Hiromu Arakawa is back with a brand-new anime adaptation, and Daemons of the Shadow Realm Episode 1 delivers one of the most shocking premieres of the year.

In this review, I break down the biggest twists from Episode 1 “Asa and Yuru,” including the hidden truth behind Yuru’s village, the mystery of Asa, Gabby’s terrifying introduction, and the arrival of the Daemon’s Left and Right.

If you’re a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist or dark fantasy anime with layered world-building, this is a series you should absolutely be watching.
