Synopsis

While on an errand in the forest, retired E-rank adventurer Belgrieve stumbles upon a basket that holds an abandoned baby girl. Taking pity on her, Belgrieve decides to adopt the infant and names her Angeline.

Growing up, Angeline idolized her father, especially admiring his swordsmanship and wishing to become an adventurer just like Belgrieve once was. To fulfill this ambition, Angeline sets out to the royal capital. Over the years, she rises to S-rank, gaining the title of the Black-Haired Valkyrie. Despite surpassing her father, Angeline boasts about him and embellishes his exploits, generously calling him the Red Ogre.

At last, the time for Angeline to go back home has come, but she quickly realizes that various evil forces persist in preventing her from returning to her beloved father's side.

This anime/manga could be resumed in one line.

"Do the simple but well made."

S-Rank Musume have a very simples RPG enviroment, nothing special, only stoytelling with a good quality and patience world building, unfortunately the anime had a "ok" animation, with some good animations on fight scenes but being only carried by the story.

The main characters evolving in this 12 episodes was very well made, you can see from the first to the last how Belgrieve changed a lot because of his daughter.

I think that the greatest point of this story it's that don't follow others "Adoptive father" animes/mangas, I'm very happy to see another story ...

Mixed Feelings

My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer - Once again, the typically unnecessarily long LN titles have the premise...that even if they don't sound cool on paper, their execution is rather finicky.

In this Fall season, where there is no shortage of "found abandoned children" anime like Dekoboko Majo no Oyako Jijou a.k.a The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch, author Mojikakiya's only series, titled Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S-Rank ni Natteta (or S-Rank Musume for short), is the most apparent of sticking to its true guns of an adult stranger taking care of abandoned children, therefore making ... those adults their parental figures in their growing-up years. And even though the anime shows a portion of the already completed Syosetu WN and 11-volume LN that spans from February 2018 to November 2021, it's definitely a slice of that pie in both good and bad ways.

The protagonist, or rather, the formal parental figure, Belgrieve, is once known as one of the S-Rank adventurers, often called the Red Ogre due to his red hair and ogre-like stature that people would fear fighting him for. But when he gets into a scuffle where he loses his right leg in the process, Bel knows that his adventurous time has already passed its peak and has decided to retire to a small, secluded village where he'll spend his days in the countryside resting till his natural demise. But just when he thinks that his adventuring days are over, apart from gathering herbs and defeating beasts, he somehow finds an abandoned child, and out of his compassion, he brings her back to his hometown to be raised. Time passes, and the protagonist's successor, Angeline, has grown into a mature girl who has become the aforementioned top-tier S-Rank adventurer in her own right, nicknamed the Black-Haired Valkyrie. But her wish, as opposed to Belgrieve's fame and fortune, is that she will always want nothing more than to see her guardian father after every expedition. Talk about being a dad-con in the most childlike (or sometimes, childish) of ways.

I'm not gonna lie: when it comes to the parental aspect, I truly adore the father-daughter relationship of Belgrieve and Angeline, other than the latter's perspective of always being too attached to the former and always wanting his love more than anything. I'm not saying that it's wrong to love your parents (as we all ought to do), but Ange's attachment to Belgrieve can over time feel very forced. As much as it is being a loving family from the outset, her obsession can be seen as one of "needless" fervor for end objectives. A crazed daughter being a yandere of sorts for her father for no matter how long the duration they're separated? That's quite the "unique" fascination that this show has going for it.

Otherwise, S-Rank Musume is just your typical slice-of-life show of the usual fantasy adventures ranging from normal daily life to defeating evildoers. As Ange tags along with her best friends of mage Miriam and warrior Anessa, they are a party of exceptional and strong young women who have earned themselves in the same position as said S-Rank hero. With their names known far and wide, there will always be space for evil to do their usual acts, and for the most part, Ange can stop with ease given her high-ranked status; that's just the par for the course. The other characters are just like what you would find in typical normal MMORPGs, being most akin to NPCs, who act like side quests to grow Ange's relationship with as many people as possible, since this is such easy-going source material that the importance is only slain on Ange, always making sure that her final objective is to go back home and embrace her father. It's a rather simple plot, and it does work fine, but you're not going to get serious issues (apart from thwarting evil) that are life-threatening whatsoever, which does make the plot feel dry.

After the rather relative success of Kanojo ga Kōshaku-tei ni Itta Riyū a.k.a Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion earlier this Spring, the 3rd-rate studio Typhoon Graphics is back once again on the animation side of things, though the production is rather iffy, if not mediocre at best. I never once saw Typhoon Graphics as a studio that's capable of ever producing action-heavy shows (Raeliana was never one of them), and it really shows in S-Rank Musume that if this is the best that the rather small studio can muster, then future shows produced by them will always look mediocre at best. Despite having episode director Naoki Murata and storyboarder-cum-chief director Takeshi Mori, both of whom are anime veterans, they did their best, but no amount of effort is going to hide the fact that the anime will always look so drab and lifeless, almost as if there is little to no soul in it.

And then, there's the music. Since her departure from fripSide last year, Yoshino Nanjo has since been earning even less accreditation for her music composition, which would've made little to no difference had she stayed on in the lucrative group. Also, I'd expect as much from Nagi Yanagi's ED song being very much in her typical wheelhouse. Both OP and ED songs were average to decent.

If S-Rank Musume was a rather simple but wholesome show to just watch without any expectations, then I'd say that its pretty much mission accomplished. But if you're expecting the usual mix that is typically prevalent in fantasy stories such as this, then it's only going to disappoint you that there is no drive to its story and plot (which the show realistically doesn't need to have), then it's just a rather subpar effort. Ultimately, I leave this show hanging on both corners and come to the conclusion that if the familial story is what you're not after, then the show is just bare bones on many levels.

Love it or hate it, S-Rank Musume is simultaneously both a delight...and a chore to sit through.

Preliminary (4/13 eps)

The source of this anime is amazing, it deserved much more than this horrible adaptation

In this adaptation the pace is incredibly fast, in just 4 episodes it covered a lot of major story points, depriving them of any meanings and pathos, making them unnoticeable

The art could be passable if not for the complete disregard for proportions
Animations are powerpoint level

Music? I can't even recall the op or ed the soundtrack is meaningless

I just can't watch it anymore despite my love for the source, i even regret to have watched 4 eps
If you are interested from the synopsis or whatever else just do yourself a favor and ...
