REVIEW WITH SPOILER
VISUALS and CHARACTERS
The visuals are honestly above average. The way they build the fantasy world looks great, the cinematography really stands out. The fight scenes, like in the dungeon, elf kingdom, and beast kingdom, all look amazing. Even the non-fight scenes, like Akira and Amelia’s date in the beast kingdom, feel super immersive. Some CGI parts like the fountain are noticeable, but still fine overall. Character designs are also nice not repetitive at all. You can clearly tell which race or kingdom each character is from. Even the NPCs are well made they actually have eyes and small interactions that make the world feel alive.
STORY and DEVELOPMENT
The story is not very special. It uses the usual "teleported to another world and becomes overpowered” idea. The problem is the title focuses on the word assassin, but Akira doesn’t act like one. An assassin should kill silently and quickly, but Akira fights head on, everyone knows his title “Silent Assassin,” and the worst he even struggles to kill people. It’s fine if he’s a high schooler who feels bad about killing, but the way it’s told doesn’t make sense. His personality is cold and emotionless, yet he refuses to kill anyone it’s a big contradiction. Amelia (The Princess Elf) also makes things worse with her overly kind and naive behavior, so the story goes nowhere. Even in the last episode, when Akira finally decide kills someone, for me it feels empty and emotionless. The scene with Saran (the Captain) should’ve been dramatic, but it wasn’t. Yoru (the cat) also doesn’t make sense he appear becomes a dungeon boss, serves the Demon Lord loses, then instantly becomes Akira’s loyal partner. His change happens too fast and it feels shallow. Next is about the hero party. Before the teleportation, they didn’t care about Akira at all, no one even talked to him except Kyousuke (The Samurai Guy), and that was only because their sisters were friends. But after the teleportation, they suddenly care too much about him and act like they can’t do anything without him. It doesn’t make sense, because their stats aren’t that weak they even have the “Hero Class,” which is supposed to be one of the most overpowered classes. The Demon Lord is also inconsistent first he wants Akira then he doesn’t, then he wants Akira alive then not. Even though the Demon Lord has his own reasons, his inconsistent changes make him look like he has no conviction.
Favorite Character
If I had to pick a favorite, it’d be Latticenail (The Demon Lord’s Daughter). She’s way different from what you’d expect from a “demon.” She’s naive and doesn’t want to see killing right in front of her, but at the same time, she knows some bad people just need to die. So she simply walks away and pretends she doesn’t know anything which actually makes her kind of interesting.
