My Daemon

My Daemon follows Kento Tachibana, a kind-hearted boy whose mother falls ill in a ruined, post-apocalyptic Japan. With a tiny but fierce daemon companion named Anna at his side, Kento moves through shattered towns and dangerous ruins trying to secure help and protect what remains of his family. Shadowy forces close in, and encounters with hostile figures force Kento to rethink who he can trust and how far he'll go to keep his promise. The series leans on small, intimate moments as much as action, keeping major mysteries under wraps while the characters develop.

Released in 2023, My Daemon was created by Otsuichi and Nuchanat Prathumsuwan, and features voice talents Miyuri Shimabukuro, Cocoro Kikuchi, Ayane Sakura, Jouji Nakata, and Shou Okumura, and sparked fan discussion worldwide.

Early viewers have responded well, the series holding an 8.0/10 average from initial votes. Critics and fans note its effective mix of action and quiet drama, with themes of loyalty, the moral cost of survival, and how small acts of kindness persist in a harsh, ruined world, and performances and visuals are often praised.

Though recent, My Daemon has attracted an active online following for its daemon designs and melancholic tone. Fan art, theory threads, and cosplay posts kept discussion alive during its run, and its visual mood and character bond quickly became popular reference points among anime fans, and its emotional core resonated.

As of now, My Daemon hasn't secured major industry awards or high-profile nominations. It did generate attention on genre blogs and streaming lists, and a growing international fanbase might lead to more critical attention in future seasons.
