"My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer" is where you watch the adopted daughter and her adopted father go on about their lives, who periodically contemplate about spending more time with each other as a family when they're preoccupied with their own problems that they face. Plotline is very simple and only really tickles your fantasy brain a little, but it does not try to be any more than that, they are just kinda there and slowly forgotten. This story have some humor here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. It's one of those animes I would watch as if I'm a passerby, someone who just come and go to see how certain characters are doing from time to time, so I wouldn't really recommend this show if you're expecting a more intense, action-driven plot. Some people will probably find Angeline, the adopted daughter, to have a "dad complex" and find that rather iffy - but to me, I just see her as someone who really look up to Belgrieve as a father figure. What she does around him seem very childish and 'weird', but I feel like it's justifiable of a reaction for someone who cares about her father's wellbeing a lot. No need to worry about this getting into the inc*st route or something along the lines of it. There's nothing sexual about it and it shouldn't be seen that way, because in the later episodes, you would see that Angeline just want her adopted father to be well-off with someone that would be good for him and she's very alert about people who doesn't seem to respect personal boundaries around those she cares about.

I went into this thinking this was just going to be brain dead fluff, but was blown away by just how good the writing was. Yeah, the story is definetly more light hearted then most adventure fantasys but once the season started to pick up it was clear to me that the author had a vision for this. Looking forward to seeing season two <3

There’s something about the 90’s art style, guess you can call it nostalgia, that has me remanence as to how fantasy anime can look, and to be fair, this art style found in my daughter is s-rank fits it. It isn’t too highly polished, gives a bit of a gritty look to it. That’s just me.  Positives: Bel is the best dad, hands down. Kind, strong, patient, understanding (like when Miri tried to hide her ears due to her race being beast folk) Ange for all her hoth-headedness, she is enjoyable to watch. Plus, she kicks ass and is big sis to Byaku and Charlotte Found it hilarious how Ange tried to play match maker for her dad, and giving him the nickname “the red ogre” much to Bel’s chagrin Thought Anise and Miri got some decent screen time, the bickering and teasing of Miri towards Ange is funny What I love about Bel, even though he has a disability, he downplays, even humble about his ability, even though everyone else is stunned that he is capable of more, even exceeding I don’t usually comment on VA’s but holy heck Junichi Suwabe voicing Bel is awesome Loved the OP, Sen, the bagpipes smack hard Neutral: The art is alright I thought, nothing too fancy, perfect for the 80’s-90’s style art Battles were done okay, a bit quick, but okay Negatives: I don’t think there was any plot, if there was, easy to miss it Had a few interesting plot points that could have been more interesting, sadly they didn’t get developed, like who is this, Solomon? Bel’s past not given more time to shine Byaku and Charlotte didn’t get as much development, especially their past
