The trailer caught my attention, but honestly, I don't think the first episode was very exciting. I thought the protagonist was going to pull a fast one when facing Mononoke, but they defeated him super fast! Haha. Even so, the plot looks pretty good. I loved the detail that he can talk to animals, and I'm wondering what makes him so different that he has that ability. I'm intrigued to find out, so I'll definitely keep watching.
