This episode was awesome. I would say that this has the potential for best anime of the season, but it's hard to tell since we have horimiya, jujutsu kaisen, mushoku tensei and bleack.
Can't wait to see more

That maid is still serving her master. Outstanding work ethic. If I were her, I would've quit while she was a head.

This is my favorite premiere of the season by far, put together really well with a bunch of diverse directing shots, compared to bombastic but one-dimensional style of certain other shows this season. The story seems to be divided into various short arcs, seems appealing to me.

Some very nice directing moments, reminded me of Midori the anime at some points
Premise was just ok

Wow, the writing was excellent. Far above what I excepted. 
The reasoning behind their actions is on point. And the way they show the dead cat with perfect timing to illustrate how shitty those people were... great attention to detail.

I'm 100% watching this.

The banger of an OP gave me heavy K-pop girl group vibes, and sure enough, it is from a Korean idol group called CLASS:y. The artwork and the quality of this show is pretty surprising, glad I picked this up.

4 pages to find someone mentioning the dead cat shows that the viewers also don't care about an innocent cat's death. We have seen that people are going through a famine and it was clear that the cat was underweight and was suffering, why would people would think a creature in such a frail and scared position would do them harm to a point they consider killing them? I hope those people in that village die of said famine.

Very good first episode. I really like the two main characters, they are quite interesting as are their stories, but especially Tsugaru. Pairing detectives with supernatural creatures is my paradise. I loved it.

Okay, this looks really good! I'm glad I ended up giving this show a shot. I remember seeing the PV before the start of the season and definitely was curious but then life got busy and it just happened that this show and a couple others became something like second priority. 

But anyway, enough about that. I'm loving the style of this show. Character interactions, animation, premise, setting, OP/ED - It's all the ingredients for a solid Summer show! Definitely excited about this one! And that kiss in the end to top it off, that's classy. Seemed like the maid wasn't too happy about it though for a second though, lol.

Dunno why I am hearing of this only now and even then only through the r/anime Summer 2023 shows to watch chart. Fucking amazing, not surprising since apparently Kaguya-Sama's director is handling it. The shots, the dialogue, all so good.

If that's not enough, there's guns and Europe too.

Wow! Now that was an impressive pilot. They really sold me Tsugaru's character and I'm hooked on the storytelling. All the camera angles and those theatrical interludes made it really entertaining to watch and listen to.

It's been some time since I got such a nice vibe from a seinen series. So far it feels like something between Vanitas and Mars Red, which makes it a must watch for me.

It's good, but we need a dub. Good VAs but it's too hard to follow the intricacy of the sub. I guess nobody's picking it up though, which is a shame. Will continue to watch since we don't get much spooky stuff any season. Usually just generic SOL titles.

DUB THIS.

The guy is basically demi fiend xD I like the setup, especially that this duo is obviously original and it already started well with the kiss while she has no body, I'm curious about what's next

@Smudy I saw you watched it all now, does it get worse after episode 1?

@Ebobebo Director work stays good all the way, just the episode contents compared to the first arc i didn't really like as much.

Felt some of the random visuals were distracting/unnecessary, almost like they were trying a bit too hard to keep people's attention from drifting away during the heavy dialogue scenes.

So far it's alright but I find it odd that she was willing to end her life before even attempting to recover her body. She already knows that it was taken to Europe and can have her battle maid move her around.

Good episode, it seems that Tsugaru and Aya have a common goal, apart from that Aya can help him live longer so it is a good exchange. The journey begins to find the guy with the cane with the symbol M and I think he must do or participate in shady experiments from the little we saw of him PS: Nice animation and Good Opening and Ending

What an interesting start. I wasn't expecting much but I'm glad I gave this a chance.

Looks like our Oni Slayer is going to Europe with a severed head and her maid.
