| Okay, so, first, hire the hell out of whoever was in charge of the OP and give them an entire show, because they definitely weren't in charge of the rest of the episode. That's how you use colors, reflections, and music. This was very much the tale of two segments. The first third of the episode was actually pretty fun. I've lamented the lack of badass girls with guns in recent shows, and that bit delivered. A pair of cheerful girls infiltrating a rich people party selling girls to rapists as they cackle madly, whipping out shotguns, pistols, and spears, and merrily going to absolute town on them. A perfectly good way to establish them, their bona fides, and their willingness to put a knife in a rapist's forehead with a smile and a panty flash. And then at about eight minutes, we have to slam the rewind button to do the morose protagonist's godawful, excessively long, and particularly stupid origin story. If you wanted to listen to almost ten straight minutes of a dude rambling about how serious being an assassin is, then boy, do I have a drinking game for you. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the budget didn't also fall like a goddamned rock. It's such a whiplash to go from energetic fanservice friendly mayhem to a stone-faced bore rambling for almost fifteen minutes straight just to get to "and then he was reincarnated into Charlie's Angels." Why did we need any of this at all? Why couldn't we have just picked things up from the badass girls with guns and run with that? I assure you, I could follow the relevant plot and character points from just the introduction. We are clearly not a deep or thought provoking show. |
| For a seemingly generic isekai (written by the lord of isekai himself), it actually wasn't that bad. I wasn't expecting violence and depravity from the get-go but here we are. I'm just glad it didn't end with even more degeneracy. Also, the OP is a banger so this might actually be worth watching. |
 |
| Lol this is better than I thought, the 1st scene with magic etc was quite confusing for how the tone changed to something realistic and serious but now I understand, the concept sounds really interesting, the previous best assassin will need to kill the hero in a isekai world it can be great |
 |
| I had incredibly low expectations going in given the title and the author (Redo was fun as a guilty pleasure but no way in hell it was a good show). I left pretty surprised by the first episode. The story seems different and I really like the MC. He's a nice departure from the sad sacks of potatoes normally in these isekai shows. The production seems pretty good as well. Really looking forward to the next episode now. |
| The first episode is fire and the girls are hot. |
 |
| Holy shit, that OP fucking slaps. I loved the directing as well as the music itself in that OP. Ok, that "Ahem' fucking got me, that was hilarious lmao. That was honestly a really good start, I liked the transition to the backstory with that sniper shot. Old man Lugh is badass and we also get some badass gun wielding girls. I am sold. Really looking forward for more of this. |
 |
I love torturing myself with Isekai rubbish every season. But last season just left so much wounds for me that I need a little bit of detour. So..... |

| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| pretty good for eps 1 !! keep it up !! |
| Loved the first episode, i think this anime will be one of my favs totally <3 |
| wasn't expecting that fire OP.. |
 |
| Hmmm... It was ok for me, but I am sure the first episode will be my fav one since I really liked the MC during his old days in a modern world setting. If it turns out to be another fantasy magic isekai with a cutie tsundere-himedere megami-sama well... nope. Bonus for the fact the MC didn't meet intimitaly Truck-kun to be sent in another world. Airplane-san is new and refreshing. Also for girls with ED these first minutes was hell... gosh these BMI made me so uncomfortable in my body.  |

11_BlueSky said: r_justo said: just drop then if it's not like gomblin slayer lol. I will be kinda honest here... I don't feel that much attach to this anime as I was expecting... I think the first ep doesn't correspond to the feelings that I wanted vs the ones I got from it. I was hoping for a more Goblin Slayer approach: tough guy, with unique assassination methods, in a demand for something that he wanted. The feelings that I got was (at first) another isekai full of magic (not a bad thing, ok. I just was expecting something different), then an old guy, master of his job, with a rookie, preparing for their next step in life (that it was obvious that it will never come because "isekai" -.-), then the guy was betrayed for no reason, the rookie's gone (just because that's a jobber's job), and the Isekai part begins. The feeling that I ended up was "REVENGE!!!" "I want the whole organization to PERISH!! AT MY/HIS HANDS!!", and instead of that, the dam goddess give him the lamest job ever (kill a f+cking hero), making it obvious that the "revenge" feeling that I was forced to feel will never be fulfilled! Disapointed! This 1st ep was very disappointing! Even more, after I read some comments, and find that the only character that I cared about/feel related to, was not even in the manga (the rookie). Dumb 1st ep... Hopefully, they will make the second one MUCH better! I will really hate to drop this! Especially with one of the subjects that I most like, Assassins! r_justo said: just drop it then if it's not like goblin slayertype of anime simple as that lol😂I will be kinda honest here...

