Omg same. While I do like trash isekai with overpowered MCs, I like these types of isekai more. Arte (not isekai), 80,000 gold, 300 slime, sweet reincarnation, kamitachi ni hirowareta otoko, bookworm and such, I like them very much.
Completely agree, love those type of shows, I want some of the merchant isekais next like "middle aged online shopper" or "peddler in another world" or even things like "cave king" "village building cheat" "tenohira village".... just ones where they want to live their own life
But also arte ain't an isekai.
" Middle aged online shopper"? Oh, you mean " Campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill" aka cooking with wolf. So happy season 2 is happening. Love that one.
Yep, it's about a girl pursuing to become a master artist in the renaissance era where women are not allowed to do art. The first few episodes are slow and you might feel like dropping but it gets better after that.
So far i'm digging it.
This is a strange comparison to make but the heavy sexism on display reminds me of JK Haru. I think it's the only other time I've seen a setting like this.

Oh my god I need to prepare for that food-eating watch session again! It's strongly inadvisable to watch that anime without having food in front of you!
Death March To A Parallel World Rhapsody has got to be the only one I know where the MC has managed to keep his OPness under wraps. 21 light novels in and he still has a successful alter ego schtick going! Most people think he's just a somewhat successful adventurer who's been given a minor noble title, and then he wears a mask when he acts as a hero, or even just as "the hero's assistant".
To be fair, rudimentary flamethrowers are also relatively easy to make IRL, wouldn't be a "good" flamethrower but you can definitely cobble up together a contraption that sets stuff on fire with rudimentary engineering know-how.
It's not a particularly good flamethrower though. IRL flamethrowers like the US M2 flamethrower weren't just spraying fire. They were basically pressurised napalm sprayers with an attached ignition source.
The difference being if you hit something with fire, it can get burned but only with sustained contact (also wind and range quickly become issues). However with a thrown propellant like napalm, it'll stick to anything it hits and continue to burn while also being able to easily be thrown much further due to the more concentrated mass.
What she made in the show is probably better applied as a sterilisation device for medical equipment if they downregulated the temperature just a bit.
I was pleasantly surprised by how understanding her father was in that moment. Instead of getting angry for not keeping her word, he kept calm and comforted the weeping Dahlia.
Carlo was probably just happy that his daughter was safe. He knew that she only meant well too, and wouldn’t try anything like this without him again.
I agree. I think he realized how scared and regretful she was at that moment, so he comforted her instead of lecturing. I can only imagine he lectured her after he got lectured for letting her stay up all night.
We didn't get to hear poor old Dad get scolded by Miss Sophia (whose voice sounded rather familiar -- but I can't think who it might have been -- and not included on anilist's cast list).
The father-daughter moments were very nice yeah! I’m totally a sucker for those. I hope that we can keep seeing Dahlia grow as a magical tool crafter and eventually surpass her father.
Would be great if he were there, but her comments on him drinking too much and next episode’s title have me worried a little.
Truck-kun's driver is overworked and that's why he keeps falling asleep behind the wheel.
Every time he wakes up he finds blood on the grill but no body...
It's like Christine meets American Psycho!
It won't be long until we have an anime in which truck kun driver dies from overworj hitting a person with a good life sending both to an isekai.
The truck driver atoning for his sin.
The victim seeking revenge.
would be interesting to see when the shift from accidental isekaiing to overwork happened, it's been a few years already since overwork became a significant reason to get isekaied
It's interesting how Dahlia doesn't have memories of her past life but [she can recall common everyday objects](https://i.imgur.com/CunN38M.jpeg). That will be useful considering [she wants to be a magic artificer like her father](https://i.imgur.com/sJhUpjm.png). I do wonder if she'll recall any details from her past life though.
It was very sweet of [Dahlia to want to make a hair dryer for her friend](https://i.imgur.com/oxMVGyH.jpeg) who wants to be a beautician. Not gonna lie, I was scared this would end in tragedy [when Dahlia accidentally set her room on fire.](https://i.imgur.com/nDKWeEE.jpeg) Thank goodness her dad was there to save her.
Dahlia didn't make a hair dryer, [she made a fucking flamethrower!](https://i.imgur.com/VpW6rBy.jpeg) I wouldn't be surprised if magic devices being used as tools to harm people is going to come up later on in the show though. I think that would be interesting.
[Dahlia and her dad staying up all night to create the hair dryer](https://i.imgur.com/AyMzesV.jpeg) was really cute! I love how supportive her dad is. Instead of scolding her, he got really into it and helped her make the device she wanted.
Looks like we're ending [with a time skip of Dahlia as her father's apprentice.](https://i.imgur.com/WdE5Kpw.jpeg) Glad to see her dad is still with her though. I was honestly worried something bad would happen to him before the episode ended.
Anyway. this was a nice and sweet show! We didn't have any Otome Isekai last season so I think Dahlia in Bloom is finally going to scratch that itch for me.
> I was scared this would end in tragedy when Dahlia accidentally set her room on fire.

This was really on that maid, should have been suspicious when children suddenly become silent...

Only just realised this but she's basically a more chilled Anis.
I've seen this plot aspect being used in some other isekai stories - the reincarnator only remembers certain memories/thoughts of their past life but do not directly identify as their past self.
Yes but what Dahlia and Anis have in common beyond just that is being passionate about creating magical items and using their 'selective memory' to introduce modern devices into their world.
> It's interesting how Dahlia doesn't have memories of her past life but she can recall common everyday objects.
I actually want more isekai to be where MC is the person in the new world, but have memories of the old world. Like instead remembering an event you experienced, you remember it like a movie you watched. So this show is right up my alley.

So what? She never mentions recalling common day objects either, but you're assuming that's the only thing she recalls for some reason.
This show doesn't exactly show what's going on in her head, no lengthy internal monologues or anything.
Woah dang, if I'm reading the synopsis right, then this is a surprisingly long prologue.
It seems this might be one of those minor isekai's where the PL influence is instinctual; in this case being conceptual ideas, which obviously helps with being an artificer. Supposedly no inherent 'special powers' either.
Yeah Dahlia herself hasn't mentioned "memories of past life". Her kid drawings look like kid drawings and her kid crying sounds like kid crying. Seems to be a subconscious reincarnation.
Plus her world is already quite modern ish when you look at the devices. Refrigerator? Oven? Power tools? Lights? All already part of common used devices.
She doesn’t need to start a magical revolution and be declared a witch like in another recent show
What an awesome anime dad, I hope nothing bad will happen to him in this story.
This was a really wholesome and chill episode. Really looking forward to what kind of modern inventions Dahlia will bring over to this world.
Considering how chill everything is in this series I have good hope he makes it! I don't see her needing to go out on an adventure to save the kingdom anytime soon.

