Another preview

Definitely the dark horse of the season.

Good debut episode actually. Bela is good.

Boy, Gotham sure took an interesting turn without Batman.

Bem's youkai/monster form reminds me of the monsters from Blood+. Clothes don't magically reappear when the transformation is undone so that means naked Bela (who totally looks like Morgana from Magi) incoming!

I thought the episode had the right amount of intrigue and action.

Wasn't bad at all, action and atmosphere was good. The op was composed by Shiina Ringo, no wonder it sounded familiar. Wasn't expecting to like this really, hope it can be a sleeper hit.

Mediocre first episode. Too much focus on the useless newbie cop, not enough focus on Bela and Belu who seemed like much more interesting characters.

I'm gonna give it one more episode but it's looking like a waste of time.

the drastic modern character redesigns is fine by me, in case of people new to this series they used to look like this:

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)

^I want to puke

Why would they want to become human btw?
Such inferior species :heh:

I ask myself that every time I see a show like this.

Nice setting, cool atmosphere, good beginnings of characters, it just needs some help in the story department.

Bem, Belo, and Bela are interesting, I don't really know why they would want to be human considering they can go back and forth, but I guess you need some motivator.

I'll try another episode.

What company is streaming this?

Funimation.

I thought all the individual parts here were fine, but somehow as a whole everything felt very by-the-numbers to me.

Thank you!

That was pretty good. Definitely a pick-up for me.

Nice character episode, seems like our monster heroes also live as humans in the open.
Interesting to see Bela, and maybe the others, have a more "demonic" form where they lose control of themselves.

Wonder what Bem does in his downtime?
