I'm surprised almost no one on the front page even talk about the butchered prolouge. Like, 2 minutes of bizzare prolouge just to show how absurd he is.
And apparently trashing a generic OP MC is somehow still cool in 2020.


Did Silver Link just revert people back to 2015 again?

lmfao that was really bad to be honest. The writing is hilariously poor and that stupid grin of his had me laughing every time.

On a positive note though I really liked the visuals and the design / art style for that girl, she is beautiful!

I don't see this anime going anywhere with its story or writing where I can take it seriously but at least I can enjoy looking at an overpowered character roflstomping cocky people. And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get some good laughs from this, I enjoy these type of things after all.

Another season, another failure. Same shit, different title. The Misfit of Demon King Academy is one of the most basic and generic power fantastic shows I have seen.

There is nothing about this show that stands out at all.

Not great tbh, I knew I usually hate shoes like this anyway but I wanted to give this a chance as I’m trying to find new anime to watch this season. So far just seems like a generic powerful MC and a subservient love interest which is typical in the genre; maybe I’ll come back later in the season and see if anything interesting has happened.

"If I kill you, you die" - That top Shirou level of dialogue, I laughed so hard at this...

Well, we are getting yet another OP AF MC that has a second chance at being the Demon Lord, 100% cliché but this time he has some ball to do the "bad thing".

Better than I expected!
Of course it's generic, but MC is charismatic enough, I hope he stays badass in the future episodes. Looking forward to some more of these 2000 year old jokes lol.
Misha is cute, that headpat was really wholesome. Waiting for the second girl.
MC's parents are hilarious.
5/5.

This is bad. Just another overpowered mc in a fantasy world but it has that "maou mc" cliche. Why was this animated? Is there a popular manga behind this? Why does this anime have such a high rating? Does the story get any better?

Just got around to watch this series, read some of the manga...

And yea, I noticed they skipped quite a few things, especially the comedic beginning of when MC was still a Demon King 2000 years ago and decide to reincarnate and when he was reborn 2000 years later as a baby and the interactions with his airheaded parents.

Feels like they're trying to make this a "more serious" type of anime instead of manga's comedy type.

Edit: I see, they moved some of the skipped into episode 2 instead.

From the first episode this is quite terrible. I don't get why the great Demon King has to go to school. Everything that happened at the academy is a typical isekai-fantasy setting. The main girl looks boring. And the show is just edgy with all the unnecessary blood splatter.

Didn't really like how the episode started and went about.
They didn't introduce the character well at the start.
Certain details got skipped out cause they decided to rush with him heading to the Academy at the start too :(

Other than the storyline decision, everything else is an okay~

(Judgement from reading the Manga a long time ago before this)

Hopefully later episodes are good!

Ok that was decent first episode.

Didn't think that the overpowered MC generic trope would make giggle this much. Anos really like making old jokes huh?

The art is not that special but it delivers when it needs to.

And Misha is super cute with that kuudere personality ngl.

The pace is a bit quick but it should be fine after this episode.

I love how this episode went from "Eww wtf" when he was murdering the dude over and over again like in Overlord to, "Awww, this is so wholesome and cute" with the family section.

At first it almost seemed too close to low middle fantasy Harry Potter...and I found those movies decent. Thank goodness the similarity is slowing fading lol
Finally...I have waited decades for a simple, overpowered, true demon lord show like this. Hell even the "bad guy" demon lords that were the final enemy in shows or manga have not held up to this guy. Legit!
Everything else I can remember in the last 20+ years in this type of setting or similar scenario has been lesser or straight trash by comparison. Looking at you Overlord! Behold a real DARK LORD!

I understand the goal of the author to quickly want to establish Anos as overpowered but it led to forced situation and forced character interaction.

First, you got Zepes just waiting (for what reason except plot ?) so he can decide in less than one second he needs to kill two people in front of ten witness in front of the school he is supposed to join. What if Anos was not overpowered ? Did Zepes kill them and then go to enjoy his life without any consequence ?

