The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace

I am going to try to be brief... In this show, I particularly liked the conflict between the two interesting parties, where I could not be sure who to really be rooting for, because the anime’s creators are constantly reminding the audience that the Idaten are not human and in many situations behave very differently from a human perspective and often really inhuman like true gods, very indifferent to ordinary things. Similarly, the demons are constantly reminding us that they are demons, and even though they usually have much more interesting characters than the Idaten themselves due to their humanity (and so I found some of them, therefore, more appealing that way), we are constantly reminded that they are monsters. It is all really well produced, because here the animation studio simply did not mess around with the censorship of sensitive topics, and so things happen in the show, often (like the end of the first episode) with very original graphics or musical accompaniment, that leaves you with a sense of wonder and I really enjoyed it. I also liked the animation a lot, the fight scenes had the right dynamics, and in general, the whole thing just had a nice flow to it. What the most irritating thing for me was, on the other hand, was that the anime creators decided to put some of what I thought were important expositions into fast-forward mode, and so I, therefore, could not keep up with everything written on-screen. In fact, I then had to get up and pause watching it just because I was interested in catching up on reading all of that information! But enough already, I wanted to be brief... The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace is just an enjoyable combat anime series that kept me interested, entertained, and curious regarding a possible follow-up. 7.3/10. (28/09/2021)
