Mmm next isekai... Fight (idk whether i should name it like that) between Lord Demon's and this Demon looked bad... Alone world is looking really bad for me.
It's going to be typical isekai but with one addition,bad animation.

Wait a minute. Was that a Samurai Jack reference they gave us there? Never thought I'd see one of those in an isekai anime of all things.

The Aku and Maou thing? I think the joke was that Aku means evil/wicked in Japanese and the main guy is Maou so it's like a perfect fit for them to be together.

Because of triggered isekai haters that can't wait to downvote any new isekai show

This feels like a '90s version of Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu, a really low budget one.
The MC can't make up his mind as to whether he's a player or the dev and whether he's gonna roleplay or not as his character, only good thing was SOME of the interactions between Aku and him.
Gonna give it another episode or till he starts Rimuruing.

I had medium expectations about this anime (maybe a solid 6/10 isekai genre), but this first episode was worse than my expectations.

I don't dislike how the MC enters the isekai world, it's exactly the same as Overlord, not a genius idea, but a decent one.

MC design... I doesn't like it a bit. A character from our s.XXI contemporaneus world into some fantasy medieval world, that's not that bad, but the real problem is the lack of charisma of this character, as a s. XXI demon lord leader of the mafia, is just a boring character, in example, Bungou Stray Dogs Port Mafia characters are way better with a lot more of charisma. It could be a perfect design for a support character that investigates crimes and go into dangerous places of a modern city, but not for a MC, especially with that plot and backstory. The smoke thing in a fantasy medieval world is another negative point.

Blonde loli design. Ok, I have no problem with it, generic without anything that stands out. Btw, her backstory looks forced, the people of the village hate her without a solid reason (and what happens at the end didn't help neither).

Demon/monster Greole. This was just to show MC powers, not bad.

Administrator privileges. Why didn't work the first time? limitations and usabilities? I hope for an explanation in future episodes.

Skill system. Looks weird, I hope for an explanation in future episodes.

Common languages thing. Interesting for the plot, but probably it will be something straigh forward without a deep and complex correlation. I'm thinking in something like that world was created somehow by the MC, maybe just his mind, his game or an old game, it would be too simple and I don't like that.

Estatue of whishes. Honestly, I didn't understand so much about that, another thing to be explained in future episodes.

Three Eyes/Third Eye Skull ring. Weird, but looks good, I want to see more development.

He got angry with the villagers, so he decides to burn down their village... why? MC could at least try to know a proper reason of their hate towards the blonde loli, maybe he could tried to explain to them something about empathy or justice, but he just burned the village and leave.

I was expecting a solid 6/10, and this first episode was like a low 4/10 with too many probabilities in becoming a 3/10, I hope I am mistaken.

Watching this only because MC looks like a mafia boss, I wish he acted more like the one too.

It's good to see that he was summoned as Demon Lord and not some generic hero but the abundance of colourful girls around him in the opening is still disturbing.

Kenja no Mago is the only Isekai anime where the MC has a male best friend character in his group, social circle or party as a main cast character ? I am talking about Aug here.
I frown at recent installments of Persona and Trails of Cold Steel that introduce harem-like elements in the story.

We need more JRPGs like the past Lunar series, where there are multiple romantic pairings in the party other than for the protagonist and main heroine.

Well, i was wondering what anime is it then... that's all. Nothing special for me. The studio can't be compared with any other experienced studio. It's their first on action genre and it's just their 2nd project.
I don't know if I'd watch it next,

So, that's another isekai show with an OP MC, the sort of dream for every gamer in fact lol (back to when I used to play World of Warcraft, I would have loved being transfered as my Warlock in Azeroth).

I need to watch more of this show to have a complete opinion, but for now it feels ok.

Let's see. The bar is always set low when it comes to a new isekai, but so far:
No slavery.
No forced controversy in the first episode to pull people in.
MC seems like a nice guy and isn't wallowing or brooding.
Doesn't feel trashy.

I'd say that's a winner, despite all the usual isekai tropes.

