My Daemon

The show is pretty much pokemon geared toward adults. The only differences are that Daemon are treated cruel while pokemon are loved and adored. I love how in this show the main character actually has a meaningful goal he is trying to achieve unlike Ash Ketchum who's a poke trainer simply to become the best.

The graphics in this show are top tier, I love the storyline and gore but my favorite aspect is how conflicted the show made me feel about the main villain Daemon. What the villain Daemon wants is clearly wrong but given what humans have done to Daemon, are the Villains motives justified? Is the villain really a villain? What would you do and how would you act if you experienced the treatment that the Daemon did?... Food for thought.

Heartfelt and powerful at times, each moment left me wanting more. The fact I started watching this and then cancelled my plans for the rest of the day to binge watch the whole season shows how I was pulled into this world. Great voice acting (English dubbed) and a visual treat, the storyline was one of sadness, laughter, desperation, but mostly hope. Sure, it was strange that the daemon appeared to be named after the only spoken word they each could say (think Pokémon), yet it also brought a childlike innocence to the creatures that fought against the public's perception of them within the majority of the story.

I'm unsure is a second season is needed or justified as this season alone told a beautiful tale. Yet I wanted this world to continue and to be able to watch characters develop further. Overall I highly recommend My Daemon.

When Netflix decides to invest in anime series they really put the bar crazy high as they should since Netflix isn't the main platform for animes but this series... I had zero words after finishing. It contains 13 episodes with 26-30 runtime and I can promise you: you went get bored. I just binge watched all the episodes without breaks because you cannot really disconnect from this amazing masterpiece. At first, the animation: no words, beautiful. All the details are perfectly made. Secondly, the voice actors are amazing. Now the storyline: intense, you constantly get the impluses, sometimes cute and happy moments, sometimes sad and gloomy. I cried, I laughed, I smiled. All the characters are beautifully written with likeable characteristics and cute, sometimes scary demons. My last thoughts are that this is a masterpiece and deserves popularity because there is no miss in here and since the end is fantastic so if this one gets scrapped you won't feel emptyness but if they renew it there's so much more that they can add since this universe they created have many-many new paths they can explore.

My initial experience with 'My Daemon' was tinged with skepticism. At first glance, the series seemed to me like a marketing parody of Pokémon wrapped in a veil of dark fantasy. However, I'm pleased to admit my preconceptions were misplaced. Although the beginning didn't fully capture my attention, the plot progressively intensified, awakening a growing interest to continue the journey.

The protagonist's journey, set in a post-apocalyptic world populated by Pokémon-style creatures, becomes increasingly serious and complex. It's true that the anime initially lacks a touch of epicness, and some characters may seem superficial or one-dimensional. However, as the story unfolds, we encounter more profound and three-dimensional characters, aware of the repercussions of their actions.

'My Daemon' is a blend of positive and negative elements that together form an absorbing experience. Although I'd love to delve deeper into the aspects I enjoy most about this work and those I consider flaws, doing so would mean revealing too much of the plot, and it's not my intention to spoil the surprise.

In summary, I highly recommend giving this series a chance. Despite a start that might not be entirely convincing, 'My Daemon' promises an exciting and nuanced journey. You won't regret embarking on this attempt at a "realistic" voyage through a devastated world.

I do get teary pretty easily but this show made be sob near the end. I felt such a strong heart connection with Anna (who reminds me of my own dog making it all the more challenging to keep the tears at bay) and Kento. For me the show represents the heart connection we as humans have lost to nature and how the child in us is craving for that connection. All we need is to let us be guided by it and get in touch with nature and all its living beings again to be happy, healthy and whole. We are part of nature and thats why we need to live in unison. I really hope to see a second season of this show because this really was something special for me. Thank you.
