Seiken Gakuin no Makentsukai

The battle against the forces of evil is nearing its end as the Undead King Leonis Death Magnus remains the sole survivor of the Dark Lords. Standing no chance alone against his enemies, Leonis seals himself deep underground with the goal of reincarnating a thousand years later and rebuilding his demonic army.

Within the span of a millennium, however, everything has changed. People no longer remember the great war that led to Leonis' defeat and instead face a new threat—the monstrous creatures known as Voids. Magical devices have replaced sorcery, and humans with special powers—manifested in the form of weapons called Holy Swords—train at the Excalibur Academy to fight the Voids.

Reborn as a 10-year-old human boy, Leonis meets Riselia Ray Crystalia, a dutiful girl who stumbles upon the ruins of his hibernation chamber. Believing that Leonis has amnesia, Riselia offers him guidance and enrolls him at the Excalibur Academy. Leonis still intends to take over the world, but he must first familiarize himself with a reality completely different from all he knows.

This might be one of the most underrated series I’ve ever watched. The lore runs deep, with each episode gradually revealing more about the world, the MC, and the main group's background. Every single episode kept me engaged, especially the later ones. IMO, people rate it way too harshly—I almost skipped this one after reading some reviews.

The anime has plenty of funny moments, and while it does use CGI at times, the animation isn’t bad at all. The enemy monster designs, known as "Voids," are pretty cool, too. There's no harem (at least from what I can tell from Season 1 and the wiki), which ... I really appreciated. Outside of the main group, the side characters don’t have much depth, but honestly, that didn’t bother me

Power scaling isn’t taken too seriously here, but I’d still consider it a power fantasy since the MC never loses. The main group—especially the female lead after her power-up—is very competent, so the MC isn’t carrying everything by himself. There are some cliché moments here and there, but overall, this series is promising.

Is this a top-tier, mainstream-worthy anime? No. But it’s a solid watch, and if you’re into action-fantasy series with an engaging world, you should definitely give it a try

Mixed Feelings

A simple fantasy sci-fi anime with surprises in it, though with some nice and smooth animation.

This show revolves around a demon lord that is defeated and decides to hibernate for a thousand years. To then wake up in the future with a weaker form and where humans have forgotten how to use magic, and technology now mostly rules. You then follow how he becomes a part of a squad only made up of women, and has made strong relation to one of them.

The plot in itself is in no way mind baffling, and is honestly very predictable with little to any plot twists. The plot ... is still building on itself and is making progression in the story, though be it a rather bland one.

The characters are not that original or very interesting, only showing very few deeper details to them. None of them seems extremely irritating, dumb or something similar, they just seem very stereotypical and bland. For the relations and development of the characters are some shown, but not as much as would be expected over 12 episodes, which is somewhat disappointing, since that could have helped spicing up the show.

When it comes to animation, is it rather clean and has some great details for some effects, which makes it more pleasant to watch. It also has few fan service moments spread out through the series.

Overall would i say it is a bland anime with an OP main character and has nothing special to it. But it is not doing anything clearly bad, so if you just like this kind of anime or want something easy to watch then it might be worth watching, otherwise I would look elsewhere.

If you look up the source material for this drek, you’ll see something that has become increasingly familiar in this Post Modern trash heap of a world we live in. A manga, or “Light novel” that looks suspiciously like every other light novel coming out these days. It’s a bunch of random-character-generator waifus created in a program like Manga Studio, with generic faces made by the program, dressed up in outfits that were picked from the program, colored by swatches in the program, arranged into manga panels with the program, by an author who probably couldn’t draw a stick figure if you asked him to. ... I’ve noticed nearly all the Current Day anime and manga media tends to look the same. It’s totally generic, looks like everything else, because it was made the same way as everything else. There’s no art here, no individual style, no creativity, because there doesn’t need to be. But something had to be put together- a story had to be told to justify smearing this crap across however many screens- and the story we have here sums up the author’s creative abilities perfectly: Confusing, directionless, random, juvenile, nonsensical, and stupid.

Oh boy here we go another “demon lord reincarnated” thing, and oh look- he threw the word Excalibur in there so people would actually look at it. It worked, and that’s right- Excalibur as you know it has absolutely zero to do with this entire story.
It started out as demon lord reincarnated into this shota boy, some buxom harem girls pop up around him, maybe one or two episodes took place at some generic magic school with some competition where MC can show off how overpowered he is… then it ditched the whole magic school thing and the story devolved into a monster taking over a ship, then a conspiracy involving a loli princess and these half-animal half human dudes, before it lost any concept of time or place or any story structure at all. One minute they’re fighting a monster thing that looks like tree roots with eyes, the next they’re RIDING IN A LIMOUSINE DRIVEN BY GHOST CHAUFFEURS. No joke. In another random scene the demon boy (Leonis) is at a table eating dinner with some orphan children and we have no idea who they are, and never find out. And I don't even know if they were orphans..

If you ask a twelve year old boy to write a story, the plot of this light novel is probably pretty close to what he’d come up with. A hero who looks like and is the same age as the author, surrounded by a bunch of pretty girls, and he’s OP, and fights monsters. Yup. The monsters range from big purple flying octopus looking things to leopard dudes and A GUY WITH A WOLF HEAD. By the end of episode 12, it didn’t even resemble what it had started out as.

What about the visuals- well, there isn’t much to say about it apart from don’t waste your time watching it. They’ve taken the different templates for “Futuristic looking city” (which has a white and blue hue) and “High Fantasy Country House” (with its orange and green hue) and mashed them together making completely off-kilter looking scenery. But it’s fun to pick out the parts where they didn’t have any template… because some things- like the monsters- look absolute cack against the rest of the CGI backdrop- precisely because of the fact that the guy who made this can’t draw and the staff couldn’t either.

If you take my advice and skip this anime you will have missed out on absolutely nothing. There are much better things to watch out there. Like literally anything.
