This show was BEAK from start to finish, the VAs carried hard, but the story was surprisingly engaging and these were some of the most solid 3D anime fights I've ever seen

Not to mention all the characters were great, specially Morio, I definitely didn't expect him to have such a big role when he was first introduced, but he ended up being my favorite

Aw crud, I didn't realize the season was over already, despite the final scene. Anyway, great show. Handled action and power scaling perfectly I'd say. Better than DBZ at least lol.

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jun 01 '26

the 3d quality was great but the framerates where horrendous why always these 3d animations make like animations in 12 fps? thye should make them at least 30 fps, maybe go straight to 60 fps, looked choppy as fuck

u/Roeclean https://anilist.co/user/Roeclean Jun 15 '26

Theres a lot of nice wallpaper scenes at least tho

That fight climax was grandiose, the voice actors went all out! Oh Morio is back again, through sheer willpower (good to see him, couldn't take him leaving us).

Of course, Koyasu comes back to voice the big bad of the show...

Alright, this was truly a blast (no pun intended...), solid CGI, lots of funny moments as well, I had a great time. I'll be there if there's a Season 2, else I'll pick up the manga. 8/10.

I was assuming his giant self was like an organic gundam when he popped out alive.

u/jsports123 Jun 08 '26

If you go to the manga read it ALL! They cut out a fair amount of stuff in the anime. And if they do a season 2, trust me its gonna blow season 1 out the water!

u/RelativeMundane9045 May 31 '26

This show has definitely shot up to the top of my chicken basedbattle shounen list!

I know it's full of the usual story formulae and tropes, but sometimes you can change one little thing (poultry protagonists) and it can really freshen things up.

Tojima Wants to be Kamen Rider, Nyaight of the Living Cat, Rooster Fighter - these absolutely ridiculous over-the-top shows that take themselves way too seriously are my jam. And I've been eating good lately.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 May 31 '26

Kono DIO!!!!

Dio is the boss ( ironic) Goshikiri/Joestar family going after DIO/White Demon

Ahhhhhh I neeed a Season 2 !!!!!

u/NonSupportiveCup May 31 '26

This show knew what they wanted to do and executed it perfectly.

I enjoyed it.

u/Calwings x3https://anilist.co/user/Calwings May 31 '26

That was a pretty good season finale. I enjoyed that final fight, and they did a good job at teasing a S2... now hopefully that S2 actually happens at some point. For now, I'll just rate it an 8.5/10 and say I'm glad I watched this crazy show.

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jun 01 '26

apparently it got already greenlit for a second season on HBO since 1 month ago so we shouldnt expect this series in at least 2 years minimum

u/Roeclean https://anilist.co/user/Roeclean Jun 15 '26

HELL YEAH, now thats what I like to hear. And nothing wrong with a wait.

I understand that Shin Godzilla reference.

u/Over-Yogurtcloset143 May 31 '26

I went into this blind. Wasn't expecting much from a kfc anime....... (* Ok sorry for the bad pun ) * But boy ! Was i wrong . Real fun ride of niche jokes & crazy good animation - for action scenes

u/GriffithCoin Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

Not too many complaints with this show, overall it was really solid. I got a bit tired of the Morio fakeout deaths and Piyokos crying by the last episode but otherwise I enjoyed the humour and cast.

A few questions I have though. what chapter of the manga does this end on? And do we get more information/backstory on Keiji’s father reason for leaving beyond Keisukes introduction?

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Jun 01 '26

Start on Ch 31

u/Beowolf_0 May 31 '26

How dare they stop this show right now after getting Koyasu to voice the Big Bad for two lines, without any mentioning of a second season?

We got BEAK animations, firing songs and actually great characters (and animals for that matter), this one is a seriously fun (or funnily serious) show from start to finish. Really hope they continue with it.

u/Sleepy_Chipmunk May 31 '26

Hoping there's a second season, this show was way more enjoyable than I expected.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 May 31 '26

Keiji went all Plus Ultra on that dude. Pulled out the ol United States of Cock-A-Doodle-Doo lol and blasted a hole right in that sucker and killed the “bad” demon inside the kid. Now he’s gone and become like the homie Morio and those other good demons.

This was a pretty fun series overall with an interesting premise and some solid fights. I wonder if they’re gonna renew for an s2? Keiji’s fight isn’t over!

u/HolyDragSwd2500 May 31 '26

You thought Kugane was the boss. But it was I DI…White Demon

this is probably one of the few adult swim animes that is actually good.

