  English Review:

  Hey everybody. My name is Blaze9 and welcome to my review of うちの娘の為ならば、俺はもしかしたら魔王も倒せるかもしれない。(Uchi no Ko no Tame Naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru Kamo Shirenai.) or “If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord”. Be advised that this review may contain minor spoilers.

  Ok, so in order to make things more practical, why don’t we ditch this gigantic name and refer to this anime from now on as “UchiMusume”? I hope you don’t have any problem with that. Now let’s begin.

  Overview:

  UchiMusume is a comedy/slice-of-life anime adaptation of a light novel of the same name released by CHIROLU and Truffle. This story is also being adapted into a manga (that I think has 5 volumes out already), and the original light novel finished not too long ago, with 9 volumes released. This anime was produced by Maho Film, presented in 12 TV standard episodes of 24 minutes, and released between July 4th, 2019 and Sep 19th, 2019.

  Now let’s talk a bit about the story and characters.

  Story:

  UchiMusume takes place in a fantasy world, where magic and great magical beasts exist. The story begins when our first protagonist, Dale Reki, an adventurer, during one of his quests, gets to know a little girl. He notices that this girl is not really human, but a half-demon, with broken horns. He talks to her and she tells him she was ordered to stay away from someone called Ragu, which Dale believes to be her father. Dale later finds out that Ragu was trying to protect her by making her avoid contact with the forest creatures that would appear attracted by his body. Touched by the girl’s situation, he decides to bury Rag and take the girl with him to the city. And then this girl, our second protagonist, presents herself to him as Latina.

  After getting home, Dale thinks a lot about what to do, but, being completely enchanted by the girl’s childish charm, he decides he will raise her.

  After these first events, the story focuses on the changes in Dale and Latina’s lifestyle, highlighting how she adapts to her new life, discover new interests, get to know new people, make friends and try to uncover the secrets of her past, and how Dale deals with the fact she’s getting older.

  Sadly, this is mostly a “promotional” anime, so the story is obviously incomplete. In order to know what happens next, we gotta read the novel, or at least wait until more volumes of the manga are released.

  Well, if you are reading this, then you might remember of another similar story, Usagi Drop. And some people may ask THAT thing: if the ending of the story is similar to Usagi Drop’s. Well, I don’t know because I didn’t read the light novel, I know that the manga is clean though. If you didn’t understand what I meant by that, do a little research about Usagi Drop manga ending, and you will get it.

  Now, I will give my notes for this anime, along with some extra commentary:

  Story: 10/10 – Considering just the story adapted for the anime, it’s awesome.

  Opening and Ending: 7/10 – I felt a bit weird about both, but the music is nice to hear, so let’s not give it that much attention, shall we?

  Soundtrack: 7/10 – Gives the dramatic scenes a nice background and emphasizes the comedic scenes.

  Artstyle: 10/10 – Best part of the show in my opinion.

  Animation: 7/10 – Could be better. The representations of the city and forests are all really nice, though.

  Voice Acting: 8/10 – Nothing to say here. Nobuhiko Okamoto and Kanon Takao did great jobs as the protagonists. Latina’s voice can get a little annoying, though.

  What I would change: nothing. I like it the way it is.

  Conclusion: This is a great story, I enjoyed it while it lasted, and I hope the manga keeps getting translated so vividly. I also hope that the light novel doesn’t go Usagi Drop as I heard some people saying.

  Thank you very much for reading.

  Review em Português:

  Olá. Eu sou o Blaze9 e bem-vindos ao meu review de うちの娘の為ならば、俺はもしかしたら魔王も倒せるかもしれない。(Uchi no Ko no Tame Naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru Kamo Shirenai.), “If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord” ou “Pela Minha Filha, Eu Derrotaria Até Um Rei Demônio”, em português. Este review pode conter alguns spoilers.
  Bom, pra começar e ser mais prático, vamos diminuir esse nome gigante. Irei me referir a este anime ao longo do review como “UchiMusume”. Espero que ninguém se incommode com isso. Então vamos começar.

