The high-quality animation, intense battle scenes, and fitting OST have set the stage for an epic showdown between the Shuras, the most powerful beings in the series. The brief glimpse of the opening theme, "Shura ni Otoshite," performed by Sajou no Hana, has also left me eager to hear the full song.
The synopsis and advance cut for episode 1 have further piqued my interest. The story's setting in Nagan Labyrinth City and the unexpected influx of golems disrupting the peaceful daily routine of Yuno and her friend Lucels promise an exciting and action-packed plot. The appearance of a mysterious man wielding a blunt sword adds an intriguing element to the story, and I'm curious to learn more about his role in Yuno's fate.
