Pretty flashy first episode, thought I understood where the plot was going with the characters and such but the twist was pretty good. It got me by surprised and made me feel more invested and interested in the main characters.

The animation is gorgeous!!!! I wish I had not fallen for the reviews before and just watched it straight on. I like the story so far. Naive or not, a man that loves his wife, beautiful animation and a simple story? I´m in.
I am out with lanterns looking for myself.

Really good to start an anime. Giving a bit of a backstory, while also having some action.

Primeiro ep. entregou legal, conseguiu introduzir melhor que no manga.
A animação tá insana também, as cores do ninjutsu do Gabimaru lembram as artes das capas do manga - 10/10.

Bit of a weird scar design choice for the wife of the protagonist.

Loved it!
What an incredible first episode. Masterful in so many ways.

And one of my fav songs as ending? Wow.

With the amount of subhuman soulless anime being released in recent years, celebrated by an audience with kindred qualities, it's easy to assume the industry has been deprived of real human beings at this point. But thank God there are still good anime being made, by real human beings with heart and soul.

Really interesting prologue for what's coming, so I believe it's gonna be a battle royale on that island for who will get the elixir first, and they probably all have motivations similar as MC with his wife

Boy, that opening slaps so hard.

His body is something else though lmao. None of the execution methods worked on him.

Ngl I pretty much fell for it and misinterpreted Gabimaru to be the cliche loner protagonist with badass abilities. On the contrary, he's a loving and thoughtful husband who isn't as 'hollow' as he's thought to be.

Gabimaru's wife is so loving. That's just goals fr.

Sagiri is a skilled assassin and has a reputed clan/lineage. I wonder what she was doing differently to be able to cut Gabimaru. Is it the blade, some sort of power, or just a different technique?

I really wanna know about the power system and how his body is like that. Or how he's using ninjutsu.

Anyway, his goal seems to be pretty wholesome as of now. Excited for the next episode. I'll start the manga after this season is finished.

ED was nice.

Story is an excuse to bring a strong and badass character to perforrm strong and badass stuff on camara because he wants to live a normal life with his wife and quit killing people. MC lacks real characterization, he just likes the girl and that's he's whole motivation to do anything and everything. Also, his desing clashes a little bit with the time period, he looks to hot, but that's kinda nitpicking. If the show keeps it's badass style, imo it can strive to be mediocre or decent at best.

Thought the animation was up to the par, the voice acting was fine, the story is progressing good especially the back-story was well-potrayed. BUT I really feel as though this "hero goes rogue to reclaim his sweetheart" plot is cliche. Though still a good plot, it should really be shown differently if it wants to stand out to not be cliche. Apart from the strong essence of cliche, it was good!

The true rating of this subsidized shonen is a low to mid 7 no where near 8. It’s quite coherent people are only rating it high for two reasons, they’re either just overtly infatuated with the shonen genre or because of the animation but any true enthusiast can denote this anime is missing vital key components to actual make it an 8. Some of the inconsistencies that were more then common as you already know are the characters, You find if difficult to nurture an emotional connection to the mc and the other subsidiaries In said story. Throughout the story( or more so up to ep 5 tee hee)
the mc background wasn’t really all that intriguing and his personality was overall contradictory even he didn’t know who he was himself the premise of the plot finding a magical elixir that will grant immortality lol is this Donghua now is he gonna become the best cultivator throughout the seven seas😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😭😭😭The on a island death game anything can happen theme like is this kings game or something total drama island ahhh😭😭😭  the plot was abnormally slow people tried to defend it saying well if you don’t include such derivatives people are gonna to exclaim it as plot armor Stop with the foreboding because what in fact did transpired is staleness. The other sub female protagonist is tedious her “difficulties” and her “trials” she had to overcome were “predominantly”(entirely) based on the fact that she’s a female and she should stick to the common practices of her gender wow so endearing you’re so strong you go girl it just brings me too tears yeah I don’t give one fuck😭😭😭 Her receiving the sword from the other asaemon because she exceeded her “indoctrinated” mindset is tacky and regurgitate worthy. It’s ironic because the blonde and his brother are undoubtedly the most interesting characters throughout this entire story and it just makes one think why In some animes side characters go harder than the mc for example if you ever seen world harem the grey haired guy with glasses is way better then the mc 😭 In Hell they should have just gathered all of their resources time expenditures into just building on the guy and his brother story then this could be praise worthy enough to be an 8. Ps I’m not saying it’s completely trash but the rating is so abrasive it would be a crime to not communicate such it took like 6 episodes for it to even be deemed watchable and I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone with an understanding of what a good show actually contains just drop it entirely oh and also redo of healer solos anyone who says otherwise is just an immature moralist that perpetuates their standing on a literal tv show as if watching it defines who one is or that they align with such stop acting like a prudent child jobless reincarnation solos eminence in shadow solos

One of the best first episodes I have seen in a while. It really got me hooked. Also, he is a cutie. I would never say no to a bit of gore but in the same time he is this wifey guy, almost fell for him x)
Totally looking forward to it. Hope it stays as good throughout <3

The animation is okay for this day and age, but the plot so far feels pretty average. It is the usual "The protagonist has someone to protect so he will receive the blessings of plot armor for the entire plot. It has already been decided that plot armor will prevail, no enemies can overcome plot armor." Even so, there isn't much going on in the first episode, just talks, talks, and endless talks, and a little bit of action, that's all.

The executions aren't even interesting, it's just straight up torture by the folks who don't even know jackshit about mc, like how in the world is it possible the executioner know nothing about who he is executing?? And it gets a bit repetitive after the first one, we all know the mc cannot die, it just feels like the show just starts to drag on at this point. Like the writers are trying a bit too hard to come up with different kinds of executions, but we all know it won't even affect mc anyways, so what's the point?

The dialogues are a bit cringe and boring. The sword lady who is a bit annoying and talks like she knows everything about other people that has nothing to do with her business. The executioner dude who fails at doing one job. And the wife who talks like she is some kind of saint with praying meditating stuff. What exactly is the point the mc keeps having those transient flashbacks of his wife? The extremely boring and exact same dialogues with him and his wife being repeated over and over, what do they want to show us exactly? To feel bad for mc? If that's the case, it fails very miserably. We still know nothing about his relationship and why he is even is his state. And the mc himself he doesn't even know if he wants to live or die and he needs other people to tell him. None of the dialogue is intriguing to me.

I am not really invested in this show so far, so I don't really know if I should continue. If mc plot armor and boring dialogues is predominantly the entire show then I rather not waste my time. I feel over underwhelmed with this first episode. This is my take on it. I know many out there think this series is amazing. I don't.

I'd have locked him inside a cage and throw it underwater for a month. Let's see him survive that. Even Kaido probably won't lol. Also why is he acting like a kissless virgin when his own fucking wife kissed him, only in anime.
