Okay, so this series is off to a pretty intense and intriguing start. I'm curious about the mystery surrounding Asa but the worldbuilding is pretty interesting too. Arakawa seems to have a knack for blending the real and supernatural.

It was true for FMA and it's true now. #DaemonsofTheShadowRealm

Character Left from series Daemons of the Shadow Realm

Its been over 20 years since the last ArakawaxBONES joint so everything from this show, its visuals, animation, meticulous pacing, etc feels like meeting an old friend. Moreover if the premiere says anything they still got when comes to delivering quality #DaemonsoftheShadowRealm

But that was a very good first episode. I'm actually embarrassed now that I didn't have this on my list. lol #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm

I think this is the only time in history that "left" and "right" will help anyone. #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm

Why do these things ALWAYS happen to the protag's sister? It's one of the most used anime tropes I can think of. #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm

There's also a magical, psychotic Red Riding Hood-type who gives us one of the more brutal killing scenes of this young anime season and year. #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm

So in this very rural, almost ancient-looking village, with the existence of planes, helicopters, and military, we now have to ask ourselves, "when in time is this?" #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm

We'll put a pin in this guy's sister and come back later. #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm

And right off the jump, these are some very Hiromu Arakawa-looking characters. I love how you can tell a certain author's design style right away. #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm

#Anime #DaemonsoftheShadowRealm

"We must obey our master, Right."

AY YO?? 😂

(I knew my left was horny but I didn't know it had a rack-)
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"The hole's plugged with junk!"

"Dig it out!"

😂

(I like how we are in an emergency here and they can still make jokes LMAO first day at work be like)
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"But nobody's done anything wrong."

Is this that "we've been deceiving you since you were born" lore now? Welp. 🤭
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"Gobble, gobble."

I'm not going to show the damage this chick made to the villagers just because, but this reminds me of that Sternritter in "BLEACH" somehow, what's her name, the one with the weird glutton mouth? 🤭
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"Are those things even dragons?"

Nope, those are helicopters or choppers. 😂

(I know right this is a sacred village why am I correcting them-)
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"S-Something weird came flying our way!"

Bro, that's called a bullet? 🤭
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

An airplane in the sky with a pair of jet streams behind it

WHAT DID I TELL YOU 😂
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"I wouldn't mind living in this village my whole life."

"Yeah, since you've got a cute little sister."

TRUE THOUGH 🤭
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"Almost no one who leaves to work comes back."

That... sounds like a problem. 😬

Let's hope it's just because life downtown is better! 😉
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"You think the outside world's that nice?"

It's not. It sucks. Not even worth it if the currency isn't at least like, 3 times as much as here. 🤭
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"Hey, Yuru. How've you been?"

"I don't want anything. Do you have anything I can take to Asa?"

"Right?"

DUDE I THINK THIS GUY IS DORAEMON 😂
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"I'll never leave this village."

😐

FORESHADOWING IS A LITERARY DEVICE- 😂
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"You won't leave us like our parents did?"

OOF 😬
#anime #yominotsugai #daemonsoftheshadowrealm

"Perfect trails of dragon gas."

Wait, you sure those aren't planes...? 😂
