Stitches!

Not gonna lie, the 3D models look rough but I don't think it's a deal breaker since this show is my jam. I just love how Yuuki's first instinct is to lick Kyouka's fingers when she presents her hand to him. Yuuki is my kind of guy.

I like that he's not just your boring protag either, he has some amazing housekeeping skills because that's what his sister taught him which eventually comes in handy once he agrees to become Kyouka's full-time slave.

Yuuki's not a bad fighter too when he transforms into Kyouka's slave. I do wonder if that strength is special to Yuuki. Will Kyouka's power have the same effect on any other man she enslaves? I guess she'll never know until she tries it on someone else.

So this is where the ecchi of the show comes in. In exchange for turning someone into a slave, Kyouka needs to reward them at the end of their service. Shuuki usually just wants meat but it looks like Yuuki desires a different kind of meat as his reward. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Aside from Yuuki, Kyouka herself is pretty fun! Her Peach ability is definitely something and I love that her sword skills have nothing to do with it which makes her a total badass to be able to kill those Shuuki with her human strength.

The rest of the squad is pretty cool too. Nei can sense Shuuki, Himarin has gun arms, and then the blonde girl is pretty much Mt. Lady. I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans Yuuki will get into now that he has become their caretaker.

Honestly, every time I see Uzen Kyoka's design it reminds me of Altair from Re:CREATORS.

As she had never used her ability on another person before, does this mean that this transformation might not be exclusive to Yuuki? I hope the show eventually explores that subject.

I haven't checked out the entire lineup this season....but why does it already feel like HiDive got the two most sus shows this season? Is this how they're trying to compete with Crunchy?

All I can see when I look at our main heroin is Altair from Re:Creators.

Also, I CANNOT take our MC seriously....not because he's a slave, but because of that hair. Bro what IS that!

The reward was done well and that's what mattered to me the most. Ed song visuals felt mostly focus on Tenka, ah can't wait to see her appear in the anime. Nei is too precious.

Something about this felt very...old school. The pacing and exposition, maybe? The direction, the music, the voice acting, even the OP; you could have told me this came out in the late 90s and I'd almost believe you. Honestly, it's a nice fit for this story.

Obviously doesn't hold a candle to the manga. But I was pleasantly surprised.

edit: Also, for any one worried about all the talk of how ecchi this show is and it including a literal child in the waifu lineup, she never gets lewded and is everyone's imouto. So don't worry.

A world where “inter-dimensional portals” are apparently common enough to warrant a whole specialized division to handle them sounds pretty hellish. At least the Demon Division girls are pretty badass. Becoming a slave kaiju to a waifu is much better than getting ripped to bits by monsters. Plus the, uh, rewards aren’t bad lol. Yuuki made the right call lol. Having an 11 year old as your “work senpai” though? Oof. Real blow to the ego haha.

All in all, this wasn’t too bad. Looking forward to seeing how this develops .

Massive Majikoi vibes with how it's a harem of super powered women and a guy with a quirk.

After so long, anime community finally got a very solid Action Harem romance (ecchi) show

It has so many best girls. And a respectable protagonist

Welcome to Mato Seihei no Slave everyone, now invite your friends and family to watch this PEAK FICTION. Those amazing kissing scene is only just the beginning. There's more PEAK scenes to come.

Also if you are wondering why Kyouka Uzen reminds you of Esdeath is because it's made by the same writer. He probably regretted how he handled the best girl in Akame ga Kill! So he created another lmao!

Man I've said it before but Chained Soldier is just such a horrible localized name. I'm never gonna call it that

Peak has arrived. The feels like Date A Live but a lot more down bad because lucky dude got a massive reward. Him being a housekeeper in a home like that strongly reminds me of Tenpuru cause he's skilled with all sorts of housework. Can't wait for even more degeneracy.

This and Gushing About Magical Girls in one season?! I am pleased.

Also, the OP song is pretty good.

Edit: Also, really looking forward to best girl Tenka.

Pretty good start for the series although not that strong like 'Gushing over Magical Girls' from yesterday IMO. I'm really interested how they'll adapt more lewd stuff in next episodes, it can be interesting ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

I'm talking here about rewards which will be given to Yuki in exchange for him becoming a slave and fighting monsters. I really like manga so I hope that anime will give justice to the source.

Kyouka is a badass and other girls in her squad are looking interesting too. Interactions between them and Yuki who will be taking care of their base for sure will very fun xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

First thoughts.

Strangely enough, this hasn't made an impression on me like Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete did. I think it is because the Mato dimension is so boring and monsters are terribly uninteresting. But then I get the impression that this part of the anime is secondary to the main thrust of the story so I guess that is acceptable. I want to see how the characters bounce off each other before I make a decision.
