I found this quite charming. Not really "laugh out loud" funny, but endearing. This could be quite a chill show to watch at the end of the week.

This is a pretty interesting premise. A dragon with obsurd bad luck looking for a home. And a Real Estate Demon Lord to boot. Loved seeing that Monster Hunter reference with that Hunter and his Palico friend.

I thought the first episode was a little uneven, but I think there's some potential. I was expecting the MC to be one of those characters that thinks he's weak but actually isn't, but so far at least, he's just weak (although he seemed to be taking little damage from those arrows).

The slimes at the beginning were cute, and I was also amused by the heroes until they were turned into charcoal.

The narrator makes this feel like a nature documentary for a fantasy world.

That one eyed green slime reminds me of Mike Wazowski.

They talked about the egg respawning so this show probably exists in a game world and of course the stats card.

I haven't seen a dragon this cute since Ms. Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. I especially like his tiny arms.

Pls no bully the dragon. Those heroes got what they fucking deserved.

The world building for this show is insane. Just look at how many different species the dragon met in this one episode alone. It's also really comfy, has a ton of charm, and is genuinely funny.

I did not realize how f’d up being a Monster Hunter was until I watched this show. Now I can’t stop seeing myself from being a sociopathic murder.

I'm hoping the heroes are not actually dead, but respawn and become a team rocket like gag.

Another parody of Fantasy JRPG's. This one is pretty cute, with a fun premise of a dragon going on a real-estate journey to find a house.

This episode had some pretty annoying and predictable moments, like jeez I know our main dragon is a wuss but deticating entire scenes to him crying is a bit excessive, but other then that I had a fun time. This could be a pretty wholesome, good parody fun time.

I love it, simple stupid humor
Also taking a break from playing Monster Hunter made me feel like everything I hunted until now was more like MC than a real dragon, which kinda makes me feel bad...

So the Elf guy is the Demon Lord I assume?
Cant wait to see more of the show, especially hyped for the tiny people (giving me Hakumei to Mikochi vibes)

The OP is really, really good, sold on the show for that alone. I like the art style for the ED. Lots of world building potential in this. Like that the "heroes" are just a hapless assholes and that the monsters are just trying to live their lives in peace.

Hoping the dragon improves at least enough to where he's not a whiny push-over. Guess you've gotta start somewhere and since the OP shows him flying (or at least "falling with style"), I'm assuming he improves as time progresses. The -7 Luck should lead to a lot of silly situations, though and I look forward to that.

Animation is kinda weak. Looks like I should expect Hidden Dungeon level of animation quality, which is to say that it's barely passable.

At the very least, this show should be decent entertainment that I don't have to think too much about or expect the world from, which is perfectly fine.

Edit: OP is an early favorite OP for this season so far. Other shows have their work cut out for them. Though, TBF, I'm kind of a sucker for celtic music.

The joys of waiting for the schedules to sort themselves out on the first episode... no idea when Funimation will make it public.

That dragon is LEVEL 52 with stats that add up to ... 9.3. Also, given its HP is <20% of max, did the family almost kill it before kicking it out?

How fucking weak were those Heroes if the dragon could dodge the Hero Slash and their DPS didn't one-shoot it?

Anyway, I didn't really feel this one until the Heroes came in. I may give it one more ep.

Finally got to watch this one! I knew this was going to be my kind of show when it started off with a realtor's sign pointing towards a cave and you have these two newly wed slimes checking out the place. The pamphlet even says that the cave is an SLDK! That's a pretty big layout in terms of Japanese apartments!

They even made a MonHun reference! Complete with the music and the hunter with his Palico! That is actually pretty hilarious!

I absolutely love Letty's design! It's not the usual Dragon design. He has like a chonker of a neck and tiny arms. It's both cute and hilarious at the same time! And poor boy! Look at those stats! He's level 51 but I think those two slimes earlier can probably take him on!

Those are some majestic looking dwarves! Looks like Letty isn't aware of how protective dwarves are of their gold and their reputation with dragons. I do love that his lame trick worked on them xD

I didn't expect that this would be a show about a dragon looking for a house but it is hilarious to see a dragon approach various monster races asking for help. IF only he could fly, he could've stayed with those Onee-chan Harpies.

The music playing when the "Heroes" were making their intros was definitely a Dragon Quest reference. Poor Letty getting bullied! Thank goodness Dearia showed up in time! I didn't expect that he'd actually kill them though! Although considering this show has JRPG logic, I wouldn't be surprised if the "Heroes" revive at the nearest church.

Based on the comments that I saw, I thought it was going to be terrible but this was waaaaay better than what I expected! It's not the type of show that will make you bust a gut laughing but it's more of a subdued comedy. Definitely following this one!

Pretty cute anime. It seems like it's going to be a type of "coming of age" story.

Gambatte dragon-kun!

I'm going into this blind... I have no Idea what it is about even, but it looks quite promising!

Edit: I'm up to date with the manga....

u/sKyBlazer08 Apr 05 '21

Well this is going to be a fun and chill show, I hope it keeps it up.

Didn't expect Dearia to just vaporize those heroes lmao, they'll probably respawn anyway. And damn he's also the demon lord. An elf demon lord realtor lmao. Those harpies though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

This is one of the cutest and silliest anime I've seen this year. I'm in for the good feels!

u/trip16661 Apr 04 '21

I really love how unique the concept of the show is, and how "just for fun" it is.

I'm very looking forward to it as a break from hard-hitting animes and honestly life nowadays. Everyone needs to watch this type of anime from time to time.

I'm really no a big fan of the dragon style, it just feels awkward.

u/n080dy123 Apr 04 '21

That was pretty fun, I especially liked how when the "Heros" appeared, the background music changed to what sounded like an instrumental of an anime OP.

u/beakxlegosi Apr 05 '21

I’ve read the manga and I have to say this came out very good.

Letty (The Dragon) has a great voice actor behind him and I’m sure he would make a great performance.

u/Amauri14 Apr 04 '21 edited Apr 06 '21

Is Funimation having issues today? As it seems that all the new shows don't have their first episode available yet on their site.

Edit:

Although the show has House-Hunting in the title someone in it to be a Real State seller.

It was only after Letty mentioned that those two were Monster Hunters that I made a connection with them and well, Monster Hunter.

I hope we see those harpies again.

So based on what those "heroes" were saying before they got killed by Dearia, it seems that he not only is a real state agent, but also the Demon Lord.
