Productions better than expected and the character designs are quite nice but that's about it. Also, questioning planes and phones but has cameras installed in the palace. Ah yes, they must be magic cameras. |

I was really hoping to gloat that the episode title was actually the best thing that happened. But no, it was pretty solid! Not enough to really know if it’s got anything original, but definitely not slop. |

Gorgeous pictures. It's been a while since an anime was done old school style with hand drawn arts, most of them now in days are using those Computer copy and paste pre-defined anime arts libreary, or in worse case those really janky horribly animated 3D graphics that makes you want to puke. I like the manga, and I'm so glad they did such a good work with the Anime, it really brought it to life. |

As expected, the animation was terrible and completely ruined, a stark contrast to when I first read the manga.
I didn't really have high hopes for the film when I first saw the trailer, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. It was truly disappointing.

The episode felt rushed and the animation quality was bad. Dropping it after one episode. A shame because it was the only new anime that felt interesting this season. |

Akira might be a brooding loner who likes Isekai, but he's trope savvy enough to not trust any kingdom that summons an entire class to a new realm. Austin Tindle is doing great work as the MC. I wonder who placed that curse on Tsukasa. Shouldn't the people around him want the hero to succeed? A lot of shady things are clearly underfoot here. |

pretty good, there was a fair bit of populating and that cliff hanger was Hella forced, but I'm in. |

I am super surprised with how well Studio Sunrise has made this episode, great setup, expanded on stuff that wasn't shown in manga nor light novel. this was great, the visuals were beautiful and outstanding too along with the soundtrack, this is an easy story to digest with great visuals. this will be one of the better fantasy's this season |

A rather mid start. Covers a lot of isekai basics like his op stats, levelling, the kingdoms corruption level and his position within this class of students. Next episode will dictate what direction this goes in. Kinda lost the part where he stopped hiding his presence and became part of the groups training/team work. |

The animation is pretty good. The dub is trash though FYI. You would think your average Japanese student would recognize a summoning by now and evacuate the area if they didn't want to go. So the kingdom swept up a classroom as a job lot to sift through for a hero? Pretty asinine to just randomly assign classes too, what kind of half-assed system do we have running here? Naturally everyone is pretty calm in being abducted, oops I mean "summoned" to fight in some war. The king seems pretty shady but Saran isn't on the same page which is an interesting twist. I guess I'll see where this is going for now. |

hmmm why do I have a feeling the "silent assassin"'s target is that other assassin lol .... ooooor maybe not..... ok now we're before the reincarnation... I wonder if that first scene is what we're going to be leading up to all season... the world is named Morrigan... knowing what I do now about the lore of a certain person named that, I have a bad feeling about this, though it could still be entirely unrelated..... oh man, the dub doesn't have the on-screen translations yet.... I hate it when that happens... hidden cameras..... I agree with our MC... they're DEFINITELY hiding something... hmmm not sure if I trust this captain yet... though I think he's lowered my guard a tad when he said not to tell the king what he had just said... HE WROTE A BOOK ON HOW TO STAGE A COOP OMGGGG I THINK I LIKE THIS CAPTAIN MORE NOW! I have a feeling that minotaur was actually in that smoke bomb.... either that or it really was on a floor it shouldn't have been... either way, this doesn't bode well... AHHHHHHHHHH WHY DID IT HAVE TO END ON A CLIFFHANGER DAMN IT UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH |
Sometimes you just need to scream into the void. That said, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLEASE GIVE ME FANTASY ANIME RECS!!! I'M PRETTY MUCH OUT ON CRUNCHYROLL AND I'M BORED!!! Streaming services I have: Crunchyroll (this is the main one I use for anime and I've pretty much exhausted my options there), Netflix, Disney+ (including Hulu), Peacock, Paramount+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime |

Ah, yes, I won't trust anyone and keep a low profile - but this random guy I don't know anything about I will trust for no apparent reason!
@UtakaSenpai THIS!!!!!!! that shit bothered me, and that knight was very suspicious as well, tho I am suspecting some kind of passive ability from that knight that is affecting him coz revealing the levels of your skills is super dumb |

Pretty good start to this series. Looks like a look of shady stuff going on behind the scenes but thankfully Akira already found a seemingly good ally in Seran to help him out. |

7.44?😂😂 man I just can't wait to see how people will react by the end of the series. I more or less expect it to drop it maybe 6.5 or 6.6. before someone starts bitching, my reason for saying so is because it starts of decent but falls off hard into another cliched and very generic story. the light novel and web novel are also terrible but hey, watch it and find out. I'm still gonna watch because garbage isekais tend to be my guilty pleasure 😂 |

The blending of 2D and 3D in the first minute was a bit all over the place in terms of quality - like the overpanning, for no reason, to a oddly skewed, almost flat, domed building before correcting back to the tower the Silent Assassin was on, along with said tower spinning in the background as the unnamed assassin was running in the foreground. I thought I accidentally picked up another GoHands show for a second. |

The opening sequence looked very high budget. Caught me off guard I'm not trusting this flagrantly pretty knight guy. And obviously not trusting the royal family Ok first episode |

The entire class got isekaied and ALL of them were on board within 2 minutes? That's the only weird part, other than that it was good. |