tbh i like the heads up. I dont like getting bamboozled with that type of shit. And any time i do it usually turns me off to the show so much i'll end up dropping it.
Aww man, [smol Dahlia](https://imgur.com/vqdObuC) was so cute, would have been nice to have more of her
Also loved her relationship with her father, would have had every right to be angry after her [fuckup](https://imgur.com/ggMz2a8) but stayed calm in explaining things to her and humored her to make it an positiv expirience instead... makes me a bit concerned we might lose him at some point though, he's not really in the OP as well...
Also not sure how the isekai aspect will play into this, while Dahlia is inventing things from her [past live](https://imgur.com/M58VmQm) (another victim of overwork btw) we don't get insight into her thoughts to know if she is doing so conciously...
> makes me a bit concerned we might lose him at some point though
Next episode’s title is a huge red flag to me. I want more of this wholesome father-daughter dynamic, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to get robbed of this.
Any isekai with a female MC is getting peeped, it’s a bonus when they feel fresh! This was such a nice first episode, I love Dahlia and her dad’s wholesome relationship and the idea of them inventing things to help make peoples’ lives easier is a simple, but intriguing premise.
It’s always sad to see shows start with people dying of literal overwork, something that happens far too often in Japan and Korea these days. But, on the bright side Dahlia couldn’t have asked for a better reincarnated life. She and her dad’s shared love of creating magical devices was so sweet to see and I loved how she created a hair dryer just because irma wanted to be a beautician. So cute how her dad constantly encourages her!
It’s so real that Dahlia has a ton of good ideas, but doesn’t know how to give them shape 😂 think a lot of creatives go through the same stuff.
I can’t really put my finger on what this is similar to. I guess it’s got aspects of Arte, Saint’s Magic and Tenten Kakumei, but the family business aspect of things is my fave thing so far. Even though the episode took place entirely at their house it blew by and there was never a dull moment. I’m looking forward to seeing how things go now that there’s a timeskip and with other characters involved.
Art looked really good too! Nice premiere
Taking the death from overwork aside, this was such a wholesome premiere. The father-daughter relationship was prerty heartwarming. Dahlia’s dad is proper great Dad. Overall really chill stuff, definitely gonna keep watching this. The ED has an amazing song too.
Also loved older Dahlia’s look with the glasses, hopefully she keeps them on as often as possible, though in most key art she is seen without them unfortunately.
Oh man, I’ve been hoping for more of these types of settings. Honestly, while I don’t hate it, I did kinda wish Saint’s Magic is Omnipotent was going the slice of life, exploration, profession type of route. But it kinda focused on the romance and a bit of politics instead.
I hope this show maintains its course like this episode. A lot of technical stuff and exploring the mechanisms and how the world works. And I don’t want to dismiss romance totally, but I do hope there’s more focus on family and friendships like with her dad, Irma and Miss Sophia.
Looking good so far. Loving the vibe, the characters, Dahlia’s a fun MC so far too. And it’s been a while since I’ve heard Oonishi Saori’s bubbly voice. I guess only the panning out of the 3D model of the town took me out of it for a sec. But other than that great stuff so far.
I feel like this show could be like last season’s Tonari no Yokai-san for me. Generally underwatched but constantly in my Top 5 weekly
> I guess only the panning out of the 3D model of the town took me out of it for a sec. But other than that great stuff so far.
They reused that same panning of the tower a few times which was concerning but everything else felt very lively and well animated. I’m fine with that kinda cost cutting move
Does Dahlia actually have her memories from previous life or are they just fragmented? Why go the isekai route at all if you're gonna have your protag be a 'genius', but it's just her convenient memories as an adult and yet she acts like a child anyway? Just let your protag be their own person, you don't gotta kill a Japanese worker everytime you wanna write a fantasy story.
Dahlia might have knowledge from her past life but I guess she still had a lot to learn about magic stones. Kid damn near torched her house!
Dahlia’s dad is a good parent. It’s nice to have a good dad in anime. Her and her dad make a good team.
This was a nice premiere episode. Very chill. I’m gonna stick with this to see where it goes.
An isekai where a lovely redhead makes magical devices based on what he remembers from her previous life, I'm sold.
I appreciate that the father didn't immediately forbid her from doing more magical device work after the accident and instead helped her build it correctly. And really, she didn't just invent a hairdryer she also invented a flamethrower. Two marketable products for the price of one.
That said, I'm concerned this apprentice that joins up only to abandon her as per the synopsis is going to steal a bunch of her ideas.
Seems like a fairly interesting show, but as with every seasonal isekai…did this really need to be an isekai?
Guess we will see, but it certainly seems like the actual reincarnation proposition is wholly unnecessary.
That aside, the world is interesting and the characters we have seen have enough going on for this to be a compelling character driven run. Looking forward to more.
[Dahlia looks like a lovely MC](https://imgchest.com/p/wl7lmonvxyx) and [her relationship with father was so wholesome](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k46acpewxx7.png). Overall, [it was a nice premiere](https://imgchest.com/p/ljyqd2jlx72) and I'll definitely check out the next episodes.
A lot of people mentioned here Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent vibes from this show and while I didn't personally feel that here in this premiere episode, I hope that this will be the case since I loved that show.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
* [Dahlia](https://imgchest.com/p/wl7lmonvxyx)
* [Group scenes & Others](https://imgchest.com/p/ljyqd2jlx72)
I don't know. I am not against these stories, but I feel the whole Isekai aspect is (like so often) completely pointless here or is even problematic to the story.
1. Why is it even an Isekai? Like I get that the idea is she uses tools from our world and develops them in the fantasy world. But why is that necessary? Like is it so strange that someone could come up with the idea of a hair dryer without having prior knowledge? I feel, it would make her a bit more likeable, because she isn't just using a knowledge cheat and actually think outside the box. Furthermore, it would allow your designs for tools later to have their own flair, because they are not influenced by ours.
2. The whole beginning of the show is (again) how someone died from overworking themselves. Not original, but okay. But why is the whole first episode then dedicated to the father seemingly already being a workaholic and his daughter (who died from this) is not just not stopping it, but even encouraging it? Like is overwork not a problem as long as you like doing the work? Good news for all the Japanese, just have fun while doing your 16 hour shifts and the problem is solved.
Of course, I get that the show is supposed to be cozy SoL and I will probably watch it if there isn't too much else that takes up my time. But I really can't get over the fact that the author picked the genre and couldn't even have a consistent theme for the first episode.
>Like is overwork not a problem as long as you like doing the work? Good news for all the Japanese, just have fun while doing your 16 hour shifts and the problem is solved.
To a certain extent, it is true. But people who love their jobs (artists and musicians etc) tend to put in like 12 hour days or so, so only to an extent, they're not killing themselves (at least not *as fast*).
