The first episode and the mini anime premiered at Anime Expo through HIDIVE (censored). I'm not sure if the mini anime will have its own entry, but they were shown together, so let's go.

Mn... the main portion is okay. The animation can be a bit limited sometimes, it seems. They threw in a montage to get those still frames in and everything. I think they could have done more to bring a bit more life to this anime. It's kinda at the point where it's probably better to just read the manga... or the other manga. The anime doesn't really add to the experience so far.
Perhaps I'll appreciate the anime more depending on which version I'm watching? At least if it wasn't the censored version then there would be more to look at. Still, it wasn't bad, just could have been better.

As for the mini anime, holy moly, I've never seen a room with folks so antsy and just wanting to leave. I guess it was supposed to be educational, but watching the chibi versions just kinda talk about exercise and then watching chibi Elfuda painstakingly do the exercises while a few fry jokes are thrown in just was not hitting. It got to the point where people were just talking through that part of the anime. And even if I find that rude, I kinda can't blame them. It's one thing to help educate people on exercises, but it was just kinda useless to see some chibi trying to do sit ups and such-- especially since it took up so much time. It felt like forever. Perhaps it's meant for people to follow along for some parts? Still, it was rough to watch in a setting where you can't just do sit ups. There are other anime that demonstrate the exercise briefly and then make it a plot point or something while there are other anime that want you to follow along with the exercise. This one is like a parody of that or something because even if you want to follow along, you're at Elfuda's pace which is... difficult in its own way.

Hopefully the next episode can fix anything and keep things interesting!

EDIT: Was able to watch it uncensored. It's better. The censored circles were so distracting. The boobs are free. Long live the boobs.

We have plenty of ecchi this season, but can they truly be considered ecchi if they don't go all out and actually deliver high-quality ecchi content?

Well, now we have one that promises to do just that—no more censored stuff, but fully uncensored... will it be on the same level as Winter's Mahoako though?

Right off the bat you can tell this'll be an ecchi. Thankfully uncensored all thanks to HIDIVE. But other than that, this is such a stupid premise that I can't help but laugh at. Think you can immediately tell this elf is from the west. "Fries are vegetables!" ??? LMAOOO. Girl is obsessed with those fries I swear lol. But in the end, Naoe helped Elfuda... or not. Girl went straight back to that McDonald's and going back to square one. I understand the pain Elfuda.

A weight-loss anime that's also an ecchi... what a combo. I'M IN.

It's just like the manga even if it's been years since i read it.
For those interested losing weight is for 80% down to the food you eat the rest is exercise which shouldn't be over looked.
The biggest question here is will our Elf go home long term at some point.

Well, the version that HIDIVE got is the fully uncensored Mecha Pote Pote version, but too bad it's cut short by half its runtime, which is a shame.

The SFW name for vanilla H manga artist Methonium a.k.a Synecdoche's comedy manga about a plus-sized elf, that says it all.


Naoe Tomoatsu and Ino Ahiko are dietary doctors helping people with their weight problems...and in comes Elfuda, a literate plus-sized elf in need of her weight loss issues. And aside from her rather bulgy stomach, Naoe giving her treatment so that she can go back home, and she can't resist thanks to greasy food like fast food French fries that made her overweight. And even with some weight programs later, Elfuda is back to eating junk food once again...this time because of a weight limit. Oh well, it's back to square one all over again.

When you have VA Naomi Oozora, the voice of Uzaki-chan as Elfuda, it's a gem on the docks.

So much budget got for the boobies that the run time is half of a normal anime.

Elfuda is from a English-based country.

You know that Elfuda is not on her right mind when, she eats cold french fries.

Wasn't expecting the main anime to be only half the episode while the other half was a chibi exercise segment.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

They messed up. I'm not the biggest fan of large chicks, but the manga artist pulled it off marvelously with his fanastic artwork. Unfortunately the anime is extremely low quality (as expected of a hentai studio) and the character designs are unnecessarily exaggerated. Those beer bellies just don't look appealing at all. I expected as much, but it's a shame even a short anime can't get any budget or good staff simply for being an ecchi...

Well at least there wasn't a female girl going "kyaaaaah" when her boobies busted out. Those moments are annoying. I read the manga and it's basically the same, nothing fancy and nothing great but still watchable since it's only about 11 minutes long.

