The anime is very cute, I want to see what will happen and why her skill doesn't have any stars

Decent start to this pretty anime but it was a bit slow. It sucks that even her parents cast her aside and the only person that seemed to care about her was a fortune teller that passed away. Hopefully she stays safe on her journey to the capital and I wonder what she eats along the way.

This doesn't look like a good anime to me. Not much is explained at the beginning, so you're randomly thrown into a story of a girl whose on the run (but not in any hurry) from her village. She seems to be very young and yet she acts like she's "resolved", which I dont think works well for a child character without any build up to said resolve. Apparently she has no skills, and because of that her village chief wants to kill her. For some reason she has memories of a past life, but its like there is a second persona in her head, that randomly tells her stuff and the girl immediately blurts it out. Theres a random fortune teller that comes up that was allegedly kind to the girl, but there isnt any telling on when she met this fortune teller.
She comes across a slime and cant determine what it is even after being attacked by multiple slime (she called those slimes so she knows what a slime is).
Turns out she does have a skill, tamer (big surprise), but she very little talent in it (0 stars).
In the end she tamed the slime.

This was really beautifully drawn and animated, the characterization of Ivy was really well done.

It's technically an isekai, but doesn't really feel like one. Ivy definitely feels like her own person learning and living in this world that is hers, and not just someone who was transplanted here from another place. Even in reincarnation isekai, where they are born in the new world, they still tend to think, and act like their old world selves. But Ivy very much feels like her own character and is more just getting vague impressions of who she used to be, but who she used to be doesn't define who she is now, like most others.

I'm invested, can't wait to see more.

Not sure what to make of this.

The story as it was presented felt too fast and too slow at the same time.

This felt more like episode two of this show when episode 1 should have been showing us her life in the village and about the world and the skill system instead of tell use about it for 23 minutes.

I will keep watching but if it doesn't improve on this I may drop.

I did like the idea of her having conversations with her past life as it introduces an interesting dynamic that hopefully they with capitalize on.

What beautiful direction! I thought this would be the trash of the season, but it turned out to be a hiddem gem! Here's to praying the visual and directional quality won't take a huge hit by episode 2.

Has isekai memories, but show feels way more a classic fantasy.
pretty art & animation, soothing osts.
Great detail on healing & cute slime effects. unusual slimes born from plant sap.
oh that's depressing. Nice song during taming
That a lot of budget for a comfy ED.

Why didn’t they just start it off like the manga….it felt more emotional then and now it feels pretty rushed and it’s weird she’s just talking to herself with no explanation lol.

Just cuz it’s isekai doesn’t mean the anime adaptation always has to be bad…I hope it improves from here on out. The manga handled it very well they should’ve just followed that.

That was a pretty good start for an isekai . Looking forward to what's in store for Ivy.
This is from an LN by the way. I don't have any visibility about how popular the LN is but I guess they will manage to pique some people enough with this anime for them to pick up the source material.

Really boring first episode.

Random wandering loli is running from a village and tames a slime.. took way too much of the 21ish minutes for that. Should've had something interesting happen.

6/10 for now.

but i will give it a few more episodes.

The animation is fantastic. hopefully the story catches up to it.

It was pretty upsetting but reading some of the comments I somewhat ended up expecting like even worse things to happen to her than what happened this episode, so luckily that wasn't the case ahahah
I feel like in future episodes people will maybe look down on her because her tamed monster is a really weak one but I'm hopeful for the story to pick up in lightheartedness and she gets a happy life

- this anime looks beautiful
- mc is such a cutie, specially when she is rolling around lmao
- i don't think killing 5 yo kids because they have no stars is something they should do, at least make them leave the village or something? (tho that would show the outside world that the village is trash lol)
- i think they spent too much time saying the same thing tho, literally 20 minutes of "no one wants me", hopefully the rest of the episodes are not like that
- yay 1st companion, i was worried for a second but then i thought that there was hope of the slime being in the bag lol
- would be funny if she tamed some awesome animals like tigers, wolves, dragons etc, and then came back to the village to show them what they lost because of their lame ass mindset of killing their kids
- anyway, this one seems like an easy choice, i'll most likely watch this one till the end
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

Didnt expect the start to be this heavy. I didnt read the description or anything as I just look at covers then go straight into it so I thought this would be like the Fluffy Paradise in the same anime season, wholesome and happy. Apparently not. Looks like this series will be a more serious but not depressing journey. A inbetween serious and lighthearted.

The I'm assuming split personality in her head of her past life was a bit jarring. Like she just randomly answering a voice we cant hear. Guess thats just adding to the theme that she's been abandoned and is alone so she's got no one to talk to.

I was hoping this would be wholesome though but we'll just have to see how it goes.

More Slime series (sorta, LOL)

But dude... this already sound like it's going to be a major discrimination like some other series where people with or without certain powers are looked down upon and oppressed.

.

BTW... did she just "4th walled" in the beginning? LOL

But from the looks of it... it sounds like she has "dual personality" where one of the personality is talking to her in her head, but that personality is also an "Isekai".

IE: this Isekai personality did not take over (or merge with) the original person's body and soul like most Isekai series do.

.

Also... I see... that's how slimes are born eh? from Tree water.