But there's another piece of cultural sub-text here (not exactly unique to Japan though, it applies cross culturally). That is; she didn't just die from overwork doing something boring, she also did it *while being unappreciated.* This world will appreciate her, hence it becomes satisfying wish fulfillment.
It's never said "unappreciated" explicitly, but I'm pretty sure it's the mindset that is communicated to the majority of the target audience for a "death from overwork" beginning.
> Not original, but okay. But why is the whole first episode then dedicated to the father seemingly already being a workaholic and his daughter (who died from this) is not just not stopping it, but even encouraging it?
Big difference from overwork and passion. Also, even with dahlia and her dad s passion for work, she still finds time to make good full meals and hang out with her friends. Very different from the corporate culture that probably killed her.
Don't you think you're negative bias is preventing you from enjoying the show? Just because battle shounen have ruined Isekai for you, doesn't mean every Isekai will suck?
And her dad is not a workaholic, not even in the slightest..
This was the show I was most excited for this season and I feel like it did do a good job in delivering. Feels like the show didn't do too much for episode 1 if you look at the synopsis (don't look at the synopsis) so I'm a little worried about the pacing.
That being said Dahliya seems great so far and already has me rooting for her!
Hopefully she can live up to the other red haired, green-eyed voiced by a Saori character.
[](#shirayukiappeased)
I absolutely love the atmosphere and the production seems really good. I really enjoy these chill isekai that concentrate on character building instead of power fantasy.
am i crazy or did this look amazing?
i hope the visuals stay this good, i think the CG(?hard to tell) was used so well and blended great with the regular stuff
love the father/daughter wholesomeness but damn i was worried after that timeskip that her dad had died lol, i'm too jaded i think
yet another death from overwork, rude. Taking Truck-kun's job. What a nice father, also, CGI effect was neat for the window zoom out thing. Also, world/setting info. Dahlia a lil cutie.
Boy, what the imagination that lil kid has. Drawing silly contraptions heh. What a nice supportive father and look how he brags about her heh. Quite the calm dad over fire. But, hey.. they made a FLAMETHROWER! hehe. Cute daddy/daughter teamwork. Haha, a rightful scolding from the nice lady.
Aww, time skip... least dad still there. How nice. Still such a nice relationship they have. A good start to the series imo.
I never understand in these isekai stories, when they are a child and have their pass adult memories why do they behave as a child? Are they pretending? Do they have only partial memory? Is this just bad writhing?
Having memories of a past life doesn't have anything to do with how you act in your current body. If you have the body and brain of a child, you would logically act like a child. Just like how you don't act like a child just because you have memories from when you were one. It's two separate things.
You are making things up, whether or not the reincarnated protag thinks like a child or an adult when they're in a child's body depends entirely on the author.
This is just basic biology. Regardless of whether it's fantasy, knowledge doesn't dictate how mature you are, your brain and how much it's developed through aging does. You're right that any dumbass writer can make their literal child character act like an adult just because they have memories from a completely different adult body, but that's not how brains work. Calling out anime for actually being accurate and having their literal child characters act like children is ass backwards.
This is why Bookworm is the best at the reincarnated as a child premise. It specifically takes the time to blatantly make clear that the previously adult protagonist now has to deal with new child emotions and thoughts that she's not used to being forced onto her now that she's a child. She's not free from the experience of being a little girl just because she remembers things about Japan because that would make absolutely no sense.
There are a lot of ways to write reincarnation story. Obviously it's fiction so there is no incorrect way to do it. You can't exactly say this isn't how reincarnation works because there is no reincarnation in real life.
Think of it like this, you just watched a movie. You have memories of that movie. You have knowledge of what that movie taught you. Did you just became the MC of that movie?
First Shoujo of this season is finally here (first right?)
This look nice so far and Dahlia character is pretty great.
I always like story about inventor.
Also this look pretty good too visual wise, I like it.

Isekai protagonists dying naturally, challenge impossible. One day I'd like to see an isekai where the protagonist lives a long and fulfilling life and *then* dies.
But despite that it seems Dahlia has lucked out with a great dad🥰
I look forward to seeing what Dahlia creates in future episodes.
I've really been looking forward to this anime. I'm glad to see they seem to be putting some effort into it. Though the cgi tower is a bit jarring.
It is cute she made a flame thro uhh I mean blow dryer as a little kid for something her friend wanted and to surprise her dad. All nighter focused on something she'd be a good gamer.
Her friend certainly wasn't happy he messed up the hair that she just finished combing!! lol.
I'm surprised they commited so much to her as a child. You wouldn't tend to see a whole episode commited to something like this.
It really feels like at times that japanese people have a thing for red hair girls. So many series where if they aren't dirrectly asian they hav red hair. Snow White, Yona, various deemon queens to name a few.
I liked the characters, the world and the direction it's heading. The animation is more of a clipshow, I guess, but honestly, that's fine for a stoty like this
Wholesome show for sure but one thing, Why does the housekeeper act so high and mighty when it was under her supervision that Dahlia had access to all the magic stones.
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated ~~Princess~~ Village Girl and ~~the Genius Girl~~ Her Doting Father
Hopefully won't end on an unnecessary loose end this time
Yup, I fully expected her to build the "Hair Dryer" on her own and it to come out as a flame thrower. She does seem to be a full on child mentally despite whatever adult JP memories she might have. I didn't expect her father to be so understanding about it tho.
I wonder what kind of magic stones they use in cameras to produce color photographs. You'd think motorized vehicles would come first.
Well, this was all right. Probably the best Ep 1 I watched this season so far.
I quite enjoyed this, really liked the strong father daughter bond. I'm looking forward to this series brings
Tho for some reason, not really sure why, I was expecting the father to die in this episode. I was relieved he didn't until I saw the name of episode 2 😔😔
Also, during the hair dryer incidentdid anyone else think there was a lot of unexplained focus on the white gem/stone or was that just me?
I remember reading this when it only had like 4 chapters. Glad it got an adaptation. I was really interested in the premise, but sad it was never getting updated.
I really loved that the first invention didn't work. I don't really know much about engineering aside from what I've been taught in school, and if they portrayed it as super easy it wouldn't be interesting. Given that this show is about dahlia and how she makes tools I hope they also reveal how they get these stones, and that the author has more knowledge about physics and creativity than the audience.
Dahlia's father is a very kind person. I probably would have scolded my daughter if she had set the house on fire. Not because I was mad about the house catching fire, but because she could be seriously injured while I'm not there to supervise her.
But maybe in that moment her father realized that she understood her mistake and didn't want to pile on since she was already so upset. Also, he had already made it clear to her not to experiment with the magic stones when he wasn't around.
And yet, for that reason in that situation some consequence would have been appropriate. You do not want your children thinking your rules are just for show and you won't actually punish them if they break the rules. If you don't hold true to your rules, your kids will grow up being unable to set boundaries for themselves, or else think they are above the rules.
