8/10
The Weakest Tamer is a Charming & Intriguing Tale
28 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This isekai-light story follows the young protagonist "Ivy" as they leave their tragedy-stricken town behind for the mysteries of the open road on a path to the country's capital. While the isekai element tends to be a subtle feature of the story, the unusual nature in which it's presented can take some getting used to.

The world around "Ivy" is rich with a bounty of supporting characters and cunning adversaries. It's fun to see how the protagonist will handle the challenges that face them and rewarding to see how they progress during their journey.

This is something I'll rewatch while waiting for the next season.

Spoilers: I was surprised by some aspects of the story that were ignored or under-explored: the protagonist's expressed gender was only questioned once despite looking and sounding feminine; and the protagonist seemed to largely ignore Sora's healing abilities after Sora saved them from a fatal injury.

The 12th episode has a cutscene following the outro that reveals the moments before the protagonist met their first companion.

Channel: Crunchyroll Language: English, dubbed.