(and they're super cute for some reason... plus very patient that'll listen to you for hours..)

And... NOOOOO, Not the long hair again... Why do they always cut the hair >_<

Well, I guess she's going to hide as a boy.

Are people without stars treated as worthless? I wasn't clear. I think you need to repeat it at least five more times. No need to get into the reasons, of course. Who would want that? Though to be fair Ivy wouldn't understand the motivations. Still, there wasn't a lot there. A lot of reiterating the very clear setup and Sora throwing off bubbles. The past life voice is at least a kind of interesting way to do things. Willing to give it one more episode.

She said, she has past memories like someone reincarnated into her body. But, the way she communicate to "bell" it's like she had an alter ego or spirit?
The feel watching the first episode is really something. And the Ending song with the visual video somehow make my mind blank. I love it? I guess.

This title is very much like Honzuki no Gekokujo, starting of as a slow-paced SoL, but later on more deeper and deeper plots shall be introduced, especially after the intro of the "black tiger", whatever its name is (I don't know whether 12 EP will cover that much tho. EDIT: yes it will, I just noticed the "black tiger" is in the trailer). It's sad tho that the adaptation skipped the granny fortune teller, and the things that she tought her (especially her food prep and cooking skills). Granny's so wholesome, it's a shame.... Maybe we'll be having a flashback to introduce what's actually happening in the village in EP02? I just want to see granny, okay....

Production-wise tho.... I don't need to say more nor try to convince anyone. A single glance into the EP and you'll be treated to one of the best production quality (visual and aural) in the entire season. I haven't seen Massket before, maybe this is their first project as it's primary studio (I think they did have some experience helping out with some anime before), but at least the 1st EP is stuning, NGL.

The cinematography sure is different. So many close up face shots and I mean a lot. Not that that's bad but just different. I'm not sure how the light novel starts but I will say this is very different than how the manga starts. Some very important details were omitted but maybe there'll be flash backs in upcoming episodes cause they wanted to immediately get to the tamer/slime part.

EP 1

So I'll be honest I dont remember anything about this at all.
That being said while I'm a bit late I'm surprised there's so many people, curious. well we'll see if they stick around for ep 2
First episode intensifies


Ok so uhm. it's a really weird episode because the entire episode is basically the main character talking to herself for 20 mins
She's cute thats for sure but its a really strange thing. at least there's maybe something but uhh yeah
Its a really weird feeling.

Wow 20% of people really gave this an 8/10 for the first episode itself? sheesh.

Apparently our main character ivy (still havent really gotten used to that name) is voiced by aina suzuki?? Dang I'm so used to her voicing uh, definitely not girls like this thats for sure.

I'm really not sure guys, it says something when I have the vibes to just drop it from one ep, and I really am not the type of person. I really dont want to drop anime
I suppose it'll be ONE MOAR EP, see you guys next week.

So right now she's managed to tame one little tiny slime, picked up some items and...is that just going to repeat every single episode?
Because the cover image looks completely different, but what do I know, the cover image lies sometimes. Or maybe the first episode itself is the trap, who knows.

At first, I thought I was going to drop this anime: Isekai and generic title. But the first episodes give me hope.

I enjoyed it. The story felt expressive and conveyed the feeling of loneliness very well. I'd love to see more if it keeps this up and has an interesting plot. Excited for the next episode.

@CocoaGalaxy anime direction is new and different compared to manga and LN but it's bit successful ? There are lot of people that want to check the next ep.

The reason because i read that a lot of people saying if the anime start with child abuse scene they will drop it in the first episode.Even if the story direction is better in manga or LN.

That was a genuinely good first episode. It's interesting that her past life operate like a different entity that argue with her, and (at least so far) she is actually weak instead of the usual "I'm the world's weakest [BLANK], but I'm actually the strongest!".

This episode gives me hope. While I dislike the concept that ordinary practical skills cannot be learned in this world (or just never are because why have scientific progress if you're given skills with zero effort), the story and the character seems to have potential.

The pacing is just right for what it tried to depict. Many shows try to compress introspection and emotions that require a good 15 minutes of development into 1 minute. That makes them fall flat and you feel nothing at all. It's done right here.

Can't believe I was going to skip this one because it might been related to that other show with tamers and waifus that though it wasn't a bad show it was pretty mid.

The premiere episode reminded me a lot of the first episode of To Your Eternity, really strong visuals and a strong sense of survival. The whole premise might be a tad too edgy (little girl that nobody loves and she's even wanted dead by her own peers) but it's still quite phenomenal in it's direction and main character. Having watched episode 1 & 2 also reminds me a bit of olf classic Remi's nobody's boy, both young protags are looking for a way to survive on their own with their own skills and whatever nature provides.

I really can't stop gushing how well the compositon of backgrounds and character(s) mesh so well.

The episode starts a little confusing in a chase, where our mc rans away from some people. Throughout the episode we find out that the mc is getting chased because she has a skill with no stars and because of that the people of her village want to kill her.
The mc talks multiple times with someone, probably herself from her past life? We will surely get the anwser to that question in the following episodes.
But to get back to the point, the episode was really well made and the scene at the end, with the mc taming the little slime was really beautiful.
Im eager wo see the next episodes to see where the journey will bring the mc.
