Anime Like So You're Raising a Warrior
A dragon so tired of existing that he decides raising a kid is less exhausting than fighting one more hero. The comedy lives in watching an immortal demon fail spectacularly at the one thing stronger than him: making sure a human child doesn't die before he's useful. By the end you realize the joke was never about the setup, it's about whether Ell actually wants to be saved anymore.
SYNOPSIS
Ell is an ancient dragon with an exhausting problem: he's so powerful that nothing can kill him. Desperate for the peace of death, he hatches a scheme to create his own undoing by raising a warrior strong enough to finally end him. When he crosses paths with Lafi, a young magician, Ell sees his opportunity and volunteers to mentor her son Dino, shaping the boy into a legendary hero through unconventional training and questionable parenting methods. What starts as a straightforward plan spirals into something neither dragon nor child expected. Ell discovers that raising a human comes with complications no battle ever prepared him for: emotional attachments, genuine affection, and the crushing weight of actually caring about someone's future. Dino, meanwhile, remains blissfully unaware of his guardian's ultimate goal, simply soaking up the strange wisdom of a dragon who keeps accidentally creating disasters while trying to teach basic life lessons. This is a comedy about the impossible gap between intention and reality, where a world-weary immortal gets tangled up in the messy, uncontrollable business of love.
