Combatant Six is evil henchmen.... number 6.... anyway he is sent on a scouting mission for evil Corp to a new earth-like planet slotted in for the next invasion.
Right of the bat this is not just a comedy but also a parody anime so lots of references and they are more than aware of the tropes.
They do it right because the jokes land, the characters interesting and the show as a whole very entertaining.
Elephant in the room, 9 time out of 10 the joke will involve some form of sexual harassment with a system that, because Six is literally part of evil Corp, he actually gets paid for doing evil deeds. So the show is aware that this is wrong but it's funny so they'll do it anyway. Six even says when one of the girls complains about him always targeting her "because you're our designated…

This anime is so bad, so bad that I don't understand how it got animated in the first place. There's no plot, only a very vague story that focus in a complete dumb and stupid MC harassing females sexually and psychologically.
The art style is ok, nothing great but not bad.
The characters are very plain and uninteresting. A dumb, retarded MC, a cute loli robot, a big breasted dumb woman for fan service, another dumb woman for comic relief and more fan service, and another loli that really don't add anything of value to all the others.
Overall, an anime that is stupid beyond measure, cringe, bad humour overall.
Total waste of time.

To be blunt: the author who wrote Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is the same one who wrote KonoSuba and decided to make a version parodying his own work. Six is a clumsy agent with low intellect who was sent to another world with the objective of spying on that planet, so that later a megacorporation called Kisaragi can conquer it. It turns out that Six's plans are not very efficient and he is known within the company for not presenting satisfactory results, even when things go well.
Shortly after arriving on the planet he meets Snow, a knight with a habit of breaking her swords, an important figure within the kingdom, who saves Six from several alien dogs, bringing the two closer together; despite being a villain from another planet, Six acts as a hero with the objective of gaining the trust…

One call tells that the author treated this story with more care than Konosuba. But this is another example of market trends choosing the inferior story over the superior one.
Characters here just work just as great as Konosuba and I would argue even better than Konosuba because after a while Konosuba turns formulaic to the point that the studio even pointed it in one of the OVAs
The story, the stakes, the motivations and the comedy here are far better than Konosuba.
I truly wish the people in charge give it another shot because this is better written than 90% of isekai.

A drop of intrigue, then a deluge of idiocy.
Much of the entertainment industry is guided thusly: when a property becomes exorbitantly profitable, find a way to capitalise on that. Some work on unsubtle repaints of the concept, others try to weasel their way into the franchise, and another group entirely decides to do something only marginally more respectable, and look towards tapping the same source. I mention this because Combatants will be Dispatched is firmly a result of this last route.
I'll make it clear, first of all, that I'm not saying that its flaws are specifically due to being worse than the creator's other, more prominent work, instead that it has to be noted that the only reason it was adapted, and the only reason anyone who watched it chose to, is because of its successor…

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is the problem with anime nowsaday. An anime with no soul, no stake, no story with stupid NPC as their main characters. And unless you find sex joke very amusing, repeating that same joke a thousand times will make you tremble in joy then I have some bad news for Konosuba fan - who came to see a glimpse of their once funny and beloved show; Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is not your show.
It didn't help that by the time I started watching this anime, I've just finished the LOTR Triology very recently and currently reading the Fellowship of the Ring book, they made me painfully realize how lacking these anime really is storywise. It's like they just created a situation and then came along with it with absolutely no regard for narrative. So me as a viewer, I can only know…

I almost dropped this one after the first episode. I was expecting a spy comedy, and while the main character endlessly tells us he's a spy on a mission, he does very little towards that end. Instead he spends the whole series in a stock isekai fantasy land, being sent on standard RPG quests, with the only twist being that he has to commit evil acts in order to earn weapons and equipment from his employer. Since he's scum and surrounded by beautiful women in skimpy clothing, it won't take you two seconds to guess what form these evil acts take.
All that said, the show is pretty funny if you're not bothered by most of the humour being based around sexual harrassment. I can't give it a particularly high mark though because it is so relentlessly trashy, derivative, and predictable.

