Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou

Dreaming of changing the world for good, Akuto Sai transfers to Constant Magic Academy where he befriends a virtuous ninja clan member, Junko Hattori. On the way to the academy, they vow to make the world a better place together; however, the situation suddenly takes a turn for the worse upon his arrival—it is prophesied that he will become the Demon King!

As word of his destiny spreads, the school begins to fear him, and Junko's trust in him falters. While Akuto is determined to not let his predicted future control his fate, it seems as though everything he says and does only serve to reinforce the fact that he is destined to be the Demon King. Moreover, he is surrounded by a harem of beautiful girls who each have their own plans for him, ranging from bringing him to justice to simply showering him with love. With his newly awakened powers, Akuto must cope with his constantly growing list of misfortunes and fight to prove that his fate is not set in stone.

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou (aka Demon King Daimo) is an echhi harem about the future demon king and his highschool life.

Akuto Sai dreams of one day become a high priest. Unfortunately he and the rest of the school find out he's destined to be the future demon king.

This ends up getting him all sorts of unwanted attention:

-Hattori Junko a blue haired girl, the first girl he forms a bond with at school hates him now. She provides alot of the fanservice.

-Korone a green haired government android who's job is to survey Akuto. She also provides alot of the fanservice. Arguably the best character. And the ... best tease.

-Soga Keena the redhead, an airhead who can turn invisible and is often times naked. She also provides alot of fanservice.

-Fujiko Etou, a purple haired girl who wants to rule the demon king. And as you can already guess she also provides fanservice.

-Eiko Teruya with long green hair who likes flirting with Akuto.

Akuto is admired by Miwa Hiroshi, a boy who admires him for being the demon king. But turns out Hiroshi is destined to be the hero.

The characters are all very entertaining. Had me constantly laughing.
At first i felt the show was introducing way too many characters way too quickly. Specifically the female characters. They just showed up so quickly one after the other. But ultimately i ended up liking them all.

Strangely enough for a harem that constantly shoves breasts and panty shots in your face it does take itself very seriously at times.
Episode 7 is where it starts to take a dive. Started taking itself way too seriously and lost its fun tone. It even became a sentai out of nowhere.
12 episodes was not enough to develop some aspects of the plot.

Mixed Feelings

Yeah so for this show I feel this was a decently low-quality show but tbh I'm saying it's a 7 because it was decent and the ecchi was pretty good too. Ok fine maybe the ecchi is what is bringing it to a 7 for me ok.
Story; well it started off well enough I liked it in the beginning and thought it was pretty cool, but then around the last 3 or 4 episodes it felt like wtf? the last episodes just came out of nowhere and didn't really make a whole lot of sense to the rest of the show. It also made ... me dislike the MC which sucks because I kinda liked him at first and I think if the show took its time getting to those last few episodes id like it a lot better.
Art; Yeah it looked pretty decent. I think a lot of the designs for stuff were pretty good not the best ever but above average.
Sound: Ok the OP doesn't need to go nearly as hard as it does especially for a show like this like the op is actually really good and this show kinda sucks in terms of quality, idk it's weird but I guess it's a good thing.
Characters; eh most of them are just alright. I like the main girl that's always naked the best, the blue-haired girl is cool too. The MC was fine in the beginning but I kinda started to hate him by the end it just seemed weird and out of character a lot of the stuff he was doing. Also didn't like how OP the MC was like I get he was supposed to be but like it was just too much I wasn't really a fan I wish he'd have to earn the power more. But yeah overall the characters were just kinda meh I did like the one girl tho I thought she was fun and interesting.
In terms of quality, id say this show is like a 6. Like it has some cool things going for it but tbh that's about it all the other stuff is just pretty average and I feel those not as good aspects really just keep the show at about a 6.
In terms of me liking this show yeah it's like a 7. I mean it might be low quality but it's still fun for me to watch and like I said the ecchi is pretty decent IMO and that automatically is always a good thing to me. So yeah the show might not be great but I still liked it a lot.

Rewatching it after a few years, and this is the most boring anime I've rewatched.

At first glance, this anime is actually quite good, but over time, this anime starts to get worse and more boring to watch.
Especially the character Hattori Junko Among all the characters, he is the most stupid figure and often misunderstands and acts arbitrarily without wanting to listen to any explanation.
Honestly, it's really boring seeing Hattori always misunderstanding what Sai Akuto does.
Sai Akuto is the same, he is too fickle in explaining the situation, so the misunderstanding ends up getting worse, lots of shouting, this and that, basically it is very uncomfortable ... to watch.

The most annoying thing in episode 4, if I'm not mistaken, was when Hattori and all the students decided to capture Sai Akuto, It was really brutal to see them taking turns shouting and trying to catch Sai, and it ended in a ridiculous way, all the students thought this was just a quarrel between lovers, WTF!

Maybe I used to like the Echi genre, without paying too much attention to the storyline and certain parts in an anime, but as time goes by and I watch more anime, I can conclude that this anime is too cliche, especially the chase scene by a group of students, which seems to be a characteristic of old-school anime, let's take an example like the anime Baka Testo where the MC is chased by all the students.
