| tbh I don't like the cgi it's terrible ..but im here for ecchi and plot anyway whatever |
| So the subs changed "it's time to submit" to "it's time to bow down".... The anime also didn't start by giving a explanation about how the gender roles have been reversed, and they changed some things like adding that girl and the boy being part of the Mato mishap, when they were never on the manga. It also showed the other girls way earlier than in the manga, since there they only were introduced after Yuuki and Kyouka got the HQ, and so they have no idea how powerful Yuuki actually is. The ecchi should come next episode tho. |

| A decent blend of 3D and 2D animations, standard cast of characters, and arousing unusual circumstances. certainly looking forward to what depth if any will this series go. The reward scene is just immaculate.  |
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS, KNEEL DOWN BEFORE THE QUEENS AND ACCEPT YOUR FATE!!!! Was a little rough around the start but goddamn it's so FINE where it matters. Good ed as well. |

| Not the biggest fan of the cgi but I'm here mostly for the rewards and the kissing scene was good, in terms of ecchi it was tame but next episode will probably have more, if I remember the chapters correctly.Tenka got a lot of focus in the ed, not surprised haha. |

| Ah yes, one of the anime I was looking forward to the most this season. Oooh, the OP right away 醜鬼 (shuuki) - "ugly demon" I can only hear Horikita in Kyouka lol. Love her voice regardless. I'm really liking the soundtrack! The ED is good! I wonder who the short-haired girl is, she didn't appear this episode. Awesome first episode. I don't mind the CGI at all, I think it looks good. Both the action and fanservice moments were awesome. Gonna get a lot of nosebleeds while watching this one lol. And people are saying that the actually ecchi will be from the next episode. Hmmmm looking forward to that. |

| In a comparison with Mushoku Tensei (the only ecchi-categorized anime I watched), how heavy is the ecchi here compared to MT? Honestly, I could just avoid watching another ecchi, but idk I ended up being interested in this. |

| @dazedcowcow62 not sure but with what I gather from source readers it's comparable to high school DxD or maybe even beyond. |
| not a bad start but that cgi... hopefully there's gonna be much more ecchi scenes in the future to keep my eyes distracted from this horrible cgi also, find 10 differences   |
| Everything other than the reward looked ugly and even then the reward was only decent, they had that big tongue shot but the bright lighting around it was awful. Big fan of the OP song though. |
| The dude's transformation into a slave looked way cooler than it had any right to be (don't take that out of context) Can't help but feel Date a Live vibes from this, which isn't a bad thing. Probs gonna be the guilty pleasure show of the season lmao |
| Hhm mixed feelings, have read the manga up to date and it is one of my favourites, the show does seem to be sticking to the manga but I don't know it feels a little "Budget" will see how it does as time goes on. Will be interested to see how much they cut out and what they keep. Really wish they would stop using CG or learn to do it well, I know its a cost thing and all so i get it. Either way enjoyed it enough so first episode is a 7 for me. |

| @Inexplicable I don’t get the complaints about CGI usually but holy shit it was hard to witness. Mainly for Yuuki though the other scenes were good enough |

| Takahiro, you genius son of a bitch, you have caught my attention once again lol Him making this series THIS ecchi is a godsend because lord knows that I and many others wanted that for Akame ga Kill at some point during its serialization lol |

| @dazedcowcow62 Mushoku tensei isn't even THAT ecchi... its like a 4/10 ecchi wise this is AT LEAST an 8-8.5/10 |
|
| Akame ga Kill meets Goddess Dormitory meets... something. Femdom's not my thing, but I'll support Esdeath in her quest to exterminate the shitty CGI demons. Let's go! |

| It's okay-ish at best, doesn't really translate good into screen. Will wait to see how the rest of the heroines look and probably will drop it and stick to manga. |
| Big day for people who like being dominated (me) |

