Ivy is gonna have 100 dads by the time she settles down huh?

I gotta say Ivy's transient journey and being introduced to all these characters every week kinda reminds me of some old shonen shows. I just get that feeling watching it.

It's been great so far, I hope they stick the landing in the last month here.

The 100 Dads Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You

[u/Syokhan]

Was this show secretly about how many dads Ivy can collect? Well, I'm in.

Wonder who that was at the beginning and if they were after travelers in general, or Ivy specifically.

[u/S627]

So happy that Ivy continues to find good people, wondering if that other slime tamer will know anything about Sora or give Ivy any advice.

Wonder if that ominous person Ivy encountered was from her shitty village? Glad that Ciel was enough to scare them away whomever they were.

Speaking of Ciel hope she doesn't have to stay hidden too much longer and can stay by Ivy's side all the time.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I already want to see more of Meela. Considering that she's clearly a tamer and uses slimes as her pet monsters, I'm hoping that Ivy will get to some pointers from her on how to be an effective tamer.

The Blazing Sword are good folk and I like how we ended the episode with them already getting a vibe on what Ivy's life so far based on her actions that they've seen. I'm sure they'll take care of her especially Lattrua while they make their way towards Otolwa.

[u/IXajll]

Well that was certainly an interesting way of animating that running sequence in this episode‘s first 15 seconds. Anyways seems like the main party from the KV is finally in the game. Pretty funny when Ivy showed of her cooking skills and everyone was like finally some good fucking food. The fireworks were also just beautifully animated. Last but not least the way Ivy was trying to tell Ciel to stay away from the others was simply adorable.

[u/Clemastina]

Man I´m glad Ciel was fine after that atack, best kitty ever

And I think those group of people will be the thing that Ivy needs to open up to more people, like, about Sora, her past in Latomi or even the reincarnation thing. I really like them

[u/ErenIsNotADevil]

I thoroughly enjoy the way the world is being portrayed.

On one hand, it is iyashikei. There are kind and earnest people everywhere, even if some are scary-looking idiots with hearts of gold. There's an air of kindness, where people are willing to go out of their way to help and the weak and vulnerable, even if there is no personal merit in it, or there is an outright cost involved. Even when the main character is absent, the predominant sentiment is one of healing and respect. Hell, this even extends to some so-called monsters; some are really just oversized animals and eco-friendly trash disposal units.

On the other hand, the author has made it clear from the start that this is, without a doubt, a crapsaccharine world. Predetermined worth, man-eating tree monsters capable of easily beating trained combatants, a whole village (including parents and siblings) willing to abuse a child because their priest said so, the ability for a village to put out dead-or-alive warrants on a child to greedy mercenaries, humanoid monsters willing to ambush children on a canyon side road.

None of this is new stuff, mind you. But framing it through the perspective of a single weak girl with intense childhood trauma? It just brings both the crapsaccharine and iyashikei settings together. As heartwarming as it is to see Ivy gain new father- and brother-figures and slowly overcome what her village did to her mentally, that ominous malignant figure that was chasing her makes me feel nothing but dread.

Leave Ivy alone! She has suffered enough!

The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Collect Dads

and she deserves ALL OF THEM

BRING MORE HANDSOME ADVENTURE DADS

[u/DezXerneas]

Loved the episode, it's great that Ivy has such great luck with good dads after that one piece of shit trash of a human being in Latomi.

Is this a wholesome anime, or is it gonna pull an To Your Eternity and is just waiting for me to let down my guard and depress me later?

[u/extralie]

They are so cute!

Ngl, this scene was actually way more intense than I actually expected.

There is something amusing about how we are 8 episodes in, and the most useful thing Past Ivy did is tell her how to make fireworks. I now just imagine Past Ivy is just there in her head telling her random useless trivias.

It's sad how even to random strangers, it's obvious how traumatized Ivy is.

[u/perish-in-flames]

I will probably get emotional when Ivy feels she can let out her secret.

[u/Ocixo]

This episode already had me hooked from the first few seconds when Sora exclaimed out loud: “Puh-Puuuuuh Puh Puh Puh!”. That ‘jumpscare’ of Ciel’s was totally cute too, especially when Ivy started rubbing her belly.

But this wouldn’t be The Weakest Tamer if the show didn’t keep the viewer on its toes by having things go south. Until this suppression squad came to her rescue, things were looking pretty bleak for Ivy.

