To be honest I haven't watched the OG anime, this has completely slipped off my radar considering I have watched City Hunter and OG Gundam way back in my childhood. The studio did a good job adding some modern elements in this reboot while it also feels like I'm watching an old anime (maybe its the character design 🤔). They also didn't get sloppy with the effects and animation. It's a strong first episode, the story also got me hooked since I'm quite a sucker with stories involving yokai 😅

Episode Context

As episode one of thirteen, 'The 99-Legged Bug' is purely foundational, it introduces Nube's dual role as educator and exorcist, establishes the Doumori Elementary setting, and sets the tone for the supernatural threats that will define the season. The stakes here are relatively contained, serving as a warm-up before episode two, 'Rampage of the Fox Demon,' escalates the danger with more formidable entities.
