we know she was summoned from another world so why does she always have stories about the edo period but not about her Hometown,

is it something that gets discussed later or is it because the author didn't think of a setting for the other world?

I am curious about that as well.

Well, because it isn't author's focus πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. We get what author wants to tell and that's it.

The summoning of elf who is living in our world for 400 years was just a trick to teach us different things about Edo period Japan in each episode.

It should be evident by how Elda comes seemingly out of nowhere with the information at times. Beacuse I really don't care about the info, sometimes it feels forced even but idk people enjoy it I suppose.

I don't even know why I am watching this show at this point

Because then we would have plot development. Chekov's Gun is usually only fired at the last manga chapters in these stories.

For someone who already lives 400 years outside of their home, it shouldn't be weird for them to consider Japan as Elda's current home. So putting a perspective of her talking about the other world would need a sentiment like her longing for something, or someone, from there. In which case, that doesn't seem to be realistic since she's so preoccupied with her games and manga.

This anime is just a history lesson and an advertisement for a few different products. Don't expect much depth to it.

well she did live for about 200 years before being summoned, but I get what you mean about not longing for her home since maybe she didn't fit in for her personality or just had a boring life compared to here so she doesn't want to think of it

Have you been watching it with monitor turned off ? Or perhaps with no sound ?

No to both questions.

All 3 elves spent 400+ years on Earth so I think even they don't care much about their original world anymore, or feel homesick. It's also possible that their world is peaceful so they don't really worry about what's gonna happen to it. We don't know how elves are summoned too: Are they "kidnapped" from other world, or are they summoning elves who want to be summoned? Anyways, considering how well they're treated, and all the luxuries of modern times with all the foods and tech, I think they'd NOT want to go back even if offered.

When it comes to Elda, she may just be ignoring the topic simply because she'd get depressed. Who knows?

A lot of people are laughing at you, but it’s a good question. Tbh I would like to know what the point of the summoning was, but it just seems the show wants to be extremely laid back and not too deep on lore, kinda like Hidamari Sketch where the premise is cute girls doing art stuff. Even though they have their own unique backstories, they aren’t ever really fleshed out because the point of the anime is just an extremely well done slice of life.

thanks, I did notice that the whole summoning thing was just a way for the author to put an elf in the modern world, I really like the show for the way it is but I was still curious if they ever discuss it

this makes sense especially for elda, as an introvert she's probably way happier being worshiped rather than having to work and interact with people, and she wouldn't want to remember her dark memories there lol

While yes, I would say it is true that the show is a promotion boost for regional products, it is insulting to the show if it is classified as nothing but that. At the very least, the slice-of-life part is spot on.

it isn't in any way the main focus, it's just maybe 3 minuites of each episode, also the show in general is really good so give it a chance

They did talk about something from their original word once actually: How Bjorling Joring (AKA Tic Tac Toe) was popular and used to settle challenges between elves.

But yeah, they lived on earth way more than their original world, and have been treated great all that time, so of course they are happy here and consider it their "adopted world" if you will. Especially so for our Elda because of how much of a hikikomori she is. I would imagine the short elf that likes traveling talks to her miko about cool areas from her home world and what not though.

yea, that would explain it very well, like maybe it's a case of "I don't think they would care about it and there are way more interesting things to talk about here anyways"
