Synopsis

On the run for crimes she did not commit, disgraced noblewoman Charlotte Evans collapses deep in the forest. A sorcerer named Allen Crawford—also known as the "Demon Lord"—finds and defends Charlotte from her pursuers. Since she has no place left to go, Allen takes pity on Charlotte and offers to hire her as a live-in maid.

Allen quickly realizes that Charlotte has faced ridicule and hatred all her life from her so-called noble family, and she has never known what true freedom feels like. He decides to teach her about all the naughty things the world has to offer and enables her to surrender to her whims and impulses. Charlotte's sweet innocence proves an obstacle to his plans, but Allen is determined to show her the kind of life her family has denied her.

Although he despises being social, Allen begins to open himself up to Charlotte. The longer they live together, the more they discover their similarities. Though most people have abandoned them, the duo promises to stay together, oblivious to their budding feelings for each other.

I know what you're probably thinking. How far can we stray from the light of God with such a cheesey premise? That was my first thought upon reading the synopsis. The promotional material does make the show look more innocent but nowadays, you know you shouldn't judge everything shown on the screen. Or should you?

Our main leads Allen Crawford and Charlotte Evans couldn't be any more different. One earned the moniker 'Demon Lord' for his intimidating appearance and powers while Charlotte is a pure innocent girl . The idea of Allen trying to teach Charlotte to be naughty sounds controversial at first. We might get ... the idea that Allen has perverted intentions or ulterior motives. However, the truth is that he just wants Charlotte to be more confident and enjoy life as it is. Compared to most people Allen has met, Charlotte is a truly honest and friendly person. Despite having met each other not for long, it felt like Allen and Charlotte were always destined to be paired up.

Watching the show can be described as cozy, almost slice-of-life experience. While fantasy elements are factored in with an adventurous vibe, the show overall has an easy going momentum. Although Allen does have an intimdiating appearance combined with his deep voice, he is a far cry from what people actually believe him to be. In reality, Allen is a gentleman who loves to experience the freedom of life. He wants to share that freedom with Charlotte and that makes the bulk of their adventure. Let's get facts straight here. There's no ecchi or naughty fan service. This is one of the more innocent anime this year. Instead of using fan service, it builds on a relationship that slowly evolves over time with each episode.

That being said, don't expect the show to be a one that is deeply narrative driven. While it has some deeper roots with backgrond stories, origins, and characterization, it's not complex either. On the other hand, it's also clear this show is not designed for a wide audience. It's almost niche with its romance in that it's too innocent and cartoony. Charlotte is protrayed as a young girl that is way too one dimensional. She doesn't undergo noticable changes and remains relatively the same person from the start to finish. The same can be said for Allen and his peculiar agenda. It doesn't also help that most of the supporting cast can't hold much of a candle to our main leads. Some show up for one episode and are never seen again. For those with recurring appearances such as Eruca and Miacha, they are there to just make our main characters look better.

The show has a simple artistic style that mostly speaks for itself. It's adapted from a light novel that matches the characteristics of of the cast. Although nothing stellar can be said for the cherography or backgrounds, it has a simple fantasy look that appeal to that genre. Allen's character design gives him a masculine appeal, a sharp contrast to Charlotte's innocent charms. When watching the show, their character expressions often contrast each other in various moments. Unfortunately, Charlotte's reactions often comes off with too much cartoony moments. I suppose the show wanted to adapt her character in the safest way possible but it feels like if you've seen it once, you've seen it all.

By no means is this show a masterpiece. This anime probably slipped under a lot of people's radars with its deceptive title. Plus, the fantasy genre seems to be oversaturated these days and this may appear as one of those again. Yet, this anime has is innocent charm connecting its two main leads on their self discovery journey.

Mixed Feelings

I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness - Oh, how disgraceful, how naughty I am...to receive a free dose of mischief that's worth a lifetime of guilty pleasures from my benefactor? I don't deserve this...or am I secretly wishing for it...?