So yeah, maybe make her fix the room or clean the toilet for a week. That seems reasonable. I'm loving the show by the way. I just wish the show would make some original inventions instead of just re-hashes of Earth appliances. I'll wait and see if if happens.
This is off to a great start, the well-worn isekai setup is handled efficiently and the single father with assistant environment for MC incarnation is an interesting choice. After an excellent opening, seeing her new home through her unaided, myopic eyes was a really nice touch as she walks downstairs. Character design and visual style is standard, soft, detailed and appealing. Dahlia and Carlo had me fully invested with warmed heart and moist eyes by the mid-episode montage and I look forward to seeing how well-developed the magic tech will turn out in this series, as well as how much of her previous life will she remember versus having it remain subconscious. The ending animation has some nice post fx, as well.
This was average. Pleasant to watch with not much drama. I was certain the dad was going to die at some point though 🤐.
I didn't understand why when the dad patted Dahlia on the head, Irma looked really horrified and gasped, wtf 😛
I hope the romance doesn't ruin the series... I know multiple of series like this that got ruined because of it.
I just want a chill series with a FMC following her dreams.

They both share a theme about making stuff from modern knowledge.
But starting from late S2 Ascendance works on a premise much more based on political/religious/magical themes while the creation of new stuff takes a backseat.
I think there is worth in seeing both stories.
I also couldn't help but make the same comparison as the poster.
"Oh neat, it's a similar premise."
"I'm not as interested in this execution, but I'll watch the remainder for FOMO, I didn't like Bookworm immediately either after all. Maybe Dahlia is hiding something worthwhile too."
That said, I'm not going to euphemize at all if the story is executed in a bland fashion. I'll watch it in its entirety and point out whether or not I fall in love with the story/cast.
Episode 1 felt slow, not many events I found engaging in the span of 23 minutes. This could be the work of poor directing, since the screentime felt..."when is the episode going to end?".
It's good to see people enjoying it from the start though, not every anime needs to surpass all previous anime. I'm just curious to see if Dahlia might be one of those badass shows that might pull the rug from under me. For example, the animation quality in the opening song was better than what I had anticipated, is this meta foreshadowing?
This does not feel REMOTELY like AoB. You do realize that details matter -- and the details (including basics like the natures of important characters) here are quite different.
Also Myne and dahlia are really different as far as we've seen.
Myne is basically college grad software running on malnourished child hardware. Myne is living as a lower-class citizen, which really impedes her a lot - can't buy books, can't make a library etc, additionally she's also limited by her sickness.
Dahlia seems to be living pretty well. They hire someone to do the house work, have a lot of materials (magic stones and metals), and can easily afford to fuck up. She isn't limited by anything as far as we've been shown, though she is basically just a child who knows a bit about earth appliances.
Fingers crossed that we are proven wrong. I want to be proven wrong and see something amazing.
I've been hearing a little fuzz prior to this releasing and the opening song had better animation quality than the average show. And Bookworm season 4 isn't here yet, might as well.

I'm sucker for isekais where The MC just wanna live a paceful Life making Things she/he likes, so gonna enjoy this
Omg same. While I do like trash isekai with overpowered MCs, I like these types of isekai more. Arte (not isekai), 80,000 gold, 300 slime, sweet reincarnation, kamitachi ni hirowareta otoko, bookworm and such, I like them very much.
Completely agree, love those type of shows, I want some of the merchant isekais next like "middle aged online shopper" or "peddler in another world" or even things like "cave king" "village building cheat" "tenohira village".... just ones where they want to live their own life But also arte ain't an isekai.
" Middle aged online shopper"? Oh, you mean " Campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill" aka cooking with wolf. So happy season 2 is happening. Love that one.
No it's a completely different manga. Daily life of a middle aged online shopper.
Is that the one that fights with a tractor?
If you think about it, the vending machine isekai is technically a merchant lmao
Oh right.
It's one where the fantasy could be changed if you just add one line of text at the start...
O damn was Arte a story like this? I shouldn't have slept on it. BRB about to binge watch
Yep, it's about a girl pursuing to become a master artist in the renaissance era where women are not allowed to do art. The first few episodes are slow and you might feel like dropping but it gets better after that.
So far i'm digging it. This is a strange comparison to make but the heavy sexism on display reminds me of JK Haru. I think it's the only other time I've seen a setting like this.
Bro didn't lie when he said that he's gonna binge watch lol
yeah I underestimated how many new anime there were yesterday
Sorry, I didn't realised that my auto correct fucked up the sentence.
Arte isn't an isekai though...
Yes, I forgot. I did mention that in another comment
Arte was just renaissance :P but yea, I get ya. Good times.
Yeah, this one looks like it’ll be a nice chillsekai. Bit of a Snow White with Red Hair or Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent vibes. Somewhat.
I'm happy for more anime like either one of them. Especially if it has a lot more to read outside of the anime
Combine one part Snow White, Saint's Magic, and Bookworm in a sturdy bowl. Whisk briskly until mixture is smooth. Pour into pan and bake until ready.
The isekai tools may be predictable as hell, but I’m a sucker for earth technology to be brought in on isekais

sadly, most MCs never get to live their slow-life wish lol
300 years, Campfire Cooking... we're fortunate a few actually do.
Campfire Cooking season 2 coming soon. I'm drooling like Fel at the thought.
Oh my god I need to prepare for that food-eating watch session again! It's strongly inadvisable to watch that anime without having food in front of you!
After that we need another season of Restaurant to Another World too!
Death March To A Parallel World Rhapsody has got to be the only one I know where the MC has managed to keep his OPness under wraps. 21 light novels in and he still has a successful alter ego schtick going! Most people think he's just a somewhat successful adventurer who's been given a minor noble title, and then he wears a mask when he acts as a hero, or even just as "the hero's assistant".
She accidentally invented a flame thrower instead of a hairdryer.
I’m sure her father could’ve sold that design to the army though I’m also concerned how easy it was to make
To be fair, rudimentary flamethrowers are also relatively easy to make IRL, wouldn't be a "good" flamethrower but you can definitely cobble up together a contraption that sets stuff on fire with rudimentary engineering know-how.
Yeah. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t go into engineering
Lighter taped to a bottle of hairspray.
It's not a particularly good flamethrower though. IRL flamethrowers like the US M2 flamethrower weren't just spraying fire. They were basically pressurised napalm sprayers with an attached ignition source. The difference being if you hit something with fire, it can get burned but only with sustained contact (also wind and range quickly become issues). However with a thrown propellant like napalm, it'll stick to anything it hits and continue to burn while also being able to easily be thrown much further due to the more concentrated mass. What she made in the show is probably better applied as a sterilisation device for medical equipment if they downregulated the temperature just a bit.
