Ansatsusha de Aru Ore no Status ga Yuusha yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi no da ga

Why IS the art direction for the anime so freaking good? I know the most obvious answer is "Studio Sunrise lol" but why is Sunrise wasting their time with a mediocre isekai? I like what little I've seen of "Not Deedlit and Pirotess" so far, but the rest of the framing of the story is just completely forgettable.

Art direction for Assassin is totally the director's decision, per this interview.

Also, this mediocre Isekai sells pretty well. The 1st 4 books have sold over 1.6 million copies so far as of Aug 2025.

Welp. Guess I'll keep watching the anime, if nothing else, to admire the art direction.

Thank you for the answer.

And I have such an additional question in which volume Amelia and Akira officially become a couple.

Spoiler

there's an event in Vol 3 which effectively serves as a "together forever" vow for Akira and Amelia where he cuts ring shaped marks into each other's fingers, but otherwise that's been about it. I don't think there's been kissing or other intimate stuff, since everything afterwards has been very plot focused on getting to the demon lands.
