For the first time ever the hype didn’t disappoint. Honestly a breath of fresh air for anime, my only complaint is I wish it was longer.

It makes no sense to consider anyone as born with any morality (let alone set with one), since morality isn’t really part of the world as such. But the demons inexplicably have basically an ideology to kill humans stuck in their brain that can’t be changed and that’s reactionary as fuck to write, nothing good comes of it. They had a softball among softballs with the infant demon to demonstrate that it’s like a cultural divide that devolved into racism, but nope, demon orphan killed the humans who raised her. The only way that it could possibly be redeemed is if later on this was shown to be some kind of elaborate trick by a party invested in keeping the conflict going.
I can guarantee you weren’t paying attention during this. The demon didn’t do this out of some malice stemming from her demonhood, she literally did this in an attempt to make amends to the other villager. She killed the child of one of the villagers before she was adopted so she got another child as an offering.
Demons aren’t malicious or evil in this setting, their thinking patterns are just fundamentally alien and that leads to conflict. Demons and humans cannot understand each other, that is the conflict in this setting. Demons aren’t born with some sort of natural hatred of mankind.
This is like saying the fucking Cthuhlhu is problematic it’s a sentient lifeform too.
