If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord

(12+) Ugh. Could have, should have, been a "9" or "10" in my opinion but the story got in its own way a couple of times. First, I think the male hero got a little too gushy over his adopted daughter, and the devil daughter he saves starts developing feeling for him (I think) that kind of put an adult spin on something that didn't need it. Also, some of the supporting characters seemed to acknowledge that the father/daughter relationship would morph into something else later when she was older... I didn't care for that, particularly with the name of the series having "daughter" right in it! I could be totally wrong, though, and reading too much into a few of the scenes, so I am still rating this an "8" and I think it is a good series worth the watch.

As much as the animation is gorgeous, the plot and the characters are just rather boring. It's just really like a typical dad/daughter anime but with only adding the fantasy genre and having the two main characters not be related because they are adventurer\demon.

I do get why the fans like this anime but I just found it was forcing itself to be a good fantasy anime when it was struggling so much. That's just my own personal opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree with my review but that's how I saw in this series.

Dale is a skilled adventurer in a fantasy world whose life is changed when he finds a young girl abandoned in the forest. She looks almost like an ordinary girl... she just has small horns indicating that she is a Devil. In this world devils all evil and he can't bring himself to abandon her so he effectively adopts her. He gives her the name Latina. She quickly learns the human language and is popular with the other adventurers at the inn Dale lives at. There is a question hanging over her; one of her horns is broken; this indicates she was rejected by her people.

If you were expecting a fantasy series with lots of fighting and adventuring you are likely to be disappointed. There is very little of either. Instead it centres on Latina getting used to human society and their acceptance of her. There are a few minor problems but in general the biggest upset for her is Dale going away adventuring. When he does we stay with her and watch her doing things like serving at the inn and learning to cook. In other words this is very much a cute 'moe' series. The episodes are fun to watch without excitement. The animation is good with impressive back grounds and nicely designed characters. There is one problem with it; it doesn't really go anywhere; as the final episode ended I was left thinking 'Is that it?'. Questions were left unanswered; presumably because the manga is ongoing. Overall though this is a charming little series so I'd still recommend it.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

This anime is pretty fun and has nice art style, but the series has its problems. At first i thought that its really good slice of life anime and i really liked that there wasn't an anime brother sister relationship between them but as the story progressed that changed.

The little girl that was clinging to him because she was scared because everything was new to her, became a girl with romantic feelings for her legal guardian and thats something that i hate and anime creators love.

Also the story doesn't really progress, don't get me wrong i know its a slice of life anime but its also a fantasy anime and i expected at least some action especially with that title but no, one episode after the other its all about how cute Latina is.

I wouldn't recommend this to someone, its not bad, but its not good either. Its the kind of anime that you forget that you ever watched them after a few weeks.

The story is very well written, however it is a slow boiler, taking time to flesh out the characters. It sets out the lands which the story takes place very well.

I find myself enjoying this as I would a good book,a good read slowly building on itself. Give this story time, and I think you too will enjoy it.