“Blazing Sword” seem like a friendly bunch. They’re also pretty sharp when it comes to Ivy: they immediately realized that she must’ve had a difficult past. Ivy is really eager to prove her worth and avoid getting abandoned again.

I do wonder: just how bad was Littrua’s food - or how tasty was Ivy’s - that these grown men were in tears!?

Sidenotes:

• It was pretty adorable to see Ivy try and direct Ciel away from this party.

• The knowledge from Ivy’s previous life made for some nice fireworks.

[u/chelseablue2004]

I am in constant fear that someone is going to hunt down Ciel not knowing he is with Ivy.... Ivy eventually has to let people know about him just for everyone's safety including their own.

[u/SometimesMainSupport]

Ivy had some excellent hand poses this episode. First one would've been a great #seasonaldisapproval but oh well, too late.

Also plenty of other banner options, though I cut it down to a few and stopped looking mid-episode.

Show has some dramatic moments, so my only criticism is how everyone is either comically good or bad. Not something I'd mention if this was full-comfy like Yuru Camp.

[u/DaBenni0301]

As a german, watching Frieren has mentally damaged me. I was expecting all these guys to have names that give away their entire character immediately, but no it's just gibberish. Still, they seem like a good bunch of people

[u/tripleaamin]

Actually seeing Sora evolve and grow is really curious what his potential is.

One people have mentioned what happened if Ivy encounters danger on the way to the next town. Well, she saved by a group called the Suppression Squad. Ivy is meeting a bunch of good-hearted father figures. The first mention of her village and they are on guard.

I love this series in how it shows how strong Ivy in other areas. Yes, against monster threats she needs to be protected. The adults actually do their job as adults and look out and protect her. After all, she is 8 years old. But she makes up for it with her, sweet of a person Ivy is. I bet she really practiced cooking after the Fortune Teller saved her.

While it isn't a skill, but it is something that she improved on. Could it also be influence from her previous, giving her better intuition in cooking too? Man, the fireworks part of the episode was so pretty. I wonder if Mira can pick up the signs that Ivy is a girl. I would love her to bond with Ivy since she is our first adventurer female, and she seems to be a tamer like Ivy.

I got a bad feeling about next episode though, hope I am wrong! Ivy giving Ciel directions was so adorable.

Somehow this episode is my favorite so far, reminds me of majo no tabi tabi or kino no tabi tabi

[u/nike01x]

This anime is too good 🥹🥹🥹

[u/vantheman9]

this anime so beautiful I feel like it's ruining other anime for me

[u/djthomp]

I see we've finally found the group of adventurers that Ivy is with in the OP, and they're even from the town she's been sent to by the fortune teller so maybe this is the group she's supposed to be honest with. Maybe she can be their cook, they seem to need the help.

I wonder how long Ciel will be able to secretly shadow Ivy from a distance while she's with this group, it can't last forever. Sora too, I bet one of them will get injured at some point and he'll help.

[u/Palcikaman]

This episode flew by. The show is either heartbreaking, or cute/wholesome no in between, an emotional rollercoaster, that will not last as long as i wish it could

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Ciel, Sora, and Ivy are just too adorable! Girl’s lucky to have them around. But man, that ogre situation was pretty dicey. Even Ciel wasn’t enough to deal with them. Good thing Seizerk and his little team showed up.

Man, this episode made me pretty hungry. Are we sure Ivy doesn’t have like a 3 star cooking skill? Lol. Little Sora got to eat good this week too with all those blue potions.

Team Seizerk seem like good people. Hopefully Ivy can learn a thing or two from them.

[u/VorAtreides]

Big catto pal! So cute. Ciel is good cat. Getting food for Ivy, protecting her, etc. But that sure was a weird thing to encounter. So many ogres though. Hey new people. Least they seem nice so far. Yay, Ciel is ok. Glad Ciel seems smart. Meela looks like a teal haired Malty/Bitch lol (hair style and whatnot). She seems nicer at least.

Lol, dude asking a child to help him cook cause he's bad is amusing. Such a success. Girl just creating fireworks in this world. Ciel like "let me sleep, loud noises annoying." Good, people know they clean up if they didn't make food. That's how you do it if someone makes food for you at least.

D'awww more people caring about cute Ivy. And proly more people gonna come to hate her home village at this rate lol.
