Anime "The Weakest Tamer Began a Garbage Collection Journey." 🎒🌿

The original work is a Japanese light novel, adapted into an anime in 2024 with a total of 12 episodes. A second season has been announced, but the release date has not yet been revealed. The story takes place in a world where abilities are evaluated by skill star ratings. The girl, Fimih, is ostracized by the villagers because she possesses the "starless" tamer skill, considered the weakest, forcing her to leave her homeland alone. She renames herself Ivy and sustains herself by collecting discarded items and capturing wild animals. On her journey, she meets a weak slime named Sora, embarking on an unknown adventure. I really love Ivy's gentle and hardworking nature, and the monsters accompanying her are also very cute! Although the beginning of the story is a bit harsh, the overall atmosphere is quite warm. Additionally, it has a strong road trip feel. Ivy meets all sorts of people in different places, many of whom are adults who are kind and helpful to her, but they don't necessarily become long-term companions. Through repeated encounters and farewells, Ivy continues her journey with her monsters. While it didn't completely captivate me, I found it to be a smooth and enjoyable watch overall, a work where you can feel the warmth of the journey😊
