| This is interesting so far. Also what with that Explosionnn Megumin vibe I get lmao! Is MC secretly Konosuba anime fan :D |
 |
| another perverted mc.. |
 |
| EXPLOOOOOOOOOSION!!! I loved that scene, they even used the same ost as Megumin's explosions. I liked the first episode, it made me laugh many times. Astoroth's so cute, especially when she's blushing. One of the few things that I didn't like about this episode was the characters' over the top expressions, they looked bad. |
 |
| That was a great first episode, had me laughing at some parts. JC.staff doing a pretty good job so far. Hope they keep it up with the comedy and it doesn’t get repetitive. Agent six really was trying to pull out the exploooooooosion lmao. |
 |
| yeah the humor fell flat for me. Maybe it was because of the light speed pacing of this episode |
 |
| Great stuff, I really liked the humor. Astaroth and Alice are cute. The password stuff made me crack up and when Agent Six tried to put on that Tsundere attitude I laughed out loud. Also loved the part at the end where they were defying Snow along with Alice's complete 180 attitude change towards her. Konosuba reference was great too, I hope they keep the comedy working. |
 |
| The maincharacters reminds me of cautious hero, this is too fucking hilarious. The author of Konosuba is working on this no wonder that's its so funny. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I like this show. Everyone is baka except the princess and the robot girl. |
| EXPLOSION! Megumin would be proud. XD Alice with the shotgun... when was the last time I've seen a badass little girl. Snow will be great to see. She feels like the Aqua version of this show. Overall, a great start. A lot of hilarious moments and it is something I need for Sundays. Looking forward to more. |
 |
| Not sure how to feel about it yet, but I really loved Alice as a character in general, everything she said was golden and her voice actress was great. |
| :3 |
| It was a pretty decent episode. I liked the world and it feels like there is some good plot potential. At the moment I don’t like the protagonist very much but that’s the only flaw I see. |
 |
| This show is so meta, I love it. |
   |
| Awful sound directing, awful voice acting, especially the male mc. Ugh. Just listening his voice irks me. Edit: ah, it’s the same sound director as the one who screwed One Punch Man S2 |

| For a show titled "Combatants" with a character whose schtick is introducing himself as a combatant solely so other characters can respond that it's strange for him to do that, one might expect at least a small amount of combat. One would be sorely disappointed. But sure, this thinks of itself as a comedy, so let's engage it on that front. One character's schtick is that he introduces himself as a combatant, and other characters say that's strange. Oh, hell. I think that I might see a core issue here. You'd think that the petty sexual harassment and toilet humor of things like "set the password to 'dick festival'" would be what turns people off, but I'm not sure it gets far enough along the joke spectrum for that to even come into play. There's just a lack of any real effort all around. KonoSuba wasn't lighting the world on fire with its wit, but it had at least a little bit of heart and a few twists on the formula in the first couple episodes before it sunk itself into a rut. And yes, I think the comparison is fair (from the same author). They're definitely trying to use similar face expressions to sell the non-jokes, and a greedy, arrogant blue haired girl who is constantly being flustered and outwitted by the protagonist as the lead girl. It's not subtle. This seems more content to ape protagonists like Lupin, but without displaying that they're also highly competent to go along with their swagger, or even any kind of story to drive events, all we really have here is an obnoxious jackass making silly faces for 20 minutes. |
| Pretty entertaining start, this. Already off with the Megumin reference, that's what I like to see xD. Astaroth x MC, yes please. Alice's jabs are hilarious, looking forward to more of them. Hearing Japanese for the first time by the way, xD. Good lord, that penis joke though, all's good in the name of collecting evil deeds lol. Definitely curious to see how this'll progress. |