We are so finally back to seeing absurdly long-for-no-reason named LN titles, one of which is author Sametarou Fukada's Konyaku Haki sareta Reijou wo Hirotta Ore ga, Ikenai Koto wo Oshiekomu (or just shortened to IkenaiKyo), which is as the title claims it: giving the oppressed a life of happiness as the most treasured girl in the whole wide ... world, yeah. I know it sounds like a Disney-ish cringe premise where it partially fulfils the "prince and princess" plotline having both a wizard and maid be intimate with one another through activities that sounds like it came straight out of a Hentai plot premise, which absolutely isn't the case. It's definitely on the sweet, self-indulgence side...but in the same ironic way, it also shuffled itself into a corner.

The story of a noblewoman who is the black sheep of her family begins with false accusations made in her name: the demotion from being a potential marriage partner to the family maid, and then complete exile as she makes a runaway from her family mansion, only to be chased by the guards warranting her complete death. But to this petite lady who had essentially run away from home, Charlotte Evans found herself in a part of the forest that's cordoned off by a rather misanthropic wizard by the name of Allen Crawford, whom people know has the fearful Demon Lord and dare not rouse him for his powerful magic. Being in his safety zone of a solitary mansion, Allen finds Charlotte's misanthropy a suffering, pitiful story and decides to change her life for the better...by introducing said "crash course in naughtiness", where nothing in life is ever that naughty, from indulging in sweet treats like cakes, to spending time being in one's comfort zone, literally being the "wicked sorcerer" guardian over the innocent girl's pampering, and leaving a trail of nothing but pure self-indulgence. If you're thinking that this is sweet as molasses, read on.

To the Average Joe, IkenaiKyo is nothing more than the subservient fantasy rom-com between a hard-and-fast Demon Lord who is always conscious of his actions towards the innocence that is the former noblewoman, and you'll be right in every objective of the sense. Personally, while Allen and Charlotte's relationship is one that I can slowly warm to over time, there isn't really much of a plot per se other than trying to restore relations between Charlotte and the family who backstabbed her in the first place. To that extent, by having Charlotte around Allen's comfort zone is a good call, as this is equivocally her first dibs of experiencing the outside world, as well as the characters that would help liven up the potential couple's growth into pure, decadent happiness. Characters like Allen's own catnip sister Eruca; the mail~nyan Miacha Bastetos; as well as the Fenrir Lü, and hell capybara Gosetsu (who, when transformed into a human, he's a man in a woman's body...which is just plain WTF levels of bizarre), all add to the "hilarity" of Allen's co-existence with Charlotte by always pushing the latter's innocence to feel like Allen's efforts are more than just his subconscious way of caring for her, almost akin to forcing them to be the established couple. It's fun, but it can feel empty at times, not knowing where the story really wants to go.

And in many ways, the source material itself is really the series' Achilles' heel. The LN clocking in at just 3 volumes since March 2020 (with the latest volume only released as of July 2021), and it's surprisingly not being published by the big corporations of neither Shueisha, Kodansha, nor Shogakugan (with the exception that Kodansha just recently licensed the manga adaptation of the LN for the US market). This feels like a pet project that gives the author lots of time to expand on his or her ideas (you can tell that the ideas listed in the anime have things in common with each other). But factor in the "Time waits for no man" adage, and it's a slow burn (for sure) that the anime is pretty much the closest thing to a near-complete, incomplete/ongoing adaptation that you're going to get. That said, regarding the studio collaboration of Zero-G and Digital Network Animation (who produced the god-awful Kimi wa Kanata, which was a spectacular box-office bomb), the production isn't as stellar but only mediocre to decent (given that Zero-G bears much of the production). The same goes for the music, which is neither remarkable nor memorable in my book.

Despite the rather cuddly nature of the show, IkenaiKyo is a show that will no doubt serve its audience with cutesy moments and the like, but for the people who want to see a serious plotline, you're just going to have to find it elsewhere. This is a comfy show after all, made to impress those who are having a bad day and want some semblance of fictional happiness, and it does that formula well. It's awkward and sometimes cringe-worthy, but maybe you'll like it...?

One of the worst anime I've ever watched.

This show is what happen when you take a dare I say interesting premise and then ruin it with terrible story progression, borderline unnecessary characters, and I can't believe I'm saying this but too much comic relief if that even is a sentence.

The plot boils down to a girl named Charlotte who is apparently framed for no good reason by her adoptive family after years living like a servant in the household, she ran away and our male protagonist, Allen found her unconscious in the forest, with the heart of a benefactor, he decided to take her in. ...
