    Wow I can’t believe that racists are latching onto the anime whose premise is “every single member of this race is inexorably evil and they must all be exterminated, yes, even the children, and anyone who shows sympathy for them is a sentimental fool”

      To be fair, the show’s main theme seems to be about forming connections with others and enjoying the time you spend together, even if it is very short.

      Which is why the demon stuff bothers me so much, it just makes no sense in a show like this and actively goes against the core theme of the show. It’s a baffling writing choice.