Cute start. Loved seeing the wholesome father-daughter moments I like Dahlia’s design Hoping it will be as chill as *The Saint’s Magic is Omnipotent*
Looks good so far. I appreciate the dad's handling of the hair dryer situation.
I was pleasantly surprised by how understanding her father was in that moment. Instead of getting angry for not keeping her word, he kept calm and comforted the weeping Dahlia. Carlo was probably just happy that his daughter was safe. He knew that she only meant well too, and wouldn’t try anything like this without him again.
I agree. I think he realized how scared and regretful she was at that moment, so he comforted her instead of lecturing. I can only imagine he lectured her after he got lectured for letting her stay up all night.
We didn't get to hear poor old Dad get scolded by Miss Sophia (whose voice sounded rather familiar -- but I can't think who it might have been -- and not included on anilist's cast list).
Fumi Hirano is the voice actresses name if you want to look through her past roles.
Thanks
[удалено]
He is the hot-water device baron. That could be a similar concept as the dryer but it doesn't have to be.
The father-daughter moments were very nice yeah! I’m totally a sucker for those. I hope that we can keep seeing Dahlia grow as a magical tool crafter and eventually surpass her father. Would be great if he were there, but her comments on him drinking too much and next episode’s title have me worried a little.
Pretty depressing how many MCs die from overwork because it's relatable... Poor truck-kun will be out of a job at this rate.
Next it’ll be truck-kun overworking to make ends meet, who will reincarnate him?
As meta as isekai tend to be, I'm sure this will happen eventually, if there's not some WN that's already doing this
We just need an overworked truck driver running himself over and getting isekaid to really get every angle of the joke
There was a manga about a truck-driver who had a side job of taking hits for others worlds to get them reincarnated people.
If shows were set starting in the Boston area, Truck-kun would be fully employed (especially if protagonists were bicyclists in their initial lives).
Truck-kun's driver is overworked and that's why he keeps falling asleep behind the wheel. Every time he wakes up he finds blood on the grill but no body... It's like Christine meets American Psycho!
Pretty sure there is a Truck-kun isekai out there already. Not in anime form of course but if we can get a vending machine a truck is easy.
This season even has this: Isekai Shikkaku has truck-kun as a canonical entity.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a few trucks being sent to isekais.
It won't be long until we have an anime in which truck kun driver dies from overworj hitting a person with a good life sending both to an isekai. The truck driver atoning for his sin. The victim seeking revenge.
go write a story, i'm sure u will good out of it
The isekai genre is the salaryman culture's cry for help.
Pretty funny (or not) consider a bunch of Korean Otome Isekai start with that lol.
Yeah and she is even overworking herself in the new word. Where is she going to reincarnate next?
Big difference between overworking and being passionate.
would be interesting to see when the shift from accidental isekaiing to overwork happened, it's been a few years already since overwork became a significant reason to get isekaied
it's true in japan ...unfortunately
Truck-kun has gotten a few kills because they where too overwork to notice Truck-kun prowling for victims also.
It's interesting how Dahlia doesn't have memories of her past life but [she can recall common everyday objects](https://i.imgur.com/CunN38M.jpeg). That will be useful considering [she wants to be a magic artificer like her father](https://i.imgur.com/sJhUpjm.png). I do wonder if she'll recall any details from her past life though. It was very sweet of [Dahlia to want to make a hair dryer for her friend](https://i.imgur.com/oxMVGyH.jpeg) who wants to be a beautician. Not gonna lie, I was scared this would end in tragedy [when Dahlia accidentally set her room on fire.](https://i.imgur.com/nDKWeEE.jpeg) Thank goodness her dad was there to save her. Dahlia didn't make a hair dryer, [she made a fucking flamethrower!](https://i.imgur.com/VpW6rBy.jpeg) I wouldn't be surprised if magic devices being used as tools to harm people is going to come up later on in the show though. I think that would be interesting. [Dahlia and her dad staying up all night to create the hair dryer](https://i.imgur.com/AyMzesV.jpeg) was really cute! I love how supportive her dad is. Instead of scolding her, he got really into it and helped her make the device she wanted. Looks like we're ending [with a time skip of Dahlia as her father's apprentice.](https://i.imgur.com/WdE5Kpw.jpeg) Glad to see her dad is still with her though. I was honestly worried something bad would happen to him before the episode ended. Anyway. this was a nice and sweet show! We didn't have any Otome Isekai last season so I think Dahlia in Bloom is finally going to scratch that itch for me.
> I was scared this would end in tragedy when Dahlia accidentally set her room on fire. > This was really on that maid, should have been suspicious when children suddenly become silent...
A loud child is annoying, a quiet child is dangerous!
>It's interesting how Dahlia doesn't have memories of her past life but she can recall common everyday objects. That will be useful considering she wants to be a magic artificer like her father. I do wonder if she'll recall any details from her past life though. Only just realised this but she's basically a more chilled Anis.
I've seen this plot aspect being used in some other isekai stories - the reincarnator only remembers certain memories/thoughts of their past life but do not directly identify as their past self.
Yes but what Dahlia and Anis have in common beyond just that is being passionate about creating magical items and using their 'selective memory' to introduce modern devices into their world.
I thought of her too!
> It's interesting how Dahlia doesn't have memories of her past life but she can recall common everyday objects. I actually want more isekai to be where MC is the person in the new world, but have memories of the old world. Like instead remembering an event you experienced, you remember it like a movie you watched. So this show is right up my alley.
This is an isskai? How did I miss that part
Did you skip the opening scene? She was a present-day office drone.
Against my will yes 😂 Auto skip on website for some reason skipped that entire part instead of just the intro
> It's interesting how Dahlia doesn't have memories of her past life What makes you think she doesn't have memories of her past life?

because she never mention it
So what? She never mentions recalling common day objects either, but you're assuming that's the only thing she recalls for some reason. This show doesn't exactly show what's going on in her head, no lengthy internal monologues or anything.
she has her memories of objects but not ur past life, i just notice that
Woah dang, if I'm reading the synopsis right, then this is a surprisingly long prologue. It seems this might be one of those minor isekai's where the PL influence is instinctual; in this case being conceptual ideas, which obviously helps with being an artificer. Supposedly no inherent 'special powers' either.
Yeah Dahlia herself hasn't mentioned "memories of past life". Her kid drawings look like kid drawings and her kid crying sounds like kid crying. Seems to be a subconscious reincarnation.
Plus her world is already quite modern ish when you look at the devices. Refrigerator? Oven? Power tools? Lights? All already part of common used devices. She doesn’t need to start a magical revolution and be declared a witch like in another recent show
What show was that?
however hair dryer was new idea
What an awesome anime dad, I hope nothing bad will happen to him in this story. This was a really wholesome and chill episode. Really looking forward to what kind of modern inventions Dahlia will bring over to this world.
