Spoiler for Ep 1:

Wow, the budget for this show is insane. It looks at least as good as AnoHana does and that's saying something. Colors are crisp, there aren't many (if any) moments where characters are horribly off model, and motion remains consistent and clear. It's definitely a nice surprise to see so much money put into this show.

I'm a little surprised they dragged out the first chapter of the manga like that. I realize that the big battle against Satan should be reserved for the second episode instead of cramming it in the first like the manga did but it seemed a little dragged out. The scene with the little girl, in particular, seemed unnecessary but I suppose its purpose was to introduce the world of demons.

So little Yukio this episode. I'm hoping my favorite badass is going to make a stronger appearance next episode (if not in episode three). But I liked Rin's adventures and the job he worked at. The thug he fights here looks much more threatening than in the manga, I have to admit.

The little cotton spores aren't as cute in the anime as they were in the manga, though. Small complaint, it's really the only one I have for this episode.

the first chapter has about 60 pages, subsequently 40ish. I think it will be 1.5 episodes per chapter from now on.
