Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old William Twining takes pride in his lineage as well as his devotion to modern science. When he learns that his family has gone bankrupt, the pompous noble is faced with the reality that he can no longer afford his tuition or the lifestyle he is accustomed to. In a desperate search for valuables in his manor, William discovers a hidden room and accidentally summons the arrogant demon Dantalion, the Grand Duke of Hell.

Apparently, Lucifer—the ruler of Hell—has fallen into a deep slumber. In his absence, only the human "Elector" has power to select a temporary successor, which is the cause of tension among demonkind. Although told that he is the direct descendant of King Solomon and has unshakable authority in the underworld, William refuses to believe it. While denying the existence of magic and the supernatural altogether, the defiant realist fails to recognize that he is at the center of the ongoing battle between Heaven and Hell.

Once again I'm left with a bunch of thoughts and unsolved mysteries.
I have stumbled upon Makai Ouji twice before deciding to watch it.
What can I say, third time is the charm.

This is one of the first anime I've watched where magic plays a big role.
I've never been much into that sort of stuff but Makai, that's a different tale.

I always go for the Shounen-Ai and things alike. Makai Ouji Was no disappointment.

The story was a bit repetitive despite there being only 12 episodes.
But personally, I don't mind that it's repetitive as long as I get to uncover more and more ...

Mixed Feelings
Makai Ouji is like chewing a particularly stale piece of Dubble Bubble: the more you chew, the more dissatisfied you get.

Hard-headed William spends the majority of the series denying his heritage, and therefore his affiliation with the supernatural, even when blatant evidence contrary to known science is presented to him. He's...cringy, in a way, because despite being so "smart" he never seems to learn from his mistakes, often leading the side characters to clean up his sorry mess. Generally, the theme is repetitive, the plot episodic, its only values stemming from new appearances that may or may not be lovable with backstories that may ...

This review has no spoilers.
First off, I would like to say that despite the fact that I never read the manga, I would suggest everyone read it rather than watch this anime. The adaptation is horrible, and through forum posts, I have learned that some major story segments have been cut out.

The story is bland. Simply bland. Its plot is somewhat stagnant, with very few things to keep the watcher hooked in. Each episode has its own rising action, climax, falling action, and epilogue as if each individual episode was a season of the anime... though only 23 minutes long. It might be ...