A guy cannot have an honest opinion about something?? There always a dumb comment about a redundant subject that was even stated at the original opinion... Tha f*ck!! |
| For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations. |
| I wasn't expecting that i would like this. Im suprised. One huge plus for me is that it seems the MC wont be a pussy ass beta bitch like in every other isekai. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| What a well done opening visuals...story seems OKAY for what it is. Hope at least the thinking voice in the MC's head is voiced by the seiyuu of the old guy. Please? At least the haremettes are not useless damsels or rude tsunderes. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| This was so much better than I expected, this episode was filled with action and so far this anime seems promising. Really hope the next few episodes aren't a let down. |
| I wonder what happened to the rookie girl? Probably she will be reincarnated to be his assistant/harem member or a hero that goddess was talking who will still became his harem member. kriissyy12 said: I really don't see the point in making the characters like 13-14 when the MC has a mental age of about 60. Like I don't really care about the age thing in Anime, but in this Anime it really feels unnecessary. I understand you but actually it is necessary, it's about reliving own live again. When MC said that he spent his entire life in organization etc etc it was obvious he will be reincarnated to have possibility to live his new life to the fullest. it is quite overused cliche but it still necessary to this story. |

Fluxje said: Not sure what kind of girls the original author has met in his life, but 145 cm AND 38 KG?!?!! Defitinely not perfect health. Because those numbers are from japanese "standards". 145.4cm - 38.8kg from website below Of course withers, animators etc. aren't taking into account boobs weight so those girls should be heavier. @AndreCraft_012 No worries fam, science already covered this. ;) https://nbakki.hatenablog.com/entry/Girls_Average_Height_and_Weight_by_Age_in_Japan |

| Hmm seems a nice one. Giving the Grisaia vibes. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| damm this look intresting |
| Is that goddess high on something or she does't know how to speak properly? |
| Great Sakuga right there... I like the Animation already... Old Man Assassin got reincarnated, alright.. Now i wonder how much "Cultured" it could be since it was done by the same author as Redo of Healer. |
 |
| Ah, an assassin anime with a plot 'twist' called an isekai. I seriously never heard, watch, or read about that kind of combination. So i guess its just fine, for the sake of a freedom. The show already started out with such a disturbing matter. Then, its continued with a great loli's combine with lots of their interesting action. I can't believe the animation was so smooth back there, or my eyes already bad enough to not understand the quality. Then, for the next, i got all the beginning of the story. Assassin get assassinated. Ironic plot twist i've ever seen. Though, i feel bad with those woman role, just like that. I thought i may see some good moments before its end with such an ironic way. That Goddess also interesting, with all of those high personality she showed to me, and also with the fact of her being a pretty obsessed to kill the hero. So, its kinda be a critical point to decide me to continue, no matter how hard this author, find a way, to make such a different isekai plotting, from the others. With all the efforts, i can't help but props for it. Sasuga from the same person whose created such a masterpiece called Redo whatever. So, hopefully this can stay as masterpiece as, you know what.... |

| the first scene, "13 years old" my reaction, "i'm sorry, what...?" i dont think this is a spoiler but lets just say SPOILERS anyways lol maybe i'm remembering this from the wrong novel but i dont remember him dying like this, it was supposed to be during mid mission when he sacrifices himself to save his pupils, no? |
| Why do I believe the story would be way better if he'd survive the plane attack and then went on hunting the culprits instead of being some harem isekai. That damn ecchines is going to ruin this. That's my take on this. The Goddess "waah" was out of this world. Like wtf was that. |

| The words, "If you are a professional, don't trust people," stayed with me. All the girls in the story are cute, and the OP is cool.I'm looking forward to seeing the reincarnated world in the next episode. I'm curious to see how popular a work with an uncle as the main character will be. |
My Candies: |
| Nice start, but I'd really prefer if MC stayed old guy. He looked so much cooler in is old life. Also, seeing "13 years old" with camera on her boobs made me a bit confused. |
JustAnotherShiroOct 10, 2021 7:00 AM
you are remembering the wrong novel. ah okay, thanks lol |
| Ok now that was an interesting episode. That end was good too. So he has to kill the hero. I hope he goes through with that. It sounds interesting. But from the looks of the OP the goddess seems to be the target. Its such a shame that the series won't follow the MC as an old man. That would be so much more interesting cause we rarely get older characters as MCs. I really like his older self and voice. Haven't heard that voice actor before. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Isekai trying too hard to be cool. |
| That was an awesome first episode. I didn’t have high hopes for this, mainly picked it because it’s Silver Link and the plot did sound interesting, but I was pretty blown away. Can’t go wrong with guns and waifus in an Isekai world, with a badass MC to boot, I think I’m really gonna like this one going forward. OP and ED were also great, and interesting to hear it’s by the same guy that wrote Redo of a Healer. |
| The first episode was just plain bad. The Assassin world where the Mc lived wasn't even established properly enough to make me care for him. Felt like I was watching at the middle of an episode. The Mc's personality also feels contradicting as hell. He literally said to that girl "Don't trust anyone" when he literally said "Why did the Organization betrayed me?" Meaning, deep down he trusted them. Also, the way the Goddess moans not only is extremely cringey but also unnecessary. Just goes to show which type of audience this is pandering to. |

| Holy shit its good, I like how the vibes are similar to Misfit of demon king academy and they starting with the action already. The protagonist is a total badass ngl |
| i more or less liked everything in this episode, both the girl part and the assassin part but... destroying a whole plane felt a little too much, come on lmao |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Very confused about it , i don't know if i like it or not. But this ''Beyonce'' opening song, lol, very good. |