  Visão Geral:

  UchiMusume é um anime de comédia/slice-of-life adaptado da light novel de mesmo nome, lançada por CHIROLU e Truffle. Esta história também está sendo adaptada para mangá, que eu acredito que já tem 5 volumes, e a light novel original encerrou há pouco tempo, com 9 volumes lançados. Este anime foi produzido pelo estúdio Maho Film, e apresentado em 12 episódios semanais de 24 minutos no formato padrão de TV, e lançado entre os dias 4 de julho de 2019 e 19 de setembro de 2019.
  Agora vamos falar um pouco sobre a história e os personagens.

  História:

  UchiMusume ocorre num mundo de fantasia, onde magia e grandes feras mágicas existem e de certa forma, convivem com humanos. A história começa quando nosso primeiro protagonista, Dale Reki, um aventureiro, durante uma de suas jornadas, conhece uma garotinha. Ele percebe que a menina não é realmente humana, e sim um meio-demônio com chifres quebrados. Ela diz a ele que foi ordenada a ficar longe de alguém chamado Rag, que Dale acredita que seja o paid a menina. Dale depois descobre que Rag estava tentando proteger a garota, evitando que ela entrasse em contato com criaturas da floresta, atraídos pelo corpo dele. Tocado pela situação, ele decide enterrar Rag e levar a menina com ele para a cidade. E então essa menina, nossa segunda protagonista, se apresenta a ele como Latina.

  Depois de chegar em casa, Dale pensa muito no que fazer, mas sendo totalmente encantado pelos charmes infantis da menina, ele decide criá-la como filha.
  Depois desses primeiros eventos, a história trabalha as mudanças na vida de Dale e Latina, focando em como ela se adaptará à sua nova vida, descobre novos interesses, conhece pessoas novas, faz amigos e tenta descobrir os segredos do seu passado, e em como Dale vai lidar com o fato de que Latina está ficando mais velha.

  Infelizmente, este é um anime “promocional”, então obviamente a história está incompleta. Pra saber o que acontece depois, não temos escolha a não ser ler a novel, ou pelo menos esperar até que o mangá tenha mais volumes lançados.

  Bom, se você está lendo isso, talvez você se lembre de uma história similar, Usagi Drop. E algumas pessoas vão fazer AQUELA pergunta: se o final da história é similar ao de Usagi Drop. Bem, eu não sei porque eu não li a novel, mas eu sei que o mangá está limpo. Caso não tenha entendido o que eu quis dizer com isso, pesquise sobre o que acontece no final do mangá de Usagi Drop e você vai entender.

  Agora darei minhas notas para este anime, assim como alguns comentários extras:

  História: 10/10 – Considerando somente a história adaptada para o anime, é incrível.

  Abertura e Encerramento: 7/10 – Me senti meio estranho sobre ambos, mas as músicas são muito boas, então não vamos dar muita atenção nesse ponto.

  Trilha Sonora: 7/10 – Dá às cenas dramáticas um excelente apoio e enfatiza as cenas cômicas.

  Estilo Artístico: 10/10 – Melhor parte do anime na minha opinião.

  Animação: 7/10 – Poderia ser melhor. Mesmo assim, as representações da cidade e da floresta são muito boas.

  Atuação de Voz: 8/10 – Nada a dizer aqui. Nobuhiko Okamoto e Kanon Takao fizeram um excelente trabalho interpretando os protagonistas. Apesar de que a voz da Latina pode ficar meio chatinha com o tempo.

  O que eu mudaria: nada. Gostei muito do jeito que é.

  Conclusão: É uma ótima história, e eu me diverti muito pelo tempo que durou. Espero que o mangá continue sendo traduzido para inglês e português. Também espero que a light novel não tenha ido pelo caminho do Usagi Drop como eu ouvi algumas pessoas falando.

  Muito obrigado por ter lido meu review.

