Episode 0, Dead Dead Demons Deeded Destruction
I've been waiting for this anime for 3 and a half years and honestly it feels quite unbelievable to be watching it right now!
This is a pretty weird place to start the anime at, as it kind of spoils a lot of the events but also brings some intrigue for what happened before this.
The animation for this episode disappointed me, as although the background art was fantastic the art direction was kinda... off? Animation was stiff at times and characters would go off model a lot. Now this could be just because I'm not used to the animation style yet but so far, it leaves a lot to be desired. This short run of the manga wasn't really my favourite as it just throws a ton of exposition at you which also contributes to it being a weird starting point.
Regardless, I had a ton of fun and I'm really excited to be taken on this journey once again!
