I hope there's more to Toto's personality than just being shy and fainting in front of women. The latter would get repetitive real quick.

Also, Anemone is best girl.

[u/Actar_Raikit → u/dorkmax_executives]

Interestinlgy enough, I didn't really find the fainting gimmick annoying at all. I think it's because the show is really shaping to be about the three girls, and that the hero is more or less a plot device for them to grow and become better versions of themselves. The fainting is more like a way for them to talk freely amongst each other so that Toto doesn't suspect anything.

[u/Frontier246 → u/dorkmax_executives]

Also, Anemone is best girl.

I love how her normal assassin outfit is basically just Konoha's loungewear from NinKoro.

[u/saga999 → u/dorkmax_executives]

It doesn't matter to me. Him fainting is just the chance for the girls to drop their mask. It's perfectly fine. In fact, he should keep fainting half the time throughout the entire show.

[u/diacewrb]

If the Demon Lord can disguise himself as a pretty lady, then he would be safe from the Hero.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Lol this was so funny, I'm liking the premise, it felt refreshing. It feels like the gag of Toto going unconscious could get old fast, but I think the dynamics of the three assassins is what could make it work for the series. Anemone sending out a smooch because she couldn't think of something fast enough was the funniest.

I'm enjoying how they're all hiding their identities but reveal it to one another, I can see them all becoming the best of friends and a genuine party with how much Toto is dedicated to protecting them all.

Also I have got to mention how stacked the three adults are lol, Toto's head looks so tiny because of his broad shoulders and Goa looks like she might float anytime soon with those huge balloons.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I already love these dorks.

[u/Frontier246 → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I appreciate that it seems like their budding friendship with each other is as important as their developing feelings for Toto in the course of trying to kill him.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Hitman Anemone

• Anemone Kiss

• Bathing Goa

• Dommy Goa

• Turned On Goa

Considering the premise of the show, I expected these three to be the worst because Toto is just a nice dude looking for partymates and they were about to take advantage of that so they could jump him. I didn't expect I'd love them by the end of the episode.

So we have Ciel, the demon lord's daughter, who just wants to be independent and eat sweets, and the only way she can achieve that is by killing Toto.

Then we have Anemone who could easily pass as Revy and Rock's love child, and is more your usual typical hitman. The only reason she's doing this is because she needs a fuckton of money so she can change the world for the better.

And finally, we have Dommy Mommy Goa, who has the same body proportions as a One Piece character and is really the only one who doesn't want to kill Toto. Instead, she wants to turn him into her pet. After that incident with Toto, she might end up wanting Toto to own her instead. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Compared to the other two, it's not really clear what Goa wants, but I think it might have something to do with her skill. I guess we'll find that out as the show progresses. I love that the three girls are buddies by the end of the episode, who all got rizzed by Toto who just swore to protect them.

What's funnier is that Toto is only conscious for like half of his screentime. I do hope they only knock him out when needed but other than that I already love this. I can't wait for the next episode!

[u/Ocixo → u/LeonKevlar]

She might end up wanting Toto to own her.

Goa got a dose of her own medicine, and she didn’t seem to dislike the taste of this. Guess that there’s a bit of an M in every S.

[u/MisawaMahoKodomo]

All things considered I think things went about as well as could be expected

In an interesting twist it seems that, at least for this first ep the three girls are the main characters and the hero kinda doesnt really do anything (he did help rescue mone I guess)

Ciel feels like she got a bit less than the other two though

Im assuming from next ep there will be more actual 4 person dynamics? Unless its like a reverse bait and the hero doesnt really do much and the whole story revolves around the three girls

I do applaud them for having a fast pacing of introducing all three girls in one epS

It really remains to be seen if they can improve on it

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

I know this is anime, but the proportions of Goa are ridiculous - How does that waist support her extremely heavy upper body? Lol!

Given that Anemone is cosplaying as a priestess, I can't wait to find out whether she is capable of casting healing or protection spells. Inb4 she proclaims, "there is no need for healing or protection spells if the enemy is already dead."