Dust_Eyezz said: So the main character spends all this time hiding... then a random guy shows up and he completely trusts him, then he stops hiding and joins the dungeon. No tumult over it, nothing ever mentioned, just like that? This is brain dead level. I liked the art though. Title should be "I speedran an isekai story as an assassin" and be labeled as parody. So to recap Hush hush don't show random guy appears, we show ourselves to random guy then we show ourselves to the entire class and fight in the dungeon, nobody cares like wtf is this yup. this is EXACTLY what I came to comment. how can you so completely change the characterization you just started building for the character. just a complete switch up. Unless someone says it was a technique someone used on him before he noticed, it's forever going to be absurd. Also, are they setting up something between those two? Because "I see through you hiding yourself " turning into "then I won't hide anything about myself from you" doesn't feel like a good way to set that up, either. |

Reply to Hirugiku
felt like I just watched 2 episodes not 1, that's how rushed it feels.
@Hirugiku Fr, it has some redeeming qualities compared to the "usual" isekai. But this pacing is horrendous, like what the heck are we even watching? A recap? |
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life. |

lmao why this captain always have his finger pointed on up ,
@UwUKingPikachu Because hes Aerith the male knight captain. Look, honestly, this show's trash. not good trash but cringe bad trash that takes tropes and cliches and syncs it all up for its "ain't you so special" MC that somehow is just "different" and "better" than anyone else. At least the other trash isekai's don't take themselves so seriously. Dropped. |

That was utterly generic to the point of even rushing through all the usual stuff of "how they even got there" at incredible pace. Not sure where the praise and hype came from. I guess next episodes will be more interesting? |

@Kurtadam13 Spectacular detail! Thanks for sharing your find!
@Passive00 from the incantation we learn "plenty of souls were sacrificed, these souls were among the purest and most innocent, it's because of these very souls the "heroes" actually got their powers and gifts, and supposedly the souls were given up willingly, which means most likely they were forced into the contracts by the kingdom itself, making the stranger's claim to the main character (you don't know how many were sacrificed for you) carry even more weight!" |

@phantomfandom biased on the first scene he dose kill those who attempt to kill him but as least hesitates to kill defenceless people.
@MonkeyMe333 if you watched the 1st season of "hunterxhunter" you'd know .. in a scene where everyone were facing Hisoka the clown murderer, one of the characters quotes: "since every single killer is first and foremost a human being, you hesitate from killing for a split second, and in that split second, the potential victim can escape the potential murder" it's only the murder hobos who completely gave up upon their being, are the ones to kill without hesitation. ... unless the "dub" i watched changed the actual meaning.. after all hunterxhunter was never for kids to begin with it. as an assassin "hesitating to kill" automatically fails the mission and outs your own life in danger, your job is to kill, point given and taken. period! |

WOW I already got hooked in the first 2 minute intro, the dark gritty visuals, the epic boss soundtrack, the thunderstorm setting, the MC's menacing aura, it's so fucking edgy and I LOVE IT. Out of all the fantasy/isekai airing rn this definitely has the best premiere and maybe even the best production quality! The isekai part is nothing new of course, but everything else after that is so unique and intriguing. For once the MC is actually very observant and cunning from the get go, has his own moral code, and actually wants to go home. Then the politics are so intriguing too, seems like the 'slay the demon king' is only a ruse, the nobles are very corrupt, there's mention of 'sacrifices', even the knights are planning a coup. I wish we got a 2 episode premiere to understand more about the situation, but as it is now, the setup is very intriguing and I'm so locked in! |

@UtakaSenpai Well the random guy noticed him so his kokoro was happy.. :') He did say he was the first person to ever notice him so.. who cares about morals lol.. //then again did he totally forget and ignore his classmate who noticed him in class and actually tried talking to him? yeah. In all honesty it felt really suspicious to me as well. But the whole ep was so rushed that I can't even tell if they are the good guys or not, for now, seems so. I mean the princess's eyes were pure evil looking .. we have nothing else to go for here |

Ok so in this episode, my smooth brain saw: - OP and cool assassin MC, that kinda sounds like Batman at times - Animation and sound design which was of really high quality - Sweet action scenes with cool spells and sword play - Interesting plot developing around why they were summoned (...yay Isekai....) - A bromance forming :} So basically, I'm really interested in this anime and cannot wait to see more :} |

Really nice first episode! It kinda felt a bit rushed like the whole summoning and mini training arc but so far the visuals are decent and the mc isn't a douche bag. I will say that good looking commander doesn't sit well with me, I feel like he is hiding something very obvious and is just trying to have a good relationship wiht the mc only to betray him later on. The whole interactions with him were very conviniently placed. Regardless good episode and I can't wait for the rest! |

dammm! even with the isekai elements, this 1st ep gave me Record of Lodoss War vibes! :D this was some really great work! :D i did notice one bad spot though, the first fight in the dungeon wasn't detailed, choreographed, or animated fully. the team took too many shortcuts in that fight. what i don't get about the story so far is this... Why is there ONLY ONE Doubting Thomas in that whole gaggle of HS kids? or is our MC such a loner that he isn't interacting 'now' enough with his classmates for us as the viewers to learn more about the kids? a small homage to Fullmetal Alchemist with 'the thing' being hidden inside the cypher of a cookbook. ;> |
