Mairimashita! Iruma-kun (Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun)

Fourteen-year-old Iruma Suzuki has been unfortunate all his life, having to work to earn money for his irresponsible parents despite being underage. One day, he finds out that his parents sold him to the demon Sullivan. However, Iruma's worries about what will become of him are soon relieved, for Sullivan merely wants a grandchild, pampering him and making him attend the demon school Babyls.

At first, Iruma tries to keep a low profile in fear of his peers discovering that he is human. Unfortunately, this ends up being more difficult than he expected. It turns out that Sullivan himself is the chairman of the school, and everyone expects him to become the next Demon King!

Iruma immediately finds himself in an outrageous situation when he has to chant a forbidden spell in front of the entire school. With this, Iruma instantly earns a reputation he does not want. Even so, he is bound to be roped into more bizarre circumstances.

I was unsure, unsure of watching this. I thought it would be so generic and unfunny to roll my eyes. I thought that I'd hate the show and its characters. I thought if I start watching the anime I would have dropped it within the first 5 minutes. I thought of all this and decided to skip it. I decited to not watch it, and I ignored it. I ignored all the memes people were making of the show. I ignored all the videos on Youtube and all the possible outcomes to getting a single picture of the show in front of me. I indeed ... thought and did all of this.

That was my biggest mistake ever. That was something I should have never done to myself. The cover certainly didn't help. The plot either. I hadn't read the manga the anime was based off. I never heard someone talk about this serie before. For a moment I thought that Satan himself brought it to me as a kind of torture. But instead it t was Jesus who gave it to Santa Claus to give it to me. It was an early present, and what a present that was. A masterpiece of an anime. Oh yeah, the best gift imaginable.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is by far the most surprising anime I've seen in recent years. No one, with a good understanding of anime would have though that this anime would have been this good. Most of the "elite" people would have gone with the typical answer of "Ah yeah, it seems like another of those generic isekais that we're forced to endure until the end of time". Which, they're Certainly not wrong. As most viewers would do upon watching an anime is looking at the cover and considering this anime as a cover has certainly turned off a lot of viewers on ignoring it (as of myself) because of the genericness the show has (It certainly does have it, to some extent, tho). However, sometimes in order to know the liking of something you have to go balls deep. Sometimes you have to even force yourself into watching something as the final result might actually surprise you. It's not recommendable but sometimes efficient.

In my case, it didn't just surprise me as a whole but since the beginning I loved it. I loved every second of it. I loved the environment which resembles a lot to Soul Eater. I loved the characters and their design. I loved the premise. I loved the humor. I loved everything the show had to offer. The main character while not relatable to me I could see why he would be one of the greatest isekai protagonist out there. His charisma and his timing for a funny face of his is something I truly liked. It's funny. While sometimes some clichès can ruin a joke I was relieved that the amount of clichès here found didn't had any effect on them. It was as if they were telling two different jokes and I laughed at both. That kind of thing. The characters are also likable. Very much so. They even tend to overshadow the main character at times on how great they are. Their personalities definitely helps and that's the best part of the show. Their personalities. I keep repeating this but I can't help it on how great their personalities are. They're fun on screen and whatever happens be it good or not they're hilarious at any given time.

With that said, there's one thing that I have a complaint with and that is the amount of characters the show has. Because most of the time the story is set at school it leads no time for any character devolvement. There's some but it's not in a gran scale, but then again it's not it has a crazy amount of episodes to accomplish that task. Many of them are fodder, so I guess it doesn't matter.

As for the technical sound of the show, I'd say if the second best thing about the show. Especially the opening. The opening has been a blast and it's in English. We usually don't get too many openings on that language so it's a nice touch, i'd add. Also, there weren't too many OSTs throughout the show. It would have been greater if there'd been variety of it. Nonetheless, for what we've gotten, it was awesome.

As I previously said, I loved watching this anime. While it didn't bring anything new to the table I still think it's a fresh air of the usual isekai we get, don't you think? It's actually hilarious of an anime and I would recommend to anybody. Ah yeah... I forgot to add. Best female of the show is Amelie. Liked her personality and the design looks so damn good. Definitely waifu material.

I had fun watching this, and I hope you did too.

Sometimes we are tempted to exaggerate about a series. Mairimashita! Iruma-kun will give us that opportunity, but in the end, the series can be considered average. From some perspective, the series is for a demographic group, children, if we look at the character designs, the licensors, the plot all points to that. Despite all those facts, the series can be enjoyable for any group of age. I think that the series succeeded in the comedy execution, it is not the best, but it can bring a smile into our faces.

The story follows a youngster, Iruma, who is sold by his parents to the demon ... Sullivan. This demon takes him to the underworld and starts raising him as his grandson. As the plot advances, we follow Iruma’s daily routine and how he needs to find a way to survive in a world that “hates” the humans. Ironically as it seems, he enjoys more the demon world that humans, so this helps the plot and the character’s growth. However, not all is poetry. The show follows the typical iseaki rules. A guy goes to another world and is powerful. Is it the case of Iruma? Yes, it is. This kid can stand face to face against the fiercest demons from his school, and the only explanation given to us is, he suffered too much in the real world, or he received some sort of ring, that is childish but since it is a comedy we do not care too much about that.

On the other hand, the characters are enjoyable. There is a vast cast. It is necessary since the author needs to emulate a daily school routine. Without a big cast, the show will become the typical school anime with a small bunch of characters doing the same thing. Season example, Koisuru Asteroid. Also, I do not want to criticize, but it seems that almost all the spectators watched this show only for Ameri. Although she was a good and strong character if a different person than Saori voiced her, I bet that none would be saying the same. The main character, Iruma, is delightful. From a coward human, he ends as another “demon” that cares about his friends and his surroundings; he tries very hard to not been noticed, but he takes several risks for his new life, and all those risks lead us to some comedic and hilarious moments.

Asmodeus, he is talented and maybe the strongest demon in the school. He changes and becomes a great friend and Iruma’s support. In the beginning, you can see him as the typical school rival, but you will be glad that he changes and he is Iruma’s friendship anchor.

Clara, she maybe is the craziest demon around, her personality is very charming and cute. She is a delightful character that will make us smile with her craziness.

Ameri, she has a good personality, is reliable, is charming, and is a very dedicated demon, but her most significant development will appear in the second season. The best will come.

The art and the animation, the show has an acceptable animation. Do not misunderstand, but the palette and the design are childish. Makoto’s direction forced to use a bright and colorful palette to remove the dark and fearful demon’s traits. It is a widespread move when a director wants to deliver a show to kids, and that is reflected in the series’ actual ranking (1345) and the broadcasting time. The sound and the VO are acceptable and the voice fits the character’s personalities in most of the cases.

Finally, the show will make you laugh and have some hilarious moments. But here is the problem, you will laugh the first time, the second time maybe not (if there is a second time). As a friend said to me, the second time, you can consider the jokes average and weak. Mairimashita! Iruma-kun is a good series to spend your time, but I am sure you are not going to rewatch it, so that means that even if you liked and love it, the show does not deserve a score more than 7.0.

Mairimashita! Iruma-kun is a very charming anime. It is the kind of anime you start watching to feel relaxed and before you know it, you are invested in it so much you can't wait the week before the next episode comes out. It is that type of anime and I'm so glad I didn't miss out on it.

The plot is very easy to understand, it is about a boy who was sold to a devil by his parents and he has to try his best to hide that he is a human while going to a devil school. One of the things I liked ...
