Along with many others, I had heard the hype surrounding this show and found myself to be pretty excited about it! That was, until I actually watched it. Gone was the show full of cool action scenes and cute family moments that I'd hoped for, replaced with a bland, decent, action anime.

My Main Issue

This may be a unique issue I have with the show compared to many other people, but what I don't like is the lack of Sakamoto as a father. We're told he's quit his life as an assassin to settle down with his family, so why do I rarely ever see him with his family? Sure, there are some moments spent with them, and I do like those quite a lot. But they're not an integral part of the show, which kind of just makes it feel like the family aspect is going to waste. An assassin father who protects his family could be really sweet and cute, yet I never see that. Instead, it's just another bland character fighting.

The Pretty Boring Story and Characters__ Along with the anime lacking a family aspect, it lacks a story as well. Right now, the entire story can be summed up as guy fights assassins who are after him with the help of other fairly bland characters. It's incredibly underwhelming. It's not horrible, but it's not very engaging. It's the perfect kind of story to have on in the background while doing homework or something, and that's because it's not very interesting.

I've already emphasized how boring the characters are, but I will say, I do like Shin. I think he's a cute character, there's not all that much else to my opinion on him. He's just my favorite character and one of the main reasons I completed the anime. I just like seeing him.

It's Underwhelming

This was supposed to be a great action anime, and maybe I just had my expectations too high, but this animation and art style aren't great. It's not horrible or anything, but it doesn't stand out in the slightest. It reminds me of One Punch Man season 2 more than anything. The character designs are similar, and the animation doesn't have too much movement, instead having lines going over it to look like movement.

I also really dislike the opening. It's very forgettable and doesn't really fit an action anime at all. It's not a bad opening, but it's just not very fitting for this sort of story.

I should be a little more positive... I don't want to be too negative. It's not a bad anime. As I stated earlier, I do like the moments of Sakamoto with his family and I do like Shin. It's an enjoyable anime and one that you can just relax and watch without having to be super engaged. It's just not great. I'm currently watching season two, so it's clearly good enough for me to continue watching. It's just not wowing. I like the anime as background noise for when I'm doing homework or drawing. But beyond that, it's just okay.
