Hidden gem of Funny, Silly, yet High quality production asf

This anime felt like those rare slice of life anime with unnecessary hard action scenes, animation, and musics genre. If you've watch thing like maid dragon anime before and like it, this is surely the one for you next. If you haven't tried this type of anime, I would suggest you give it a shot.

FULL REVIEW:
First of all, let me talk about the production quality. This anime got a VERY ... GOOD production. In all terms of animations, voice acting, sound design, and musics. This got high above the average bar. With it very vibrant visuals, and fun atmosphere. This anime production is perfect and even more for what it intends to be. [Animation, OST, voice acting 10/10]

Next is the comedy. This show comedy mostly lean on to the unsuspecting type. Which in my opinion is the best type of comedy, and depends on you if you like it or not. The characters could do some of the most obscene stuff, and even something that a slice of life or CGDCT genre wouldn't normally do. With also some of conventional comedy. The animation also play well into the comedy style, with goofy faces and over exaggerated motions. [Comedy 10/10]

Now for the rest of the stuff. The characters, its pretty ok. It's a slice of life comedy anime, and the character is pretty almost 1 dimensional, but it does it job [Character 7/10]. The world building is pretty interesting, and occasionally play into the comedy enriching it even more, so pretty well [World building 8.5 / 10].

The pacing is pretty good for a comedy, leaning toward the faster side, with around 4-5 scenario per episode. [Pacing 10/10]. Lastly the writing is also good and normal [writing 9/10]

In conclusion. Its a very fun, funny, cute, unsuspecting, unhinge sometime, and eye candy show. With pretty funny writing, scenarios, character, and world building, and very well done animations and sound directing. I would recomend if you want some fun chill anime that's still somewhat interesting to follow.

My rating as a comedy slice of life: 9.8/10
My rating as an overall anime: 8.57/10

Unexpectedly enjoyable, funny, and weirdly wholesome.

There's a complete disconnection between the main characters' nonchalant, cold-blooded killing and the CGDCT tropes, which makes the whole thing feel very silly and funny.

The characters are adorable and easy to get attached to, the animation is on point, complementing the tone perfectly, the direction feels clean and polished, and the fight scenes are way above average for its genre, some sequences feel like pure animation flexing, classic Shaft.
When a new character with a good chara-design shows up, you might expect them to become a recurring (main) character... but no, they'll probably die within a few minutes in a ... ridiculous way! The show even manages to condition you into not feeling bad for them, which adds to the silliness of the entire thing.

The plot is hit-or-miss if you're not into slice-of-life/CGDCT, but I can easily see someone new to the genre finding the comedy hilarious.
Overall, it feels like a breath of fresh air in the currentlty satured anime market.

This is NOT your typical CGDCT anime — not even close. So if you're coming here expecting endless "aww" moments and sugar-coated fluff, prepare to be sorely disappointed. You won't find much cutie-tootie sweetness here, unless your idea of adorable involves nihilistic and sociopathic banter.

Another thing worth mentioning: if you absolutely loathe seeing interesting characters get unceremoniously yeeted from the plot, or if you value your emotional stability even a little bit, you might want to give this one a hard pass. Consider yourself warned.

That being said, if you can push past the emotional carnage and are willing to embrace the chaos, there’s actually something ... oddly enjoyable lurking beneath it all.

Visually, it's your standard-issue moe art style — charming enough, but nothing groundbreaking. However, having read the source material, I can assure you the adaptation remains remarkably faithful. So if you’re a stickler for consistency, you’ll be pleasantly neutral.


Now, about the cast — you might have noticed words like "assassin" and "ninja" featured prominently in the title. That’s not just there to sound edgy or marketable. Those professions are absolutely *central* to understanding these characters and their world. Ignore that at your own peril, or you’ll be left wondering why things escalate so...efficiently.

Plot-wise, it's straightforward and easy to digest. Honestly, if you’ve read the title, congratulations: you already understand about 50% of the story. No complicated political intrigue here — just a simple premise executed with surprising ruthlessness.

As for the humor, after finishing an episode, it becomes painfully clear what vein they're tapping into: dark comedy that isn't so much "haha" as it is "oh no." Personally, I didn’t laugh even once. Whenever the "jokes" hit, my reaction was less "chuckle" and more "existential sigh." But hey, humor is subjective. If your idea of a good time is watching your empathy get repeatedly drop-kicked, you might just find it hilarious.


Overall, this anime feels like inviting a bunch of cute girls to your house for tea, only to realize halfway through that they’re here to rob you emotionally and leave without even cleaning up. It's not for the faint-hearted, the overly sentimental, or anyone who still believes "moe" always equals "safe and cozy." But if you’re willing to embrace a story where emotional attachments are liabilities and laughter comes pre-soaked in sadness, then congrats, you are the target audience.