Better late than never. Have been looking for this for a while as it's one of the funnier ecchi manga around. Sadly only half length episodes along with a chibi part. Oh well, at least we finally made it.

This show is definitely going to be divisive. With the concept itself turning off a group of people instantly, and then with the episode duration. However, I actually thought this was a perfect episode and I don't mind it being shorter since I highly doubt there's much of a story with this thing and it's just a fun fetishy ecchi. Not usually into fat girls but anime has a weird way of making fetishes I'm not usually into sexy so imma definitely keep up with this.

This was alright although I'm not a fan of plus sized girls(muscular chicks are hotter), but this is just what I expected from a hentai studio with the 11 minute runtime. Calling Elfuda plus sized is an understatement because she's fat by both Asian and Western standards. There's a difference thickness and just being obese. This is an anime that is easy to get through for a silly ecchi series.

This episode is making me hungry for fried potatoes french fries.

Came for the titties, stayed for the titties. Uncensored is a W.

Doesn’t look like this’ll be anything more than a fun gag show which is cool, it’s only an 11 minute runtime and the first episode didn’t overstay its welcome. I say things getting old with Elfuda relapsing on her French fry addiction, but as long as the other girls are funny I think this show will be alright.

Nothing revolutionary and the girls aren’t my cup of tea, I’m know big girl enthusiasts going crazy over it tho 😭 but it’s not the worst way to pass 11 minutes at the end of the Saturday seasonal line up.

BBW ladies anime is finally here, it’s not the only body type I’m into but I can assure you I am into it lol, and this was a good start. Of course it’s a shame it’s just half length episodes, but I knew that going into it, plus there is the chibi bit which makes a whole episode if you watch it, and I did this time, it had some interesting facts about losing weight which I liked, but I’m not sure if I will watch it going forward, might just skim through it since part of the reason I’m watching this day of is because it’s short enough to make it happen lol.

And Elfuda certainly is a beautiful babe, both in chubby form and in her original/post-weight loss form, I understand her love for fries too but I’m not sure if I’m as obsessed with them as she is lol. Naoe is also a nice MC, I enjoyed him trying to keep Elfuda in check during her diet, and I’m excited to see how he reacts to any other girls that might walk through the door. And I was surprised to see Elfuda actually lose her weight in this episode, I thought the whole show was about that, but she immediately rebounded so it thankfully wasn’t the end of deliciously thicc Elfuda lol.

And that was a silly but fun ED, and I’m a fan of the visuals even if it’s just slowly panning up Elfuda’s curvy body lol, I’m a simple man. This is definitely gonna be a nice ecchi way to end Saturdays this summer.

So I assume some intern messed up and didn't include the exercise segment in the episodes. I can't find it anywhere on HiDive, the official paid stream. Also yeah the animation is pretty rough. Stiff animation, a lot of stills. Hell the ED animation is just a panning shot on a pin-up of Elfuda. This seems really low budget. Made me think I was watching a 2005 hentai animation. Couldn't they ask a Hentai Animation Director to helm this project? I was hoping for Maken-ki or Valkyrie Drive style body animation.

This show is perfect for BBW lovers. And I certainly wasn't expecting full frontal uncensorship. Glorious.

Elfuda (very punny name), should look into air fryers for reduced oil/no-oil options, and drinking club soda instead of high fructose corn syrup colas.

It's amazing how she lost that much weight in only one month.

I knew she'd be back. Rebounding is a bitch. Food addiction is no joke.

Also...WTF, 11 minutes per episode? I was expecting a typical half hour at least. I hope it's not like this for the rest of the series. I wish they put more into making this series, but then again, it is a pretty niche audience.

Terrible, it looks like one of those rushed, outsourced adaptations with a weird transition and it also looks like a slide show of a school project. Well, it's a regular studio, I didn't expect much, but I also didn't imagine it would be so bad. Even though it's only 11 minutes, it's not worth watching just for the ecchi. It's a shame, because the manga is really good

An interesting show to say the least. Im suprised at how much happened in this first episode. I thought the entire anime was gonna be about following Elfudas weight loss journey but no, in one episode shes loses all her weight returns home and comes back and becomes overweight again.

The animation is alright though its kinda disappointing that the episodes are only eleven minutes long. (peak) Shows like this deserve full length 20 minute episodes, but i guess we get what we get. Im also kinda surprised that its uncensored though i'm not complaining.

Overall a solid episode, it was pretty enjoyable.

I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.
