I'll be honest, I was pushed away by 1. the dumb title and 2. fear of cold war brainworms. The brainworms are extraordinarily minimal, but the show is cute as hell. An excellent watch.

To expand a bit:
The show at it's best: It's not fair I just want to see these 3 deeply traumatized people (and 1 dog) be a happy adopted family why must the fate of the world rest on their shoulders IT'S NOT FAIR!!!
The show at it's worst: Oh noes Yor can't cook wet fart noises
Yor not knowing how to cook almost seemed to suggest they were trying to break her out of the traditional gender role. Her athleticism, her
bloodlustcompetitiveness, and her sense of independence almost give the impression she was going to be a well-written female lead character. But they spend so much time on Twilight while just kinda alluding to Yor doing assassin sidework.I thought the magical realism of Anya being psychic (and then the dog being prophetic) was going to be the most annoying thing about the show, but I'm more-and-more drawn to how this initially dynamic, exciting, mysterious mother figure just becomes a damsel in distress for Twilight to rescue from social situations.
Still fucking love it. But its just another reminder of how bad anime is at writing women.
