Devils' Line is an anime based on the manga series by Ryo Hanada. The story takes place in a world where there exists a species known as vampires, called devils. These devils, while not necessarily evil, must rely on human blood to survive.

Season 1 Episode 1, entitled "Dark Side," introduces us to Tsukasa Taira, a college student who becomes involved with a devil named Anzai. Anzai is a half-devil, born from the union of a devil and a human, and works for a special police force that deals with devil-related crimes. He rescues Tsukasa from a group of devils who were attacking her, but not before she sees his inhuman strength and speed.

As Tsukasa tries to process what she witnessed, Anzai is plagued by his own inner demons. He struggles to maintain control over his devil impulses, which are especially strong when in the presence of human blood. His partner at work, Ishimaru, constantly reminds him of the potential dangers of being in a relationship with a human, but Anzai finds it difficult to stay away from Tsukasa.

Meanwhile, the presence of devils in society has caused tension between humans and non-humans. There are those who believe that all devils are dangerous and must be purged from society, while others advocate for coexistence. In this episode, we see a protest against devils outside of a courthouse, where a trial is taking place for a devil who allegedly attacked a human.

As Anzai tries to figure out his feelings for Tsukasa and come to terms with his own identity as a half-devil, he and Ishimaru are called to investigate a string of murders of women by a devil who is able to blend in with humans due to his ability to hide his fangs.

The episode does a great job of setting up the world and introducing the main characters and conflicts. The animation is solid and the music is appropriate for the tone of the show. The dynamic between Anzai and Tsukasa is intriguing, as both characters are dealing with their own personal struggles and it remains to be seen how their relationship will progress.

Overall, "Dark Side" is a promising start to the series and leaves the viewer interested to see where the story will go in the following episodes.