Then, coincidence (of course), Zepes is the guy Anos needs to fight. Sure. Why not ? (lazy writing ? probably). Anos decide to kill the guy just by snapping his finger then ressucite the guy (seems students did not even know about resurrection spell), then Zepes get killed 4 times (for a total of five times). And not even a teacher try to stop the fight ? Sure, make senses. No referee, nothing, just people getting to school and killing each other.

Zepes get killed 5 times (traumatic experience ?) but hey, the same night he's trying to kill Anos like nothing happen. Zepes's brother behaviour make no sense but hey, just trying to make them as bad guy as possible as quickly as possible so we don't pity them when Anos destroy them.

What about Misha ? Anos barely talked with her and he's just casually bringing her to diner ? Seems a little too "forced".

I think that's the problem with this anime. Individual motivation don't make sense. And come on, it's not that hard. I can come up with something better in less than 5 minutes (hopefully) while keeping every main point.

First, instead of having Zepes wait, make him walk and overhear Anos name while he's talking with Misha. Then, he said "I know who you are" ; Anos think someone has already figured out his real identidy but turns out Zepes knows he has to duel Anos "You are... my next victim". So, with arrogance, he flashs his flame to make Anos fear him, telling Anos he should forfeit the fight because he has no way of winning against a noble. Anos shenanigan happen with him canceling the flame.

Zepes realizing he has no chance of winning use his connection to change his opponent and win (and enter the school). Anos win his fight easily but against someone "not noble" so everyone just think his opponent was weak. Zepes and Anos are accepted in the school, Zepes try to "impress" Anos during the school but he's ridiculized so after a few days, noticing Misha is getting closer to Anos, he kidnap her with four guys (outside of school) and ask Anos to come otherwise she'll "suffer". Anos come, destroy the other four guys and then ask Zepes "You're the leader, right ? A leader needs to take responsability... I'll let you live but you need to experience death so that you never are tempted to think you can hurt my friends without consequences." and he kills and ressucite Zepes five time.

Misha is still not "feeling well" after her kidnapping so Anos offer her to have diner time together and then to bring her back home. Misha say "it's not your fault", Anos say "they targeted you because you are my friends, that's the least I could do". While we spend some time with the funny wife and husband, Zepes has been lying to his older brother telling him he's been ambushed by Anos so Zepes brother wants to get vengeance.

When Anos is bringing Misha back home, he has to fight them. Zepes is a mess, he can't even look Anos in the eyes, the consequence of experience death so many times so quickly. None of the shenaningan between his brother killing him needs to happen since killing someone just to ressucite them is meaningless.

This way you avoid most of the problem with the school not protecting students and you can keep Anos "true power" hidden for most people.

Just saying if you focus a little more on the character instead of focusing on "how to get as quick as possible on the next savage moment for Anos", you can have a much more believable story.

Starts out great when he keeps weening that one chump. Grew a little concerned when I realized he was crazy OP and seemingly invincible. (Obviously shows like this need *some* type of conflict/competent antagonist.)

But pretty enjoyable overall. 8/10 first impression.

The English VA for Misha is too soft-spoken for my liking, but hopefully her character is at least interesting. Currently it's TBD.

If the previous demon king defeated all the other races, do they still exist or were they wiped out completely? Because why is there this pure blood/hybrid distinction?

What a first episode, I guess Anos was reborn and is controlling his parents. The battle against the generic brothers is more style than substance and it turned out quite well. The series has a rather curious humor that its not forced or random. Anos is surprisingly hot for this type of anime, niceeee.

The only thing I find odd is Misha's personality, everything doesn't matter to her and she doesn't question what's going on.

I mean, they never questioned about Anos growing up from a baby to a normal guy in 1 month and they act strange. Unless it is something of little importance to the plot that's what i could speculate from the first episode.

well, his mother is "heavy" daydreamer and his father is "more than just" a stupid so it can't be helped. but if we follow the real background from the wn, then we will see that both of them is "reincarnated person", if not then it is almost impossible to give birth to anos

fun fact, the writer always try to find "the truth" from his setting despite it is not exist in the first place of create it moreover the theme is "reincarnation", not like other cheap isekai or "reincarnation setting" series, this series is the only one that try to pursue "the beginning of reincarnation"
