Maou-sama, Retry! (Demon Lord, Retry!)

Akira Oono is an ordinary working adult who manages the MMORPG Infinity Game. Fifteen years after creating the game, Oono decides to shut the servers down once and for all. However, as the clock strikes midnight, he somehow finds himself in the body of middle-aged Hakuto Kunai, Infinity Game's Demon Lord!

Soon after his mysterious transportation, he witnesses the demon Greole chasing after a little girl named Aku. Although he effortlessly dispatches the creature, Hakuto is still concerned; after all, he does not remember creating the girl or the demon! Doubting whether he truly is in the world of his creation, Hakuto decides to investigate. Bringing Aku along as his guide and companion, Hakuto sets out on a journey to find out exactly who or what summoned him to this fantasy world—all while leaving chaos and destruction in his wake.

This show is extremely entertaining. Now look, I'll be the first to admit that the humor is not everyones cup of tea but if you like this type of tea, then you will be highly satisfied.

The characters are charming and feel like real people in the most anime absurd way. ...

I actually like these shows where it's an almost peaceful approach in a fantasy world isekai or not. But I'm not here to talk about my personal preference since this review is for the general audience.

There's not much conflict either that may put the MC into the edge, although I would wish to expect that on Season 2. There are some nice concepts of the show though that I would like to address such as ...

Feels like the product of a studio that didn't put in much effort.

For action, it's mostly slideshow style in that there's an enemy, an attack, and then the after effects rather than actually animating combat and making things look good.

For comedy and characters, not enough animation is put into facial expressions or body movements for these to look that good either. The voice actors always do a good ...
