DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION (dub) eps 14-17
New beginnings.
14 to 16 finishes the main plot and 17 goes back to the end of 0. I found the ending somewhat of a cop out (the father of Kadode, who was the focus of ep 0, uses the mind shifting machine to change the past so the invasion never happens!), but enjoyed the rest of the story quite a lot with a set of interesting characters and the main theme about friendship. There's lots of other themes about society and government and some of it quite dark and plenty of weirdness too, but the weirdness to depressing ratio is the flip of Goodnight Punpun, so, so much more enjoyable.
Art and animation were very good. Asano's art is quite unique, especially the character designs and whilst I haven't read the manga they seem to have captured that well.
8/10
