An anime’s pilot is one of the most crucial things to its initial success. Quite a few series, like Pluto and Oshi no Ko, devote an entire hour to starting off their story just right. The first episode has to not only grab the attention of viewers with gripping scenes and dialogue, but also showcase everything that the anime could offer in terms of story, characters and animation.

An anime’s first episode is supposed to spark interest and promise audiences a tale worthy of their time. Countless great anime have had fantastic first episodes, but only a handful have had some truly amazing debuts, and even fewer live up to the promise of carrying that same quality into the rest of the series.

One of the trends coming out of anime recently is the focus on demon lord stories. While they have been a part of the medium for a long time, this trend has seen a recent surge in popularity.

They’re typically found leading massive armies of monsters or terrifying soldiers, and the fantastical places they rule are, if not actual Hell, then certainly hell…ish.
