Reviewers on platforms like Reddit have mixed feelings about the Funimation English dub:
: The episode begins peacefully but quickly escalates when Basara is attacked by a mysterious time-based power, turning people into zombies. Critics note that while the first half relies on typical harem tropes, the second act finds its footing by focusing on Mio and Maria's true origins and the rising political tension in the demon realm.
