----------------------------------------
This is some hilarious shit. We got an organization of goofballs and their goals although seemingly serious is actually much more lighthearted and played like a joke.

Main selling point of the anime so far imo is between Alice and Sentouin. The comedy definitely comes from the Konosuba author along with some gimmicks. Snow is also hilarious to watch for her personality. A very goofy but amusing start.

Coming from the same author as KonoSuba, I'd say that this is a much better effort than Kemono Michi.

An organization hell bent on world domination, yet the goofy hilarious feel is prevalent on its characters (with scientist Lilith bearing similarities to Megumin). Agent No. 6 Sentouin is like a less refined Kazuma but whatever, Alice is a more disciplined and smart Aqua. But Princess Snow...I'd not be surprised if she is another Darkness.

LOLS is that an ancient Mac startup sound I hear? And the hilarious passsword of "D*ck Festival", Sentouin sure sounds like Kazuma's predecessor, what a CHAD.

Gonna have a lot of fun in this show being KonoSuba 2.0.

EX-PLOOOO-SION!

According to livechart, animelab. Which most likely means funimation for those outside Australia, but I cannot confirm as crunchyroll has Konosuba outside Australia while Animelab has it here.

Had the same feeling. Feels like a bad ripoff of Konosuba, this is even worse as the author is the same. Did he run out of ideas?

Putting aside how this wasn't that funny at all, I like the concept and characters. Specially the android loli, Alice. She's a really amusing one. Snow and the princess seemed like they'll be quite amusing too. Thou as for combat agent six, he feels like sort of a copy paste of Kazuma but that ain't a bad thing at all.

Decent start, looking forward to upcoming episodes.

He made this before Konosuba, so if anything, Konosuba "ripped off" this.

Combatants is one of his earliest works, but never got adapted until now.

It was meh

In the 1st Konosuba episode, the studio took much more time (like a whole episode) between the MC and Aqua. It did that for the other parters later on.

This anime first episode is a huge convoluted mess. This is almost a warp speed character introduction.

If there was a joke, it was lost due to not caring to proper make the set-up for the joke. At these speeds, it was predictable it would fall flat.

I will give 3 eps for this one

I can't tell if I really really like this, or just finding it alright and amusing. Like it's enjoyable for sure, and today's ep was a blast. But depending how next lot of eps go, will be foretelling. But still, good enough start.

Feel the same way you do. Very messy start to proceedings, made it hard for the comedy to shine through.

they got kazuma, a character that is somehow interested in him, basicly mgumin (the anderoid girl), and aqua (the first character they meet who is also obsesed with money and exploiting the main character). This is perfect

Looking at it, there seem to be two groups of people at the moment. Some who loved it and some who didn't find it funny at all. Honestly, I lean towards the second group. I don't want to judge it based on only the first episode, but so far it's quite bad.

The delivery of the jokes is very crude, the same old tropes are used and somehow even emphasised more than usual. The penis password might have been the unfunniest bit I've seen in a while. Only horny high schoolers who find common phrases like "oral examination" hilarious would find it funny.

On an unrelated note, I don't really like the voice of the MC, though that is strictly a personal preference and far from an objective remark.

That being said, it was only the first episode (I've seen far worse) and I hope things get better from here on out.

Pretty decent start. Early in the game and we already have a harem, that was quick. Comedy was hit or miss but I'm sure it'll get better. As this was made by the same author as Konosuba, it's promising.
