Catzye Take
This is a fantastic development for anyone who loved Little Bird, and even those unfamiliar should pay attention. The 'slay a god' premise has massive shonen energy, but knowing these creators, it’ll be a much darker, more artistic take. Fans looking for something ambitious and visually striking will want to check this out.
