Guild no Uketsukejou desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nanode Boss wo Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu

This anime fails on so many levels that it ultimately betrays its own synopsis. The ultimate scam, it sells you a product you're interested in, only to deliver something completely flawed. We were supposed to get a story about a receptionist for an adventurers' guild in a fantasy world. One of the most recognizable but least explored figures in the genre. The guild is one of the most iconic institutions in any fantasy world, so getting to know its workings, structure, and hierarchy, with a bit of added comedy, was what it promised. It ended up giving us yet another One-Punch Man clone of the super-strongprotagonist who defeats everyone with a single blow because no one else can. On top of that, as if it wasn't generic enough at this point, they add a romance that no one asked for and that takes time away from the receptionist's work. The story is afraid of being different, of telling a little-explored story, which is why it falls into the error of resorting to the most clichéd elements of the genre. The script wasn't prepared to withstand this change, so it ends up weakening to the point that any element you review will fall apart at the first attempt at analysis. The receptionist character ends up being wasted because more time is spent in dungeons or fights than at the reception desk. Customer service issues are minimal, if not nonexistent. The supporting characters are inconsequential; they have no weight in either the plot or the fights. The power system is designed for the protagonist to fight alone, but she's tied to a team that's much weaker than her. This ends up being an obstacle rather than a help. Despite having an established power system, she constantly seeks to break it in order to make the supporting characters a little more competent. The enemies are flat; their motivations don't generate anything in you; you don't hate them, you don't pity them, you feel absolutely nothing towards them. The administrative issues surrounding the receptionists are completely hidden, and instead of showing them working, they only show them complaining. Complaints at one point are pointless because you never see them working, so if they never work their normal shift, it's obvious they'll have overtime. The best thing to do with this anime is to read the synopsis, imagine the exact opposite of what it says there, and if that catches your attention, then you can give it a chance.

Overtime the anime . I guess if i was a japanese working at one of those companies that run more like slave centers then an actual company i'd feel a tinge relatable. But even then, i can't understand why people would want to come back from said job to watch an anime about a character doing the exact same thing . Honestly the only saving graces in this anime is the voice acting of the main character and an animation that's not really that horrible. And that's about where the good ends. The bad is everywhere in this show, from the very premise it so painfullytries to force down your gullet, to the unintresting characters and the unlikable obnoxious main heroine. I don't care how cute you are , if you complain non-stop to that degree imma hit the ground running. Another big issue is the setup and the world itself . Usually it would've hit harder if this wasn't set in a fantasy world. Trying to basically sell me the fact that adventurers don't have such a hard time compared to these receptionists. Non-sense and slander at best. I can't for the life of me think of a harder job you could land outside of literal human sacrifice or low level cultist NPC about to be human sacrifice. A proffession that is basically a full on RNG fest from the cradle to the grave in 99% of the cases. Average joe clears a low level dungeon to eat his meal for the day... surprise, a random raid boss spawns , average joe is 6 feet deep. Not to mention on a tehnical level no quest no matter how well it pays is worth it as an adventurer, because once you're in the dirt those rewards ain't helpin ya.And you ain't fighting humans, you're fighting whatever horrors and monstrosities the world cooks. Not to mention this main character is just plain dumb. When you are strong enough to solo bosses by yourself you could literally solo clear and live an incredibily easy life. This setup would solve all of her issues day 1. The story has to go out of the way to create these problems. I mean, if the story tried to make the heroine intentionally easy to hate, they've hit the jackpot. All that being said, this show's a total snoozefest, and i wouldn't recommend it even to pass time even with the very few redeeming qualities it brings.

Good little anime, it was a decent watch. Like with many generic anime titles, the name gives away the premise lol. The story follows a girl who works as a guild receptionist and absolutely hates working overtime. To avoid being buried in paperwork, she secretly clears dungeons herself, pretending to be an adventurer. There’s a deeper plot involving dark gods and rare skills. The most coveted of all is the Dia skill an incredibly rare ability, and our main character, Alina, just so happens to have it. This makes her arguably the best adventurer around. There’s also a subtle romance between Alina and Jade, the leader ofthe Silver Sword party, though she’d never admit it. This feels like a simple one-shot anime. They left the door open for a second season, but I doubt it was popular enough to get one. What really stood out to me were the cute character designs. I don’t know what it was exactly maybe the chubby cheeks, the big eyes, or the way the mouths were placed, but all the characters had this soft, appealing look. Even some of the guys had squishy cheeks! As for the music, the opening and ending were practically interchangeable. They even swapped them a few times, which I think was intentional. Both were enjoyable, though not the kind of tracks I’d put on repeat. Overall: 7/10 A decent anime to watch. Don’t count on a season 2, so it’s an understandable skip if you’re looking for a complete story. But all in all, it was a fun ride.

The promise: A series about a receptionist who will do anything to prevent herself having to deal with overtime. The delivery: A series about yet another overly powerful character who nonsensically destroys every obstacle simply because it is an obstacle. Very little character growth, very little change from episode to episode. The titular receptionist character rarely performs duties as a receptionist during her screen time. Of the 12 episodes, approximately 3 have even a single frame of her behind the counter at the Guild. It's not an isekai per se, but if you've ever seen one before you've seen all the core components of this series. Theseries has a few key components that are interesting - the Skill Tier system where a higher tier skill can overwrite or destroy a lower tier skill, and the Skill Combination system. Both of these interesting mechanics were used twice, and then summarily ignored... even in the same fight they are mentioned. Verdict: Avoid. If you've already experienced this genre before (RPG-style dungeon exploration) then you very likely have seen better series than this. If you have not experienced the genre before, then this is a terrible starting point.