for anyone who wants to watch a fun anime to chill or relax this is one you should go and is also good for the people who want to get into anime
So, I'm gonna be honest, I was exhausted from watching too much anime last season and have not been able to watch many anime this season, but this was the first one, I finished from this season. so here it goes.
Coming from the same author t=as the Konosuba the story is funny, if I have to rank them then Konosuba is like S rank, while this can comfortably sit at the A or B rank.
The main thing I liked about this show which was better and also I held the show back was that this show had a definite story plot, While Konosuba was relaxed and targeting particularly comedy.
The art is up to the mark, of the nowadays shows, any more detailed art wou…

When I saw that this anime was announced I thought "wow this is another work by the author of Konosuba, I like it a lot, so maybe it could be good". It wasn't that good.
The characters are kind of funny, you can feel the essence of a group of disastrous adventurers in that group, but it doesn't work as well as Konosuba. The formula of most jokes is very obvious and unlike Konosuba, any character other than the protagonist has only 1 joke and they keep repeating it for 12 episodes.
Sure, it was worth watching weekly, it gave me a dose of fifth-grade humor weekly, but I really don't recommend seeing the anime with it already finished. The humor is boring, the characters, although funny, are very monotonous and nothing much happens in the story without jokes being spoiled because they alway…

Combatants Will be Dispatched is an anime about a evil futuristic corporation that isekais Combat Agent 6, the main protagonist, to a fantasy land in order to secure and conquer it for the corporation. Along for the ride is the smart-talking and highly intelligent android Alice.
The story is a mess. The pacing is all over the place and most of the episodes are individual contained arcs. However unlike konosuba, there is an insanely fast narrative progression that makes this story format really difficult to follow. Massive developments happen that fail to relate whatsoever to the plot because it's only related to a single episode. Konosuba progressed as a slow isekai comedy, with small, gradual changes that occurred in the world over multiple seasons that began to shape the overarching plo…

This anime is pretty much boring. The first episodes are interesting because you get to learn all the new characters and environment but after establishing everything it gets very boring very fast.
The characters are boring to the core. They do the same generic things over and over and the writing is lazy at best and annoying.
I just felt watching the same episode again with just slight changes. The characters are just an inferior version of the konosuba characters and have no real personality.
I can't recommend this anime if you want quality. If you feel bored out of your mind and have nothing else to watch then go for it. But maybe you should waste your time with something better.

I'll get this out of the way, I like this better than Konosuba. Then why did I rated it lower than Konosuba then? Simple, it's just my preference.
The story is simple, evil organization sends the mc to another world to conquer it. But that kind of storyline is pretty wacky and doesn't really make any sense in the long run. Like, why did they only send 1 combatant? Why didn't they send more combatants right from the very start when they sent more combatants in the latter episodes? Like, those common sense questions are just a few that comes to my mind when thinking about this anime's plot.
But all in all, it's not really a problem since it's a comedy series that doesn't really follow common sense. So yeah, watch this anime with that mindset and you'll enjoy it.
The characters, well, they…

As is with the majority of silly comedy anime you have to take Sentouin Hakenshimasu and this review with a grain of salt. It's one of those animes that are self aware and intentionally stupid. So if you are one of the people running around on this platform who consider themself "anime connoisseur" and the "sentiment of acquired taste" please go and call out another anime for "characters as flat as your girlfriend's chest" or "story as lame as Lightning Larry Luciano" (damn a SpongeBob reference, a comparison and a hyperbole I'm getting going on this one)
Disclaimer out of the way so let's roll. If isekai is a family then Sentouin Hakenshimasu is that weird little cousin that always acts like he snorted uncle Kazumas cocaine line leftovers.
I swear that's the only and last Konosuba refer…

Combatans will be dispatsched, the english title of the anime is an anime that exist. Did it have to exist? Not really, it is just a piece of work that I have so many problems with and its even worse after I knew who the author was. So lets give a small introduction to this Anime, it is an Isekai comendy show with a cast of a loli, a pervert, stupid and fan-service. Does that sound familiar, yeah its kinda the same as Konosuba but way worse in every aspect. And the worst part is is because its the same guy who made konosuba also made this, piece of shit "work". The thing what angers me the most isn't that he is going to make an other comendy anime but rather again using the Isekai setting, this not only limits his jokes and you know what happens than but he could have used so much other ge…

