Not bad. Worth sticking around for all of the 36 other episodes? Maybe, who knows. I'll definitely give it a few more episodes at the very least.

I think i set quite an expectation and with ep 1, it is a bit better than what i expect. Alot of great details, even new ones are created just for the anime. Everything is done pretty good too. So yea love it, 5 stars

Reply to Limi
The MC is fantasizing, in a daze dozing off in the middle of a battlefield. He is lucky his lack of experience didn't make him end up dead in the first episode.

It seems the MC might have some power, but is lacking in experience. Maybe he'll gain some true colors and show those eventually. Depending on how the MC develops this could be a decent watch.

The transformation scene was very nice.
@Limi The mc and also
is Jinka, Shinsuke is just joke chara lol.

Solid first episode! To be honest, the show already had my attention form the time it was announced that it’d be getting three cours of content, and I’m glad to say that this first episode didn’t disappoint. On the contrary, I would’ve to say I enjoyed it, and I see it having pretty good potential.

Youko siblings who clearly don’t seem like your average sibling duo and a random swordsman picked up along the way, that doesn’t seem too usual a plot, now does it? Character dynamics in particular got my attention and it’s nice to see that White Fox are looking to give this the A-tier treatment. I loved the way the backstory was handled, always down for unconventional representations like this.

We’re in for a journey here, lads! It’s been a while that I’ve kept with a three cour series, the only and last of which I believe was Karakuri Circus. Pretty excited about this one!

Hard to pay attention for me, it didn't really hook me well into the story. I do love the siblings and I think I'll keep watching it to see them interact with eachother.

To clarify, Jinka is mostly a human. Tama is a youko, aka a fox spirit.

The use of music is bad.
It just kind of plays, and does not fit the tone of what is going on.

Sound-effects are low quality, and sometimes missing (like when she bites her hand).

ive only finished Satoshi's Planet With since it was decent and read a bit of hammer so i can at least see why this might start off amazing right out of the gate like they are totally doing something with Shinsuke

The characters have potential, but I'm not sold on the plot yet. However, according to the synopsis, the main plot hasn't even started yet, so I guess that's okay.

For now it's just a "decent action show with nothing special". But it does get 37 episodes so, compared to all the 12 episode shows, I suppose it's natural that this show needs time to gain momentum.

I haven't read this manga before. Yet, following my experience of watching the initial episode of its anime adaptation, I couldn't help but perceive the story unfolding at a somewhat leisurely pace, and the plot didn't quite manage to grip my interest. The characters, unfortunately, failed to captivate me, leaving me without that eager anticipation to discover what twists and turns the narrative might take in the subsequent chapters.

The first episode giving off the vibes that it will be the most 7 out of 10 shonen anime you can get, I was actually surprised why people seem confused over MAL rating, seems fair to me.

Because the manga is great. That being said the start really does give 7/10 vibes.

I was planning to read the manga for this, but with this being a full adaptation, the anime seems more worthwhile.

Evan Call is the music composer

kajiura is only composing the opening (and probably the ending) theme song

odd siblings. Jinka white fox design so cool. Tama is naive but fun.
mc presented as loudmouth stalker lol but fun faces & got samurai potential.
op sound promising. some sfx sound quite special.
throwing so many terms, but fights are dynamic & legit cool.

very interesting start, the medieval/historical atmosphere and the combination of supernatural and mythology elements make the show have a certain mystical "aura" that i especially like, let's see how it continues
