While I can sympathize with that perception, I did say it was the opening text - that's literally the first second of the first episode.

Concerning my statement of the above spoiler...
It is an issue, as in the book, while the world they are in is different, many of the names are the same, so it comes off as it being our world, but not quite our world. Then later...
...so it is odd that they chose to do that.
You discover that there is a world that is OUR world, it is one of quite a few that all border each other.

Daemons can speak in the books. As they get older, they tend to do it less, save for to their partner.
The armored bears and other species are not Daemons and do not have Daemons. They can speak in the books, though when communicating in English, it tends to be broken or with difficulty in the tenses.
Foxes, Bears, and a few others were confirmed to be sapient/able to communicate, but it is never mentioned if every animal in that world can.

I thought that the first episode was perfect.
Hyped to see the end of season plot twist with the actors they got to play the roles. It's going to be nuts and I still can't believe they left it out of the movie.
The thing I'm most looking forward to is the opening to season 2 though.

There are topics in this series that religious fundamentalist get completely rustled over. They get upset likely because religion has, does, and undoubtebly will be used for ill-effect and people have a hard time reconciling that. As a Christian I consider it entertainment with an honest, if biting, message to what religion can become when weaponized. That said, I didn't get offended by it and its one of my favorite series. I won't say any more to avoid spoilers...but it's a pretty wild ride.

Way too harsh? I mean, I can't think of any show where I initially wasn't familiar with ANY of the characters yet cared deeply about them within 20 minutes? Come on.

I just looked we actually watched 40 mins, but I get your point. I guess my question is...will this be worth watching? As of right now I am just bored with it.
