Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai.

(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.

This is a touching tale - I am surprised that more people don't like it.

Dale is such a great guardian to this little devil-girl and he fusses a lot about her, although he loves being an adventurer but when he decides, although just a young man himself barely into manhood to adopt this shunned demon girl, we see a different side to him. He soon becomes her protector and the prime object of her affection; as she instinctively is drawn to his kindness and care. A wholesome delight to see her grow out of her self-castigation and bloom to be the sweetest and most cherubic little girl, far more mature than her 8 years old. Yet despite her intelligence, industry and unintended popularity; she remains an earnest and sincere friend to all, granted the rare ability to see the good in others!

Being a guardian melts the rigid and adventurous heart of.a brave and stoic young man; himself barely into manhood. Warm, vulnerable and piercing grey eyes and a genuine winsome smile makes Dale adopt a shunned demon girl. He soon realises fate had brought him a gentle, loving and obedient child on the brink of starvation. And connect they do; becoming her protector and the prime object of her affection; as she instinctively is drawn to his kindness and care. A wholesome delight to see her grow out of her self-castigation and bloom to be the sweetest and most cherubic little girl, far more mature than her 8 years old. Yet despite her intelligence, industry and unintended popularity; she remains an earnest and sincere friend to all, granted the rare ability to see the good in others!

I doubt if anyone can see this series and come away stoic and unmoved.

Celebrate the beauty of a quite and humble spirit as is Latina!

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.

As much as I enjoyed the series the overwhelming pedo situation made me feel slightly uneasy. People keep bringing up the father/daughter relationship and I get that but the truth is they aren't family and he's def WAAAY to obsessed with her. I felt kinda dirty watching it.
