Yes, I don't like this show for subjective reasons...

Except she isn’t overpowered she struggle a lot and almost die a lot to carry out her mission unlike ains or smt that’s actually straight up op and have almost no stakes I don’t get y so many ppl hate the protag I think a 2 sided pathological lier makes for a way better protag than a boring generic typical anime protag and she isn’t edgy af where she has no reguards to humans and isn’t “perfect” her human nature gets in the way of her work at times

Yeah, the story genuinely feels fresh, innovative and interesting but I'm not gonna find any fancy excuses for that... I really can't stand the main character after what she did in the first episode.

That whole overpowered assassin stuff who kills sometimes likeable characters mercilessly and one-sidedly or "before they can get bad" isn't really main character material for me (didn't like Tanya, Overlord, or the Isekai Assassin stuff for that).

And also, I admit that maybe I'm biased towards the "only strong females" and yuri settings since I also struggle to get into anime with a main female cast like Toaru Kagoku no Railgun but I really liked shows like Kill la Kill, Madoka, Binbougami or the Last of Us 2 game.

It's shallow and superficial but it'd be really difficult for me force myself to follow the story through the point of view of a character that we are supposed to empathize with but who is so annoyingly irritating to me, no matter how good the story and world building is.

I'll still try to be opened minded and watch a bit of the anime when I'll feel less irritated by it but I don't know if it's specific to the anime but clearly the author or showrunners should've known that it would rub some of the audience the wrong way and try to broach the first part differently while still keeping the story's authenticity about the same.

I don't find Menou that annoying tbh. I like her humanistic nature despite being an assassin. After she killed the boy, she gives him a proper burial and even put a flower on his grave. Could be seen as a troll move, but still, it's an interesting side of her.

No, i think they were talking about Menou. Menou is the assassin.

The very 1st ep is the reason I feel the same bout the show but ep 5 changed the mood a lil I’ll say it made it interesting a lil can’t say further

Sekirodiealotoft said:

When they said annoying, they're probably referring to akari because plenty of people here thinks she's annoying

This is why I don't go blind into any anime.

While I disagree with the over-powered part, I can respect personal preferences, and how you didn't just go to a mad rant. Mayhaps this anime just isn't your style, and I wish thee luck with finding another anime that's more up your alley.

Fellow Shokei enjoyers, rejoice! We have a reasonable hater. Let's give them our well-wishes.

Hitler wasn't evil he thought he was doing the right thing. He saw his country destroyed in WW1 because of a group of international jews. He even had their bodies buried or cremated, so he obviously cared about them. He didn't enjoy or laugh about the Holocaust. I don't know how anyone could think he was evil for what he did.
