| Aww, it's cute Ivy made a new friend. Sure, that guard was intimidating at first but turns out to be kindhearted after all as the two goes shopping in town together. Never judge a book by its cover I guess. I'm just glad to see Ivy enjoying her adventure and making even more new discoveries. |
 |
| Ciel is such a gorgeous kitty. :3 After all the bad things Ivy has been through, it's good to see her making new friends. <3 |

| Best cat makes an appearance! Ciel doesn't get much screen time unfortunately. Such is life for monsters and humans. A non-tamed monster approaching the town would set off a lot of alarms. Sora also seemed to heal Ciel much faster than it did Ivy. Healing getting better over time? We also got to meet the scary captain and vice-captain. The evil stare scene was quite something. The random praying mantis also posing threateningly was a brilliant addition. It's also a good change in tempo from Ivy's previous experiences. We get a few small world building points this episode. We got a better view in how adventurers and travelers who don't want or can't stay at inns stay in towns. Based on Ivy's reaction, different towns have different ways of managing the sites. This town is pretty strict and well watched. Which was fortunate for Ivy considering the four adventurers who decided so was easy prey. Really helps to have the stamp of approval from the guard captain. For LN notes, see below: |

| Ivy is so lucky to be to make some new amazing friends and her new tent looks so cool |
| sora re\lly is a special slime he can heal because his diet his healing potions and he can soon cure illnesses because of the red potion also she made an new ally sora might be op i thinking making potions out of him by feeding him herbs or just generally healing wounds for cheap |

@Callidin LN notes:
| @Goldkoron I like how they are handling it personally. Having recently re-gone through the first LN, they've only skipped a few things. The biggest one being the skipping of the snake village. The moving things around makes sense for an onscreen adaptation. Gives more time for the viewers to get comfortable with the characters/ideas before rushing through the slower, more minor sections. At the same time, I do wish they had 13-16 episodes available to tell it all in the LN story. While we do have the LNs to tell that story, it would've neat to have it animated as close to 1-to-1 as possible. But, changes between media are inevitable and, due to the predetermined episode count, they have to shuffle things around. I can respect that and enjoy this anime as its own thing. For what they are doing, I would consider this one of the more faithful adaptations I've seen. Most shows cut massive chunks and critical information. This show has kept most of the information while also adding in some new information at the cost of shrinking the first arc down a bit. |

| I do like the slow and steady nature of this anime. It can hardly be called plot driven by any stretch of the imagination, but watching Ivy plod along making friends (and picking up a new pet) is oddly compelling. Meeting new and unique characters (even if we never see them again) really adds to the world building and some of the little details (like what is going on with the village?) makes it seem like we are really building up to something. I really like the art style and animation of this show as well. Much of the animation seems smooth, the compositions/direction really sets up some gorgeous shots, and the character designs have been distinct and charming. The music does not really stand out to me but complements the story well. The only episode that has not been just pleasant to watch was the third (and that was due solely to the heartbreaking nature of the story). |
| They usually have the author as a consult for how things should play out and during script reviews, with a few notable (infamous) exceptions. Considering how many people were stating they would drop the show if it started with the abuse sections, they made a smart choice for a good chunk of viewers. Considering how close they have been following it and how much the staff has been paying attention to the details of the story in general, I would still say this is a pretty good adaptation for a story I would never have thought would get one. I've made the decision to not mind changes as much once I started getting into storytelling and how it changes in different media. The approaches, why certain things don't work as well, why things need to be changed, why some of our darlings need to be cut out. It's always a hard job and it is easy to make mistakes that can completely ruin an adaptation, regardless of to what media. In LNs we get a lot of character inner dialogue and that simply does not play out well in most visual media. As change is inevitable, I think it is important to separate the written work from the visual work, even if they are telling the same story. Enjoy it for a new telling of the story and appreciate the work and love put into it. The last part is especially true of this anime. The animation, art direction, and VA involvement is extremely high for a work that isn't as popular. This is well beyond an ad for the LNs/manga. |

| Sora is such a glutton. lol |

I love Ivy but how can she still not realize that she don need those potions no more cuz' Sora have an healing ability..!?
*('is she stupid?' type shit lol)

| @Hiruuu_ Sora take a while to heal (there was a brief transition showing that it took time healing Ciel), meanwhile even an expired healing potion healed her injury in instantly after using multiple. Also, she doesn't know if Sora's healing have a limit or not, so it's smart to keep at least one potion around. |
| Ivy finally met some genuinly kind people, and it's a very reassuring sight. She could've asked for a tent that wouldn't attract unwanted attention, but nonetheless I'm glad things turned out well in the end. |
 |
| If Ivy DOES give Sora that brand new potion, Sora better get a significant power-up from it Another feel-good episode. After being rejected and threatened by her own family and village, it warms the heart just to see people finally standing up for her. |

