Preliminary (6/12 eps)
I decided to give this show a go after Youtube's algorithm decided to show me clips of Power meeting her cat for the first time. She captured my interest quickly. I already knew MAPPA was brilliant so decided to take the plunge despite the story sounding generic. I knew of CSM from Hyper Japan 22 as one guy was cosplaying him so figured there was a lot of hype around it already.

I'm glad I did as every character apart from the MC is extremely interesting and the dynamic between the devil hunters is fun to watch. The OST is absolutely amazing, the animation is spectacular, the CGI is very well executed and blends well imho.
The atmosphere and world building is fantastic and even if you are not the target audience for this type of anime it grows on you quickly.

MC reminds me of a modern Goku meets Kintaro (Golden Boy) blend minus the interesting characteristics and motivations. It works for the target audience though so not my concern.
Thankfully you have amazing characters like Power and Aki which are far more interesting and layered. Gradually more characters enter the story and it keeps getting better.

I think any other studio would have botched this so really happy to see MAPPA take it on.
