Use Your Customer Service Smile!
Alina Clover, voiced by Rie Takahashi, has the perfect job as a guild receptionist. She enjoys a secure position, a cute uniform, and the chance to greet adventurers daily. However, her dreams of clocking out on time are shattered due to sluggish adventurers and an overwhelming amount of paperwork. Alina takes matters into her own hands, wielding her sword (or hammer) to tackle the tasks that adventurers can't manage, all while trying to maintain a relaxing life.
From the start, Alina's character is relatable for anyone who has worked in customer service, dealing with difficult customers and late-night paperwork. Her effort to force a smile during tough days is something many can empathize with. Guild Receptionist offers a unique perspective, focusing on the often-overlooked roles in fantasy anime, such as guild receptionists and merchants.
I Don’t Wanna Get Fired!
Alina's strength shines as she confronts the boss causing chaos for adventurers and herself. The animation beautifully balances slice-of-life moments with action-packed scenes. Although Alina's strength is yet to be fully revealed, her attempts to keep her boss defeat a secret lead to complications when an adventurer named Jade discovers her abilities. Alina finds herself in a precarious situation, wanting to keep her job while being drawn into Jade's party, Silver Sword.
With Episode 1 already captivating, Guild Receptionist stands out as a top contender for this season's watchlist. The animation exceeds expectations for a light novel adaptation, and Rie Takahashi’s performance brings Alina to life. This series is poised to be a favorite for Winter 2025!
