Black Torch
Although he may appear rough-and-tumble, Jiro Azuma’s compassionate side emerges when it comes to the furry critters he can communicate with. But Jiro's soft spot for animals gets him in major trouble when a suspicious stray cat fuses with him, granting him exceptional power but also dragging him into humanity's hidden battle against powerful Japanese spirits, mononoke.
Malgré son apparence rude et bagarreuse, Jiro Azuma révèle sa compassion envers les animaux avec lesquels il peut communiquer. Mais sa tendresse pour les bêtes lui cause de sérieux ennuis lorsqu'un chat errant suspect fusionne avec lui, lui conférant un pouvoir exceptionnel mais l'entraînant également dans la lutte secrète de l'humanité contre les puissants esprits japonais, les mononoke.

Mr. G
Another rockin' opening track. Interesting combo of a protagonist ninja in training, monsters of the week, and secret government organizations. Detailed characters, detailed backgrounds, good comedic setup and delivery. has a black cat. Almost has an Ushio and Tora meets kaiju no. 8 vibe. Ending track is a easy listening/soft-rock kinda thing.

This was more fun than I was expecting it to be.
It kind of reminded me of Chainsaw Man in how the main character is a bottom rung delinquent type that suddenly finds himself in the middle of a battle to save innocents.
It had a lot of the standard shounen tropes, but it was still fun.

Ok characters so far, not bad action. Hopefully it will hit its stride once the supporting characters are revealed.
Michael Eh?
Rocking sound track, great acting, superb animation yet something seems off. It feels like every other Shounen Jump series. Even while we watch the similarities kept coming up of series before this that were oddly familiar. It does have anything to do with the show but the industry which drains creativity for same old, same old that they feel that sells. For first time viewers of this genre, this shjow for you. For us anime veterans, it's kind of a bore.