  A flawed yet enjoyable anime, but DON'T LOOK UP THE LIGHT NOVEL SPOILERS.

  I’m going to start this review off with a warning; if you’re going to watch this anime, do NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT, read the light novel or look up spoilers for said light novel before or while you’re watching. If you do, it will probably ruin the experience. I found out about the anime I’m talking about before it started airing, and I was interested in watching it because of how cute and wholesome it seemed. However, the light novel spoilers got to me, but I still wanted to watch this anime, no matter what. With that, I made a deal with myself; if the anime doesn’t get that far or has an original ending, I will completely skip the light novels. Thus, I went ahead and watched it, and while the aforementioned light novel spoilers hindered my enjoyment, I’m kind of glad I did.

  Lads, ladies, and non-binaries, here is my review of “Uchi no Ko no Tame Naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai.”, known in English as “If It’s For My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat A Demon Lord”.

  Uchi no Ko (as it shall henceforth be called) follows Dale, a skilled adventurer who one day encounters a little devil girl while on a job in the forest. It’s clear that things have been rough for the girl named Latina; her father and companion has died and left her alone, she is dressed in rags, and she has a broken horn, which, for devils, is the mark of a criminal. Dale, being the kindhearted guy he is, is unable to just leave her to die, so he takes her home and ends up becoming her adoptive father. It’s not long before Dale falls in love with being Latina’s parent, and he goes through the trials and tribulations of raising a child as well as constant heartbreak when his job tears the two apart. Meanwhile, as Latina grows up, she learns about the world around her, as well as herself.

  Take Daikichi and Rin from “Usagi Drop”, age Daikichi down, and throw them into a fantasy setting; if you do that, you’d get Uchi no Ko in a nutshell. Just like that anime, it has a really simple slice-of-life story with little conflict. With that said, though, there is an arc in this series that I feel like goes on for too long. Sure, what is shown in this arc is most likely in the light novel (don’t quote me on that), and it captures the process of going to a faraway place accurately; still, I feel like the story arc could have wrapped up in an episode less than how long it went on for. Some of the content of this arc just felt like filler.

  As for the characters.... Latina. Okay, moving on! No, seriously, Latina’s the star of the show here. One may think she’s too perfect, but there’s no denying how adorable she is, both inside and out; she also grew as a character, no matter how small her growth was, and I enjoyed seeing that. I also enjoyed Dale’s character; even though he doesn’t really visibly grow as much as a character, he has gotten quite a good number of laughs out of me. As for the other characters.... well, there’s really not much I can say about them. There are quite a few supporting characters who interested me but didn’t get that much screen time, and there were others that I just did not know how to feel about. coughMayacough I swear, though, if the supporting characters get most of their development in the light novels that go beyond the anime, I’m going to get mad!

  Okay, so the characters aren’t this anime’s strong point, so what is? I’d say the voice acting and music. While the opening and ending themes, which are respectively “I’m with you” and “This is Yuusha, but Zannen?!” (which are each sung by Latina and Dale’s voice actors, Kanon Takao and Nobuhiko Okamoto), aren’t songs I’d replay over and over, they’re both catchy songs that fit the tone of the anime quite well. The voice acting was also pretty good, with a standout performance from Kanon Takao, the voice of Latina; she hasn’t had many roles yet, but with how adorable her voice is and how much it fit Latina, I’d say she has a bright future as a voice actress. I want to say that the animation studio behind this anime, Maho Film, has a bright future, as well; after all, as far as I can tell, this is their first project. Unfortunately, while the art is nice to look at, the animation is not always consistent; still, there’s always room for improvement!

  Overall, Uchi no Ko has a number of noticeable flaws, but it’s hard to say that it’s not enjoyable. If you’re in the mood for some father-daughter bonding in a fantasy setting, this may be the anime for you. Yes, it’s all just some very wholesome father-daughter bonding, and nothing more than that.... DON’T LOOK UP THE LIGHT NOVEL SPOILERS.
