...What? Based on your comment, you're assuming kids are too dumb to understand plot and I feel like that's far from the truth. Sure, they can enjoy whatever they want, whether it be filler hell or a faithful anime adaptation, but my point was that you're not giving kids enough credit by saying...
So you're saying kids won't enjoy and can't appreciate an anime that moves forward with an actual overarching plot?
I feel like you're not giving them enough credit.
agreed...at least stuff in the 3rd chapter moved the plot along and it characterized Rokuro's inner struggle regarding his trauma better, though it looks like Pierrot will be animating it next week
@Demonspeed Only the Heavenly Commanders can use the spirits of Abe no Seimei's shikigami to fight; it's only exclusive to them
and you won't be disappointed about Benio
They would've had a better chance if they took on the one that was 9th rank...but nope, they were unfortunate to encounter the 4th strongest basara ^^;
On the official anime website, it says he serves Benio.
Also, there are more of his kind all over the island so it makes sense that Benio probably had him since she was a child when her parents were still around.
The "pokemon" is a shikigami designed by the author himself (his design can be found in volume 6) but he never added it in the story most likely because he only thought of it a few months ago; I guess the anime gives him a chance to do so, just my input
