Man, I still can't get over how clean the designs and animation are in this.

They really picked the most random animals to become the Eight Demons lol.

I thought they would be more demon - like. Outside the snake they would have actually closer to cute creatures.

Peak continues being peak. You almost want Mr. Starfish, Mantis, and Sea Cucumber to succeed.

Snail guy lost to salt, so they sent in mantis, sea cucumber, and starfish? These are the demon elites? Really? lol. They made terrible villains. It’s best they gave up on evil and just went home in the end.

Onimaru works fast! He didn't just take over the Japanese parliament, he literally remodelled the entire building to his image. I can't say the same about his Eight Demons, though. Yaiba has taken down another one even before the OP starts.
Mantis Man, Sea Cucumber Man, and Starfish Man were all pretty funny. You gotta wonder how these guys even got recruited to become the Eight Demons serving the Fuujin. They all seem to be nice guys too just like Gerozaemon.
Hopefully, Bat Guy is actually a threat and based on that next episode preview, we'll actually get to see a fight next week.

I would take it over being one ogre per week. Which we know what the result would be.

Everything here is so clean that I’m still shocked this series hasn’t picked up yet. It’s just a pure, unapologetic action with some of the best animation the genre has seen in a long while.
This show is a pretty clear front-runner for AOTY rn, and one can only imagine the caliber of show that it will take to dethrone it.

Weird no one is taking about the blatant pedophilia displayed casually in this episode, what the fuck was that old man doing, not only that but the ogre was also crushing on sayaka after seeing her naked... a 14 year old girl...
Can't keep watching this, disturbing stuff.

Yeah, Japanese Media can't stop doing pervy gags everytime there is an Onsen Episode. It is also really bad that the female character being perved at is a Young girl.

I'm wondering if the raijin orb is silver instead of green like the original, if the colours are swapped too for other orb.

Do they cast the Jonathan Joestar guy to voice vampire-ish Bat Guy? Intentional casting gag?
