Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou

In the distant past, a war between humans and demons brought about widespread chaos and bloodshed. To put an end to this seemingly endless conflict, Demon King Anos Voldigoad willingly sacrificed his life, hoping to be reborn in a peaceful future.

In preparation for their king's return, the demon race created the Demon King Academy, an elite institution tasked with determining Anos' identity when he reawakens. He reincarnates two millennia later, but to his surprise, he soon learns that the level of magic in the world has drastically waned during his absence. Moreover, when he enrolls at the academy to reclaim his rightful title, he finds out that demonkind remembers him differently. His personality, his deeds, and even his legacy are all falsified—masked beneath the name of an impostor. This "lack" of common knowledge renders him the academy's outlier—a misfit never before seen in history.

Despite these drawbacks, Anos remains unfazed. As he sets out to uncover those altering his glorious past, he takes it upon himself to make his descendants recognize that their ruler has finally returned.

This show is absurd, question is it is absurd enough?

We have generic demonlord #641 reborn as the most OP of OPs and yada yada yada you know how this goes.

Actually... so does the author of this series. It's clearly a comedy with the OP character dialed up to 13. I mean can you take any of this seriously =

- Born literally one month ago.
- Started talking in that deep male voice right out of the womb.
- You know how the cool character spins a basketball on one finger? He spun a castle.
- Killed someone with his heart beat.
- Copy/pasted Hogwarts down to the ... owl system and the "mudblood" thing. On purpose, they are not spoofing or parodying it.

I don't think this should count as spoilers since they all happen in episode one... yes really. Are you willing to take it seriously with this first episode?!

It has something to say about classism as well as other messages like self worth and knowing who you are so I do appreciate that the power fantasy isn't the end goal, more the vehicle.

The characters are weak. You have a spoof of Asuka and Rei from Eva. They even used the "I am not a doll" meme as a plot point along the line. Also when it's being sincere it just comes off as generic and a little boring, the absurd part are the best.

This show is just fun. It knows what it is and aims to entertain with over the top scenarios.

Mixed Feelings

This show has one of the worst episode ones I have ever seen. After seeing half of the 1st episode, I wanted to turn it off. The fact that he is literally a month old is weird and it's when I had to stop. But after seeing more a little more of the show, they keep bring it up. Why!!! Its already weird enough, stop bringing it up!!!!
The show doesn't make much of an effort of building tension. Things build up almost immediately then drop just as fast. The characters are also boring. The harem of girl are useless, the 2 main girls are ... not pointless after the first few episodes. The main character himself is forgettable. He's just like every other anime protagonist out there.

At times this show can be interesting but at other times it can be boring and predictable.

Not Recommended

Started pretty strong. But the longer it went on the more the storyline started falling apart. I just stopped caring what was happening or even who the different characters were. Honestly, the only reason I got through it is because I liked it in the beginning and I’m stubborn.

Story: not unique
Characters: gave up trying to care about who was who or what they were at any given time.
Art style: the art was fine. One of the better aspects of the show

If you want to watch it, just stop after the first season. Your time would be better spent watching something else.
