Overview

• The premiere episode picks up after Kafka Hibino’s identity reveal and uses flashbacks and nightmares to underline his inner conflict.
• Captain Gen Narumi debuts in the First Division as a laid-back gamer whose calm persona gives way to ruthless efficiency in battle.
• Reviewers have noted that multiple anime-original sequences pad the episode without advancing the core plot.
• Season 2 is officially slated for 11 episodes—one fewer than the first season—with specials and the theatrical compilation released separately.
• Arriving late in July, the series faces a crowded summer anime schedule that could hinder its ability to capture viewers.
