A SURPRISINGLY SATISFYING tale!
In a world where people are judged by their skills, the MC fights against her fate, and searches for a new way of life.
The main strength of this series was the amount of LIKEABLE characters, especially the side characters. The plot was simple, yet had great pacing.
Overall, it is a pretty good encapsulated and complete tale. If it (somehow) got a second season, I wouldn't complain!

* Based on a fantasy isekai light novel series written by Honobonoru500 and illustrated by Nama.
Young Ivy can't catch a break. Though she has a few memories of her past life, she was reborn into an RPG-like world in the weakest class, and worse, as the weakest rank. As a no-star Tamer, even her parents want nothing to do with her, and she soon realizes she must survive on her own. She learns to live off the land and salvage what she can from other people's leavings. But when Ivy manages to tame Sora, a lowly slime, everything changes for both of them. There's something special about this frail little monster, and Ivy's care will bring out the best in both of them!

I would have rated a 7 but it's just a bit too easy going, sure her past is tragic and she faces real danger but all gets resolved pretty fast and easy.
And instead of depth we get a story turns into a big sting operation in the end, which is find if it's just a small part of a longer story...
And then there's the weird framing, sometimes it feels like an old 4:3 anime that got cropped to 16:9, so many times faces are just not within frame.
Otherwise it felt pretty good and kinda magical, although they explained very little about anything.
Looking forward to more though.

Not gonna lie the first episodes were pretty bad. The brute force the lore into you as fast possible but when that is over and the established the world it gets pretty enjoyable. If you are into fantasy and are willing to give the show four episodes, try it.

A very feel-good, beautiful anime with some rather dark undertones. A decent watch no doubt.

This was a fun watch as this follows the MC being on the run for having no abilities. Initially... maybe the first 2-3 episodes, this was a tough watch as this is slow, but once the adventures begin, this picks up a lot. The characters and adventures are all solid, but surprisingly the mystery solving adventures were engaging. I definitely wouldn't mind another season as this was a delightful isekai that starts off slow, but picks up tremendously as the series progressed.

MC reborn into medieval world but she does not clearly remember her previous life.
But she is star less while everyone else has one, so she has no capability to do any work. So when she is 5, her poor family who was loving till they knew that she was starless, suddenly throws her out of her house. She starts living in the forest around the poor village. But when she is 8, the village head decides to kill her, and then she starts her journey towards the capital of that country. Over the course of these 3 yrs, we see her slowly developing into a hardworking girl.
And once her journey starts, things start getting interesting, she meets good loving people (and animals) and start becoming useful to society. Now her memories from the modern age help her greatly while dealing with the adults and the bad of society.
There is lot of empathy, intelligence and care in both the story and screenplay. Not as great as frieren, but I enjoyed it a lot. Highly motivational.
8/10

Not expected such slow pacing/calm adventure and monologues (that imply on another personality inside MH).
Somewhat duting first few series remembered Yokohama Shopping Log. Quiet quest/adventure/roadtrip is quite rare - but good for calm relaxation.
