4/10

Ah... here we go again.

From the creator of Redo of Healer, we have an interesting plotline with a somewhat unique main character and the same trappings and mistakes most shows of this genre offer.

The main character is the best assassin the world has to offer. He dies age 60 and gets reincarnated into another world, guess the first thing he does... If you thought he creates a harem of girls that want to bang him every waking second, then you got it right. The most unbearable part is, this guy is actually 60 years old and you see him partake in sexually explicit scenarios with underage girls. He also wants to marry his cousin. Yeah... It's that kind of a show.

The main plotline is interesting but with each episode you realize you're not supposed to be watching this for the story as it deviates and goes on tangents for the entire show, showing you the lives of secondary characters that you don't care about.

Here is everything that is wrong:

1. This show contains very strong subjects such as pedophilia, sexual exploitation of minors and rape. All of these themes are not taken seriously and you can feel the author included them just to be edgy.
2. The characters are messed up, the main character is in love with his underage cousin, the other girls are bland and uninspired stereotypes which whole purpose is to show how attractive the main character is.
3. The show forgets the main plotline of assassinating the hero.
4. With each episode it gets progressively worse.

Here is everything that I liked:

1. The dad of the protagonist is a great character.
2. It has good music.
3. It looks decent the first 4 episodes, then it gets bad.

4/10 very unremarkable and the few good aspects it had were misused and wasted.

You've reached the end.