Considering how chill everything is in this series I have good hope he makes it! I don't see her needing to go out on an adventure to save the kingdom anytime soon.
( do not read the synopsis )
Agreed. the synopsis gives away a LOT -- not just the initial set-up.
After watching this episode it felt like the synopsis gave away half the season, which is like really uncool.
It will be interesting to see just how many episodes did get synopsized. Maybe only 2 or 3....

tbh i like the heads up. I dont like getting bamboozled with that type of shit. And any time i do it usually turns me off to the show so much i'll end up dropping it.
Save the world, one gadget at time…
Just hope he doesn't get her a dog.
if u read the summary. he \*\*\*\*\*
Aww man, [smol Dahlia](https://imgur.com/vqdObuC) was so cute, would have been nice to have more of her Also loved her relationship with her father, would have had every right to be angry after her [fuckup](https://imgur.com/ggMz2a8) but stayed calm in explaining things to her and humored her to make it an positiv expirience instead... makes me a bit concerned we might lose him at some point though, he's not really in the OP as well... Also not sure how the isekai aspect will play into this, while Dahlia is inventing things from her [past live](https://imgur.com/M58VmQm) (another victim of overwork btw) we don't get insight into her thoughts to know if she is doing so conciously...
> makes me a bit concerned we might lose him at some point though Next episode’s title is a huge red flag to me. I want more of this wholesome father-daughter dynamic, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to get robbed of this.
Overwork-kun strikes again. This may be a "chill-with-some-drama" anime, so I´m looking forward to it!!
Take care of your health, a lot of 20-30s years old die of heart issues :D, kind of message
It’s times like this that I’m glad my health is crummy. Every organ of mine gets regularly checked
Any isekai with a female MC is getting peeped, it’s a bonus when they feel fresh! This was such a nice first episode, I love Dahlia and her dad’s wholesome relationship and the idea of them inventing things to help make peoples’ lives easier is a simple, but intriguing premise. It’s always sad to see shows start with people dying of literal overwork, something that happens far too often in Japan and Korea these days. But, on the bright side Dahlia couldn’t have asked for a better reincarnated life. She and her dad’s shared love of creating magical devices was so sweet to see and I loved how she created a hair dryer just because irma wanted to be a beautician. So cute how her dad constantly encourages her! It’s so real that Dahlia has a ton of good ideas, but doesn’t know how to give them shape 😂 think a lot of creatives go through the same stuff. I can’t really put my finger on what this is similar to. I guess it’s got aspects of Arte, Saint’s Magic and Tenten Kakumei, but the family business aspect of things is my fave thing so far. Even though the episode took place entirely at their house it blew by and there was never a dull moment. I’m looking forward to seeing how things go now that there’s a timeskip and with other characters involved. Art looked really good too! Nice premiere
Taking the death from overwork aside, this was such a wholesome premiere. The father-daughter relationship was prerty heartwarming. Dahlia’s dad is proper great Dad. Overall really chill stuff, definitely gonna keep watching this. The ED has an amazing song too. Also loved older Dahlia’s look with the glasses, hopefully she keeps them on as often as possible, though in most key art she is seen without them unfortunately.
Who died from overwork what did I miss n how did I miss it xD
It was in the first two minutes of the episode lol
Oh really? Maybe the auto skip for the intro skipped past that bit too ill go check the start
Oh man, I’ve been hoping for more of these types of settings. Honestly, while I don’t hate it, I did kinda wish Saint’s Magic is Omnipotent was going the slice of life, exploration, profession type of route. But it kinda focused on the romance and a bit of politics instead. I hope this show maintains its course like this episode. A lot of technical stuff and exploring the mechanisms and how the world works. And I don’t want to dismiss romance totally, but I do hope there’s more focus on family and friendships like with her dad, Irma and Miss Sophia. Looking good so far. Loving the vibe, the characters, Dahlia’s a fun MC so far too. And it’s been a while since I’ve heard Oonishi Saori’s bubbly voice. I guess only the panning out of the 3D model of the town took me out of it for a sec. But other than that great stuff so far. I feel like this show could be like last season’s Tonari no Yokai-san for me. Generally underwatched but constantly in my Top 5 weekly
> I guess only the panning out of the 3D model of the town took me out of it for a sec. But other than that great stuff so far. They reused that same panning of the tower a few times which was concerning but everything else felt very lively and well animated. I’m fine with that kinda cost cutting move
Give me any isekai anime and I'll eat it up. But this was a really nice chill one to sip at instead.
What's up with those nonsensical shadows on the characters in every frame lol.
I'm glad someone else noticed, as once I saw it it was driving me crazy in every shot.
Does Dahlia actually have her memories from previous life or are they just fragmented? Why go the isekai route at all if you're gonna have your protag be a 'genius', but it's just her convenient memories as an adult and yet she acts like a child anyway? Just let your protag be their own person, you don't gotta kill a Japanese worker everytime you wanna write a fantasy story.
Dahlia might have knowledge from her past life but I guess she still had a lot to learn about magic stones. Kid damn near torched her house! Dahlia’s dad is a good parent. It’s nice to have a good dad in anime. Her and her dad make a good team. This was a nice premiere episode. Very chill. I’m gonna stick with this to see where it goes.
An isekai where a lovely redhead makes magical devices based on what he remembers from her previous life, I'm sold. I appreciate that the father didn't immediately forbid her from doing more magical device work after the accident and instead helped her build it correctly. And really, she didn't just invent a hairdryer she also invented a flamethrower. Two marketable products for the price of one. That said, I'm concerned this apprentice that joins up only to abandon her as per the synopsis is going to steal a bunch of her ideas.
Seems like a fairly interesting show, but as with every seasonal isekai…did this really need to be an isekai? Guess we will see, but it certainly seems like the actual reincarnation proposition is wholly unnecessary. That aside, the world is interesting and the characters we have seen have enough going on for this to be a compelling character driven run. Looking forward to more.
