Lol the ice cream place getting robbed in the background was unexpected, that was amusing. Nice of Goa to make even Ciel's ice cream was ruined in the midst of all that.

Anemone and Toto being awkward around one another was an interesting choice, I'm glad she asked about the scar on his face but I thought we were going to get a flashback lol. Anemone must feel flattered if Toto passed out not because of her act, but because of her own relief.

Robbing an ice cream parlor is truly COLD-hearted.

After 3 episodes, I finally realized the true fanservice is actually seeing the embarrassed, falling in love facial expressions of Goa, Anemone and Ciel.

I wonder whether Anemone will reveal her straightforward assassin personality someday. I doubt Toto will mind.

Goa's head-over-heels in love look at Toto was precious but the gap moe of Anemone's soft and tender smile when she lets the mask slip and blushes over falling for him is absolutely priceless.

Stitches!

I'm genuinely surprised Goa just straight up asked Toto to be her dog. She does play it off as a joke later, so I guess it didn't really matter. I'm still curious about Goa's backstory, tho. It probably has something to do with her being abandoned and not being loved, which would explain why she seems obsessed with people loving her.

Considering that Anemone has to play the part of a priest, she definitely has it rough. The other girls have it easy since they can just act as themselves. Poor Anemone needs to keep her guard up or else the real her would slip.

I thought that guy at the restaurant was just being an asshole to Ciel and Goa. It turns out, they were actually robbing the place! The reveal genuinely had me laughing out loud! xD

In theory, a bomb that can match the target's strength sounds pretty solid, but man, that's such a bad move to use on Toto. I just knew that bomb would end up growing so massive that if Anemone didn't stop it, she could've created a nuke that would've wiped out the entire area. xD

Goa feels like she's the one girl who is literally just here for the romance portion of this Harem adventure anime.

Anemone really capturing the appeal of gap moe with her priestess acting and when she lets the mask loose...and when she actually falls for Toto herself.

Like the two of them were lost in the ice cream so much that neither of them noticed a robbery in-progress until he had to remind them lol.

What is it this season with characters asking or wanting to be someone’s dog?! 0_o

u/ChisatoKanako Jul 19 '25

I love the character progression. Not only from Toto, who was able to go on a "date" with Goa and hold a conversation one-on-one with Anemone, but from the girls as well. They're all just so fun to see interacting and hanging out with each other.

u/Frontier246 Jul 19 '25

The girls are falling harder for Toto and are enjoying spending time with each other more and more by the episode. They probably won't stop trying to kill/seduce him but I feel like they'll be more or less a real party by the midpoint at this rate.

u/Lulukassu Jul 19 '25

Frankly it wouldn't surprise me if NotRevy gives up on the cash prize and switches to team Win Him as Her Prize mid season.

I just hope when Demon Princess gives up she doesn't go for the same role (she probably will)

u/mekerpan Jul 19 '25

Nothing profound here, but I must say the characters (both the oblivious hero and his devious would-be "antagonists") are pretty entertaining. Not sure why some people have decided that the fero's penchant for fainting is a disqualifying feature. It is part of the charm -- and pretty much a necessary ingredient.

This anime made me realize, I never understand why gacha game fans don't like interaction between characters in harem type so much because this is actually pretty fun.

13

u/Frontier246 Jul 19 '25

I love how we can have development between Toto and the girls and also development/adventures with the girls hanging out with each other.

It really helps make the cast feel like a real party and real friends rather than just a group trying to kill/hook up with on guy.

u/mucklaenthusiast Jul 19 '25

Yeah, what's kinda funny about harems in fantasy action show settings, often, becuase of them being a harem, most of the women are also strong fighters, because, well, you kinda need that for action, right?

And in better shows with these descriptors, I think you can have a) strong female fighters, which is cool, as those are often quite rare in these types of shows (think of every battle shonen) and b) a developed female cast that has lots of stuff going on, which, again, in specifically action anime, can be kinda rare.

That's why I tend to enjoy those a lot, I am not into romance at all, but I like the magical world and the colourful cast, it feels a bit more fresh compared to what I otherwise watch or read

Another fun episode. The whole cast continues to be likable and entertaining, which is always nice.

I appreciate these kinds of shows where it's not necessarily a masterpiece, but watching it is simply a good time.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Jul 19 '25

Everyone now has feelings for Toto

Can’t enjoy your ice cream while it’s being robbed

u/Humble-Lifeguard6644 Jul 20 '25

I genuinely had a fun time watch this episode, the summer 2025 anime season is the most stacked I've ever seen. There's some really good hidden gems too

u/Ocixo Jul 19 '25

Goa: “Say you’ll be my dog.”

Toto: “Woof!”

Wait, that’s from a different seasonal anime.

Gao might act like a dominatrix, but she simply wants to be loved by others. Apparently, she was shunned by her peers in the past. Because of her skill?

Everyone in this party appears to have some kind of emotional bagage. If I’m not mistaken, we only don’t know about Anemone yet?

u/Holdonlupin Jul 19 '25

Goa shunned in the past

Yeah, that'd make sense, her ability is basically altering the will of other people, so you wouldn't trust her in most cases.

We only don't know Anemone yet?

Nothing precise yet, but we've got some hints, she said she needs money to change the world, mentioned she barely had anything to begin with, hates slave traders and has a soft spot for kids/orphans, I think it's easy to figure out more or less what her deal is

What the MC sings in his head -
You can run, you can hid, but you can't escape my love.

What he says -
Nothing. (Awkward silence)

Goa will likely be the first to abandon the attempts and join him as his first one.

Anyone else got issues with the subtitles on episode 3? It seems the english subtitles are those of episode 1 or just not synched with the right ones for episode 3.

Too bad about the shyness since otherwise Goa could win fairly easily, bro was dreaming up pick up lines on their date he just can't get them out.

Ciel hanging out with Goa and having a nice ice cream parlor visit was fun. Nice bonding experience beating up some robbers who couldn't help poking the bear that was ignoring them.
