The first episode was titled "Sunday's Melancholy". The episode went over what happened when Hibiki, Daichi, and Io first encountered the demons, and it also included the battle with Dubhe :P The episode itself went through the events pretty quickly but managed to make each scene feel epic.
Characters introduced - Hibiki Kuze (Protagonist), Daichi Shijima, Io Nitta, Makoto Sako
Characters who made an appearance (outside of the opening) - Yamato Hotsuin
The episode starts off the same as the game. Hibiki and Daichi finished writing a practice exam and are about to head home. On their way there, Daichi mentions Nicaea to Hibiki and registers him. When he registers, he ends up getting the female Tico XD
Things start picking up once they get to the subway. They see Io Nitta and they get a message of Nicaea. The message contains a video of everyone in the subway getting killed by a train that derails. And just like in the game, the video comes true, but the right before Hibiki dies, his cellphone turns on and Nicaea downloads the Demon Summoning App onto his phone. Hibiki, Daichi, and Io then get attacked by 3 Kobolds. This is when Io summons her demon, Ogre. Daichi also summons is demon, Poltergeist. The 2 demons manage to fight the Kobolds long enough for the 3 teens to escape.
Upon leaving the subway, they find out that Japan got hit by a powerful earthquake and that all subway lines are unavailable. All of Japan then loses all power, leaving everyone with no way of communicating with their families. Hibiki, Daichi, and Io decide to take Io to here home since Hibiki and Daichi can't get to their homes. On their way to her home, the run into the first Septentrion: Dubhe. Daichi manages to escape and Io summons Ogre to protect them. However, he wasn't strong enough to take down Dubhe and gets killed. Daichi then drives in with a truck and crashes right into Dubhe and explodes in the process. Thinking Daichi is dead, Hibiki summons his demon, the powerful Byakko. Since Hibiki and Byakko are awesome and overpowered, Dubhe gets completely destroyed by Byakko. It is also revealed that Daichi was saved by Io's second demon, Pixie.
The episode ends with Makoto and the JPs capturing the 3 teens and with the Anguished One making a quick appearance (I love his voice btw).
Overall, the episode was pretty good. It was a bit rushed at some parts but it's still good. It doesn't explain everything yet so you may feel a bit lost. The battle with Dubhe was exciting to watch, mostly because Hibiki was such a boss. The opening and ending themes were amazing (I ended up listening to the opening theme for 10 minutes straight). This was a solid first episode and I look forward to next week's episode. The voice actors were good as well. Tico sounds annoying (as expected), but everyone else sound great.
I have high expectations for this series, probably since I loved the game so much. I can't wait to see Jungo and Joe XD
