Jun and Kaito. What a tag team. I'm definitely watching now. I thought Kaito would be voicing Vict at first glance while Jun would be voicing Kiri. lol

The premise is hilariously dumb. Time-eating demons? Laughing I can't imagine this show be anything other than some mundane action shounen with unnecessary slapstick comedy. Maybe I'll watch it just to be how hard it'll flop Laughing

Those are some stylish character design. But it is a bit worrying that the harsh shading reminds me of the Divine Gate anime, which is not something you want to be compared to. It also doesn't help that this studio and director don't have best track record, though I did enjoy Netoge more than I thought I would. I dunno the absurd premise seems like it could make a fun action thriller, we'll just have to wait and see.

It appears to be a pretty standard "heroes vs. monsters" shounen story (I read the oneshot, haven't read the serialization), but since the article's synopsis is pathetically nondescriptive, I figured I'd expound: the demons contract with people, saying that they can turn back time, but actually consuming that person's time. As the person's time is consumed, they indeed "roll back" to how they were before, but they are eventually erased from existence once the demon consumes all of their time.

Judging from the trailer, this might get the same Bungou Stray Dog feels
