| What we were advertized |
The best part of the anime is the devil's design (except for the katana devil where the studio practically plagiarized itself, since the design is the same as chainsaw man) and the fights if you ignore their outcome. Now, the main character s a joke, so when they try to make him sound serious after nine episodes of the guy saying "Touching boobs is my dream" or "I'm putting my life on the line every day killing demons so I can bone my boss" it's really hard to believe him.

| What we were given. Funny thing nothing ever happens, it's all tease |
To speak truly, I'd say that Aki, the generic broody character with a revenge quest, would make a better main character and that Chainsaw should be the comic relief. As for the outcome of the fights, the second part of the season makes it clear that relevant characters have plot armor thicker than China's wall. They can get shot in the head, split in half, stabbed through the skull, choked to death, etc, just give them a couple of minutes and they're peachy back again so that practically settles that they'll win every fight to come since they can't die.
There are other plot holes, such as if they want to find the gun devil, which is a gun dealer, they can just follow the money trail just like they would do with any normal dealer. Or, don't send your squads to a gunfight with a suit and a knife, send them with armor and assault rifles, and provide them with backup and snipers. No wonder they all go private. I think that the "ecchi" component is unnecessary and that it ruins the mood. Not to mention that the ending is weak, completely lacking thrill, reducing the impression the anime causes. 4/10