| Was a fine episode, but im not sure if I will watch till the end, hopefully I will get the full vibe after 2 more episodes. |
 |
| When Snow said nothing they had looked like weapons, it reminded me of Army of Darkness 🤣 |
 |
| High class comedy indeed. It takes guts to say what the agent six said to his bosses though. Alice though has quite the attitude. But it complements agent six's personality pretty well. Still Alice's ability to invent backstories on the spot was quite impressive. Its funny how that knight order has such a variety of age within their ranks. Love the reference to Megumin's famed spell though. To think that Snow was a glory hound though. Still liking the princess so far though. Overall a pretty fun opening ep that did well to introduce the main cast as well as the comedy that will serve as the series main theme. |

| Everything happened so fast that I was confused most of the episode... but it was somewhat funny |
 |
| Well, this was great. This looks and sounds just like Konosuba. This will definitely be one of the shows that I will watch weekly. And yeah, EXPLOOOOOOOSION !!!! |
 |
| I'll admit, I already gave this 1st episode a 5/5 just for the Megumin reference alone. X3 Aside from that moment, this episode felt quick on the pacing, but it got straight to the point at the same time. Comparisons with Konosuba is unavoidable since this is from the same author, but I enjoyed this episode as a whole. Combat Agent Six is a pervert and has no shame in showing what he desires so often and Alice, the loli android, also gets a thumbs up for her sarcastic replies to Agent as well as good put down on Snow at the end of the episode, too. Here's hoping that this show will be a fun experience. I don't care too much if it doesn't hold a candle to Konosuba. Just as long as it puts a smile on my face and makes me chuckle often, that would be me satisfied. =P |
| It was what I thought but I really can't see how Yuusuke Shirais voice would fit on Combatant no. 6. When reading the light novels, it sound more normal and mature but still a little childish in my head. The other character voices are good. Will finish this anyway. |

| A bit on the silly and stupid side, this reminded me of both Lupin III, the MC himself gives off Lupin vibes, and a random mid-2000s space comedy series. I see it's by Konosuba's author, a series I enjoyed. Well, I'll keep watching. At least it's got several girls with big, beautiful tits! XD |
| Sexy chicks, pervert MC and very funny comedy, yeah, this will be a fun one. That's actually a pretty accurate description. |
 |
| For a first episode it was a bit too fast paced for my tastes. Some more context of the original world before being flung to that other planet would have been nice. Maybe it will slow down in the future. Anyway, comedy was alright and the girls seem likeable. Since it's from the same author as Konosuba at least we most likely won't get a trainwreck unless the studio fucks it up. (like TPN S2 lol) |
| I hated first episode all of characters so copy + paste that it was awkward to watch, jokes weak and predictable at this point kemono michi was better at least it had legendary princess suplex.. |
| Man, this is just too messed up.....in a nice way, that is. |
| Man they nailed the explosion reference, even including the theme. Hilarious AF Also laughed at the mac boot up sound of the artifact. Loved it. |
 |
| The setting is the most interesting thing about this show. A mindless romp. Lots of boobs. Can't complain too much. |
| I'm… pretty disappointed in this. I don't know, most of the jokes didn't land and the characters are forgettable so far. Not sure ill keep up with that one. |
 |
| Fucking fantastic. This is probably heading towards comedy of the season at this point. From the creator of Konosuba, I can really see traits of the show back into this show. A Kazuma like mc, a mad scientist in the shape and spirit of Megumin and a warrior who wears the same skirt as Aqua (unless I am seeing things) and has that same Aqua vibe going for her. Yeah this show is here to stay, there's plenty of oppai as well, so I am all for it!! |
 |
| It has a bunch of interesting ideas, but the execution was so... meh. Definitely not bad, but nothing to write home about either. I think this one goes to the "try binging at the end of the season" list. |
| Sent to another planet, that seems to work the same as a fantasy Isekai world!? I could say it's kinda lazy, but at the same time I enjoyed it, so let the fun begin. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| This was... not that funny. Not like KonoSuba in the rewatch got me feeling all crazy either with its comedy. |
| Loved Konosuba. This was just boring and everything just fell flat, gonna give it 3 episodes and we will see after that. |
