Chichi wa Eiyuu, Haha wa Seirei, Musume no Watashi wa Tenseisha [Season 1 Episode 7]

“Chichi wa Eiyuu, Haha wa Seirei, Musume no Watashi wa Tenseisha” Episode 7: A Whimsical Blend of Science and Fantasy

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a reincarnated Japanese scientist becomes an 8-year-old half-spirit with periodic table-based magic, look no further than Chichi wa Eiyuu, Haha wa Seirei, Musume no Watashi wa Tenseisha (Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I’m a Reincarnator). Season 1 Episode 7, titled “The White Tiger’s Return,” delivers exactly that—plus a healthy dose of family chaos, cute animal sidekicks, and a prince who just won’t take a hint.

First, let’s set the scene. Ellen, our pint-sized protagonist, is the daughter of Rovel (a legendary hero) and Origin (a spirit queen), but her real superpower? Remembering chemistry from her past life. In this episode, she’s not just playing with potions—she’s saving lives. When miners in her uncle’s village fall ill with a mysterious ailment (fans are calling it “fantasy pneumonia”), Ellen steps up. Using her knowledge of elements, she whips up a cure that leaves even her overprotective dad impressed. “Finally, Ellen acts like an isekai protagonist!” one MyAnimeList user cheered, and honestly? They’re right. It’s refreshing to see her past life skills matter beyond just making sparkly rocks.

But let’s talk about the real star of the show: Van, the giant white tiger who crashes Ellen’s family visit. Fans are split—is he Vint’s son or just a very large pet? Either way, his interactions with Ellen are pure gold. “Ellen is so happy to see Van,” gushed one viewer, referencing their adorable flashback moment. And can we blame her? Van’s fluffy design and playful energy steal every scene he’s in. Plus, his humanoid form (teased by fans) has everyone hyped—“I wonder what Van’s humanoid form will look like,” one commenter mused. Spoiler: If the light novel is any clue, it’s going to be chef’s kiss.

Now, the drama. The First Prince is back, and he’s more persistent than ever. “The elder prince really wants to see Ellen, to the point of bothering her uncle’s household,” a fan laughed. His obsession with Ellen is equal parts funny and cringey—dude, take a hint! But the real MVP here is Rafilia, Ellen’s cousin, who’s got zero filter. “I love Rafilia! She has no filter apparently!” another viewer exclaimed. Her bluntness adds a hilarious layer to the episode, especially when she calls out the prince’s nonsense.

Of course, no episode is complete without family feels. Ellen’s parents, Rovel and Origin, are goals—Rovel’s overprotectiveness (“Her father is immediately suspicious she did something to the quartz!”) and Origin’s unwavering support balance each other perfectly. And let’s not forget the 3-year time skip, which left fans scratching their heads: “Why does Ellen look exactly the same after 3 years? The Princes and Rafilia have obviously aged!” one user asked. Blame it on her half-spirit genes, I guess—eternal youth has its perks.

The animation, by the way, is top-notch. The vibrant colors and fluid movements bring Ellen’s elemental magic to life, especially when she’s mixing chemicals or summoning Van. And the voice acting? Seria Fukagawa nails Ellen’s mix of childlike wonder and adult intellect, while Kazuyuki Okitsu (Rovel) and Yutaka Nakano (Origin) add warmth to their roles.

If there’s one criticism, it’s that the episode feels a bit rushed. The time skip skips over Ellen’s growth, and some subplots (like the miners’ illness) are resolved a little too quickly. But honestly? It’s a small price to pay for the sheer joy this episode brings.

In short, Episode 7 is a delightful mix of humor, heart, and science. Whether you’re here for the cute tiger, the family dynamics, or Ellen’s badass chemistry skills, there’s something for everyone. And with Van’s human form on the horizon? We’re already counting down to next week.

Final Verdict: 8/10. A must-watch for isekai fans who want a break from the usual power fantasies. Just don’t forget to bring your periodic table—you might learn a thing or two.
