Episode 1 definitely feels like an introductory episode, so don’t get your hopes up for anything mind-blowing or dramatic, but it’s also light-hearted, funny, and it’s nice to see characters you love in a game get animated, as we now get to look forward to even more content with our favourite demon brothers. In short, I loved this first episode, and I’m interested to see what the rest of the series has in store. I also think it will work well on YouTube as a way for potential new players to find the series, and, by extension, the game. I’ve been playing Obey Me for a long time now, and seeing the characters I’ve come to love in an animated episode made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I could definitely see what they were going for with this episode. I’m not sure if this will continue for the rest of the series, or if the first episode was just focusing on the demon brothers, but I thought the decision to include the protagonist using the default icon of a sheep was a genius idea, as it allows for stories involving MC without taking away from the appeal of having a genderless, appearance-less protagonist in the game. My only criticism is that in the lead up to the anime, we were shown teasers that included MC as a sheep in some of the scenes, but MC didn’t appear in the first episode at all. There was also no romance, but as this episode was short and seemed to be designed as an introduction to Obey Me and the new series, it would have been difficult to squeeze in more than they already did. The episode took place solely in the family meeting and was more focused on the slice-of-life comedy elements than anything dramatic or adventurous. It also felt like they were showing off the fact that they’re animated, as the set-up with the mobile game allowed them to showcase lots of different facial expressions for each character. Plus, they each get the spotlight for a little while, allowing viewers to get a glimpse of their personalities if they’re not already familiar with the game. While the episode is short, it’s also cute, funny, and feels very typical of the kinds of interactions we see in the game.Įpisode #1 definitely serves its function as an introduction, as all of the demon brothers appear in the episode with their names coming up on the screen when they get their moment to speak for the first time. The episode takes place during a family meeting to figure out how to boost their average and, of course, the brothers all come to the conclusion that Mammon is the one holding them back. The first episode of Obey Me! The Anime gives us a glimpse of the day-to-day life in the House of Lamentation, with the demon brothers discussing their low grade average at R.A.D (the demon academy they all attend).