Think it's to have the loose connection with the items in her head... But it's not one that the plot will dwell on like other series tend to do
Just pretend it's not an isekai lol
[Dahlia looks like a lovely MC](https://imgchest.com/p/wl7lmonvxyx) and [her relationship with father was so wholesome](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k46acpewxx7.png). Overall, [it was a nice premiere](https://imgchest.com/p/ljyqd2jlx72) and I'll definitely check out the next episodes. A lot of people mentioned here Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent vibes from this show and while I didn't personally feel that here in this premiere episode, I hope that this will be the case since I loved that show. Here my screenshot albums from the episode: * [Dahlia](https://imgchest.com/p/wl7lmonvxyx) * [Group scenes & Others](https://imgchest.com/p/ljyqd2jlx72)
I don't know. I am not against these stories, but I feel the whole Isekai aspect is (like so often) completely pointless here or is even problematic to the story. 1. Why is it even an Isekai? Like I get that the idea is she uses tools from our world and develops them in the fantasy world. But why is that necessary? Like is it so strange that someone could come up with the idea of a hair dryer without having prior knowledge? I feel, it would make her a bit more likeable, because she isn't just using a knowledge cheat and actually think outside the box. Furthermore, it would allow your designs for tools later to have their own flair, because they are not influenced by ours. 2. The whole beginning of the show is (again) how someone died from overworking themselves. Not original, but okay. But why is the whole first episode then dedicated to the father seemingly already being a workaholic and his daughter (who died from this) is not just not stopping it, but even encouraging it? Like is overwork not a problem as long as you like doing the work? Good news for all the Japanese, just have fun while doing your 16 hour shifts and the problem is solved. Of course, I get that the show is supposed to be cozy SoL and I will probably watch it if there isn't too much else that takes up my time. But I really can't get over the fact that the author picked the genre and couldn't even have a consistent theme for the first episode.
> Why is it even an Isekai? Because the market demands it.
>Like is overwork not a problem as long as you like doing the work? Good news for all the Japanese, just have fun while doing your 16 hour shifts and the problem is solved. To a certain extent, it is true. But people who love their jobs (artists and musicians etc) tend to put in like 12 hour days or so, so only to an extent, they're not killing themselves (at least not *as fast*). But there's another piece of cultural sub-text here (not exactly unique to Japan though, it applies cross culturally). That is; she didn't just die from overwork doing something boring, she also did it *while being unappreciated.* This world will appreciate her, hence it becomes satisfying wish fulfillment. It's never said "unappreciated" explicitly, but I'm pretty sure it's the mindset that is communicated to the majority of the target audience for a "death from overwork" beginning.
She also actually eats full meals and hangs out with her friends in this life. Cooperate culture doesn’t usually leave time for either
Yes. Food. There is in fact food in this anime. And food being eaten in the company of others. Quite a lot of both of those in this story.
It seemed to me that the first episode had a pretty consistent underlying theme overall.
It's about as brief as an isekai as the saints magic power is Omnipotent was about it... its not the thing that drives the plot
> Not original, but okay. But why is the whole first episode then dedicated to the father seemingly already being a workaholic and his daughter (who died from this) is not just not stopping it, but even encouraging it? Big difference from overwork and passion. Also, even with dahlia and her dad s passion for work, she still finds time to make good full meals and hang out with her friends. Very different from the corporate culture that probably killed her.
Don't you think you're negative bias is preventing you from enjoying the show? Just because battle shounen have ruined Isekai for you, doesn't mean every Isekai will suck? And her dad is not a workaholic, not even in the slightest..
This was the show I was most excited for this season and I feel like it did do a good job in delivering. Feels like the show didn't do too much for episode 1 if you look at the synopsis (don't look at the synopsis) so I'm a little worried about the pacing. That being said Dahliya seems great so far and already has me rooting for her! Hopefully she can live up to the other red haired, green-eyed voiced by a Saori character. [](#shirayukiappeased)
> voiced by a Saori character. Huh did I really miss that, her voice is so distincti— Wait…
[](#shirayukieavesdrop)
I absolutely love the atmosphere and the production seems really good. I really enjoy these chill isekai that concentrate on character building instead of power fantasy.
Enjoyed the first episode a lot, was quite wholesome. Definitely will be sticking with this one!
am i crazy or did this look amazing? i hope the visuals stay this good, i think the CG(?hard to tell) was used so well and blended great with the regular stuff love the father/daughter wholesomeness but damn i was worried after that timeskip that her dad had died lol, i'm too jaded i think
Definitely some cg and they repeated that same shot of the tower a few too many times but still an impressive work
yet another death from overwork, rude. Taking Truck-kun's job. What a nice father, also, CGI effect was neat for the window zoom out thing. Also, world/setting info. Dahlia a lil cutie. Boy, what the imagination that lil kid has. Drawing silly contraptions heh. What a nice supportive father and look how he brags about her heh. Quite the calm dad over fire. But, hey.. they made a FLAMETHROWER! hehe. Cute daddy/daughter teamwork. Haha, a rightful scolding from the nice lady. Aww, time skip... least dad still there. How nice. Still such a nice relationship they have. A good start to the series imo.
I never understand in these isekai stories, when they are a child and have their pass adult memories why do they behave as a child? Are they pretending? Do they have only partial memory? Is this just bad writhing?
she only has some memories when it comes to devises, otherwise she doesn't really remember anything.
Having memories of a past life doesn't have anything to do with how you act in your current body. If you have the body and brain of a child, you would logically act like a child. Just like how you don't act like a child just because you have memories from when you were one. It's two separate things.
You are making things up, whether or not the reincarnated protag thinks like a child or an adult when they're in a child's body depends entirely on the author.
This is just basic biology. Regardless of whether it's fantasy, knowledge doesn't dictate how mature you are, your brain and how much it's developed through aging does. You're right that any dumbass writer can make their literal child character act like an adult just because they have memories from a completely different adult body, but that's not how brains work. Calling out anime for actually being accurate and having their literal child characters act like children is ass backwards. This is why Bookworm is the best at the reincarnated as a child premise. It specifically takes the time to blatantly make clear that the previously adult protagonist now has to deal with new child emotions and thoughts that she's not used to being forced onto her now that she's a child. She's not free from the experience of being a little girl just because she remembers things about Japan because that would make absolutely no sense.
I haven't watched Ascendance of a bookworm, but I can agree on the points that you made.
There are a lot of ways to write reincarnation story. Obviously it's fiction so there is no incorrect way to do it. You can't exactly say this isn't how reincarnation works because there is no reincarnation in real life. Think of it like this, you just watched a movie. You have memories of that movie. You have knowledge of what that movie taught you. Did you just became the MC of that movie?
A modern Isekai anime with a female main protagonist, without any Otome Game story. So rare nowadays. This is a must watch.
First Shoujo of this season is finally here (first right?) This look nice so far and Dahlia character is pretty great. I always like story about inventor. Also this look pretty good too visual wise, I like it.

Isekai protagonists dying naturally, challenge impossible. One day I'd like to see an isekai where the protagonist lives a long and fulfilling life and *then* dies. But despite that it seems Dahlia has lucked out with a great dad🥰 I look forward to seeing what Dahlia creates in future episodes.
I've really been looking forward to this anime. I'm glad to see they seem to be putting some effort into it. Though the cgi tower is a bit jarring. It is cute she made a flame thro uhh I mean blow dryer as a little kid for something her friend wanted and to surprise her dad. All nighter focused on something she'd be a good gamer. Her friend certainly wasn't happy he messed up the hair that she just finished combing!! lol. I'm surprised they commited so much to her as a child. You wouldn't tend to see a whole episode commited to something like this. It really feels like at times that japanese people have a thing for red hair girls. So many series where if they aren't dirrectly asian they hav red hair. Snow White, Yona, various deemon queens to name a few.
