This is probably the funniest series this entire spring season. I have really enjoyed watching these past 2 episode. Getting a bit Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete vibes but without the ecchines. Just pure comedy and I really like it. Hopefully it's sticks around to be enjoyable.
As for the episode, killed in the can is the way to go. I like it when it goes fast though. No unnecessary fighting. Also, everyone says Satoko is clumsy but doesn't she have amazing reflexes? Is she just lucky or is she actually a pro?

Oh yeah, it wouldn't be real Shaft anime without a head tilt!

A bit weaker episode than first one, but still great.

Another great episode. That post credits scene was really nice and pretty dark when think about, lol. RiP, the yuri couple that could never be.

This series is a ton of fun. We have a new member of the gang who can mind-wipe witnesses. We have a top notch Killer, clean-up artist, and witness control specialist. This is turning into a full-on mafia level operation. Except it is just three girls, haha.

Fun episode, and funny with the clothes shopping. Loved Konoha trying to gaslight and convince Satoko that her dream is just to work with her and then lounge around.

Also they went all in on the poses in this whole scene 😳:

Yes, this anime is a gem!

The fighting goes so fast I was missing a lot of the hidden details. Had to re watch the intro / fights slowly to see a ton of hidden funny details that I missed the first time due to the fast cuts! Awesome stuff in there.

Also a lot of the "funny" parts turn out to have real assassin rationale behind them. Makes them even more enjoyable when you realize it.

So for a brief moment the post-credits scene confused me, the three girls hanging out and drinking. I had two theories looking at what happened considering they were killed.

1) This is some version of the afterlife where they are all living in peace
or 2) Satoko's leaf magic doesn't DISPOSE of a body, rather it's a teleport spell of some kind, and the girls all reform after being teleported away on the brink of death, I dunno

But then they were tasked with finding Satoko, meaning this was merely a flashback and they failed and died horribly. Which, considering all their talk about their hopes and dreams for the future, makes this show pretty fucking grim and depressing.

I'm still questioning the show for all the wholesome moments they showed in the end.

It's not fair!

Anyways another fun episode, it would be better if all of them didn't died.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

I feel like the show surely can't keep killing all the ninjas on the first interaction. Partly because that joke of easily killing them will eventually stop being funny, but also because a gag series like this really needs to have a wider ensemble cast for a variety of recurring gags: you can't just mine humour of two characters making the same jokes forever, you need more options to mix things up.

Naaah, I find Konoha intolerably repulsive. Don't think that'll ever change. She was about to mass-murder at least 8 innocent bystanders without hesitation too.

Are ninjas all retarded amateurs, getting killed instantly by some rank 200+ assassin?

And what's with emotion manipulation at the end, giving us backstory of dead ninjas who had 10-15 seconds of screen time. F this, I'm out.

First dropped show this season.

That is exactly why Konoha is rank 200+, hehe. She is "over the top" in killing, and clients do not like that. :D

She doesn't have problems with her killing skills...
Her rank is so low because she kills in such a way that even an idiot would understand that it is a contract killing.

Would be nice if they reveal something ridiculous like Satoko's ability actually resurrects people without anyone knowing, and all the 'dead' ninja just ran away afterwards
@Marmotzel Unfortunately no, she used it on inanimate objects as well.

In the first episode I said that I hoped Konoha's deadpan look would change after meeting Satoko but after seeing Konoha's smile towards the end of this episode I think the deadpan look works better. Also, I wonder if the leader girl will end up working with the 2 girls since her memory erasing ability is useful plus she needs to get a job.

Konoha being paid, and then offering a part of that to Satoko to preserve as life savings, though getting normal clothes to better replace her ninja outit that is the epitome of embarrassment, it works. But to encounter yet another assassin from her village, Konoha makes quick work as usual thanks to her standing out as quite literally a ninja lols.

Konoha being out for work, and Satoko encountering yet another fellow village escapee, this time being her leader Kuro, at least she's patronizing to Satoko by living off her partner's savings and live a modest life. That is at least the context to Satoko, though Konoha almost labelled her the same as the other ninja assassins. At the very least, Satoko has her name registered under Konoha, so there's that.

