Impressions:
Konosuba's Natsume Akatsuki has a distinctive sense of humor that you can quickly identify. While this series is inferior to the work that made him famous, it will scratch the itch of fans of his brand of comedy and overall I found it better than Kemono Michi. Our protagonist Agent Six feels like a throwback to the sort of leads we'd have back in the 80s and early 90s, an open pervert with a heart of gold hidden under layers of petty villainy and criminal mischief. Being at least a nominal villain, he frequently employs underhanded tactics that appall friend and foe alike. He gels well with his blunt, acid-tongued android partner, and much as with Konosuba, the gang is filled out with ladies of varying degrees of uselessness. The Evil Points system adds another layer to the comedy, where Six is rewarded for his bad behavior. That being said, he gets about as good (or bad as the case may be) as he gives, so there is some measure of balance, though I wouldn't blame you for siding with the Demon Lord's army as the closest thing we have to decent people. If you're in the mood for some light comedic sociopathy with SF characters raising Cain in a fantasy world, this is worth a watch.
