I liked this one a lot. It’s got a bit of spy x family and a bit of househusband, and the action is well-done. It had a couple fat jokes that I didn’t really like, but ultimately the anime seems to be saying that Sakamoto is living his best life, even if he isn’t a bishounen anymore. I was also relieved that he did eventually speak, because he was silent long enough that I was worried that was his thing, lol. Overall it was a lot of fun and I look forward to more. I give the premiere a 4/5.

Incredible premiere, I know a third of the manga and the story is very fun and exciting. It started off great with excellent flow in the action. It’s unthinkable to see the original Sakamoto turned into a family man, but even as a chubby guy, he still retains his assassin essence. Shin was also introduced as his executioner but grew fond of Sakamoto after failing to kill him, and now he’s his disciple/servant, lol.

My friend’s dad looks almost exactly like the main character. He looks overweight but also his arms are super packed. It makes it even more fun to watch.

@wjs018@ani.social Not really sure what’s going on with the schedule for this one. It looks like 2 episodes are streaming in Japan, but the TV broadcast and international streaming only got 1. Not sure if Japan streaming will stay a week ahead or if it will skip next week or what.

Also, the ep 2 thread isn’t showing up for me when I browse the community (by new), though I can get to it by clicking the crossposted to link. Not sure what the issue is.

I got impatient and read the first 3 chapters of the manga before the anime aired. This first episode has lived up to my expectations.