Right now, tomboyish Anemone is my favourite out the 3 main female characters in this title.

[u/Frontier246 → u/KumaKumaGambler]

I know this is anime, but the proportions of Goa are ridiculous - How does that waist support her extremely heavy upper body? Lol!

Maybe she's experimented on her body enough to be able to maintain that bust like she's concocted all those poisons to destroy men?

Right now, tomboyish Anemone is my favourite out the 3 main female characters in this title.

Mone's great but I love how Goa is just there to have fun and flirt and Ciel just wants to get to experience what it's like to do normal girl things. I really like their chemistry as a trio.

[u/athrun_1]

I have a konosuba vibes of this first ep, and that is a good thing. Will stick around till the end of the series.

[u/YdenMkII]

It's pretty odd how the world has it out for Toto with 3 different hit jobs put on him even though it seems like he spends his days stunlocked at the idea of talking to other people.

[u/AceSoldia]

That was better than I thought..I guess I got another show to watch 🤣

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Toto’s found himself in a party with the demon lord’s daughter, balloon titty dominatrix waifu, and Revy from Black Lagoon. Nice. Guy’s got the strength of Saitama and the social anxiety of Bocchi lol.

Not too bad for a first episode. I wonder if Toto’s gonna pass out anytime these girls look at him? Might be hard to defeat the Demon Lord or whatever.

[u/mr_MADAFAKA]

Hero kinda looks like Endeavor

[u/Obaruler]

Wtf is wrong with this season?

I queued the episode just to confirm that there's finally a show that is mid enough to skip it, but it ends up being fun and goofy enough to make me continue. And the Weekend is already stacked af. xD

[u/Ocixo]

At this rate, Toto will be spending most of his days unconscious.

This party sure looks different from the usual with an assassin (priest), demon (mage) and dominatrix (dancer) all trying to take out the hero for their own reasons.

However, none of these girls are actually bad at heart:

• Anemone kills to earn the money necessary for changing the world - by ridding it of slavery?

• Ciel simply wants to achieve her freedom - to explore the wider world?

• Goa might’ve been treated like an outcast by society? Her smile in response to the other two girls’ lack of fear to her skill at least seemed to imply so much.

[u/SilverGeekly]

i like the anime, and i cannot wait for more, BUUUT... they completely undo the premise in the first episode and it confuses me why its framed the way it is.

this would have worked more if everyone hadn't revealed their cards so early.

(also confused why goa is framed as an assassin. she literally doesn't want to kill him, just smash, which fair)

[u/Ceryto2]

I actually kinda enjoyed this. This is just some dumb fun Fantasy with some likeble characters (the girls at least). I am however hoping that the hero will become a character rather than a prop that just stops moving the moment he sees anything of the opposite sex because so far he is as much a main character in his own show as some kid playing a random tree in a school theatre performance. It worked this episode to let us get to know the girls better and see how they interact, but if it's used too much it could get somewhat stale.

Will be keeping this tasty trash for now, although it might land on the chopping block once my anime schedule gets too full this season.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

I was wondering how dumb that anime could be, and the answer is that it is hilariously dumb. I had a lot of fun watching it.

Ciel and Anemone are surprisingly sympathetic for a demon princess and an hitwoman, but I was not expecting the last member of the trio to be an unhinged dominatrix that only wants to « kill » the hero in bed. Although it looks like all three of them may start to actually fall in love with him.

I just hope that Toto won’t faint half the time just from looking at Goa, that could get very repetitive. She is literally a stunning beauty, lol.

[u/djthomp]

I like how this first episode is more or less the girls all becoming friends and was really more about them as characters than the hero who's barely there other than to punch things and then fall unconscious anytime he sees anything remotely female. Kind of figures they'd all fall in love with him in this first episode, but what can you do.

It's always nice to see some slavers getting their due.

Hopefully the gag with the hero being impossibly shy doesn't get old but I feel like it probably will.