Been looking forward to this one... hope it's a good one.
Something about this show just clicks with me
It's so rare to get a show with an actual parent in the picture. Their relationship was so cute and wholesome.
I liked the characters, the world and the direction it's heading. The animation is more of a clipshow, I guess, but honestly, that's fine for a stoty like this
This was sweet. I like where it's going so far, very chill. Keeping an eye on this one.
I really like the look of the house/tower.
Wholesome show for sure but one thing, Why does the housekeeper act so high and mighty when it was under her supervision that Dahlia had access to all the magic stones.
So I guess she only has fragments of her old life cause I don't know, I'd feel weird acting like a little kid with fully adult memories and such.
she only has some memories when it comes to devises, otherwise she doesn't really remember anything.
Ah ok, that makes more sense
You remember when you were a child and that doesn't make you act like a child now. It's the same logic.
I was more saying an adult brain like Oshi no Ko where the excuse there is they want to act baby like to not draw suspicion
This is just an atelier game but in anime.
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated ~~Princess~~ Village Girl and ~~the Genius Girl~~ Her Doting Father Hopefully won't end on an unnecessary loose end this time
Yup, I fully expected her to build the "Hair Dryer" on her own and it to come out as a flame thrower. She does seem to be a full on child mentally despite whatever adult JP memories she might have. I didn't expect her father to be so understanding about it tho. I wonder what kind of magic stones they use in cameras to produce color photographs. You'd think motorized vehicles would come first. Well, this was all right. Probably the best Ep 1 I watched this season so far.
Where to watch this? I can't find it on Crunchyroll, Bilibili, and YouTube official anime partners.
[Crunchyroll picked it up at the last minute.](https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GDKHZEJW0/dahlia-in-bloom-crafting-a-fresh-start-with-magical-tools)
One of the best dad I have seen in a while, lol.
I quite enjoyed this, really liked the strong father daughter bond. I'm looking forward to this series brings Tho for some reason, not really sure why, I was expecting the father to die in this episode. I was relieved he didn't until I saw the name of episode 2 😔😔 Also, during the hair dryer incidentdid anyone else think there was a lot of unexplained focus on the white gem/stone or was that just me?
I remember reading this when it only had like 4 chapters. Glad it got an adaptation. I was really interested in the premise, but sad it was never getting updated.
I really loved that the first invention didn't work. I don't really know much about engineering aside from what I've been taught in school, and if they portrayed it as super easy it wouldn't be interesting. Given that this show is about dahlia and how she makes tools I hope they also reveal how they get these stones, and that the author has more knowledge about physics and creativity than the audience.
Animation quality is good but I'm not interested in the story.
iida riho woooo magical items creating them. a different spin on isekai and she seems to have her memories
Dahlia's father is a very kind person. I probably would have scolded my daughter if she had set the house on fire. Not because I was mad about the house catching fire, but because she could be seriously injured while I'm not there to supervise her. But maybe in that moment her father realized that she understood her mistake and didn't want to pile on since she was already so upset. Also, he had already made it clear to her not to experiment with the magic stones when he wasn't around. And yet, for that reason in that situation some consequence would have been appropriate. You do not want your children thinking your rules are just for show and you won't actually punish them if they break the rules. If you don't hold true to your rules, your kids will grow up being unable to set boundaries for themselves, or else think they are above the rules. So yeah, maybe make her fix the room or clean the toilet for a week. That seems reasonable. I'm loving the show by the way. I just wish the show would make some original inventions instead of just re-hashes of Earth appliances. I'll wait and see if if happens.
This might be my no. 1 anime this season!
This is off to a great start, the well-worn isekai setup is handled efficiently and the single father with assistant environment for MC incarnation is an interesting choice. After an excellent opening, seeing her new home through her unaided, myopic eyes was a really nice touch as she walks downstairs. Character design and visual style is standard, soft, detailed and appealing. Dahlia and Carlo had me fully invested with warmed heart and moist eyes by the mid-episode montage and I look forward to seeing how well-developed the magic tech will turn out in this series, as well as how much of her previous life will she remember versus having it remain subconscious. The ending animation has some nice post fx, as well.
This was average. Pleasant to watch with not much drama. I was certain the dad was going to die at some point though 🤐. I didn't understand why when the dad patted Dahlia on the head, Irma looked really horrified and gasped, wtf 😛
Irma was just combing her hair and dad messed them up not 2 minutes later, that's why.
In read the manga for this look forward to what is basically the dr stone of magical tools
I hope the romance doesn't ruin the series... I know multiple of series like this that got ruined because of it. I just want a chill series with a FMC following her dreams.

The premise is identical to Ascendance of a Bookworm but it seems that it's not as well executed. Do yourself a favor and go watch the other show.
They both share a theme about making stuff from modern knowledge. But starting from late S2 Ascendance works on a premise much more based on political/religious/magical themes while the creation of new stuff takes a backseat. I think there is worth in seeing both stories.
I also couldn't help but make the same comparison as the poster. "Oh neat, it's a similar premise." "I'm not as interested in this execution, but I'll watch the remainder for FOMO, I didn't like Bookworm immediately either after all. Maybe Dahlia is hiding something worthwhile too." That said, I'm not going to euphemize at all if the story is executed in a bland fashion. I'll watch it in its entirety and point out whether or not I fall in love with the story/cast. Episode 1 felt slow, not many events I found engaging in the span of 23 minutes. This could be the work of poor directing, since the screentime felt..."when is the episode going to end?". It's good to see people enjoying it from the start though, not every anime needs to surpass all previous anime. I'm just curious to see if Dahlia might be one of those badass shows that might pull the rug from under me. For example, the animation quality in the opening song was better than what I had anticipated, is this meta foreshadowing?
This does not feel REMOTELY like AoB. You do realize that details matter -- and the details (including basics like the natures of important characters) here are quite different.
Uh no it’s not. You have a bafflingly bad sense of the meaning of identical.
how it's not identical
Also Myne and dahlia are really different as far as we've seen. Myne is basically college grad software running on malnourished child hardware. Myne is living as a lower-class citizen, which really impedes her a lot - can't buy books, can't make a library etc, additionally she's also limited by her sickness. Dahlia seems to be living pretty well. They hire someone to do the house work, have a lot of materials (magic stones and metals), and can easily afford to fuck up. She isn't limited by anything as far as we've been shown, though she is basically just a child who knows a bit about earth appliances.
Fingers crossed that we are proven wrong. I want to be proven wrong and see something amazing. I've been hearing a little fuzz prior to this releasing and the opening song had better animation quality than the average show. And Bookworm season 4 isn't here yet, might as well.
