They did this show so wrong already. Idk if the mangas pacing was bad but the anime’s definitely was. There was no reason to care about anything happening on screen. The intro made me think maybe they were going to do something cool like akame ga kill but they didn’t. The cgi is like what chainsaw man haters described the show as and the outro was just trash. The art style is extremely limited compared to the manga meaning that other than the voice acting there’s not much of a reason to watch this over the manga. Unfortunate as of now but there is time for that to hopefully change

It was the perfect first episode. Kyoka Uzen was badass, and Yuuki's slave transformation was great.

The reward that Yuuki received from Uzen was spicy and only the beginning. I can't wait for the other, more lewd rewards and seeing them animated.

THIS WILL BE PEAAK FICTION!

So much for "PeAk FiCtIoN"

The only thing that was peak here was the amount of low-budget CGI they put in and they certainly didn't disappoint on that part! Everything else however was below garbage.
Lmao I'm already dropping it and they probably toned down or cut half of the manga's spiciness

I thought this first episode was decent but besides the kiss there was hardly any ecchi. At least there were some amusing moments such as Yuuki's transformation, and after reading some comments the ecchi should get better.

I didn't expect to like this at all, but that first episode wasn't bad. I enjoyed it actually. However, I'm sure once the ecchi really takes off my enjoyment will wane. For now though, I shall continue watching. I thought the VA for Uzen was fantastic. The female character designs were really nice, as well. I don't really care for the main guy, but his slave form was pretty cool.

I was really looking forward to this show, but now I'm not sure if I should continue it or not. Not because of the Ecchi and all. I'm just not feeling like watching it. Maybe I'm just not in the mood to watch something like this now, but will feel like watching it later.

Kyoka got me feeling something else. I wasn’t expecting this to turn out so well one episode in, but the femdom fantasy is real and they leaned all the way into it. Excited for next ep.

Please keep Nei innocent that’s the only worry I have.

So many people are complaining about the CGI like it's bad. It really isn't, there are anime with far worse CGI, the animation was great too. Also, the ecchi really picks up so maybe don't complain after just 1 episode only. I know this had high expectations but damn, don't start whining after 1 episode, give it some time.

So the subs changed "it's time to submit" to "it's time to bow down"....

The anime also didn't start by giving a explanation about how the gender roles have been reversed, and they changed some things like adding that girl and the boy being part of the Mato mishap, when they were never on the manga.
It also showed the other girls way earlier than in the manga, since there they only were introduced after Yuuki and Kyouka got the HQ, and so they have no idea how powerful Yuuki actually is.

The ecchi should come next episode tho.
@MadanielFL

yea man, i dont understand why they changed those things, why they couldnt keep adaptations faithful idfk

i still LOVE it

but im not gonna pretend like im not kinda scared at what else they might remove/change

wtf was the point of adding the 2 kids that needed saving lol? just to bring in the other girls extra early?

are they TRYING to rush things?

For a show that has a very kinky premise, I really liked it. I was definitely feeling the Akame Ga Kill vibes when Yuuki transformed into a demon with Kyouka's Eternal Chains: Slave ability. It was really badass. That kissing scene was very erotic, if that's Kyouka's definition of a reward then sign me up to be her slave. However, the one thing that is holding this series back is the CGI of the demons which could have been polished a little bit more to make smoother against 2D backgrounds so that they don't stick out as an eyesore. I like the ED, so I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode.

This anime has the potential to be a hit, hopefully it will get a second season.

This will definitely be a "turn your brain off and just enjoy" type of anime lol. Knowing the type of show this is though, I'm not coming into it expecting a deep story, thought-provoking themes, and nuanced character writing; as long as I'm entertained and get to see some tits, this will pass as decent for me lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Porn addicts and gooners eating so good this season ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Been looking forward to this adaptation to really get the story here. I read the manga, but basically only for the erotica so I actually don’t remember too many of the big plot points. First episode does a good job of setting up the crazy world the MC has got himself into, but the biggest thing holding it back right now is the production values.

The character designs themselves are ok, but the CGI from the very first opening shot was horrible. Yuuki’s fight also looked like a viewtiful Joe cutscene from the GameCube. The biggest thing is making sure the CGI doesn’t stick out too much against the 2D background and a lot of studios struggle with that.. There’s a lot of action in this story so hopefully it isn’t as bad going forward, but I’m prepared for the worst.

Regular animation was okish, lot of speed lines, but it is what it is. We all know what we’re for, the PLOT. Not much of it today, steamy kiss between the commander and the MC to set the tone for the “rewards”. hot. But I’m looking forward to levels of crazy it’ll reach later on.

Solid first episode

Pretty grim world to walk into. Yuuki has some skill at housekeeping for sure. I don't think staying put in Mato is sane advice considering its occupants. Still the reward for becoming her slave sure was a pretty cool one. Kyouka and Yuuki really had the best combo of lethality and speed. A fitting award for all that hard work i think. Funny thing that whether in combat or at the dorm that Yukki ended up being a slave for both. Though being a caretaker for four cute girls should be a fun one. I can think of worst jobs in this world. Taking orders from a 11 year old girl though lol. Overall a solid opening ep that featured a fine balance of action and lore expansion. The slave angle might raise some eyebrows but in this case i think its quite appropiate given the premise.