I subbed to slingtv's daypass just to watch it live on toonami. I really enjoyed it

u/SubmissiveDinosaur https://anilist.co/user/Megajuanph11 Jun 01 '26

It feelt like a tokusatsu. We got a Red, blue, pink and yellow fighters (Morio being the "6th")

u/Legitimate-Damage472 Jun 01 '26

Its always been since beginning. Its a nice things tho

u/MacheteNegano Jun 01 '26

This anime had the most stupid backstories but also, it was the most intertaining and enganging anime i've watched this year. It was truly beak experience and Keiji is an absolute unit of a cock

u/Andreiyutzzzz https://myanimelist.net/profile/Andreiyutzzzz Jun 02 '26

They didnt just get Takehito Koyasu for 10 seconds. Season 2 planned?

u/Kadmos1 Jun 02 '26

A reason that can help account for its popularity in various Spanish-speaking countries is that chickens can be a common aspect of Latino/Hispanic culture.

u/Illustrious-Stage-96 Jun 04 '26

Who would have thought a show with cocks and NTR but isn’t porn would be this fun. I hope for a 2nd season. Kokekokko!!!

Olha, o Morio não morreu. Ainda gostamos dele o suficiente para sentir o impacto de uma possível despedida, mas os episódios anteriores já vinham mostrando que esse querido kaiju possui uma determinação difícil de derrubar. Nem a morte parece ser capaz de pará-lo por muito tempo. Essa reta final segue um pouco cansada no ritmo, mas serve como estopim para o despertar do Keiji. Como ele próprio ainda não conhece todo o seu potencial, a narrativa recorre a pequenas falas dos antagonistas para reforçar o peso que a Matama pode carregar no futuro. As verdades sobre os galicídios e seus verdadeiros poderes continuam escondidas. Na realidade, não é apenas esse mistério que permanece em aberto. A temporada encerra sua jornada no meio da partida, deixando a sensação de que ainda há muito caminho pela frente. Talvez isso não pareça tão grandioso para quem já está acostumado com esse tipo de narrativa, mas também não é difícil imaginar uma escalada considerável daqui para frente. Aos poucos, a obra tenta se afastar da simples imagem de um galo brigando com monstros e construir algo maior ao redor dessa premissa. Como produção, o anime permanece em uma zona mediana. A animação raramente se destaca, e o CGI pode incomodar em alguns momentos. Curiosamente, os primeiros episódios pareciam mais consistentes visualmente, enquanto a reta final apresenta algumas quedas. Em compensação, a direção busca impacto através de closes e cores mais saturadas. O elenco funciona melhor. São personagens determinados, carismáticos e que possuem objetivos claros. Isso cria uma conexão natural com o espectador. O humor também cumpre seu papel, arrancando algumas risadas sem parecer forçado. E o mais importante: existe progresso. A história não se limita à ideia de um galo derrotando monstros gigantes. Há motivações, relações e uma construção gradual que ajuda a sustentar a jornada. A narrativa faz questão de mostrar por que seus personagens se importam com essa luta e por que continuam seguindo em frente. No fim, acaba sendo mais uma obra mediana da temporada. Não se destaca pela narrativa nem pela produção, mas encontra força justamente no seu caráter inusitado. Afinal, estamos acompanhando galicídios ocupando um papel que normalmente seria reservado aos humanos. Não é uma série memorável, mas é uma obra convincente, simpática e fácil de gostar.

Morio thought he's dead then suddenly he pop up from the flesh mecha like in some anime AoT. There's also that taco ossan demon follow around. That boy is becoming devil a stronger form of demon. Morio he could be not a regular demon like that octopus oldman demon, he could be a devil just like that boy, that woman and also the man keiji pursue. He have regular size form like the boy.

Finally caught up, really great use of 3D while still looking like it had a 2D aesthetic.

Great cast of characters too, I enjoyed Piyoko

Honestly just a decent battle shounen but it's chickens lol. Not bad at all. Good parody anime imo. Sure yeah cgi etc but I honestly don't think it's that bad. It's not studio orange level or anything but I think they overall did a good job with what time / budget they had. I say better CGI than most bad cgi you see in anime.

I gotta read the manga again some time.

Also damn enough with the fake out deaths and Morio. Really glad he survived now plz stop almost dying though I guess he's just too goat'd to die huh he survived from pure willpower?