| Thank goodness, Ivy is safe. I was really worried when a bunch of bastards and bitches smirked at Ivy and her tent. Scary. Fortunately, there are a lot of guards. I just hope they catch the other two jerks who have escaped from being captured. Btw, her new friend is wonderfully animated. Ivy having fun is so adorable. 🥰  |
| 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. |
| will this be the village that Ivy will kinda-sorta-mighta settle down for a little while and end up becoming an adventurer? at least the guards were nice even though they all looked intimidating lol and i knew sora will want to eat the brand new blue potion ivy was given lol |
       |
| I do like the idea of Ivy finding people she can trust after all the shit she's been through, prior to her journey. Enjoyable episodes, apart from ep 3. |
| I'm in tear in this episode, finally Ivy meet a kind people. |
| MUST PROTECT AT ALL COST !!! 2X |
| good job Sora healing Ciel lol the one thing i wanted to see after episode 1 (i'm sure i commented it somewhere) was to see Ivy collect a bunch of strong tamed monsters, like dragons and tigers, and go back to her village to show off what they lost by kicking her out ... if she can tame this big cat (and i bet she will), that's one big step closer :D tho it seems the village is doing quite poorly, so maybe they will go dead before she gets to go back ... might be deserved tbh, don't tell me their awesome people with high stared skills can't keep their vllage safe lmao while the guards and shop people are so nice to her, there's always some idiots trying to steal lol glad to see that the guard knew about her situation and quickly beat the bad guys, fucking trash lol poor Sora wants the good potion, will Ivy give it? will Sora steal it while she sleeps? (wouldn't be the first time lols) |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |

Latome... The start of Ivy's luck finally turning around for the better. Starting with Ciel, Oggto, and many more to come herein after....

| It was nice to see that the intimidating looking guards actually helped out Ivy, especially after she told them the truth that she was from Latomi Village. On the other hand, while it was a shame that those bums tried to rip off Ivy because she had a nice looking tent, it's a life lesson that there are good-mannered positive people and others that will steal and cheat to get whatever they want. I wonder if we'll see Ciel again at some point as it would be good to have a bodyguard when Ivy is traveling through the forest. |
| Awww, we got the Big kitty, and Sora healed the cat. PET THE BIG KITTY, so cute. Too bad, the kitty is considered dangerous and can't actually travel with Ivy into the city. . And yea... all the guards look scary AF in Ivy's POV, lol. Also... adventurer's rest... thought it was going to be an Inn, but nope... It's literally just a Castle Yard square where people lay out their blankets or tents to rest... LOOOL... . hmmm... "lazy Joya bought a tent, but got a woman after and returned the tent"... sounds like this Joya guy... USED the tent... also, small and light huh... the tent looks pretty large compared to the other ones she saw before. . HAHAHA @ Sora's (●✧●) wanting the new potion. |

| Sounds like the village leader in Latomi is running it into the ground, or maybe the loss of Luba is causing them problems. Wonder how much everyone else knows though. I guess if they don't have wanted posters here, maybe they don't know the village put a bounty on a girl's head. Good forward-thinking from the guard captain, because that looked like a really expensive tent. Attracted unwanted attention right away. |

| i hope Ciel eat those bastard thugs! good thing nothing bad happened to Ivy! and thankgod one of the officials is there to stop those friggin' pests! 5/5. |
 |
| I have trust issues so I'm waiting for something tragic happening again after how nice everyone's been so far |
| This show is literally "nothing happens: the anime" of the season. Absolutely not worth the 23 minutes i wasted of my life watching it. |
 |
| Wow, that captain guardsman is such impressively kind person. Such people are so rare, unfortunately. |
| Wow what a heartwarming episode. Hopefully she immediately comes back for Ciel. I'm kinda worried for next episode now. |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| Ivy and Sora encountering a hurt adandala, and while the former is sad seeing it die before its hands, the latter just whiskes its way over it to completely heal and save its life. Together with the adadala, Ivy gives it its name: Ciel, a rather ambitious effort for a non-tamed monster. And going to Latome Village where a fearsome guard awaits those who enter its village, other than encountering someone who's trying to smuggle alcohol into the village, he gave to Ivy quite the scare before her entrance. But that being said, she's allowed to pass, gather resources and make a living...on top of the many guards making their rounds. And the same red-haired guard Oggto and his buddy Vellivera encountered Ivy while she's getting a tent, though they're surprised at her amount of money on her from completing dangerous quests back in Latomi. And with the guards' help, Ivy gets her very own tent. But as soon as she's about to leave, she meets a group of people trying to steal from her, that one guard manages to stop them before Ivy gets hurt any further. A rough start for Ivy in Latome Village, but I'm glad that this is a good setup. |

| i looked at ciel's face and i was like there something famine about ciel's face, then i looked at wiki and was like lol they wanted to make beasts gender obvious, i don't remember that in any series before and guards don't mess around lol sora's menu is changing the more sora eats and grows |
| Atleast Now There R Some Reasonable Adults Around Her , Nice! |
| Now She even tame another monster XD |

| Ivy finds an injured feline friend and Sora heals it, the large cat becomes friendly with Ivy. It seems like we found a new companion although she can't tame it. She names the large cat Ciel. Ivy finds a place to set up camp and needs a tent. Seems like she is going through the same loops meeting people and getting used to the business around the places she visits. Feels a little repetitive for an adventure style series. She gets into a scuffle over the tent she bought, some bandits try to steal from her in the camping grounds and the guard intervenes. I wonder if Sora is going to grow into a real communicative companion, it feels like Sora has been growing and eventually becoming more energetic. |
| She has a lot of money. What happened to that city? That guard isn't that scary. An insect made him scared. XD |
