Synopsis
Eight hundred years ago, terrifying demons threatened mankind's existence. On the brink of extinction, humans prayed to their gods, calling out for someone to save them. Emerging from these desperate pleas for salvation, battle deities known as the "Idaten" were born. Possessing unnatural strength and endurance, the Idaten managed to defeat the demons and an era of unprecedented peace was finally ushered in. Having never encountered demons before, the present generation of Idaten knows nothing of the demon's brutality, but they have instead only lived a peaceful existence. Training under Rin, the only remaining Idaten from 800 years ago, the new Idaten find ways to survive in a time where they have seemingly outlived their usefulness. However, when the tyrannical Zoble Empire resurrects a demon, the misfit crop of gods are called to the battlefield against their natural enemy once more. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

dyenome★★★★★AnimeIdaten Deities Know Only Peace is a chaotic but really entertaining anime. I liked how quickly it introduced the world and characters, and the animation, especially during the fights, was great. The comedy and visual gags also worked really well for me, and I enjoyed how the series slowly built up the mystery around the Idaten, the demons, and especially Miku. What I liked most is how the anime keeps questioning humanity and power, while making the demons feel surprisingly human at times. The only downside is the cliffhanger ending, which makes it frustrating that the anime never got a continuation. Just go read the manga and finish this masterpiece. It's completely worth it.
dyenome★★★★★VerifiedEP 11This was a very chaotic episode, with everything falling apart as it built toward this moment and Miku revealed as the mastermind behind it all. The problem is that there’s no more after this; the episode ends on a huge cliffhanger for every plot point it has been building up until now, and since the anime came out in 2021, you’ll need to continue with the manga (just do it)
dyenome★★★★★VerifiedEP 10We see even more reasons why Miku is an actual menace, not only because of how nasty she is, but also because of how smart she is, rivaling Ysley. Everything starts building up toward a huge climax.
dyenome★★★★★VerifiedEP 9This anime gets better and better, constantly questioning the convictions of other characters and humanity itself, while also revealing the further cruelty of the demons. The demons are really strange, with some showing almost no redeeming qualities, while others seem more human than the Idaten themselves.