I love the seiyuu who voices Hakuto so that is definitely a plus for me but I wonder whether he is fitting for this role-I will have to wait and see. Also, it's kind of interesting that the mc is not a teenager like most isekai mc's and I am looking forward to seeing how that will play out as the series goes on. However, I am concerned that this anime will turn into a harem and I strictly never watch those. Hopefully, I am overthinking things.

That said, I am wondering whether I should read the manga. I had actually already downloaded it without realising that the anime was due for release. I suppose I will make a decision after I watch a few more episodes.

this show feels like it was made by aliens. like the little girl handles all the village's shit with a bucket and no one wants to touch her. they're right. like she gets shit all over her clothes. i wouldn't want to touch her either

but then they call her "trash face" and start throwing rocks at her. like...what?

this is hilarious. i'm enjoying it more than overlord

A whole genre is so oversaturated that authors don't even bother to build a proper story anymore, this story is basically had the main character screaming at the camera "it's iskeai, you know what it is about!" and straight away reference other stories.

If this is a loli harem I will drop this shit, I don't play no more. What's uncomfortable is uncomfortable, I also saw this demon lord old dude spanking a kid in the opening- The Fuck is this? If this a harem or derogatory- fuck you and Bye!

Most of all whats up with that dog fur on his head, is that suppose to be hair or wig? Who animated the bastard or better yet this whole shit.

I don't know how to say it but most studio when adapting from LN / WN sometimes make some change a little bit for design but for manga mostly using almost same visual right ?

My first impression from trailer & cover ? 2 out of 10. There are some that i think great but mostly i can't enjoy it.

Voice for character usually reflect most of it. I read novel & manga too so i know kunai character will be but from my view point. Since it will be 2 voice for inner and conversation i agree, but it's not matches when more chapter will release.

Graphic is more like 90s anime for me & mostly i disapoint about characteristic for tahara, kunai & zero, why aku being made just like rem. Well i can't deny fully since even in manga the only different is hairstyle.

Just barely seeing from preview i already lost interest because how kunai voice not match & how his hair more longer than manga looks more strange in hot spring, tahara visual being describe is sloopy and i agree but it more sloopy than manga.

I know the studio is trying his best but i'm gonna stick with manga & novel.

Why did they have to totally change the character designs for most of them from the manga and novels? Feels jarring when it's so different from what I was used to as a manga reader, since several characters are nearly unrecognizable.

Oh well, this is just another time-waster in the end.

Lol. It is the new low of the isekai genre, by all measures: the writing, the sakuga and the directing. It's even worse than isekai smartphone, which is a 1/10 but at least it has got less laughably low-effort art.

Yeah I feel the same about the art. The difference between the MCs and the background is so big it feels like they have been photoshopped on a lower quality photo.
Also, Hakuto’s hair is just horrible, it wasn’t drawn that bad in the manga.

This was a mess. The writing was all over the place, and there are countless contradictions. The worst part is that the main VA was clearly given bad direction.

On the bright side the animation was up to par in most places, and having an adult MC is an interesting twist. Aku is kind of adorable as well, though having someone with her appearances as a shitmonger is completely unrealistic. Her being physically disabled is a point of freshness as well (there is actually a genuine reason the heroine is helpless).

The series has a lot of room to grow, but whether it actually does remains to be seen.

Is Aku a boy or a girl? They didn't show Aku's tiddies when he/she grabbed the soap


She was wearing girly clothes and is fine with girly clothes, I lean her to be a girl but they probably wont say for drama and comedic uses or something. She's probably a rare form of a tomboy. Also most traps have a certain type of sound in their voice ya know, if you're a hentai artist do whatever you want ;D


Seeing as Aku says boku (male variant of I in Japanese), I'm pretty sure he's a boy. Women sometimes use it as well but they are usually more tomboy-ish, and the character design is all frilly girly, so I still think he's a boy



I'm just super happy with the fact that the main character is voiced by Tsuda Kenjirou <33
