My Review of "I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time"!
This show makes me want to buy maracas.
Story
The story follows Alina, a guild receptionist who wants to clock out on time. However, she’s forced to work overtime everyday because of the extra work created by guilds and dungeons. With a special ability and a secret outfit, Alina dons the name of “Executioner” to try to cut down any force that could give her overtime. However, a certain guild ends up crossing paths with Alina, which ends up leading to chaos.
format(webp))Characters
Alina is determined to keep her life as a guild receptionist and her life as the “Executioner” a secret. Her entire goal is to just avoid overtime and clock out on time. Later on, Alina crosses paths with Jade, Lululee, and Lowe, who are all members of a popular guild. Lowe and Lululee are very friendly and both contribute to the team with their own aspects of magic. Jade is the main leader and attacker of the guild. He and his guild usually need the assistance of Alina to take down powerful opponents.
The Good
I like the idea of a guild receptionist being a really powerful being in disguise. It’s unique and it created a couple of humorous and entertaining scenes throughout the anime. Speaking of humor, that was probably the main highlight of the anime. Her only goal in life is to have a day without overtime. I mean, who would want overtime in the first place? The OP of the anime is majestic. The animation is so fluid and beautiful (also she mews so extra bonus points there). I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love the catchiness and “brain rot-ness” of the ED. It’s fun, engaging, and an absolute vibe.
The Bad
I’m going to be honest, despite how obvious it was, I could not get onboard with the romance that this anime had. It actually lost me at that part when it essentially became one of the main focuses of the story. I don’t believe that the romance was necessary or beneficial in helping out what was the main story and just ended up ruining the quality of the execution quite a bit. A little nitpick I have is the contrast between the OP and the actual show in terms of animation. The OP feels way more fluid and detailed than the actual episodes, and it kinda throws me off. Another nitpick I have is towards the ending. I felt that the action was very lackluster and cut too short to make space for what seems like a potential S2? I don’t know. I’m probably going to watch it if it’s announced.
The Downright Ugly
Mmmm yeah I don’t think there’s anything downright ugly about this anime.
Is It Worth The Watch?
Hmm…. I’m not really sure. Is it a nice anime? Yeah. However, is it something you really need to go out of your way to watch? I wouldn’t say so. I guess it’s not really worth the watch.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. ^^
