Sadly can't say that the first impression was positive, I love KonoSuba but this one didn't do the trick for me so far.

I will give it another episode just in case since I think they just rushed this one hard to get the setting introduction done, hopefully next one will start the fun.

Didn't like this one all that much. The fanservice bits kind of carried since the comedy wasn't funny to me. I can't stand the main male mc and I find him really annoying so far

"HAHAHA" they made the Konosoba explosion reference because it's the same author! that's hilarious


i'm starting to wonder how the hell this person made that after these last two works , this was super not funny and most of the comedy felt like it was meant pervy kids and fell flat ,i forgot there was a time when we had MCs like this that were suppose to be funny but it's 2021... i know kazuma was bad but not this bad.


reaction faces look fun to see though and i guess if this is a ecchi which i think it is then it already has the right cast but this is nothing to write home about

After reading the LN i can say the source material at least its pretty funny, as for the anime... we will have to wait and see.

First episode felt rushed and i dont know, i feel it could have been done better. I think JC Staff here is trying to imitate Konosuba with the exagerated expresions, but while reading the LN i pictured Agent Six as the kind of guy that did perverted stuff with a straight face.

So far im not really convinced by how JC is managing this, but its still the first episode i guess. Just hope they dont rush this too much and kill all the jokes.

for something that was written by the Konosuba author, i felt nothing. there are no jokes and when theres an attempt at jokes (the pervert and childish humor), it falls flat.
the only things that was considered comedy is goofy voices and faces, thats it...nothing clever. ill stick around the whole way and see if my perceptions change...hopefully i last

This wasn't the great imo.

The MC is nothing like Kazuma. Kazuma was an asshole but he was also fairly smart. Aqua was a good foil since she was dumb as shit and a real bitch who Kazuma treated accordingly.

This we have a dumbass pervert for an MC and a loli android who is so cliche it kinda hurts. The MC is just annoying and the loli treats the MC like garbage. It's interesting that they are "evil" so we'll see.

Also so many giant tits. At least in Konosuba the tits were played up for laughs if they were huge.

I hope this gets better.

That was an OK first episode. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting more. Since it was by the author of Konosuba I expected more laughs.

The main guy seems fun, especially when teasing snow and the other girls. The loli just seems kind of annoying.

I feel as though this just went too quick. The pacing was so quick that the plot seems like more of an afterthought, and the jokes didn't land as much as I would've liked them to.

I like the premise but I'm hoping for a better showing next week.

Oh yeah, this has Konosuba's author written all over it lmao. Definitely going to love this show, but I doubt it will surpass Konosuba. Six literally has the same speech pattern as Kazuma, pretty cool how Six's VA is able to replicate it. That explosion reference was hilarious, they even got the same music playing.

So far, I'm liking the characters. Six, Alice, Snow, the princess. I do want to see more of Astaroth, Belial and Lilith though we're probably only going to see them from time to time. Really looking forward to the next episode.

Too bad most of the jokes from this first episode were not getting me at all. Laughed from the Konosuba reference "Explosion" though lol. The character designs were kinda meh and pacing issues were present as well. Not really a good sign.

Had the same feeling. Feels like a bad ripoff of Konosuba, this is even worse as the author is the same. Did he run out of ideas?

I already have watched many anime like Gintama and Grand Blue but I found the comedy in this anime somehow amusing. Probably because different tastes. Liking and disliking some series is already natural after all.

Honestly, I'm not liking the overly perverted (low-class humor) nature of the MC either. He has half or less of even Kazuma's restraint. I hope that the MC gets his act together, b/c he seems (I'm anime only for this one, so I don't know what's ahead) very immature and generally unintelligent. The fact that he didn't understand that building the teleportation machine in the middle of nowhere with no nearby access to resources/protection is a bad idea, especially with said resources nearby, makes me assume that he isn't very logical or rational. I personally don't have that high of an IQ, (127 last time I tested -a little above average, not much) but I don't understand why such an important mission, like the exploration of other entire planets, should be entrusted in the hands of an immature idiot. On top of it all, his 'negotiation tactics' are laughably terrible and foolish. The diplomatic interactions, even for anime, were extremely foolish. For instance, the changing of the password to D* Festival is not only an offence to the king, but to the entire country. Even if it is to aquire 'evil points' it is such a suicidal (in terms of the mission which was investigation) move that unless the reward is compareable to the ire of an unfamiliar and hostile nation and failure of said mission (remember, MC can't escape from this world for at least a month, if he's jailed and forced to go home, he fails), it is the essence of shooting yourself in the foot. This is b/c if I were the king in this situation, I would have imprisoned the MC for treason (which would make sense seeing that MC literally has not only dissed the entire nation to an insane degree, seeing as rain is an extremely important natural resource to have, and tampered with said rain without permission) and if the captain of my guard (I believe was the blue haired Character's title) stood up for him, then I would instantly strip her of her title and discharge her from my army. This is b/c if she had such poor judgement to literally allow a complete foreign outsider access to said rain machine, again, with zero permission or authority, how could I trust her? What if these foreigners happen to be assassins? They have zero documentation, so there is zero reason to believe their story, and this is an unbelievable oversight on the blue-haired girl's part. This is a display of sheer incompetence. Do you see a trend?


The main MC's organization is incompetent for sending MC in first place as an ambassador (as they both seemed to know him well). The MC is intellectually incompetent b/c of his poor reasoning skills and lack of restraint. The blue-haired girl who is captain of the guard is obviously incompetent b/c she lets literal strangers waltz right in and gain control of an important resource, the nation's rain supply. The king is incompetent b/c he listens to the story, doesn't ask forigners for documentation or evidence, doesn't seem to understand the weight of these foreigners (potential assassins/sabotagers for all we know as the king) actions, and doesn't realize the extent of the oversight of said blue-haired girl.


So, if you've noticed the trend, that of all important characters being incompetent and foolish, then most likely, this trend will continue (including the low humor) unless episode 2, there is a sudden change of the MC's intelligence, reasoning, and restraint, which, if this is the first episode is establishing the tone for the series, isn't going to happen unfortunately.

That was a wild start. Fast paced and full of nonsense. In terms of first impressions, I don't think this show will stick with me, the major indicator is the fact I didn't laugh and the art/animation looks terrible at points.

With all that aside, Alice may be the character that I'll enjoy watching this for, giving how she interacts to everyone around her, although there does seem to be more girls still too come. Nothing to say about Agent Six, honestly.

Best Moment: Might sound weird, but I kinda dig the teleportation scene

I think it’s ok so far.

You can clearly tell this was made by the same author as Konosuba with some overt references like the “EXPLOSION” part and with some characters that have clear Konosuba counterparts. I didn’t laugh at any point, but I smiled and blew some air out of my nose a few times.

The MC is overly-perverted which I’m not a fan of. We’ll see if that ends up being a huge flaw.

Not a bad first impression. Art is meh, but protagonists and general comedy seems good. The former might be a bit annoying long term I guess? Either way I absolutely disagree with him being anything like Kazuma.
Not sure about story flow. It seems super chaotic, and camera angles and zooms, on top of No. 6's talking pattern, don't help it.

Same here. The MC is increadibly insufferable too - cringy, horny on main and bland.
Konosuba worked cause it was a parody of all the generic isekai out there, but this is just bad so far. The premise is actually kinda cool, too bad they had to go the ecchi comedy route.
Oh well, disappointing to say the least.
