With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for action fans and animation lovers. If you loved Regular Show or Batman: The Animated Series, start here.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 19 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
In feudal Japan, half-demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated from each other during a forest fire. While desperately searching for her younger sister, Towa wanders into a mysterious tunnel that sends her into present-day Japan, where she is found and raised by Kagome Higurashi’s brother, Sota, and his family. Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened, allowing Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a demon slayer working for Kohaku. But to Towa’s shock, Setsuna appears to have lost all memories of her older sister
