Where Dreams Are Made of Clouds (and Maybe a Little Mayhem)
14 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
In a sudden twist of fate, an ordinary girl finds herself transported to another world. There, a powerful deity tasks her with a weighty decision: the fate of humanity. For generations, humans have mistreated non-human races, and now they face judgment. To help her decide, the deity grants her an extraordinary ability - the unwavering affection of all non-human creatures.

Fluffy Paradise started strong with adorable friendships and lighthearted moments, exactly what I craved. But things went off the rails around the middle. The story threw in kidnappings, a corrupt government, a confusing dungeon project, monster hunting groups, warring factions, and even the death of some sweet, fluffy dog-people! To top it all off, the ending left everything hanging.

This anime started out promising lighthearted fun, like watching someone cook by a campfire. But it took a sharp turn into a super serious civil war plot. The adorable fluff took a backseat, which is a real bummer because that's what drew me in the first place.

The characters are another weak spot. Everyone except the main character's family feels totally bland and forgettable. I didn't even notice until the final episode, where they tried to show what the other characters were doing. By then, I'd already forgotten most of them because they were so generic!

Even though the opening and ending themes were adorable and the art was pretty good (especially the fluffy white tiger!), the anime itself wasn't that great. The beginning episodes were okay, but the second half was so frustrating that it makes the first part seem better in comparison. Don't be fooled by the initial cuteness (especially if you follow the 3-episode rule) - this anime isn't relaxing or particularly good. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 1 or 2 is because of the charming art style.
