Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga SRank ni Natteta is a story about an old man named Belgrieve living in a place far away from the hustle and bustle of life in the capital. He lives in a rather rustic mediumsize home that can accommodate a family of 3 people. This series has been in the back burner for quite some time as I cannot recall why I did not finish the series on time. Likewise I have decided to finish it today to make a progress with my list. The series itself is a mix of slice of life comedy adventure action and even drama would you believe that? the overall general theme for this series is that when its calm times the mood is calm or even cheerful. When its bad times the mood can be either sullen or frantic. The fight scenes are good and serviceable though I must admit the CG monsters are a bit wonky but I dont really expect small studios making good monster designs with CG. The comedic parts of this series are pretty good as its not too funny but you know that its at least bound to entertain you while everything is calm. Likewise while this story has been quite good in front of my eyes. I still can say that there are still some things in this series that I sometimes do not like. But its quite few and far in between to dampen the experience I have for this series. My only complaint for this series is probably due to the number of misunderstandings this series has that is comedic in nature that is kind of losing its punch in the later iteration. Also Ange does act like a spoiled brat from time to time but I dont find her character that much annoying asides from one time during her fight. As you have expected the series has ended up in an open note as the series cannot accommodate all 11 volumes of the Light novels. But I do not expect a season 2 at all... especially for a series like this. Overall I give this series a 7 out of 10. It has its moments it has a balance of action comedy slice of life adventure and even drama. But it never loses sight of things despite the changes. Would I recommend someone to watch this? Probably not. its a bit too underwhelming for a series if you ask me and just like every Light novel adaptation the good part happens later down the series life. I would probably read the Light novels if I ever found a translated copy of such as I am intrigued by the mystery of people that have black hair. Its an interesting topic to dive into as well as the role of demon lords in this series. But alas if the series get a season 2 by some sort of a miracle I will gladly watch it as I like the company of every character of this series. This series might be unremarkable in a sense. But its a pretty good show altogether. Score: 70/100.
