Can a Decent Protagonist Save My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s From Isekai Mediocrity? – All the News and Reviews from Anime NYC 2025

Anime adaptation pine mai akaiLight novels, My status as an assassin obviously exceeds that of a heroscheduled to premiere in October 2025. crunchyroll The premiere captured two episodes of Isekai anime filter. Animation sunrisethe original trailer showed the visuals of the standard animation and had a smooth, clean character design.

The story comes after high school student Akira Oda and his classmates who end up calling up another world through a magical circle. They all get unique features, and they can check SP, HP, and skills in game-like interfaces. However, Akira seems to gain the tedious ability of an impressive assassin. His world changed as his identity suddenly rose to his most powerful career, he was framed for murder and later forced to run away to avoid prosecution.

At first glance, the clean color of the character design looks like Code geass. The still character footage is very detailed because they don’t move much in the first two plots due to the elaboration and exploration of world building. As these two plots introduce a series of characters to the audience, Akira has little emotional attachment and participation before the situation begins. For now, he was worried about how he would return to his mother and sister’s home (but not desperate), but he had bigger problems to solve, as calling his royals gave him and his classmates more reserves.

Although some shots are visually shocking, they remain still in the first episode. Of course, even the best animated wonders will find shortcuts – a wide range of landscapes such as panning and displaying landscapes – to save budget and focus on important actions. However, at least one brief battle between two episodes should contain the weight of the animation team’s abilities. Even when Akira and Amelia fight the dragon, the entire sequence doesn’t reach fist as the character stands with the camera trembling and the energy beam will do most of the work. It can be said that the most powerful asset of this story is Akira as the protagonist. His keenness and quick thinking are different from his classmates who are aligned with the New World. When his classmates became unstable, despite lack of physical signs, he called on the mage to disperse the curse to him. Despite their roles as heroes, assassins and mages, he discovers what another knight has in common, and he tells him that the king has ulterior motives. Although Akira was framed for killing his friends, their allies were laid off and he was forced to retreat deep in the dungeon to upgrade.

Even if the animation isn’t enough to write home, Chula’s character development is possible and his relationship with his classmates. They take things into their own hands and seek to find Akira instead of inside castle walls like NPC. Although they continue to train and train with his new elf companion Amelia and fall into the dungeon, it may take time to catch up with Akira.

Overall, RPG elements (such as careers and special abilities) are thought out and have an impact on the story. They blend in with the drama of mean political plots, but according to the first two episodes, the live transition (like the development of the story) is clumsy. Unfortunately, presentations and pacing are within the range of expectations for the Isekai type in 2025.
