Synopsis

As a chief operative of the villainous Kisaragi Corporation, Sentouin Roku-gou receives orders to help the organization conquer the entire known universe. Tasked with infiltrating the kingdom of Grace—a mission that could change the fate of the world—Roku-gou mistakenly believes that his skills as a combatant are superb, fuelling his arrogant attitude. To ensure the success of the mission, Alice Kisaragi, an exceptional android with a youthful appearance named after the company itself, is assigned to be Roku-gou's travel companion.

Upon their arrival at the outskirts of the kingdom, Alice and Roku-gou encounter Snow, the commander of the country's royal guard. Snow leads the pair to a broken legendary artifact, and Roku-gou seizes the opportunity for a long-awaited promotion at his company and changes the recitation for the sacred ritual to an embarrassing phrase. As punishment, the princess of the kingdom forces Roku-gou to become an honorary knight, fulfilling part of his mission. Having infiltrated the kingdom's inner circle, Roku-gou must now help his new employer fight against the Demon Lord's Army, all while perpetuating evil deeds as a combatant of the Kisaragi Corporation.

The wonderful thing about the Internet is the amount of freedom we have. And with freedom, we can use our creativity to build worlds, to imagine ourselves in places where we never expected, or meet people from the other side of the globe. What does that tell you about anime? Well, it means writers are able to freely express their thoughts and ideas into their work no matter how ludicrious it is.

Take Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! for example. It's written by Natsume Akatsuki, the same writer who is the brainchild behind the KonoSuba franchise. You remember Konosuba, right? Unless you've been living under a rock, that ... series became a light novel and anime sensation back when it was airing. And now, he's back. Mr Akatsuki decided to translate his ideas into this show because freedom allows him to do what and how he wants. Isn't freedom just wonderful?

To be fair, Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is a completely seperate show and doesn't have any direct connection with Konosuba. So yes, go ahead and watch this without any knowledge would be a fairly straightforward easy thing to do. However, that doesn't mean you won't feel a similar experience when watching this goofball of a show. If you've ever felt the need to turn your brains off, then feel free to jump right in. But I should warn you, this anime loves comedy and the author wants you to laugh every square inch of the way.

As the first episode progressed, we quickly find out just how goofy the main cast is. Let's start with Combat Agent Six, the man with the perverted mind who wants to do lewd acts to his bosses, from the organization Kisaragi. Yeah, you heard me right. Six explifies the type of protagonist who says what's on his mind and does what he wants, or even who he wants. Out of every character in the show, we see him perform the most lewd acts and because it's part of his mission to collect "Evil Points". I don't know how high the author was when he created Six but let's just say that he is about as obnoxious as a protagonist can get. Joining him as a group of female characters including Alice, Snow, Rose, Grimm, and his superiors. The majority of the show follows Six's group to collect evil points and and completing missions. No, it's not an RPG because Six himself isn't into roleplaying. He only seems to care about himself at first but he does get the job done when the time calls for it. Surprisingly, Six is actually efficient with some of his clever yet underhanded tactics. In various episodes, he behaves like a fool but can also be a badass when he wants. I don't mean type of badass that will make his look enemies weak. What I mean is that Six can be very efficient with his combat skills and it's why Kisaragi decided to employ him as an agent on their assignments.

Six doesn't carry this anime all on his shoulders. We can't ignore the pretty android Alice, can we? Out of all the main cast in this show, she is perhaps the most normal and that's saying a lot when you realize she isn't even human. Unlike Six, she demonstrates a serious attitude on her assignments and often berates him for his foolish behavior. Their first meeting in the show starts out rocky but over time seems to get along well enough to get jobs done. Then, there's Snow, the woman with the haughty attitude and executive officer serving under Six. Their relationship in the show is comically toxic. By toxic, I don't just mean it as drama, insults, and names thrown at each other. What I mean is that Snow has to deal with Six for he is if she wants to remain in her position. And as fate turns out, she does warm up to Six and the others as time drags on. That doesn't refrain Six from talking lewd words to her though. Outside of these three, there's also Grimm, the flirtious redhead in the wheelchair. And despite being flirty, she becomes embarassed when lewd acts are performed on her. Many episodes shows that she is a pure hearted girl inside but acts like the opposite outside. And last but not least, there's Rose, a mascot of their group with a massive appetite. It seems when the author created her, they wanted a main character to fill the void of a gluttonious girl. When you package these characters together, you get perhaps the most idiotic group of 2021.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves though. Outside of Six's group, we also need to know about Kisaragi and their goal. What is Kisaragi? The easiest way to say it is that they are an evil organization. Sure, they are "evil" but to emphasize, the show doesn't protray them as malicious as they sound. In fact, Kisaragi has moral obligations and I dare say that their members aren't evil at all. Freezing Astaroth and Flaming Belial are two members who tasked Six to collect "Evil Points" but the way they protrayed their assignments almost seems like a parody. Evil Points is collected by evil deeds but the anime subverts and downplays as a joke. That is also thanks to Six's actions such as trying to gain evil points by lifting Grimm's skirt. Regardless, I think once you've seen the first few episodes, you'll realize the anime isn't bound on showing how "evil" Kisaragi is at all.

Tagged with some of the familiar genres you'd expect from the Konosuba author, the anime itself loves its running jokes. There's countless recurring gags such as Snow's money fetish, Six's perverted way of living life, or Grimm being the target of sexual harassment. Sexual references and allusions is also common thanks to words being misunderstood. For instance, a conversation between Six and Grimm once gave him the impression of sex when she actually wants to eat him. There's also dick jokes thrown around by Six's perverted mind to the princess Tillis. It seems at every opportunity, this show will make fun of itself in some shape or form, usually the perverted way.

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is the type of anime that you can recommend to your friend but I'd be careful if they've never seen something similar like this before. They might get the wrong impression or message of what the author wanted them to see. But if you're watching this show on your own, let's just say that turning your brain off is an understatement. In fact, turn all common sense off because this anime has transcended beyond the realm of normalcy. This is far from a normal show and the author wanted you to be free to experience their work. Isn't being able to express your thoughts like this so freely just wonderful?

Mixed Feelings

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is basically a retelling of KonoSuba—only much, much inferior. That's not to say that it's particularly a bad anime, but does that matter much when pretty much the entire time I was thinking: "I wish I was watching KonoSuba instead."

The idea of parodying isekai RPGs was novel few years ago. However, after the release of countless light novels and anime that have parodied/attempted to parody isekai, this concept has become painfully dull as practically everything about the genre has already been covered. Originally a light novel by Natsume Akatsuki—the creator of KonoSuba—Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is essentially just another unremarkable isekai parody. I know what ...

Combatans will be dispatsched, the english title of the anime is an anime that exist. Did it have to exist? Not really, it is just a piece of work that I have so many problems with and its even worse after I knew who the author was. So lets give a small introduction to this Anime, it is an Isekai comendy show with a cast of a loli, a pervert, stupid and fan-service. Does that sound familiar, yeah its kinda the same as Konosuba but way worse in every aspect. And the worst part is is because its the same guy who made konosuba also ...
