7:15pm 10/3/2025, Today i finished watching Deaimon. Its been nearly almost half a year since I've watched Anime, since its been getting too boring for and the joy i used to have from watching it, felt like its already gone. One day i was just bored from playing games all day inside my room, since i couldnt go outside because of a typhoon, so i decided to give anime another chance to see if that joy and fun i've lost months ago would come back again. Sadly, that type of joy didnt come back, but something else new made its way into me.
After watching hundreds of animes Ive discovered something new about myself. I started watching anime from shounen and made its way from seinin to romance. I've watched mostly all of the good romance and shounens that my standards have been too high. I couldnt bare to watch an anime that goes below my standards, as my standards has been set to high from watching goated animes. Because of that its one of the reasons why i've lost my fun and joy, thought i dont regret it as it made me watch and find more underated but really good animes.
This time i decided to give another type of anime that ive barely watched before. I saw some reviews of Deaimon from the internet, and knew it was about a guy who left his band to take over his family's business and to take care a child that was abandoned. Though i didnt like the father and daughter type genre, i gave it a try, and it didnt disappoint me. Prolly one of the best Comfort animes ive ever watched (my favorite now). At first i didnt try to skip any parts since i really wanted to try to enjoy it.
But after watching it i kept getting hooked little by little. Though it looked kinda slow for me while watching it but it didn't have any boring parts to make me wanna skip it (except for some obvious dialouges). Some parts just wanted me to keep watching it to see what happens in the next episode. Like Nagomu and his Ex, like will they come back together? or something like that, my inner romance anime watcher self was literally cheering for them. I also wanted to see Itsuka to call nagamou "dad" and that last episode of her birthday didn't dissapoint though it wasnt as the one i had in mind, but it works out. Peak ending and hopefully creates a season 2.
Thanks to Deaimon I've started to have hope that there will be more other anime like this one that will give my joy of watching anime back. I really liked the character development of every character in this anime, though its not that big but you could see their developments even if its just small. I like how Nagomu is so straightforward with his feelings and acts very childish. Though he seems immature sometimes, he's still considerate of other people's feelings and takes care of them even in just a small way. He has a golden heart that would bring joy to everyone around him. I also love the way he acts from a stranger from the start to a loving dad who can't stop thinking about his child. He's always helping everyone when they're in need, even if its done by secret he does everything he can to help them. I love how hes such a big green flag, by keeping his promises and having a golden heart.
Lastly i also want to talk about Itsuka. She started of like a stubborn child, but after knowing her being abandoned by her father with no reasons, i started to understand her little by little just like Nagomu. She isnt very open with her feelings but with her new father, shell start to open up her feelings little by little.
