Overall Rating 7.0 out of 10 - Simple, but decent comedy
I can recommend watching.
This sure is a simple show with just a few characters in total. Most of the time there are only two of them on screen. I guess it shows that you can make a good show out of two characters if you have brains and talent.
Kill Me Baby is a simple comedy that follows Manzai pattern. Gintama, Excel Saga and Nichijou also do that, but they are more complex and more variations to this simple formula. Shinpachi even explained Manzai in one of Gintama episodes, clearly linking this show to that traditional form of comedy.
Kill Me Baby does it the most straightforward way. Yasuna doing stupid things all the time and Sonya offers voice of logic and common sense. Sometimes common-sense ninja Agiri and "unused character" are added to mix things up a little bit.
Overall quality varies from episode to episode, some are really funny, especially episodes 4 and 5. Others more plain and less entertaining. If they could maintain episode 4 writing, I would have given it 8.
At times you can feel both intellectual loneliness and intelligence of the creator of this show. That felt most through Agiri's character that sits on the tower and watches into distance in the ending. However sometimes in the episodes as well.
Visual quality does leaves to be desired. It's very plain and simply made. Sad, that art budget is wasted on Demon Slayer or Guilty Crown instead of this very witty show. Talented people are not given support they need.
Overall, it is a good comedy. I can recommend it for everyone who likes to laugh.
