My Daemon is amazing, a must watch!!
What's the Story?
MY DAEMON is the suspenseful story of Kento's journey to find a daemon who can manipulate time and bring his mother back to life. Traveling with Anna (voiced by Cristina Vee), his highly sought after daemon, Kento (voiced by Cassandra Lee Morris) must determine if the people he meets are friend or foe -- and whether he can make a difference against the cruelty of a post-apocalyptic society.
Is It Any Good?
This action-packed sci-fi anime reminiscent of a grittier Digimon Adventures is a gripping story despite sometimes being simplistic and predictable. The fast pace and straightforward dialogue make My Daemon a little cheesy, but Kento's sincerity, Anna's loyalty, and the hope for the two to succeed make it a show worth investing in. Kento's persistent goodness is an encouraging contrast to the intense violence and thoughtless cruelty. As the stakes ramp up and Kento learns about just how complex the world is, the themes of justice and non-violence become even more important.
