I'm aware a story focused on assassins and ninjas will have deaths, I'm not against media having death, I watch all different kinds of media and I'm constantly curious about all different types of series. Including shows and movies that aren't my cup of tea, I want to see what people are making and what other people are enjoying. Which is why my comment wasn't meant to be sarcastic or anything, I'm genuinely happy for anyone that loves the series and thinks it's hilarious. More power to anyone that loves the running gag. For me the presentation of this series simply rubs me wrong, and I think the deaths in this series come across in a way that is comedic to certain people, and the kind of person that thinks the average slasher movie is a comedy would also find this hilarious. Which simply isn't how I personally process and view media such as this and slasher movies, which share an overlap in my mind. Also my wording in my previous comment maybe came off as rude and that wasn't my intent, so I apologize if I came off that way at all.
Yes the show has serious moments to show the ugliness of the world, while also having the beating heart of a dark comedy, for me that's very bleak and the comedy just rubs me of the wrong way with how it all blends together. If you think it's insightful and balances the comedy in a way that makes the series better for you that's cool.
I focus on the gay element because the series is very gay, and it's a bit along the lines of a crueler Yuru Yuri to me. Yuru Yuri is a series where the highlighted (both main and side) characters are all gay and that's a core foundation of the world that the series exists in, and how's how I also view this series. Yuru Yuri had a lot of comedy bits that rubbed me the wrong away and felt mean spirited but didn't have death. NinKoro to me is a series that feels very gay while also subjecting the characters to the most horrible things imaginable. Something about that doesn't sit well with me, and it's hard to entirely articulate apologies.
I also want to state again that it's fine that we have different views, for me NinKoro is interesting but very bleak and off putting, and while I feel that way I am genuinely happy for anyone that loves the series. I hope it continues to be a great experience for anyone that is loving it, and I hope it gets renewed for future seasons as well.
