I think I've found the most wholesome series for the season. Cecilia is so cute and funny, and it appears that she likes Lawrence. Meanwhile Lawrence is a good guy that takes care of Cecilia and doesn't like her in the same way, at least not yet.

The tailor lady that makes wedding dresses, she's observant (and funny) as it looks like she picked up on Cecilia being obsessed with the wedding dress since she whispered to Cecilia that she'd make one for her and Cecilia blushed and run off lol. The umbrella scene, too bad the rain stopped but at least Cecilia got carried away after she fell onto a puddle of water. Looking forward to the next episode!

Great Iyashikei. So healing & wholesome. Smooth animation & soothing colourful art. The voice acting wasn't bad, but nothing too memorable. Good use of nuanced background music that fits the setting well. Hope it remains as such throughout the series with no annoying characters or quality decline.

Seems like its going to be a very wholesome anime!
Her reactions alone are enough to make you want to keep watching.

Great beginning episode! Lawrence and Cecilia's relationship is cute. Cecilia loves Lawrence so much she even does not try to hide...

This anime was so sweet! I can tell from the opening that Cecilia has feelings for Lawrence, her bashful side is so cute. It's cool that she can instantly switch from "lazy mode" to "saint mode", she must've had some expert training, but Lawrence is pretty dense to why she only reveal her laziness to her. I know it's her duty to protect the village, but I hope she gets a chance at romance. That I pray to!🙏

They must adhere to the Holy Bible and not engage in lewd conduct.  The clergy is not allowed to do those things.  If they do, they will be excommunicated by the Pope.

Cute and chill. A little boring but entertaining enough so far. I do wonder if they will explain how Cecillia became a saint. At first I thought it was an error in word choice but she talks to angels depicted as orbs so that cleared that up. 

If anyone is wondering why the clovers in the OP. The Celts believed four leaf clovers to be magical protective items warding off evil and bad luck. When Christianity came to Ireland they adopted the clover symbolism, it's said that Saint Patric used to three leaf clovers to explain the trinity so four leaf clovers became to mean faith, hope, love and God's grace as a reinterpretation of Celtic beliefs.  

I like the ED song.

While the manga for this series predates OTAKU ELF by a few years, and that clearly lifted a few ideas from this, I still kinda prefer OTAKU ELF a bit more with its contemporary setting, historical references to the Edo period and general ‘otakuness’.

Right now, the dynamic between Cecelia and Lawren, is fairly typical anime rom-com, will-they won’t-they fare. I’ll stick around for a bit to see if it gets more engaging, but so far it makes me just want more Otaku Elf. 😂

Hmm, this is going to be a fluffy series... OwO



For now, I won't call this religious but their relationship sure is interesting. Btw, time to call the cops.

I think it should be Saintess than Saint. 😮‍💨

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.

Umaru must be very happy meeting with Cecilia, since they both lookalike by those quick changing. Fear not, well, not even once. Cute loli Saint is all i need on my barren weekend. So yeah, forget about the dense Pastor Lawrence and his shenanigans. This is a nice show to fill up my hollow wholesome rom-com slot. Doga Kobo never fails...

So cute! 

This was the series that I was most looking forward to and its not disappointed. Its adorable and wholesome. Love the fluffy vibes. I'm a huge fan of holy stuff like Angels and saints so this Priest/Saint romance is great. Plus the gap between her outer appearance and how she acts with him is a cute gap. 

Its also nice to hear some new voices. The saints voice I've never heard before.

it was ok. not sure i'll find it interesting enough to finish the whole season or not, but at least for now it's fine

best part was when she asked what she had done to the weather for it to hate her and then promptly tripped and faceplanted into a puddle. made me laugh

Was watching the anime with the giant cat, a lot of comments were saying how it was the most cute and wholesome show of the season, to which a reply was given: "Saint Cecelia and Pastor Lawrence would like a word." Curiosity piqued, and here I am, and yeah they were write. Adorable through the roof. And as if it was an added bonus, it was a pleasant surprise to see that this was actually being adapted by Doga Koba. I've always held them in high regard from the start, acknowledging their high quality on whatever they get their hands on. But after Oshi no Ko, I feel like you just HAVE to at least give a chance to ALL their projects from now on, you feel me? And yeah, we get another anime that looks to absolutely solid with a very good production quality once again. Nothing jaw-dropping, but just a very refined and clean-looking art style as always. This did feel like a bit of a long episode, but maybe that's because I just finished watching the first 3 episodes of Helck each of which felt like no longer than 5 minutes each.

It's good, but maybe just maybe MIGHT get old eventually for me personally, but still unlikely. I dig the ED.

I wasn't going to bother with this but ended up with a spare 20 mins and you know what, it really is super cute and wholesome.

I figure I'll need to find some time for this now.

Based religious anime.
Very cute first episode, i except a full real hetero anime (rare nowadays)
Is an anime anti mental illness and degeneracy. Anime fans are scared about this, they are used to ship same gender characters 🤢 and i highly doubt that this anime will have a gender confused weirdo. Big approved

yes, I agree.. some people worry about the religious side
