Peter Grill to Kenja no Jikan Episode 1 Anime Review

The first episode of Peter Grill and the Ogre Sisters wastes no time revealing its identity. It’s loud, lewd, and proudly ridiculous an ecchi fantasy comedy where being the strongest man in the world instantly becomes the main character’s biggest problem.

If you’re looking for serious fantasy storytelling, this isn’t that kind of show. But if you enjoy over-the-top harem chaos and self-aware humor, Episode 1 delivers it in full force.

The episode kicks off with Peter Grill winning a world tournament and earning the title of Strongest Man Alive. His goal is simple: use this achievement to finally get permission to date his innocent crush, Luvelia Sanctos.

But Peter quickly learns that being the strongest makes him prime breeding stock in the eyes of two ogre sisters (Lisa and Mimi Alpacas) who want the strongest possible genetics for their future children. They chase Peter with single-minded determination, and the poor guy crumbles under pressure almost immediately.

What was supposed to be the happiest moment of Peter’s life becomes a spiraling mess of temptation, panic, and guilty internal screaming.

Episode 1 makes it clear: this series leans hard into ecchi comedy. The humor comes from shameless exaggeration, Peter’s desperate attempts to stay faithful, and the sister's aggressive pursuit. It’s all so over-the-top that the absurdity becomes part of the charm.

This is a show that never takes itself seriously and that’s exactly why it works for its intended audience.

The visuals focus heavily on expressive reaction shots, comedic angles, and spicy ecchi gags. The animation is clean, colorful, and exactly what you’d expect from a short-form ecchi comedy. Whenever the tension ramps up, the show briefly parodies dramatic fantasy tropes, adding to its playful tone.

Episode 1 of Peter Grill and the Ogre Sisters knows its audience and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. It’s a fast, wild, and ecchi-packed introduction that sets the stage for the chaos to come. If you’re in the mood for an adult fantasy comedy with plenty of exaggerated hijinks, this premiere hits the mark.
