| I knew nothing about this anime before watching the first two episodes; just clicked on it out of boredom. I get the distinct feeling it was funded by the Japan Tourism Bureau. For an elf four times the MMC’s Earth age, Marie seems rather immature. Perhaps it squares with her status as a student. For some reason I expected her to be more worldly. I wish the MMC wasn’t so bland and timid. It’s like a disease so many anime share. How about a quietly intelligent, resourceful, compassionate, confident man sometime? I can relate to that. Marie is drawn in a few cheeky situations, clearly to draw the male gaze. Will it be enough to get an ecchi tag? I wonder if the source material goes there. The MMC (I forgot his name already) has a job, which he has to go back to. He’s a salaryman doing something forgettable, yet defying norms by clocking out at 6pm sharp daily. I wonder how much we’re going to see of Marie exploring Japan solo while he’s at work, even though she knows no Japanese and presumably has no money. The animation has its good and not-as-good moments. The OP and ED are forgettable. The story reads like a tourism brochure with a tiny, tiny bit of DND thrown in. But man, only a dolt of an adventurer would walk up to a sleeping dragon without enough foreknowledge/preparation just to see her eggs. *facepalm* |
