Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S-Rank ni Natteta

While on an errand in the forest, retired E-rank adventurer Belgrieve stumbles upon a basket that holds an abandoned baby girl. Taking pity on her, Belgrieve decides to adopt the infant and names her Angeline.

Growing up, Angeline idolized her father, especially admiring his swordsmanship and wishing to become an adventurer just like Belgrieve once was. To fulfill this ambition, Angeline sets out to the royal capital. Over the years, she rises to S-rank, gaining the title of the Black-Haired Valkyrie. Despite surpassing her father, Angeline boasts about him and embellishes his exploits, generously calling him the Red Ogre.

At last, the time for Angeline to go back home has come, but she quickly realizes that various evil forces persist in preventing her from returning to her beloved father's side.

I won't take your time too long, so... Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S-Rank ni Natteta is a story about the importance of family. In contrast to the current extreme feminist offensive in real life, the authors of this story show how important the father's role is in parenting and in his attitude towards children, especially daughters. This not only provides support and shapes morality, but also prevents the emergence of pathologies. This anime beautifully made me believe that there are still normal people in this world and they remember about life facts.

Moreover, the whole storyline is told in a very ... pleasant way. The portrayal of the characters is interesting and each subsequent episode of this anime is a great pleasure to watch. After each plot, there remains a delicate note of curiosity about what is hidden behind the characters, so I count it as a pros as a plot depth.

The sound and animation art have their own style, but they are neither tragic nor revolutionary. The most important thing is that it constantly maintains one established fine level. Thanks to this, the presented anime creates one coherent image.

To sum up, I recommend this anime. Despite the certain overall simplicity, I give it a high rating of 9/10, because I really have nothing to be angry about and it was just a good relax for me as viewer.

Mixed Feelings

S-Rank Musume is a wholesome fantasy adventure that is dragged down by its mediocre production values and a larger story that is left unexplored and confusing.


Animation / Art / General Visuals - 6/10
-----------------------------------------------

While the art as a whole is generally fine, the weak animations put a damper on the numerous action scenes, robbing them of any serious weight. The action which should break up the slice of life, struggles to achieve its purpose as it's simply not exciting enough to look forward to.


Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 7/10
... ------------------------------------------

Pretty solid stuff. Nothing remarkable but nothing to bother you either.


Story - 7/10
-------------

The story is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand we have a wholesome family dynamic between a father and his daughter, and on the other, we have a grander fantasy storyline of demon kings and monsters, political drama and so on.

The father-daughter dynamic receives a good amount of attention and is quite nice and wholesome. The larger fantasy storyline however is poorly developed and confusing. Not much is explained, which creates this weird clash of themes within the show where you'll be enjoying the father-daughter dynamic, only to suddenly be greeted with poor action scenes of fighting against monsters or political opponents whose motivations aren't clear and who just seem annoying more than anything.


Characters - 7/10
---------------------

Characters aren't particularly noteworthy. The father being the better of the bunch, showcasing adorable fatherly love and care towards his daughter, as well as care and loyalty for the village they live in, and its people. The father is smart and strong, while lacking any ambitions that might generate an ego. He's humble and non-confronting where possible.

Daughter is more of a mixed bag. While loving his father dearly is a nice dynamic, she is utterly obsessed with him to the point of becoming distracting and silly. A 17 year old girl latching onto his dad for a better part of a day is borderline crazy.

Other supportive characters lack any serious depth, though at least they aren't annoying.


---

Total - 7/10

---

S-Rank Musume is a fine fantasy adventure story with a lovely family dynamic. However its wholesome slice of life struggles to really keep attention by itself, and the grander fantasy storyline with its monster fighting action isn't done well enough to support it.

Fantasy fans will probably enjoy this well enough, but don't expect to be particularly impressed.

Preliminary (10/13 eps)

I feel a bit frustrated writing a review for this series as I had high hopes for it after having followed the manga adaptation for a while. Unfortunately the anime has been very lacking both as its own series and especially compared to the manga adaptation,comparison on which much of this review is based.

I am not going to be going into the plot that much, as the basics of the setting can be found from the description of this page. Shortly its a fantasy-adventure story starring a father and a daughter with nice balance of action, drama and comedy (or at least it ought ... to be), with some nice mystery hooks.

The reasons for why I can not really recommend the series are mostly based on two points, the rushing of the plot, and the art-direction and quality of animation. I am constantly surprised when watching the series how quickly the just breeze through all the plot-lines, leaving them feeling rather unimportant, while also failing to adapt a plenty of nice little moments that brought the distinct sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, atmosphere of the manga to life. For the art&animation admittedly I am not familiar with the original VN but comparing both for example the art of the characters and animations as depicted to the how these were dealt with in the manga has left me significantly disappointed. It just screams low-quality to me.

All in all, I am going to finish the series but doubtful I'd ever re-watch it. The regretful part is, that it had potential for so much more.
