Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army

This season of anime was filled with many wholesome fantasy shows and Chillin in my 30's was one of the best ones. Its a nice wholesome journey about finding ones purpose in life, misconceptions one can have, fatherhood, golden/gifted child syndrome, healing from insecurity, trauma, and the scars of war. Each character has their own personality, desires, and opinions about various things in the world and in a Naruto/Black Clover style- our main guy sheds light on many issues and may even in the future, cause world peace through empathy. The romance elements are great and have a high reward, especially for a show thisshort. The demon lord is an amazing character with an amazing background, and the little bit of world building we get is excellent. There's very little drama, the animation is great, the characters are well thought out, the art style is great, etc. I highly recommend this show. I am not sure if I would rate this a 9 or 10 out of 10 I just know I greatly enjoyed it. If you want a wholesome feel good fantasy action with great art, characters, music, and fight scenes mixed with communication then this is for you.

Chillin’ in My 30s is easily one of the most wholesome media I have ever had the pleasure to watch and some of the most pleasantly spent 4 hours of my life. I’m probably being a touch too dramatic, because it’s really got nothing special going on, but in a sense, therein lies its charm. It’s just really, really, really nice. I honestly haven’t got much to say. The title pretty much says it all. Dariel is a soldier in the Demon King’s army, but gets fired because his inability to use magic makes him useless. After aimlessly wandering through the forest, he encounters Marika, abeautiful village girl, and saves her from a pursuing monster. As thanks, she invites him to live with her family in the village. There he finds out that he is in fact not a demon, but actually a human, which explains his inability to use magic. Thus, Dariel’s slow second life begins. Perhaps the most gratifying aspect of Chillin’ is its romance. Aside from the fact that the main heroine is so hot that she is on the knife’s edge of what can still be considered tasteful, she is impossibly wifely. What’s more, you get a wholesome love story in this anime! Rejoice! You might experience some minor frustration with off-screening, which I can’t really explain without spoiling, so I won’t, but you’ll understand when you watch it. It’s not a big deal – more of an “Aw, man!” type thing. Mind you, while Chillin’ is mostly a fantasy slice-of-life show, it does in fact have an overarching plot. It’s certainly not a story you could ever accuse of moving quickly, but a story nonetheless. There’s plenty of decent action, too. However, if you expect that to be the meat and potatoes of the series, you will be disappointed. There’s a fair amount of Talk no Jutsu going on and plenty of dangerous and risky situations will resolve themselves fairly softly and elegantly without much ado. Things will just have a way of working out. If you feel like that would detract from your experience, fair enough, to each their own, but please do not for a moment think that just because conflict resolutions do not come down to Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha clashes or Game of Thrones-esque complicated political schemes, that somehow detracts from the objective quality of the anime. It’s just not that kind of show. All of that being said, what I respect most about Chillin’, as well as other shows of its kind, such as Misfit at Demon King Academy, is that they’re not isekais. This is not a huge deal at a textual level, but I consider that what the authors are doing to be the Lord’s work at a metatextual level. While they tick pretty much all of the isekai boxes – dude who comes from a different kind of place, different kind of life, now has to adapt to this new place and life – they’re not actual isekai shows, because they don’t need to be! Like Anos, Dariel is a dude who was born in the universe’s fantasy world and grew up in it. Whatever makes him special is borne of the fantasy world itself. Both Chillin’ and Misfit are bona fide high fantasy stories. Tragic as though it may be that I find myself in a position of praising a show for not forcing an isekai trapping, given the state of the medium, I cannot praise it enough! The show’s got everything you could want from feel-good media, decent action, loveable characters, good humor, emotional stories, and wholesome romance. If you ever find yourself in need of something to soothe your soul, by all means – this might be one of my warmest recommendations.

In my opinion was the best non harem non isekai good and simple with a decent story anime! so.. this anime was the perfect combination .simple and accurate To be more precise: - we have a loser concept like an isekai MC but then it appears more like just a guy in his 30's who discovers he is enogh powerfull to take care of himself. - Then we have some romance some comedy some action . - The romance was perfect scene , a guy and a girl who likes eachother and don't hide the fellings,it was just like how adults handle the love situations-Quick story forword without scenarios who last 2-3 episodes🤣 - The action was good they gave us some "epic" fight scenes - the comedy implanted between the frames was hilarious some of them more or less -the story is simple and the plot is twisting at some point but it explain everything. -even the MC is very chill he still choose not to fight like crazy .even when is his family at the middle .he choose the peace over violence that why it makes better Like other animes who has the power of friendship who in the end is victorious -and for last we have our MC who is not OP but also is not weak is between avarage is a cool and chill 30 yrs old man who is very strong 🤣🙌 . If you had enough of isekai anime were the MC have 4 famales and he never choose one. you had enough of story with twisting plots , if you had enough MC overpowerd with no rival . than i recommand this to watch. Is enjoyable 💋

Not sure why this is 7-overall? perhaps some of us didn't make it to the end. This was an easy, but incredibly satisfying binge. The start is a bit rocky, but the more of it you watch, the more it grows on you. This takes the "seemingly" classic; expelled from army/party set-up, and executes it on the highest level I've seen to date. This is a great show, with almost no drawbacks. Can we give it a 10? No, it doesn't take enough risks and is the standard 12 episodes. Started it, and couldn't stop until it ended, I was completely immersed, you can tell it was written witha lot of thought. Usually, with this type of anime, I need about 3 sittings to finish them. This isn't your average anime fantasy, the likes of which are cringe, cliched, filled with worthless fanservice, harems and other box-ticking garbage. Rather, it takes some of those familiar elements but uses them more sparingly to ensure the experience isn't overwhelmed by these tack-on tropes. The MC is a breath of fresh air , something different, which also bolsters the experience. He isn't some giga-simp, self-insert, pathetic, "relatable" or on the other hand, omni-benevolent, pure-soul, dense, etc. He fits in well with the story his character is very consistent with his upbringing. Later on in the story, you're rewarded with a very interesting, but foreshadowed plot-twist which creates a healthy paradox. Everything is quite well balanced in the show, most of the characters are used masterfully well for the plot. Some manage to receive a decent amount of development in these very short, 12 episodes. There is very prudent writing here, though at some parts perhaps this show is too idealistic, but at the end of the day we watch these shows for enjoyment, and it certainly passes on that. Gives us some of those great old-fashioned tones without the present day stitched on degeneracy. What could be better? A better opening, to captivate the audience, some started it but weren't too impressed. The Art, Animation and Sound are used efficiently but they aren't too remarkable. More episodes couldn't hurt. Darker themes could have been explored, haply for a second season? Art & Animation 7 Sound 7 Characters 10 Story 9 Enjoyment 10 7 + 7 + 10 + 10 + 9 = 43/50 (8.6/10) Overall 9 This is one of the best shows this winter season, hurry up and watch it when you have free time. Hope this helps.
