Cool but atleast give the protagonist some time to mourn like damn, that was dark and unexpected! It should've been more serious, this is death were talking about and it turned into a comedy, MOOD RUINED!!

Had this anime in my backlog for few year and I am already impressed by The first episode. If this anime can properly balance comedy with dark, I just might binge this.

No wasting time...Action started in the first episode only. Loosing friends in the first episode but it didn't pierce that hard.
I didn't get that attached to MC, kind of waiting to see what happens. The twist was good that the people who saved are the people who killed. Sudden appearance of night raid is what I felt not in sync in this episode...but overall it was good.

That was pretty impressive. The MC and his two friends had distinct characters so fast, even when the latter two are barely shown. The noble girl, her guards, and parents also had distinct characters. The episode also left me feeling so conflicted, at first feeling bad for the nobles were getting killed, siding with them, then the WTF twist reveal. I'm still a little dazed, I kind of wanted to see the MC and his two friends going on an adventure together, and I'm disappointed that won't happen now. So I guess we're going to tag along with a bunch of assassins now, and we'll be introduced to most of them in the next episode.

I regret ever feeling any pity for her. What a despicable person.

Had a feeling when she mentioned he would meet his friends soon something bad was gonna happen. They did setup the twist ending very well as we see, throughout the episode no one can really be trusted from the start with the initial lore. Funny how he basically is now with the person who initially swindled him, should be interesting to see if this was a mistake. Tone of the show has definitely been set up.

Güzeldi ama bütün karakterlerin ölmesi ilginç geldi keşke tatsumi fln ölmeseydi yine de beklenmedik güzel bir sondu ama yine de tatsuminin ölmesini istemezdim yazar sanıyorum ki en başştan beri baş karakter akame demeye çalışmış
