| Elda and her miko's relationship is borne out of familiarity. This first episode is a nice, feel-good start to the series. I can't wait to see if Elda will take Koito up on her offer venture out more. |
       |
| Take Senko-san, Umaru-chan and Maquia. Another super comfy fun show. Man, Friday is frigging stacked. |

So... doing exactly what every other copy paste anime about the fandom has done to death? Thank god someone did the right thing to think outside the box. |
| I'm gonna be listening to that opening on repeat until I hate it : ) |
| I'm happy they didn't keep thr mystery only to the MC thing going |
| this is some good fluff funny red bull right out the gate can get name dropped also i really wanna see a behind the scene of the ED doing the rotating 2d in a 3d background looked impressive without rotoscoping |
 |
| man the ED is so damn good. both the visuals and the song. loved it. the premise is ridiculous but funny and pretty unexpected. it sure is interesting and i liked it. lol i want to see how koito is gonna now come to terms with elda being the lady she admired haha. should be good. the red bull part really got me though ngl, it was so unexpected. seems pretty fun. looking forward to next episode. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
MegamiRem said: Now this is what we need, legal elf otaku waifu. It's difficult for me to think of a thing we need more than this. I mean, food, water, shelter, and legal elf otaku waifu. Kinda just rolls off the tongue. |
| This is gonna be fun! An adorable NEET elf (voiced by Koshimizu Ami no less!) and a cute miko with big eyebrows. Some of the characters from the opening looks fun as well, especially the tanned elf and the short haired miko. |
 |
| Started off kind of meh feeling like just a weird premise but this actually looks good by the end being there actually is reasons for things. Now I need to check if that thing about lobsters is true. |
| Did anyone else think of Zelda when they introduced Elda? Oh and Fonta too but I guess only Redbull is an actual sponsor. I find this to be an interesting premise with an otaku elf that's around 600 years old and loves video games. Comedy bits are funny and I like the art style. This should be a good SoL series and hopefully some adventuring with Elda going outside. |
| I didn't actually expect this it's pretty good |

| Quite good, very pretty anime as well, a lot of vibrant colours in the backgrounds. Nice dynamic between the two MCs. |

Thank god someone did the right thing to think outside the box. They didn't though. This is still basically copy and paste with your main female lead becoming a recluse shut in. Someone previously mentioned Umuru which is a hood comparison but for me Gabriel Dropout did the same thing. Where a power entity became a recluse. Eldar is fine but Koito was not an interesting character in this first episode. Still gonna give it a few more episodes to see what they can build off of though. |

| This was so cute and Elda is so adorable, the show has so much charm, I am gonna fucking use every word in the dictionary that's similar to cute to describe this show, cause it's that cute. I think this is definitely going in one of my top premieres this season. Anime, games and manga, she just like me frfr, except I ain't no NEET. I love the artstyle too, it looks so clean and vibrant. Go bag that red bull money, show. Really looking forward to the next episode. |

Your first statement was against the fact that Elda wouldn't go to conventions, to which my reply was that other anime about weeb culture has done this to death (talking about Genshiken, Animegataris and stuff that portrays the otaku culture). But now you're saying that they didnt? And you pull out names that don't have a focus or have an angle about going to otaku conventions. Neither Gabudrop nor Umaru-chan focuses or even glances at conventions as a part of the show. I'll even expand saying that neither Gabriel nor Umaru are real neets, they are just too focused on games and stuff, but they do have a life outside their apartments. |
| Loved it! Main Characters are so cool and Kawaii! also the Art is amazing! |
