A Smile in the Ruins
The contrast between his panic and her sudden, eerie smile at the end gave me chills. While he is sweating and terrified by the destruction, she seems almost pleased or resigned to it.

No dialogue is needed when the animation speaks this loudly. The way the red light fractures into blue shards mirrors the breaking of their reality. The detail in the blood pooling on the tiles and the dust motes dancing in the light beams is exquisite. It is these small details that make watching Seduce the Demon Queen or Die! such a visually rewarding experience on the app.
