The series may still return.
The year 2024 turned out to be very generous with the premieres of new interesting anime. However, among dozens of worthy contenders, fans of Japanese comedies chose only one project as the best: ‘The Elf Can’t Lose Weight’.
The story of nutritionist Tomoatsu Naoe, whose new client is the elf Elfuda, has captured the attention of viewers from the very first episode. Elfuda has one big problem: she has gained a lot of weight during her life among humans, and now she is not allowed to enter her home world.
Naoe will try to return the elf to her old form, although this will not be so easy.
The hilarious comedy has not yet finished its first season and fans are already demanding more. Representatives from Elias studio are still silent about the future of the anime, but we believe that “The Elf Can’t Lose Weight” will definitely be renewed for a second season.
The fact is that the anime is based on the popular manga by the mysterious author Synecdoche, and the first season of the series only adapted a small part of Naoe and Elfuda’s adventures.
On August 20, 2024, Synecdoche released a new volume of the manga, which became an instant hit in Japan. The comic was released after the first season started, so the anime writers have a new big story for the plot of the second season.
Surprisingly, “The Elf Can’t Lose Weight” became a hit in Russia, but not in the US. The funny and slightly obscene story was rated by almost two thousand Kinopoisk users, while on IMDb the project received only 81 ratings.
Admittedly, not all Russian fans have a positive attitude towards comedy. It currently has a very average rating 6.5 points.
Episode 11 of the anime “Elf Can’t Lose Weight” will be released on September 14th on Kinopoisk.
