キルアオ

Reminds me of that assassin anime where I was enjoying his portion before he got isekaied. It still seems like it has potential to be interesting, it's sweet that he's enjoying learning so much. Seeing him in action at school was also interesting, looks like he'll have to be more resourceful to make up for his lack of strength.  I thought he was going to end up in the same class as his daughter so I wonder when she'll appear before him in the story. I wasn't expecting him to be working in the same organization as his ex-wife though, I'm curious what exactly made them separate.  I like how he checked his excalibur, that'll probably take some time getting used to lol. His underling acting like his mother is amusing.

Hey, so do you like Detective Conan? What if instead of a detective, he used to be an assassin? That's pretty much what Kill Blue is. As someone who's a huge fan of the manga, I'm still shocked this got an anime. In terms of performance on SJW, this was very middling, and while it still gained a following thanks to the series's humour and fun characters, this is the last series I'd ever expect from SJW to get an anime. As for the episode itself, I think this was a very strong start. It definitely establishes Ogami's character well. The dude is a divorcee who surprisingly still gets along well with his ex, whom he works with in the same organization. And despite his initial reluctance about entering middle school again for a job, he ends up loving school and realizing how much he missed out on due to being trained as an assassin at a young age. It's actually pretty adorable! I also love how he ends up saving his two classmates, who were bullying him earlier. He might be a kid now, but inside he's still a grown-ass man and isn't petty enough to hold grudges. The action scenes were pretty cool especially that quickdraw scene with Ogami trying to take down the pervert as covertly as he could. This was definitely a strong start! Studio Cue's first anime is looking great, and that OP was really good too! I did not expect them to get asepa to sing the OP! I'm really loving this trend of K-Pop groups singing anime OPs!

Honestly, between two of Jump's anime adaptation, Akane Banashi and Kill Ao, I didn't expect much from Kill Ao, but the first episode reminded me again why I got hooked to the series in the first place. And seeing the hinted characters at the opening, it totally refreshed my feelings. First thing first, this is from the mangaka of "Kuroko's Basketball". So you can expect good chemistry and highschool banters. And hell yeah, it is. The pace for the first episode is kinda solid. The transition sometimes felt abrupt due to the BGM suddenly cut off. I'm just surprised they really took the time to establish the setting. And damn, I didn't expect them to animate Juzo's hitman skill that sick, bro. I hope they can keep the quality. Also, the duo school girls are actually my favourite characters. Like, they're "unapologetic"-ly school girl-ish so it's always fun to see when they're around. You can see it by how they acted at the panda man scene and inviting Juzo scene. So far, first episode blew me out with its quality. Usually it's easy for me to not watching an anime adaptation of series that I've read beforehand, but this first episode glued me to the end. I'm looking forward to see how they'll handle the end episode of this season.

As we can see on this telemetry screen, they've been measuring the main guy's blood pressure once every 7 minutes. I'm really curious how they've been doing that, given that he doesn't have a cuff either on his arm or leg. It seems medically somewhat difficult. They also seem to be measuring blood saturation without a probe, which is equally difficult medically speaking. So is this a world where we can gather all of this data just from EKG electrodes? Do they somehow guess these numbers from the vibes given off by the heart's rhythm?

I'm just going to go ahead and say it...the ex-wife is Best Girl. The legendary hitman Ogami Juzo (Shunsuke Takeuchi!) is one of the most effective and efficient killers alive. As a member of the assassin syndicate ZOO he carries out his mission all the while maintaining a code of only taking down the most irredeemable scum he can, either with his bullets or his fists. And he's got his sidekick Nekota (Shuichiro Umeda!) by his side. But Ogami isn't just a trained killer...he's also a divorced dad who seems to still regret that he couldn't make it work with his family. Being trained at a young age to be an assassin doesn't lend itself well to being a father or family man, and his struggle with being a father seem to be the reason his marriage didn't last. But it's not like he can just restart his life or anything. Of course next thing he knows, a wasp hiding in a briefcase from his latest job stings him and then he's suddenly waking up...in a younger body as voiced by Yuko Sanpei. And who better to look him over than the ZOO's chief science analysis officer and his ex-wife, Eri (Yumi Uchiyama)? Dude pulled a certified baddie! Ogami is now a teenager again, but he has every reason to get back into the game. He's got a mortgage! Rent! And child support (even if Eri doesn't seem too concerned about that)! But right now, his next mission: is middle school! Because his boss in ZOO wants to check out his daughters' future middle school, so this doting papa is assigning his most trusted and now age appropriate agent to scope it out! And Ogami finally gets to experience the middle school life he missed! With Nekota in his ear and watching his every move, Ogami...totally bombs his introduction. I think the worst part is that he actually came back to fix it and just made it worse. But it's not like he cares about getting along with his classmates, not when he can focus...on studying! That's right! This trained and elite assassin has now been bit by the study bug! He actually enjoys learning and getting a deeper understanding of the world and everything he's seen in his life! He actually does all his homework and then some when he gets back home. Perverts are the worst, but perverts who can actually kick butt and whose sole goal in life seems to be going down after flashing his junk at girls is the absolute worst. But Panda Man isn't just hiding his dick in his undies...he's also hiding dynamite! Thankfully Ogami may not be as strong as he once was, but his skills and ability to improvise has not. Ogami may have no intention of befriending or getting along with his class, but saving the two girls who roasted him the most got him added to the class group chat, and it seems like he's slowly becoming more accepted. Which might be good because the wasp that started all of this hails from Mitsuoka Pharmaceuticals, with the heiress to said company being in his class...Nouren (Fuka Izumi). The OP is a very atmospheric and creative K-Pop number, featuring Ogami's transformation from adult to child, his adventures with his class and supporting cast, and Nouren and the entire cast dancing like it's a K-Pop music video!

I like this a lot more than I expected at first. I absolutely love Detective Conan and Sakamoto Days, and this is kind of a fusion of the two concepts. As a college student about to graduate and get into teaching, I love how Juzo is depicted to be enthralled in being able to get back into learning after experiencing a lesson for the first time in decades. We really take our access to information and ability to learn in schools for granted and it's refreshing to see Juzo loving learning.