Kuro's talk motivating Satoko to have a goal for herself, and trying to take to Konoha about it...sure doesn't sound all that fascinating, until said assassin herself confronts the former ninja leader to give her own pep talk. And once again, a ninja assassin on the loose that got Konoha good, she didn't even spare a chance given Konoha's assassin skills by playing dead. Add any abnormalities about her, and it leaves both Satoko and Kuro all dumbfounded lol.

The girls' talk between the yet-deceased ninja assassins is both interesting and funny at the same time...yelp.

This thread is something else lol, MAL is either full of psychopaths or genuinely low IQ people who can't read between the lines and see how thoroughly cynical and callous this anime is (and not just because cute girls are dying).

As a low IQ psychopath, I can relate to both groups.

Fun episode and great animation.

There isn't enough about the ninjas' Konoha murders to make me feel anything, so the humor does not land. I enjoy Satoko and her naive/clumsy persona, so I will continue watching for her and see if the humor hooks me.

We'll see how many more Ninjas Konoha assassinates and how Satoko and Kuro(is she sticks around) help out in climbing the assassin ranks.

Another great episode man but YO WHAT WAS THE END SCENE MAN WHY PULL MY HEART LIKE THAT???? All 3 of the ninja girls are now dead and they were the best of friends man that shit was so sad, why did the author have to do that man?? And I LOVEEEEEE Midori’s design, she’s got twin tails a gothic type outfit and thigh highs and her eyes look so nice I’m so sad we won’t get to see her fine ass no more and it’s sad tbh at she won’t get to live her life with that other girl man🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲😭

Leader is so funny man, she’s tryna live life like a good samaritan and get money the honest way but is tempted like no tomorrow when she saw how easy Sakoto was making guap from using her ninja skills haha she’s so adorable to me when she catches herself having contradictory thoughts, she also has an “SO” so imma automatically assume that she has a girlfriend but I also laughing the fact at how broke Leader is like she gotta let go of her morals and get money the easy way🤣

And guys if I didn’t know any better but I’m PRETTY sure that this is a CGDCT and a GL and I’m loving it. I love Yuri bc compared to guys who will say anything to a bit of cooch, I got a soft spot for Yuri bc its really cute seeing 2 girls being in love bc the emotions from it feel so genuine and authentic to me

Man RIP those dead ninjas. They could've been some fun side characters. Well I wonder if we'll keep seeing more of them in flashbacks or something. Them throwing in those 3 interacting at the end and having fun was like throwing salt in the wound. In overlord they give you the backstories names of these characters then destroying them but in this they destroy first then punch you with a backstory.

How can a show go from cute, wholesome fun to making me question whether I should feel depressed? It's truly amazing what the staff achieved with this show. The cute atmosphere really masks the grim reality of the actions happening. I'm experiencing a confusing mix of emotions right now. Still, I truly enjoy the interactions between the characters. Another solid 5 out of 5!

That moment 🙄
When you and your bestie and her friend go to a cafe to drink fancy coffee 💅
and then a killer tries to poison you 🥀
and you have to kill her ✨

Okay, enough of this joke.

This anime is pretty dumb but funny in some moments.

But they kill such cuties every episode, do they really die? Thats a total waste! They're too cute for that. Maybe they just teleport somewhere when Satoko turns them into leaves? Damn i will definetely lower the rating by 2 or 3 points if they really kill all these cute shinobis.

The flashbacks of the ninja who died in this episode were actually sad LOL. They just graduated and died instantly because of Konoka. Also, it's super obvious Satoko loves Konoka, while Konoka only sees her as an idiot who can be easily used.

The leader character introduced in this episode was decent—she's trying her best to guide Satoko, but will it work? Konoka's influence on her is massive!

Another point: why is Konoka always drawn in such provocative poses? LOL the artist is clearly giving her all the attention, like she's the star of the show. Props to the studio!

Alright… you’re telling me we’re gonna get SoL scenes featuring the DEAD characters? The cute ninja babes that die the moment they’re introduced? I guess it’s good they’re more utilized beyond showing up and dying but damn this makes it kinda hurt lol, I get they’re all in a dangerous business where you can die at any time but still, well at least the scene was cute.

And oh yeah, Leader is a nice addition, thank god she was there during the incident with Midori, otherwise the kill count that day was about to shoot way up lol.
