Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road

Average student Mitsuki Mutou suddenly finds himself transported to another realm. Summoned by the king of this world for the remarkable power he is supposed to possess, Mitsuki is thrown out when it appears that he lacks a Special Concept. Moping about, he encounters a priestess named Menou who explains that Japanese people like him are known as Lost Ones, and such individuals never fail to have Special Concepts.

Menou elaborates that she is part of a church that helps abandoned Lost Ones integrate into society. She invites him to spend the night at her church, where the two can probe the nature of his ability. Eventually, they discover that Mitsuki's Special Concept is actually incredibly powerful and dangerous.

But is Menou's true goal to assist Lost Ones—or the opposite?

A dark storyline in a rich world filled with strong women?
If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, just watch this now, it is so good. It starts off interesting but takes a few episodes to really dig into the world and develop, at that point it becomes excellent. This is a journey through a dark fantasy world and deconstruction of the Isekai genre. Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road, which I would translate more directly as The Executioner Girl's Pure Way of Life, is a journey through one of the richest and most interesting worlds I've seen in a long time. A world still reeling ... from major disasters that took place around 1000 years ago, called the four human errors. The human errors are some of the most creative and interesting world disasters I have ever seen in a plotline and I hope they will be explored more in the future. The details given in this anime make one want to see more of the world.

The story centers around a priestess who carries a dark burden, a tradition ever since the four human errors, to ensure they never happen again. The characters in this show are fantastic and varied greatly. The main characters are awesome and play off eachother so well, it is super fun to see them interact.

Overall I'd highly recommend this show if like my first line, a dark storyline in a dark fantasy world filled with strong women sounds awesome to you. The only reason I haven't rated it higher is that the ending leaves much more to be desired, I hope one day it'll be fulfilled.

Mixed Feelings

A different take from the flood of isekai that has saturated the anime market, The Executioner and Her Way of Life gives us something of a view from the other side of things.
Characters that have arrived in this world in standard isekai fashion are extremely powerful, but have a history of changing too much of the world are feared and seen as a problem to be controlled. The main character through this anime is dealing with the realities of her work as well as trying to develop as a person herself. There were several points where I thought I knew where the story was going ... only for it to be derailed rather suddenly.

The story as a whole is a pretty slow burn, the few focus characters are revealed over the course of the show, rather than all at once and it's a nice change from the info dump episodes I'm used to getting these days. However, with there only being one season and the story not being fully told, we do not get a real conclusion or full picture on anything. This is could be taken as a blessing or a curse for the show, depending on the viewer. Personally, I like when a show doesn't give me everything and I feel instead like I'm just viewing a fragment of a character's life, but I know that is not a style for everyone.

The tropes that are assigned to the supporting cast are really why this isn't a 10/10 show to me. There is a hard lean into obsession over the main character that at no point feels natural nor necessary. One character that isn't fawning over the MC is instead after the character that is obsessed with the MC making for awkward moments, that I'm sure are supposed to be funny, but feel like they miss the mark by a lot.

The show has a feeling somewhere between .hack//SIGN and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and the story overall seems like it may trend toward the latter. I felt like I was reading chapters of a good book while watching this show, with each episode leaving me wanting to watch more, but also satisfied with each viewing block.

Not Recommended

In short this anime is like where the supposed MC comes from another world and is killed by the one girl who decides to help and that one girl is the MC .

Then the FMC makes a yuri harem and kills Isekaied humans and pretends to be "pure", "just" and "Noble" which is pure bullsh** and she was just being a murderer who kills innocent people who is Isekaied from Japan . Just a pure garbage.



The story is very predictable.
The art style was very mid.
The characters were too rushed with absolutely zero development.
I can't believe anyone who is not a hardcore yuri addict ... can like this series
