I could not even watch the second episode bro. I was actually stunned and I watch everything. I've seen Goblin Slayer, and this broke me. So disheartening to see the shameless murder. At least Goblin Slayer was about getting vengeance, this just seems like gratuitous violence. Maybe one day when I've lost all humanity will I finish the anime. I wanted to stop watching at 9:35 but I had there would be a good reason for the MC's actions. It seem like the show wants us to think that the MC made the best and only option. But there is always another way and the kid seemed up to being a team of some sort, maybe a recruitment sort of thing. I just feel that it could have been handled with a bit more tact or fineness.
One of the worst animes I've seen in years. No original plot, no profound meaning, no character growth. Just a generic world of tragedy with MCs who are slaves to a system, one with their eyes wide open and another an emotionless husk we have to try and empathize with and excuse her actions because she's a love interest. She's so terribly written. Im not sure what the creative process looked like while writing this story but there were some major mistakes. Hands down one of the worst stories in existence. Can't believe it was actually considered. There's trash then there is this. Can't believe someone would make this into an anime.
One of the risks you take going into a light novel adaptation these days is whether or not the anime is just going to end up as a glorified commercial for the books. Y'all know what I mean; it's when you have cool characters in a great story that run smack into a cliffhanger that may not ever be resolved with another season, which means that your only options are to seek out the books (and that's if you're lucky enough to have localized versions of the books to turn to). All of this is to say that I never expected the ending of The Executioner and Her Way of Life to feel especially conclusive, but I sure was preparing myself to at least be underwhelmed. Thankfully, the anime does a great job of wrapping up the current storyline while still leaving room for lots more intrigue and tragedy down the road, which is basically everything you could ask for in a finale for a season that may or may not ever get a proper follow up.
I'll be honest: I have a really hard time getting into light novels, since I've never been impressed with the writing in any of the ones that I've read before, and I haven't heard great things about the quality of Executioner's prose, specifically. Still, it says something that I liked the anime version of The Executioner and Her Way of Life enough that I'm halfway considering giving the novels a shot anyways. It wasn't a perfect series, but it's fascinating characters and world were wrapped up in a genuinely compelling story, and that's more than enough to earn my seal of approval. All we can do now is pray that there is just a little bit of justice in this world. If a godforsaken curse like The Fruit of Evolution can get a second season, then there is no reason that Executioner can't get one as well.

I saw many isekai shonen anime & 80 % of them relay same concept & style. But glad this is one totally different with deep sense and of course after long time. This first episode of "Executioner and her way of life" has a solid start with unique concept & to what looks like nothing but a villainess/murderous aura style, but plays it safe in regards to what's in store for other episodes.
After watching first episode i have this anime 9/10 rating. No unnecessary drama & best story line-up won the show. I'm sure Good story with interesting mysterious plots of this anime will take big turn in future of their animators to bring second season. Desperately waiting for it.
Good luck and thanks for bringing this in todays anime world where 60-70% anime based on same type of story lineups.

I don't get why the rating is so low. After tons of same isekai stories this one has pleasantly surprised me. I was ready to drop it halfway through the first episode, but then I finally got what I searched for - isekai yuri anime with strong female lead not afraid of blood and unusual fantasy world. I saw some people judging the mc for her violent actions and it honestly makes me laugh. The title kinda implied this, don't you think? Executioner turned out to be an actual executioner. Who would've thought. I like the characters, the dynamics and the concept of time turning. Highly recommend watching this anime.
