| Okay I'm a bit disappointed, now I'm not a manga reader so I watch this show with high expectation but I was letdown that this not the kinda show I thought it's gonna be. I thought it's gonna be a proper serious spy anime but there is so many jokes it's hard for me to take it seriously Visually it looks good but the story and the character(just Loid okay, Anya is cute) are not attractive to me....sigh what a shame 6/10 |

I don't know about the pacing but to me the jokes are not funny and it's excessive. I wish they don't focus too much on the comedy, just focus on the story and character development. There were a lot so I kinda forgot why did he need to get fake family for again ?? Like what was his mission ? |

I think we found our anime of the season. The set up has a lot of potential. I had a good laugh over a few jokes and Anya is very cute. I hope the 'mom' fits in well in this lovely mess.  |
RayReynolds said: n another season, or maybe even had this come earlier in this season, I feel like the nonstop monologuing would have annoyed me more. Yeah, it's going for a noir kind of feel, but it's just nonstop through the entire episode. Practically twenty minutes straight of a deep voiced drawl, only occasionally interrupted by the child, who is usually accompanied by carnival music. I think the real problem with the endless internal monologue is that it's not really witty nor all that informative, mostly just plainly announcing every detail of what is happening. Again, yes, that is something that is part and parcel to noir, but it's not unusual for anime in general and this leans much more towards standard anime than into the noir side, especially when it's pulling crap like extended flashbacks out of nowhere. Yeah I don't like the monologuing, it's annoying and it doesnt feel witty at all. If they dial it down maybe it could be better |

It was mainly a comedy Manga and although there's a story and nice character development, it's mostly comedy. now I think that maybe knowing Japanese helps getting the jokes smh because reading through the subs takes the fun out of it? But the 1st chapter wasn't that much funny in the Manga too. So maybe it will get better? idk.. |

Surely Anya wants the real thing, but Loid would never buy her a real one -_- (of course they would never even find a place that sells them to begin with!), why wasn't this obvious for many? I dunno... lmfao what? he can easily find silencer pistols. he has the backing of a government after all. He even finds a castle to rent after all. |

LinkedHorizon007 said: So? I was talking about Anya. Loid can get one for HIMSELF without problem. When he told Anya "I'll buy you one if we find it on sale" he obviously meant a toy gun.Sigmar-Unberogen said: I've watched dozens of Youtubers react to episode 1 and most of them were like "wtf, Loid said he would buy a silencer-pistol for the kid???" - Looks like many don't know that pistol-toys exist lol.

Not like I can blame you either way since it's your opinion after all but you could've seen it beforehand that it's not really action-oriented and spy focus theme much. |

No I did not watch the promotional trailer, I just kinda went there assuming that it's action spy anime because there were so many hype around it, so I guess I was misled lol |

| Perfect start. I've been reading manga since its launch and I can't wait to watch the full adaptation. So far it's so wholesome and greatly animated, it's everything I've ever asked for. Probably going to be my favourite of the season. |
| Anya is such a cinnamon roll! She's adorable!! I love the way she speaks too. Can't wait for the mother to get introduced and we get the full family together. |

I remember being disappointed with the 1st episode of Dr.stone expecting it to be sad and serious show, but saw how it took lighthearted approach to the apocalypse, with some good comedy. Eventually it became one of my fav.series/manga after I realized I needed to look at it from a different angle. |
| I can already tell that this will be one of my favorite anime of 2022. |
 |
| Great first episode, Anya was so funny xD. Fantastic anime weekends. |

| Well, its pretty decent. And Anya will be my favorite character here, she's so kawaii. Looks great for the first episode. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
DBX said: Man. What a way to start things off. Absolutely amazing. THis whole season has been a dumpster fire. So glad at least one show looks good. |
| First episode was very funny. I was wondering why this show has such a high rating, and now I know. The punchline at the end made a chuckle. Looking forward to ep 2. |

| OMG! i admit, i hate to say this but this show is too GOOOOOD!!!! 5/5! |
 |
| It's great! The quality of anime, songs, and Seiyuu are perfect. I'm looking forward to watching the next episode!! |

LambdaMan93 said: I knew nothing about this going in to it, and this is a masterpiece. Highly efficient writing, so much happens in the first episode. A hallmark of something legendary. If the entire series is like this, easy 10/10 for me. I smiled, I laughed, it is masterful. Glad you enjoy it <3 it so good. |
| Great first episode! Can already tell this adaptation is gonna be high quality. |
| I felt strong "Pink Panther" vibes while listening to the jingles in the episode. Twilight is a gentleman and also a kind person in heart who wants the best for civilians and, yeah, he's a big fibber but such a cool one. Anya is absolutely hilarious and childish in a good way; her facial expressions are a pile of gold too. It'll be a pleasure to continue watching this show. |
 |
| The premier episode for a premier manga and it's looking like a premier adaptation. After reading the manga a long while ago, seeing this episode is such a refresher, they did this manga well. I am falling for Anya's cuteness, they nailed her character that's for sure. And nothing really much to say, aside from the terribly high MAL score, the episode is pretty good, a start for a very wonderful ride. |
 |
| this show has tremendous potential. the first episode was great, I hope that the hype is maintained in the future. |
| This episode was awesome! What dragged my attention about the whole series was both its leading themes (spies and childcare), but also the fact that this anime's rating was really high. It motivated me to not only check it out, but do it as fast as I could. My knowledge about the source material was really vague. I knew that such manga existed and that it was very popular, with many copies sold in total, but nothing more than that. Anyway, bravo Wit Studio! If the rest of episodes will represent similar quality, then I think we will have a show with rather stable score of 9.00+/10.00 :) |

| Anya and Loid are so darn adorable. He’s going to be such a great dad like he’s already taking care of Anya but their bond it’s going to grow stronger and stronger from now on. |

| 3.1% rating on TV Tokyo not too bad. |
