Synopsis

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.

When they said he was so powerful all logic flew out the window they weren't kidding.
I have never seen an anime like this and tbh after reading people's reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but this turned out to be one of my favorite animes.

I saw a review saying 5/10 for story, idk how this story is a 5/10, it honestly kept me interested till the last episode, it's hard to find a unique series with a story this interesting in such a saturated genre.

I highly recommend this, although I do recognize that some people don't enjoy watching animes with OP MC's because that ...

Mixed Feelings
I really wanted to love The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History’s Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants (I don’t know why that title is so long)

The anime looks really interesting on the surface. But beneath that its kinda nonsensical and not very interesting.

I like all the characters. I just find the plot itself to not be that interesting. And the villains aren't interesting. So as a result i was not able to get sucked into the story or even really care about the results.

The main character is really cool but they made him too powerful where he can ...

This anime really only wasted the time that I wanted it to. I didn't love or hate it.

The characters were decent, but very flat. Sasha seemed like she was going to be an Asuka Langley-type character at first, but just acts really soft and out of character a lot. The rest of the characters just kind of did their job to progress the story.

The soundtrack was really nothing to boast. Fitting at best.

The fight scenes were pretty predictable, because if this guy is actually who he says that he is, he is obviously going to win.

The animation is pretty decent. There were a ...
