He and two companions leave their remote village to head to the Imperial City to find a way to relieve their friends and family from ruinous taxation imposed by the authorities. Yet the Imperial City is filled with unimaginable amounts of corruption and evil from supernatural sources. Tatsumi is immediately swindled after reaching the City and nearly loses everything soon after, but finds himself allied with an unlikely group of assassins. ## Watch Order #### S01E01 → S00E01 → S01E02 → S00E02 → ... ###### Each mini special aired after the main episode.

For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though. - All ASS subtitles have been resampled, if necessary. - All of the fonts (except those for English subtitles) are [subset](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/assfonts) in order to save space, meaning they contain only the necessary glyphs for their respective subtitles. ### Extras / Specials - Creditless OPs and EDs - "AkaKill!

I personally recommend the **[mpv media player](https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv)**, but [MPC-HC](https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases) or [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) also support AV1 playback. _Note that some newer versions of VLC have issues with Opus surround sound playback. If you must use it, [v3.0.20](https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/3.0.20) apparently doesn't have this problem._ ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | Direct Download | | :--: | :--: | :--: | | [Beatrice-Raws (7 558 kb/s) (source) vs. RigAV1 (1 276 kb/s) (encode) vs. Anime Time (1 584 kb/s) vs. Judas (1 507 kb/s) vs. Cleo (1 483 kb/s)](https://slow.pics/c/hGecD836) | [EP 01](https://bin.disroot.org/?1993af31371bb06b#EGN7Mpn3MLPWfvohQqqWvr3Q4N7gamY8geKo8LBM5gVc) | [Anime Tosho](https://animetosho.org/search?q=rigav1) w/ attachments | ___
