Is this anime a parody?

A floating mascot that says "moru" at the end of every phrase... like in those japanese shows for children, where a bear character ends everything with "kuma", a dog with "wan", etc.

A maid that talks like a 5 years old.

A dense MC who can't connect the dots over the years and realize the identity of his "squire".

And the generic fantasy plot source comes from a... mobile game?

You can't help but wonder how does a thing like this even get funded. I guess in-app purchases from the game are that good to buy an expensive TV ad like this.

Like Granblue Fantasy, King's Raid, Shironeko Project, and any other cheap mobile games advertisements. Lots of players and donations -> popularity -> advertisement anime.
It's not the first time the anime industry doing something like this.

Guessing you weren’t a fan of “Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear” or it’s minisode spinoff “Bear Bear Bear Kuma” 😆
But you’re right, the anime has deployed the off-the-shelf array of character tropes in full force, simply to appeal to the widest possible audience and draw in as many new players as it can. I’ll be VERY surprised if it moves beyond “season-long-commercial” to any degree 😐
And as excited as i was that Tsuda Kenjirou was the narrator of CAW:B, i was actually disappointed to hear him in this show, and as standard-issue “beard guy with eye patch” no less. Seems like such a waste of his talent 😕
