My Review of The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses 420https://srv.crunchyroll.com/cdncgi/image/fit=containformat=autoquality=85width=1200height=675/catalog/crunchyroll/a8e36060188091afd975b5ee5a261e7a.jpg The Hero Has Fallen Unconscious Story This story follows the powerful hero Toto. Despite his power his inability to converse with others has left him unable to form a party. Unfortunately three women invite him to join their party which he accepts gratefully. What he doesnt know however is that all 3 women want to kill him for different motives. These women have to keep their identities a secret as they work as Totos party members and go on adventures with him. 320https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/07/de56a175189737809241920.jpg?w=640 Characters Toto is a very durable and strong fighter. He can kill a lot of monsters with just one punch. His only weakness? His extreme shyness. He faints at the touch of a woman which his party members take advantage of. Anemone one of the girls is an assassin disguised as a priest who was tasked to kill him for money. Another girl Ciel was tasked to kill him for her independence and to become successor to the undead throne. Goa actually doesnt want to kill Toto but just to make him one of her romantic slaves. 320https://anitrendz.net/news/wpcontent/uploads/2025/06/theshyheroandtheassassinprincessesnewtrailerfeatureimage.png The Good I really like the idea of this show. Three assassins and a shy hero unaware of their true identities? Sounds like a fun concept. To be fair it was done well in my opinion. Each character felt unique enough that it didnt feel like 3 clones of the same person. They all had their own specialities. Anemone was great with physical weapons like guns Ciel was good with dark magic and Goa was good with poison. I did find it funny that Toto would literally tank any attempt of assassination that any of the girls would throw at him. Even when it wasnt the girls I found it a bit amusing that he could oneshot any of the monsters he fought without stat boosts and even with debuffs. 320https://m.mediaamazon.com/images/M/MV5BM2VhNmZiYmItYWEzYS00NmU0LWJiNGEtNjBjM2U0ZjRiYzFlXkEyXkFqcGc.V1QL75UY281CR10500281.jpg The Bad This show isnt deep with lore. Its very barebones with what it gives about each character not really expanding too much on everyones lore except for a few people. I wish it did though because I feel like I wouldve connected with the characters more if they just had more lore explored. I wasnt too much of a fan of the fanservice crazy right? but I do understand its purpose. Without the fanservice the show would not have had a lot of passing out from Toto which was needed to have the girls communicate. I think that the finale was a bit underwhelming because of the small conflict it resolved but I guess there wasnt really any better option because of the lack of antagonists in this show although there were a few. 320https://www.anitrendz.com/next/image?url=https3A2F2Fi0.wp.com2Fanitrendz.net2Fnews2Fwpcontent2Fuploads2F20252F022FTheStunnedHeroandtheAssassinPrincessesTeaserPVscreenshot.png3Ffit3D1920252C108026ssl3D1w=1920q=75 The Downright Ugly I dont think there was anything downright ugly with this anime. 320https://i.yt.com/vi/IpCq7L7WgqU/hq720.jpg?sqp=oaymwE7CK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAy0IARUAAAAAGAElAADIQj0AgKJD8AEBAHCYAC0AWKAgwIABABGHIgPChKMA8=rs=AOn4CLC3JNZDafmSx1qmxFG1yPO1KZzvQ Is It Worth The Watch? Uhm. I dont think its a must watch. This show definitely isnt going to be for everyone. Personally I thought it was a decent show. I couldve done without a good amount of the fanservice but I do understand its purpose towards the plot. I wouldnt mind if theres a season 2 for this but I also wouldnt mind if there isnt a season 2 in the future. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
