EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode introduces a visually arresting, lore-heavy Chinese-mythology-inspired fantasy. The animation pops during Ichiyou's ritual dances, showcasing sweeping fabric folds and bright energy trails. The sharp contrast between the crumbling, vast landscapes of the Immortal Realm and the detailed beastly features of runaway gods sets an engaging, epic tone
I went in without knowing much and ended up wanting to binge more. The art and character designs are fantastic and that opening is seriously good. The mix of fantasy and adventure definitely has me interested. And the OP is really good.
A solid opener, not gonna lie. Ichiyō being good in one thing but terrible on another thing is a fun contradiction to build a good protagonist, and Tenkō's power reveal is also worth mentioning as they were🔥. A little exposition-heavy episode to be fair, but a decent one to watch~