Tl;dr: Watch it, it's very fun, and there's nobody to pester you about story.
So you're telling me that Konosuba's writer has another anime with a male lead who stands as the true lord over the whole male gender, surrounded with a harem in everything but name and... I guess the ecchi situations (truly says a lot about our society)? Well shit, I already have glasses on my face, a beer in my left hand and my dick in the other,so let's get going.
Combattants will be dispatched, with its rather straightforward name is about that evil group thing named Kisaragi, which after still being in the process of conquering Earth decides to send battle agent number 6 (hurray for simple names) towards another world, not in an isekai fashion, it's more like space Britain looking for undeveloped savages…

This show is written by the game guy who made Konusuba, so if you like Konosuba i reccomed you rewatch konosuba instead, because this show is not worth it at all. It is inferior in every single way you can think of.
The story is about a "Evil company" and a "Evil hero". The reason i wrote Evil Hero and not Anti-Hero is because he is not a anti-hero at all. He is just a cruel and mean hero, who does bad things because the author made me do it to "compensate" for when he does good deeds that the story needs to progress. It ridiculous. The show has "comedic relief" at the most inappropriate places. The demon army will wipe out all the humans of the city if the battle is lost? Time to make lame jokes like it's a normal day with no stakes at all! The music shifts to clownish comedy music in th…

Sentouin is crude, low brow, and juvenile as all hell. And yet I laugh every single time. Not every show has to be meaningful or high brow, but I'm glad shows like these can exist alongside and contrast against other elitist pretentious crap. You know you've got a gem of a show when even the episode previews are entertaining.
Like seriously, there's an entire episode that's basically a 20 minute long episode preview and it's still funny as hell.
Sentouin hits you with jokes like a machine gun. The jokes come fast and even if one doesn't hit, another one soon takes its place. Even with the less than stellar presentation (JC Staff really shouldn't take on multiple shows per season), the fact that this show can still stand as one of the best of the season speaks volumes to its quality in…

The wonderful thing about the Internet is the amount of freedom we have. And with freedom, we can use our creativity to build worlds, to imagine ourselves in places where we never expected, or meet people from the other side of the globe. What does that tell you about anime? Well, it means writers are able to freely express their thoughts and ideas into their work no matter how ludicrious it is.
Take Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! for example. It's written by Natsume Akatsuki, the same writer who is the brainchild behind the KonoSuba franchise. You remember Konosuba, right? Unless you've been living under a rock, that series became a light novel and anime sensation back when it was airing. And now, he's back. Mr Akatsuki decided to translate his ideas into this show because freedom allows him t…

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is basically a retelling of KonoSuba—only much, much inferior. That's not to say that it's particularly a bad anime, but does that matter much when pretty much the entire time I was thinking: "I wish I was watching KonoSuba instead."
The idea of parodying isekai RPGs was novel few years ago. However, after the release of countless light novels and anime that have parodied/attempted to parody isekai, this concept has become painfully dull as practically everything about the genre has already been covered. Originally a light novel by Natsume Akatsuki—the creator of KonoSuba—Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is essentially just another unremarkable isekai parody. I know what most of you are probably thinking. Given the fact that the original light novel is written by Akatsuki,…

Natsume Akatsuki. This name should be very familiar to the big crowd of cultured people who watched KonoSuba before, not adding that his later work (Hataage! Kemono Michi) is hideously average at best. But what else is this author hiding? This show! And it's none other than Re:Zero author Tappei Nagatsuki whom found out that Natsume Akatsuki was actually hiding this work from superiors at Kadokawa, and if you know anything about the AniManga industry, if your work is noticed, you're gonna get rekted the hell outta deadlines and such. That's why he hid it from Kadokawa, and the snitch was just waiting to happen in time to come. So in regards to the original source material (and this anime), you can thank the "Return by Death" God that is Tappei Nagatsuki for revealing this well-hidden work…
