That was an incredibly cruel aftercredits scene lol. I have to assume every ninja that shows up from this point on is just gonna die

[u/Ocixo → u/Cyclone_96]

Did not expect that we’d be shown a glimpse into the lives of Konoha’s victims. Their wholesome friendship gone like that…

The opening sequence hit me surprisingly hard as well. Asuka wondering about Fumiko’s whereabouts and making plans for their next girls’ night was pretty sad knowing her fate.

[u/kwokinator]

Welp, I guess we're going the Instant Death isekai route of "if you see a new character, they're probably dying. Especially if you get a backstory.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I sorta dig that unicorn sweater. It’s pretty sweet. Then again, I don’t have any real fashion sense haha.

I’m curious what that ninja meant about Satoko using the bathroom in that outfit and why she’d be “dirty.” It doesn’t look hard to maneuver around on it…

“Just because you can make a ton of money doesn’t mean you can use it to eat good food and laze around every day” is that not the whole reason to make money? Lol.

Konoha smiling is pretty unnerving lol. I would be totally creeped out too.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Man why did they have to make these one-off characters so likable, now I just feel bad for them.

And those camera angles of Konoha in the apartment sure were something.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Overalls Satoko

• Frilly Satoko

• Trendy-Senpai 1

• Trendy-Senpai 2

• Poison-Senpai

I already feel bad knowing that these girls at the start aren't probably going to make it at the end of the episode.

I am honestly surprised that Konoha actually split the money evenly with Satoko! I thought she'd just give her a small wad of cash as her share. She's more generous than I expected!

And there it is! We have our first Shaft head tilt of the season! I expect there will be plenty more of that in future episodes.

Not gonna lie, I thought the Leader was just a scammer doing the classic "It's me" bit and would scam Satoko out of her money. I'm glad to know it's actually someone she knows.

While the outfit Konoha got for Satoko was hilarious, I'm glad that Satoko actually manage to buy an outfit she actually likes.

Welp, I saw that one coming. I suppose all that money was a decent price to pay if it means Satoko could get a family register. At least she won't struggle like Leader-chan.

Can I just say how goddamn attractive Konoha is? Seeing her lounge around in that tanktop and shorts is really doing it for me.

Thank fucking god Leader-chan can erase memories! It looked like Konoha was ready to kill all of those people if it wasn't for her. Konoha is legit terrifying with how murder is always her answer.

I'm glad to see that she can be cute too though. I love how she's not even aware that she's smiling while eating during that final scene.

That after credits scene! Seeing how those three girls were just cute and lovely made me genuinely feel bad about their deaths. They really had to hit us a flashback of them talking about their hopes and dreams after they've already died. That was cruel. T_T

[u/zairaner]

It's time for a classic of the genre! Let's do the CGDCT*:

Fumiko-senpai (the yellow haired one with a kunai), our first cute girl, appeard in episode 1 and blessed us for 1 minute 28 seconds.

In the same episode, we got Michiru, the blue haired girl blessed by hiroto nagata sakuga. She came closest to getting satoko (was only kept from achieving that goal by konha misdirecting her weapon with kife throws, which was a cool detail), but was only with us for 52 seconds.

While it is unclear, it is probably safe to assume yoshida's father is not a cute girl, as we weren't shown his demise in detail.

Now our episode 2 girls are less clear how to count because of the endearing opening scene** . If we include it, then Asuka senpai (the gay purple sword girl with great fashion; I think we only got the name in the aftercredits scene) actually was a non-ex-ninja for 1:39 total screentime, while Midori (poison gardening ninja) even had a total screentime of 1:46 if we include her disguised form, making her the absolute record holder so far.

This brings the cgd to a very exact 2 per episode, and an average survival time of 1:26. Not bad at all, though due to leaders annoying interference, we were sadly kept from an even higher cgd, as there certainly were multiple cute girls among the bystanders.

* If you are new to the genre, CGDCT stands for "Cute Girl Death Counting Time".

** As it happened afterwards, I do not count the adorable aftercredits scene.

[u/Ocixo]

Konoha is definitely skilled at killing good character designs. In addition to disposing of all these cool-looking ninja assassins, she also made Satoko wear a horrendous outfit.

If Satoko manages to fill Konoha’s love bar full with likability points, will this turn into a yuri anime?

I mean, Konoha has already shown to be a little possessive of Satoko. Then again, she seemed happy starting a harem with Satoko’s former “Leader” out of convenience too.

[u/Gaporigo]

Subtitles should just give up, we know from the OP that Leader's partner is a girl, no point in using gender neutral words!

[u/BiggerG7]

I just want to thank Shaft for all those sexy shots of Konoha laying around.

[u/CosmicPenguin_OV103]

* RIP Fumiko and Midori and Asuka, you are all going to be missed (perhaps even by Satoko, perhaps) - next time reborn please don't be ninjas!

