DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION Ep. 14 is one of the most chaotic episodes of this anime yet. There’s just so many things happening all at once that it gets a bit hectic even to keep up with the story. The most notable thing you can take away from this episode is: violence. Blood and gore too. There’s just so much of them here. I don’t think action junkies will have any problem with this episode.

Hoo boy, DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION Ep. 14 was definitely a wild ride, and that is the primary reason why it’s the best part of this episode. There’s just so much going on. Starting with the main characters not even appearing at all in this episode, to a massive firefight and bombing raid resulting in genocide going on, action junkies won’t be left wanting here. Heck, there’s even an intense close range knife fight and gun fu sequence. Seriously, this episode has everything in terms of action. Inio Asano is utterly defying the previous slice of life segments of the story, and it’s gone full Independence Day now. Once you go full Independence Day, you don’t go back.
Complementing that story is the animation, but for a far different reason than in most previous episodes. Production +h. are still providing quality animation as before, but now for an entirely different genre of anime. As it turns out, they’re also good at animating military science fiction and action thriller story, too. Just as good as their slice of life segments before. Seriously, the blood spray is disturbingly realistic, regardless of whether it’s coming from aliens or humans.

Funnily enough, DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION Ep. 14 might be a bit too intense for fans of slice of life. Thus, perhaps you might wish to enjoy something more relaxing after this? If so, then perhaps you might wish to check out Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF, Senpai is an Otokonoko, or My Deer Friend Nokotan? Those are quite fluffy anime for you to chill to.