| It was the perfect first episode. Kyoka Uzen was badass, and Yuuki's slave transformation was great. The reward that Yuuki received from Uzen was spicy and only the beginning. I can't wait for the other, more lewd rewards and seeing them animated. THIS WILL BE PEAAK FICTION!  |
 |
| Yuuki Wakura has got himself a girlfriend already, Oh my. |
 |
| CGI and overall animation look subpar, but it doesn't matter because I'm here for the "plot". |
 |
| So much for "PeAk FiCtIoN" The only thing that was peak here was the amount of low-budget CGI they put in and they certainly didn't disappoint on that part! Everything else however was below garbage. Lmao I'm already dropping it and they probably toned down or cut half of the manga's spiciness |
| I thought this first episode was decent but besides the kiss there was hardly any ecchi. At least there were some amusing moments such as Yuuki's transformation, and after reading some comments the ecchi should get better. |

| I didn't expect to like this at all, but that first episode wasn't bad. I enjoyed it actually. However, I'm sure once the ecchi really takes off my enjoyment will wane. For now though, I shall continue watching. I thought the VA for Uzen was fantastic. The female character designs were really nice, as well. I don't really care for the main guy, but his slave form was pretty cool. |
 |
| I want to be Kyouka Uzens slave if I get those daily rewards! Did she call yuuki a pervert or was she talking about herself because she wanted more of that mouth 😏 |

| @MadanielFL yea man, i dont understand why they changed those things, why they couldnt keep adaptations faithful idfk i still LOVE it but im not gonna pretend like im not kinda scared at what else they might remove/change wtf was the point of adding the 2 kids that needed saving lol? just to bring in the other girls extra early? are they TRYING to rush things? |

| For a show that has a very kinky premise, I really liked it. I was definitely feeling the Akame Ga Kill vibes when Yuuki transformed into a demon with Kyouka's Eternal Chains: Slave ability. It was really badass. That kissing scene was very erotic, if that's Kyouka's definition of a reward then sign me up to be her slave. However, the one thing that is holding this series back is the CGI of the demons which could have been polished a little bit more to make smoother against 2D backgrounds so that they don't stick out as an eyesore. I like the ED, so I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode. This anime has the potential to be a hit, hopefully it will get a second season. |
 |
| this anime hit me in many places it is very interesting i will be watching it the slave thing is hella unique also the animation is as clean as zom bucket 100 so a must watch for over 14 says it is a harem so next episode we will see harem |
 |
| This will definitely be a "turn your brain off and just enjoy" type of anime lol. Knowing the type of show this is though, I'm not coming into it expecting a deep story, thought-provoking themes, and nuanced character writing; as long as I'm entertained and get to see some tits, this will pass as decent for me lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Porn addicts and gooners eating so good this season 🙏🏾 Been looking forward to this adaptation to really get the story here. I read the manga, but basically only for the erotica so I actually don’t remember too many of the big plot points. First episode does a good job of setting up the crazy world the MC has got himself into, but the biggest thing holding it back right now is the production values. The character designs themselves are ok, but the CGI from the very first opening shot was horrible. Yuuki’s fight also looked like a viewtiful Joe cutscene from the GameCube. The biggest thing is making sure the CGI doesn’t stick out too much against the 2D background and a lot of studios struggle with that.. There’s a lot of action in this story so hopefully it isn’t as bad going forward, but I’m prepared for the worst. Regular animation was okish, lot of speed lines, but it is what it is. We all know what we’re for, the PLOT. Not much of it today, steamy kiss between the commander and the MC to set the tone for the “rewards”. hot. But I’m looking forward to levels of crazy it’ll reach later on. Solid first episode |

Pretty grim world to walk into. Yuuki has some skill at housekeeping for sure. I don't think staying put in Mato is sane advice considering its occupants. Still the reward for becoming her slave sure was a pretty cool one. Kyouka and Yuuki really had the best combo of lethality and speed. A fitting award for all that hard work i think. Funny thing that whether in combat or at the dorm that Yukki ended up being a slave for both. Though being a caretaker for four cute girls should be a fun one. I can think of worst jobs in this world. Taking orders from a 11 year old girl though lol. Overall a solid opening ep that featured a fine balance of action and lore expansion. The slave angle might raise some eyebrows but in this case i think its quite appropiate given the premise. |
