Its reasonable tho his power is dangerous it might bring disaster he also might abuse his own power lots of people will die if he goes berserk. Also im wondering why ppl thought that the guy is the mc seriously? It's so obvious that he isn't and ppl are shock because menou killed the guy like its not really surprising tho especially if you read the description. The description said that "Lost ones are wanderers from Japan no one knows why or how they leave their homes. They are certain that they bring disaster and calamity. The duty of exterminating them without remorse falls to Menou, a young Executioner." In description its already mentioned there that Menou is an Executioner and in anime they also said that the guy is a lost one so isn't it obvious already that he's gonna die? |
| I came across this series with a meme since I didn't even know it existed. But with this first episode I'm definitely be following the anime. I guess this will be some kind of yuri-bait with only girls cast, however the plot seems to be interesting. Also, I have seen people bothered because they killed the guy, I don't get why, he wasn't funny and was barely a character, so I was fine althought a little surprised (but make sense if you see he isn't in the anime promotional pic). |
| Not bad not bad I thought this is gonna be another Isekai but it's pretty interesting |
MarchinBunny said: What was the point of her being nice to this dude? I could understand for the sake of discreetness to lure him away, but it was more than that because she was still being nice to him even after entering the church. She even explained how his powers worked, which makes zero sense. If you think these people are dangerous and your job is to execute them, why would you teach him how to use that power before you kill him? Maybe she wanted to know what his powers were. |

Yuri-Crusader said: The biggest problem I often dislike this kind of Yuri with violence in it. I much rather want girl romancing and kissing other girl,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES For me I watch and read all kinds of yuri. I don't want just romance yuri. I want also sad/gore/dramatic/SOL/action/sci-fi/fantasy/murder/psychological/horror etc.yuri. Every genre should have yuri. |
|
| Best looking J.C.Staff anime I've seen in a while lmao. Frankly not perfect (not the biggest fan of Momo for example) but it was a really solid first episode! Also, the people getting triggered by what happened to generic isekai MC-kun in the middle of the episode is the stupidest thing I've seen in a while lmao. |
 |
| This was surprisingly good. Thank god I decided to go into this show completely blind. While I did think the show would have some reveal in the episode, the twist was still wonderfully dark. I also like the dialogue in this one, feels a bit more free-flowing than the usual trashy isekai. The animation was much better than I expected too given it was J C Staff animating this. The tonal shift from the reveal to fan-service shots was a bit jarring but not too bad overall. While my impression could change later on, this first episode was one of the few great first episodes in isekai shows. |
Why? As far as I am aware, based on her job, that doesn't matter. I mean, I went back to reread the synopsis, and based on that she has to at least try and kill the girl before even knowing what her power is to find out what her power is. Right? |

Keiidai said: great episode, many people really thought that the boy was the mc and hating the anime eventually and find it boring lmao Personally, if it still turns out good, I will not care. I just didn't like it. The concept itself is fine. The bait and switch was totally unnecessary and was just annoying to me. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| One thing for sure, I was interested after this episode. It's such a new thing to see, seeing isekai characters getting killed immediately like that. I'm excited to see how will the story play. |
 |
| You know what? That was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to be. I gave this anime I try because of what I had been hearing about it, expecting it to be quite bad, but now I feel like people have been a little too harsh on this anime. People are quick to criticise seasonal isekai anime for being generic and all the same, but then they hate on this anime because it did something different. That being said, I wouldn't say this anime is super unique or anything, but I think it is different enough. |

| This was actually pretty interesting, liked the direction in this first episode. The Mili OP seems to be likening this to Goblin Slayer, but hopefully this'll be a bit better than that. Seems to be treating its grimdark setting with respect, so I'm hopeful. |
| Trying out (almost) every anime that airs each season since 2018. |
| oo wtf im actually pretty interested in this lol. held my breath when main girl killed that guy, pretty nice twist |

I really think it's a bit dishonest to act like the reason some have an issue with it is because it's "different." Even I have listed quite a few issues I found with it, and not a single one of those issues has to do with it being different. |

Oh sorry, I thought that was the only reason people were taking issue with it. Yes, of course there are other things to dislike about this anime. |

| So much satisfied watching that GENERIC LOOKING SELF-INSERT MALE character got killed by Menou. I've already read LN of the series so I was just waiting for that very moment. Already 11/10 for me by that scene! |
Gritoit said: DatRandomDude said: Ngl, its pretty funny reading all these people pissed off that their glorious self insert MC-kun got killed right off the bat lol. I have yet to see anyone that is "pissed" that he was killed. On the other hand, I have seen tons of people that are confused about why she decided to kill him in the manner that she did and find the whole thing to be illogical. The anime didn't explain that explicitly so I'll just explain. The reason why she have to go such length to kill that man was that because he said he doesn't have any power. So basically she had to take him to abandoned church check if he actually doesn't have any power or just lying to her. If he is powerless like he thought he is, she would let him live. So for your 3, 4 5 and 7, there you goes. For your 1 and 2, her job is basically to make sure that the chance of another isekaied op to be 0%. So yes, as long as he had the chance to activate his power which is fairly easy to activate and control for me, she will have to kill him. She called herself 'Executioner' for that reason. For your 6. She is shown to be OP against her own world residence. Even after she killed that boy, his power can activate. With his power, he can basically erase everything meaning he can even erase his death or erase her or anyone existence Basically she won't be able to kill him once he got used to his power. Why wait until he got stronger when she can kill him when he is weak. |

| It's so generic but I enjoyed it. Pretty interesting ngl, I'll see where it goes. |

