Synopsis

Under the tutelage of the great demon warlock Romberg, Ike grew up with knowledge regarding an ancient advanced civilization that once ruled the land. Coupled with his innate talent in magical arts, this upbringing allows Ike to quickly rise in the Demon Lord's army ranks, leading his brigade to consecutive victories against humans.

However, Ike has a secret—he is a human himself. Despite knowing all too well the consequences if this information is ever to leak, Ike is willing to face such immense danger to achieve his goal: find a way for humans and demons to coexist and stop the war that has been carried on for far too long.

I liked this show for the following:
- Medieval fantasy setting
- No characters seem truly OP yet, all have a weakness and go through trouble
- MC has an interesting backstory
- Large-scale battles, tactics, kingdoms
- Human/demon interactions are interesting
- MC has a secret identity

I disliked this show for the following:
- Harem-like aspects (to be fair one is a pig-demon-man, though)

The anime is good, better than expected, its story tends to be a little interesting, the affection of the main character makes the anime watchable, as well as the maid and the pig, it also has other interesting things in its story, especially on the side that, there are objects and indications of a much more advanced human civilization that was lost in time (although it does not focus on this, it only mentions it). It is an anime with an interesting premise, but the low budget in animation takes away too much from it, taking into account that after the management of territories, this ...

Weak storyline, the plot is boring. I can't understand why some reviewers talk about "rebirth in another world". I didn't even notice a scene like that.

The episodes are action-packed but most of the scenes don't make sense. Like episode 8, for example. The hole in the wall is patched up with a spell, only to then open a new hole in a different place during a counterattack.

Military and strategic decisions are absolute nonsense. On second glance, they probably tried to add a "harem touch" but apparently didn't quite follow through with this idea.

I really wonder where all these animes without a meaningful story come from. ...
