Demystifying Digital Devil Story

Aya Nishitani's "Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei" is known as the novel that birthed the entire Megami Tensei franchise - but did you know there ended up being nine of them split between two series? In this video, we'll have a discussion of the original Digital Devil Story trilogy, as well as the followup New Digital Devil Story series. What exactly goes down in these books? I'm doing my best to figure that out.