Like the anime showed, the power can activate even at the last moment In LN, she said the exact word In manga she said Both line are skipped on the anime btw |

| So I had no idea that the new spring season was starting this weekend, therefore a little behind on seasonals that I’d usually have write ups for. But man what the hell, this first episode hit extremely different. J.C staff must’ve hired new people because this is some of the best work I’ve seen them do, production quality wise. Animation, art, choreography, loved it all. It’s one episode in, but I loved the mystery of the story as well. I was genuinely shocked when she stabbed dude in the head in the church. I’ve seen people on anitwt and Ani Facebook shitting on it because it’s yuri lmao like imagine missing out on peak fiction because you’re afraid of GL??? |
 |
| Generic guy was more pathetic in the LN. Momo taking picture made my day. |
| Menou!? not really a nice name cuz its similar to menopause...hmmm a character voiced by Yuuma Uchida foddered in just the first 10 minutes...hmmmm 4/5. |
 |
| This is a classic "3 ep tryout" anime. I'm not put off by the premise, but I'm not impressed by the execution(pun not intended), either. Her dream sequence makes me wonder if Menou herself wasn't isekai'd back in the day. |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| Interesting premise, looking forward to how this plays out. OP a bop as well. |

josi_fergi said: Everyone keeps using the term self insert like come on I didn't like scene because i couldn't insert my self quite the opposite if they had just killed the dude wouldn't have a problem but nah she gotta drag him through the ringer moving nice and all with the dude. Since she took so long to kill him I thought he would end up being like her aide or something like what would happen with immortal girl. I didn't watch any promo btw secondly people keep saying she wanted to know his powers but that's bs given what she'll do with the immortal girl and what flare did. The author just being pretentious. Talentless nana on the other hand was great pained me a little the guy died even thought he'd reappear and it made sense Nana didn't just kill him outright but not here i might watch episode 2 if that fails am done. I don't know if you even watched the anime when you are comparing all three completely different situations. When Flare killed the isekaied girl, the damage is already done. The city is already destroyed. In Akari's case, it's inside a basically Criminal house. Not on the public area where she initially met that boy was. |
| did not expect that quick and brutal end for generic isekai boy. lol anyway, enjoyed the first episode. Looking forward to see what Menou would do next. |

I have yet to see anyone that is "pissed" that he was killed. On the other hand, I have seen tons of people that are confused about why she decided to kill him in the manner that she did and find the whole thing to be illogical. Here are the facts: 1. Guy thinks he has no power. At this point just have him be a farmhand or something. The way they activate their powers seems to not be very obvious or easy for one to discover on their own. 2. Once she learns this she has a chance to leave him be. 3. She instead drags him around assuring him that she is going to help him get a job to get money. 4. She takes him to her church. Why here where the building can be damaged? 5. She then tells him the magic words to say and exactly what to imagine in order to activate his power... why? 6. She is then shown to be so OP that even if they fought in a fair fight he would still likely lose. 7. On reading the summary it seems her job is to kill them all regardless of their power so why didn't she kill him when they very first meet? Honestly, to make the most sense she either should have killed him on sight or gotten him a basic job doing anything outside of magic and continued to reinforce the idea that he had no power. Edit: Just thought about another thing that makes no sense. She is basically an assassin but gets very close to the guy literally touching him at times without knowing for sure what his power might be/do. She needlessly puts herself in danger rather than just summoning the church thing she does later and outright killing him from a range since he would likely be clueless as to what was happening. Hell she could even tell him she is using her power to give him the curches blessing or some shit and he would likely believe it until the moment she killed him. No. If you want to kill someone you lure him to some abandoned place like that church probably was. No witnesses no evidence. Also it was remote place in case battle occurred so no civilian casualties. She probably was also interested about his power. What if you tried to kill him and failed because he had some odd power which would have protected him? That would have been disaster and in middle of the city could have spiraled out of control. She used her charms to get info out of him. She got to know his power. Power which sure was dangerous but that power couldn't protect him from surprise attack. Generally professionals don't attack anyone without plan and proper information of whole picture. You want to know your enemy before you strike. |

Thank you for explaining. I feel like those lines should have been included in the anime as it paints a much clearer picture of exactly how extreme these people are. So I assume they would keep them alive if their power was probably nothing that could be harmful and are not so extreme to the point of just killing all other worlders regardless of power. It makes more sense when you have that context. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| it was alright, the first death was a bit of an edgy move, a bit too much crammed into one episode, they should've started it with back story on how the lost are so bad for their world. nevertheless, gonna give it a watch. 2/5 for me for now. |
 |
| Woah now this is a solid show. A very VERY different take for an Isekai show, and I'm glad it prove itself worthy. Menou is a nice killer and MC, and I guess her enemy is the girl of her dreams. Now aside from phrasing it in a yuri-like fashion, the action and the dynamics is something to look forward to. Also that OP from Mili is A-tier. Yeah this one is a surprise, and because of that I am in for the ride! |
 |
| Hot damn! I've misjudged this Anime so hard. Thought it was gonna be one of my non-priority, chill, waifu-heavy Anime for this season. But looks like this packs a punch. Hopefully, it remains that way till the end. On a side note, the artwork looked too much like "Musaigen". I Googled it a bit but there doesn't seem to be any connection between the two (KyotoAni for Musaigen, not J.C. Staff. Also different character designers.). I'm intrigued. |