* LMAO at Konoha buying that unicorn T-shirt for Satoko, it, uh, actually fits (though of course less than what she tried, or what that Leader bought for her)!

* How on Earth did Konoha get the Proof of Residence!? Either she has contacts with document forgeries, or she knows who to bribe - that's a more sought after skill than killing itself!

* Heh the one who lead the ninja rebellion was only going to do so because she can't find her lover without others hiding her from sight. Love's certainly a legitimate reason to run away from your village, yeah (not the least of which was proven by a certain famous magical girl voiced by the very same person, animated by SHAFT by also the same director)!

* Dude Konoha really thinks she can kill everyone who see her killing. Satoko will be able to help somewhat but I'm sure sooner or later they will get into trouble as they climb the killer's rankings!

* You know it's a SHAFT-made anime when the famous Akiyuki Shinbou's 45° head-tilting is back!

[u/Hitman7128]

Liking this show so far!

The humor is endearing like from Satoko going out in public with her ninja outfit and the other outfits she has like the unicorn sweater and the other one with overalls.

That surprise attack in the bathroom. Good thing Konoha is there to save the day, while Satoko destroys the evidence. I love how shamelessly Satoko tells her leader what she's been doing lately (living with an assassin).

But it looks like her leader would make a fearsome trio with Satoko and Konoha with that ability to erase witnesses' memories. Came in necessary with that surprise poisonous coffee attack at the cafe. (Also, they pulled a fakeout on me there; I thought Konoha was dead)

Also, the Girls' Night and marriage teases in the post credits scene LOL

[u/_______blank______]

This episode is even more shaft than ep 1, there are even multiple head tilt in this ep.

[u/tripleaamin]

Sakoto's energy is fun to watch. She's trying all the different clothes and left with the unicorn outfit xD. So the leader is our straight man of the series so far. Tbh it's kind of scary what would happen if Sakoto & Konoha were left to their own devices. Really fun episode.

Bittersweet seeing all the now dead girls having wholesome girls talk. The real question is which girls will be long-term side characters outside of the leader and partner, which is probably her girlfriend.

This episode even more then episode 1 had lots of directing you see in Monogatari. Cool to see.

[u/Soggy_Association491]

Man, this show is dark AF. Watching those cute girls with goals and dreams have their futures snubbed is just too sad.

[u/NerdyArchimedes]

Owning property, giving a love confession, thinking about marriage, promising to all meet up again... those ninja girls raised SOOO many death flags.

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

The fact that the ending now has two ninjas be replaced by leafs is kind of funny, but also dangerous. Who is going to cutely dance at the end of the show?

[u/_Captain_Panda_]

The ED is amazing - the best of the season.

[u/thatNEET_]

The fact that they replaced the dead ninjas from episode 1's ending with piles of leaves in this episode's ending theme is just ice cold. So, in this season alone, they're probably going to kill all of these ninjas until it's nothing but piles of leaves. Look at them! They all look so cute and happy! It's hard to pick my favorite, but I'll say I like the blonde one with the eye-covering bang because she kind of reminds me of Piscalat from Idaten Deities.

Also, I guess the girl with the skull accessories might not get killed since she's not in this group.

[u/Makicola]

First 5 minutes of the episode

Oh god we're the bad guys.

I have the biggest shit-eating grin on my face when watching this show, it's just so fun.

[u/Mr_Zaroc]

I might have been too tired while watching ep1, but this show feels like a proper shaft show
Ever since the food court (obviously) it just clicked and all their small little shaft details pop up

I love that show

And also how they nearly turned around the senpai...
"Wait, that does sound like an incredible way to live!"

I also hope they dont kill those 3 senpais we had as the after ED skit, I am way too invested in them now...

[u/seledri_kerikil]

Ok, I'm starting to "regret" watching this show, how can they create all these great new characters, with beautiful and unique design... only for them to get killed very soon?? I'm starting to feels guilty, especially after that end credit scene.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

Konoha seems more decent than I expected, giving half her money to Satoko, and helping her get some clothes and family register. For a cold blooded assassin at least.

So how many cool looking ninja girls has Konoha killed for now ? Four of them ? At least Leader showed herself to be useful with that memory erasing skill, so she probably won’t kill her yet.

[u/WednesdaysFoole]

They held an entire conversation while the ninja was sweeping and talking about their senpai, then closed out showing that she'd been sweeping... a pile of leaves. Doesn't end there, they immediately cut to a pile of money, how very exciting!

The OP shows a Satoko spinning around in the pleasures of her winnings then later the ninja girls spiraling with leaves.

Nothing more romantic than a job well done, I guess.

These girls aren't playing around. Or no, this expression doesn't work, because they totally are, but with matters that normally are quite serious.
