The Executioner and Her Way of Life. In this story people getting summoned from Japan with powers has been a regular occurrence for a long time and has sometimes had disastrous consequences for the new world. Disastrous the point where there are executioners trying to eliminate "otherworlders".
It's quite good imo. It's rare to see an isekai that isn't the usual isekai for the sake of it, no JRPG element, no power fantasy, and it gets straight to the point. The adventures-like journey feels fresh. The theme song fits well, there's some questionable CGI abased the body horror of the final boss but it looks pretty most of the time. Recommend for someone wanting a new taste.

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 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.
Spoiler
It starts out with a kid being forced to another world then thrown out. He finds the lame other character that literally stabs him from behind for ZERO good reasons and continues on by saying "ik you don't deserve to die ik im the villain here but other people have done bad things so now a religion literally kills innocent people over LITERALLY NOTHING". With that smooth brained logic everyone needs to die and don't even get me started on how just before she did this she showed him how there world got no exaggerating revolutionized by other worlders but your expected to ignore that😂 then the lame tramp goes on to manipulate and attempt to kill another innocent person a innocent girl and when she comes back from death because that's her power she says "must have fallen asleep" omg I couldn't have made a story with more trash if I tried at local dump. Just because it's unique in any way doesn't mean it's good and it's not unique I just read through the reviews and it's literally exactly like talentless nana or whatever it's a direct rip off and it's just stupid that she falls in love with the person she can't kill as if she didn't kill countless other innocent people that also didn't deserve to die so what's the difference she can't kill this one so now she's in love with them 😂 what about oh I don't know every other person that didn't deserve to die before this it's just trash writing it's garbage I don't care how many people leave a thumbs down or whatever this show is objectively bad explain how it isn't in your review go ahead I haven't seen one review that it names anything that actually is relevant when it comes to positives it's just objectively trash.
