English Dub Review: The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat “Residence of Girls”

Overview

However, an orphanage captures the girls and forces them to move into the facility. Motivated by subsidies, the orphanage puts the girls to work and even worse…


Our Take

As teased in the intro of this series, this episode introduces the character Maha. To put it mildly, her upbringing is far from a “hard knock life”. Being the daughter of a successful merchant Maha knows her way in the business world and after her parents died, she became an orphan and with the help of her small circle of Orphan friends, was able to survive due to her knowledge of the business world.

However Maha and her circle of orphan friends are soon captured and it’s disturbingly implied that they were randomly sold to child prostitution, it was very sad what happened to the girls throughout the episode’s proceedings, though It predictably ended the way I thought it would while furthering the development of Maha as a character and properly explaining how Lugh somehow fits into all this.

Overall, most of this episode was bleak and left me very uncomfortable during some parts of it. Yet the proceedings were also very tense and well developed. Considering this show is also by Rui Tsukiyo the same author who did the light novel that also later became an anime called “Redo of Healer” I’m not even surprised at all that he’d go back to his roots in highlighting the worst of humanity. I already had a feeling everything there were red flags when the sudden rain poured their fun in the beginning. Though it kind of surprised me, how it tied into the main story that lead to a sort-of happy ending for them even if it felt a bit bittersweet…
