Dogengers Episode 1: Welcome to Kaioh

This episode is pure genius.

From second one, this episode knew exactly how to get me hooked and keep my attention all the way through.

It's paced like a drive-by of absolute crazy. Like someone comes by and chucks you right into a rollercoaster without any sort of warning. And I loved it all the way through!

Nothing in its short, 18-minute time frame is wasted here. So much goes on, and yet every event wonderfully flows into the next all while highlighting the larger than life personalities of everyone involved without ever becoming too much to handle.

The comedy is on point from the word go too. Going from a cold open that might make one think we're watching something more akin to Batman, only to then immediately hit you with the wonderfully crazy world that Dogengers actually is. All while still having a great emotional core with our main character, Jiro.

It's hands down one of my favorite first episodes in any show that I've seen, and I really couldn't think of any way to make it better. Love it.