Well, it's a big day for certain types of people...

Pretty fun as popcorn entertainment, had a few laughs at the ridiculous moments. The art is pretty good but the CG does leave a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, though it's not really too bad or anything. Considering how bad the trailers looked I have to say this was a bit better than I expected, and it should be fun going forward.

Looks ugly, but otherwise it was fairly enjoyable. Been planning to get into the manga for a long while (the amount of unsolicited spoilers I've seen simultaneously made me less eager and more curious), maybe watching the anime will finally push me over the edge. That looks so much better.

Kinda unsure whether to just drop this. Any fella with a brain would've quit the deal when he heard the actual job was something else entirely. The background info on the world made it seem as if men have things more difficult since they don't get the "abilities" but there were still some company bosses n stuff around, so it's pretty normal.

So the illogical stuff happened, as usual, for the sake of having a plot setting like this... which means "not a quality story".

I am so glad that they animation and voice acting was on point. After watching some recent anime adaptations I was a bit nervous.

I am also legit surprised that Shushu and Tenka were blondes. I am not sure what hair color I expected them to have but the fact that these two in particular have such grounded color scheme took me a bit by surprise.

I haven't read the manga but I knew some things about it so I was looking forward to this. I liked it, pretty good first episode for what it is.

CGI looks weird but it's not that bad. The reward on the other hand looked great and this is just the beginning. Definitely the stuff to look forward to in this show.

With those kinds of rewards, who wouldn't want to be Kyouka's slave? xD. And she's voiced by Akari Kitou so even better! I really like the designs of the girls and with Yuuki being their caretaker, I can't wait for the harem shenanigans haha.

That ED. If there's one character I know from the manga it's Tenka and it seems like the staff knows what the fans like haha.

Good start. I never have any trouble with CGI of any series but this one beat my expectation. It was a relief since I was worrying the CGI would put of others from one of my favourite series.

Some changes to the first chapter plot but it’s for the better I’d say. Solid episode

The same basic black haired protag, with an all familiar basic voice who unsurprisingly wasn’t very glad with his life is here to grace us with their presence. But as life goes in the world of anime, the losers get all the goods from god, and so did this dude, I mean all of a sudden he was somewhere… somewhere very far from the realms of average humans we all reside in, and god knows why.

They call that disaster thing Mato, but how and why it came to be they never bothered to explain. Just a silver haired big boobs girl jumped from the heavens, defeated those demons, sort of, I mean not even that, as just a few minutes later they couldn’t do much and then came the idea of utilizing the skills of this dog… our main dude to the fullest, by literally making him a SLAVE lmaoooooo.

Goes without saying he did well as a slave, and will join the demon extermination forces or whatever the name is, too. And this series being the cliche it is, of course he’d be the only man in that group our main heroine led him to.

Anyways, WHERE IS ECCHI??????? THIS… WHAT WE JUST SAW??? Lmaooo, just a 10 second kissing clip and even that wasn’t what we should consider “proper” in ecchi terms. Lol, and they were selling this series over that. Not to mention, the pacing felt rushed af.
@Softhenic03 I like how the mc has a unique hair style for once but he's still grouped up with being a basic black haired protag lol.

Eh I guess I can watch this series if I mute the fighting scenes. Sounds like 80's or 90's movie fights and don't really care for that. Basically, staying for the ecchi. Let's see for how long.

Not much to see yet other than a usual ecchi, harem setup with a Male MC that's been blessed by the god of Cherry Boys.
VA and character art are quite good though. Has the potential to at least be an entertaining visual treat to watch. Hope it could be more than that though.

This first episode was pretty bad overall.

The animation quality was poor, the OP and ED were nothing special and I think the series might go downhill from there.

This is a series I’ve known for a while so it’s nice to finally see what it’s about besides the obvious thing, being beautiful babes lol. This first episode was a good one, and I’ll say it mainly reminded me of two other series, the first being “World End Harem” because of the world ruled by women and the harem aspect, and the other show being “Darling in the Franxx” (which is a favorite of mine) and this is mainly because Kyouka reminds me of Zero Two and you have the thing where the lad gets powered by the waifu which if I remember correctly is the opposite of Ditf lol.

Those things aside tho I do like the setup of Yuuki getting his own harem through his role as Kyouka’s slave, poor lad can’t actually be part of the defense force tho lol, the fruit likes the babes I suppose, but I do look forward to seeing what harem shenanigans occur in this dorm. And I can definitely see the “reward” thing with Kyouka getting even more raunchy as this goes on, I’m not a manga reader but I can feel we just scratched the surface here lol. And one thing I wasn’t a fan of was the monster designs, they look kinda lame so far and the CGI doesn’t do them any favors, hopefully we see some truly cool designs for them later. And lastly that was a damn nice OP, actually kinda reminded me of something from the 2000s or early 2010s, very nice indeed, and we got another chill ED here with some waifu centric visuals and Maaya Uchida who never misses, very good combo there.
