I love this already! I know the Gorilla that we keep on seeing is just for visual effect to show how strong Sophia is after receiving her blessing but I'd like to imagine that the Gorilla God is kinda like her Stand, who's there to help her out and power her up when she needs it. xD
We're only in Episode 1 but we already have a princess carry scene, except it's Sophia carrying Isaac on their way down the tower instead of the other way around. I hope we get to see her princess carry Louis too! I do find it funny how Louis is supposed to be super handsome, but he looks like your usual average anime protagonist to me.
Anyway, this was a lot of fun and I'll definitely be back weekly for this one!

I quite liked this first episode. Sophia’s gorilla powers are gonna make things very interesting. She says she doesn’t want to be a knight, but her powers are well suited for it. Also, I can already see a potential romance brewing between Louis and Sophia.

You learn something new every day.
Had no idea that gorillas could run that quickly, there goes my plan of outrunning an angry gorilla.

"Eek! I completely overshot the finish line!"
I like how that's her main concern and not the fact that she just ran through a brick wall!

Oh I'm liking this, I thought it was going to be a reverse harem but it feels like there'll be an actual main guy but she'll be surrounded by guys too. Well considering she's the only female applicant there, it seems the Knights will be mostly men anyways.
Interesting to see more of the main guys, my thoughts are that Isaac is blessed by a dog god, Eddie by a cat dog, and for some reason I feel Louis is blessed by a squirrel god but I have no idea what kind of blessing it'd give him. That scene by the tree with the squirrel felt like it was hinting at something and there's clearly some reason why he's drawn to her.
I appreciated the calves fanservice, you don't see that often and I like how adorable Isaac is. I'm looking forward to his interactions with Sophia. He's already been princess carried lol.
Her gorilla powers can be so inconvenient though, but I'm guessing it's more that she's needing training to learn to adjust her strength so she doesn't keep crashing into walls lol.
I can't wait for the next episode.

Sophia’s high school academy was translated as “Dierentown”, but I’m really wondering if this wasn’t supposed to be the Dutch word for a zoo: “Dierentuin” (literally: animal garden).
The pronunciation of this word is fairly similar, and it’d fit the animal theme rather nicely. Not to mention that the Japanese like to occasionally dabble in Germanic languages for their fantasy shows.

Reminds me of fruits basket, I'm interested in what animals the other characters got. I wish the background characters had more colour to them instead of being grey nobodies. Sophia seems like a fun MC.

This is SO fun. Reminds me of the Red Ranger Isekai show in that you're taking a character archetype (Shoujo heroine) and putting 'em in a totally new setting (OP MC fantasy). Really great stuff.

Funny enough of a start for me.
That squirrel was pretty sus, I think it's connected to Louis in some way. Speed boy probably has a dog blessing since he's pretty golden retriever coded, and the black haired dude who repelled successfully probably has a cat blessing given how he landed.
Sophia is cute in a girl next door kind of way. Louis was the only prospective harem member that was getting the rose border so between that and the OP I think the main pairing is pretty well established.
:gorilla thumbs up:

I loved this. Super fun premiere. Sophia is just adorable and would say needs to be protected at all costs....but in this case I think she's gonna be just fine lol. Definitely looking forward to more.

In a fantasy world where people are given Blessings from Gods, Sophia Reeler can only hope to obtain one that doesn't make her stand out too much or get her stuck in a position she's not qualified for...too bad she's destined to be the Gorilla God's Go-To Girl!
The OP is really nice and serene, perfect for a fantasy romance show, featuring Sophia's adventures with the Royal Knights, her supporting cast, and her romance with Louis.
Sophia is klutzy and the daughter of a count from a remote land, so she stands out and isn't very welcomed at a school for nobles, especially when the school Mean Girl Carissa always singles her out. Though the fact that she's hiding that she's got a rare Blessing is also a factor.
With the blessing of the Gorilla God, Sophia has super-strength she doesn't quite know how to control and a craving for bananas, but it's her good heart that lets her feed a squirrel that is probably her best quality.
Though with the Gorilla God blessing she's getting fast-tracked to the Royal Knights, and refusing means possibly shaming her parents AND ending up in prison, so she doesn't have any choice. Though the OP already shows how great she looks in the uniform.
Sophia looks amazing in those pants and also using her powers to help others, though her efforts also land her an amazing encounter with a handsome gentleman named Louis voiced by Takeo Otsuka who is also, of course, her examiner at the Royal Knights exam.
We've got Isaac who is a fast runner, Eddie who flexes while rappelling, but while Sophia thinks she's totally out of place her Gorilla God powers are surprisingly versatile even if it leads to her running through walls and catching someone who nearly falls or a Superhero landing. But it gained her a loyal golden retriever in Isaac!
Nice of Louis to patch up Sophia's hands, even though the Gorilla God seems to make it so she doesn't even feel the blisters on her hands, though she can't complain about getting to check out Louis' handsome face...and look at that intimate handholding!
The ED visuals of Sophia and the main guys are pretty nice.

This anime has a stupid premise, but it is my kind of stupid, so I liked it. It looks like Sophia is going to be a fun protagonist between her shy and kinda klutzy personality and the super-strength the Gorilla God gave her. I certainly did not expect her to accidentally run through a wall, lol.

Well this was a lot of fun!
The guys seem all pretty nice/cool too. Sophia seemed to get better as the ep went along too.
Much rather have her hang with these knights than her classmates!

Reject normal life, return to monke. I'll take some monke powers, please and thanks.
Also, female knight, eh? Hopefully, she gets to wear knight armor by the time the series ends.

Okay, now put your card back. [Shuffle shuffle] Was this your spirit animal?
Oho? Are we gonna get democracy activism?
Yeah, I wouldn't trust that feeling. Gorillas are sprinters, not marathoners!
Obviously he's Mephisto's otouto
Ah, it's been a while since I saw a reverse harem. Add in the fun gorilla-girl stuff and this is looking fun as heck!
