Clevatess fixed Alicia leg, didn't fix her eye. Weird
@dash-chan I'll add something even more weird, 5 minutes in and im already triggered by this lol, at first theres nothing strange, the heroes are all inside the carriage chatting and whatnot, then the train stop and i realize the driver is alone outside, a normal human without someone guarding him, like what the fart, the heroes are the one with powers, why are they just chilling inside and letting a peasant driving alone, they have no sense of responsibility at all, they couldve take turn to drive it themself or at least guard him. Poor mob they didnt do anything wrong >_<

A classic start for an anime of this genre, but the rest gets interesting.
The anime makes you want to discover more when you see a glimpse of the other empires, the other demon kings, the other unexplored places beyond the borders too, the other races

The animation is pretty, no crappy censorship either, the characters seem interesting, I can't wait to discover more, I hope they will expand this universe

Interesting...

a lot of violence in this one huh, lol.

Also... nice 13 heroes... they got instantly wiped out.

.

And... the whole... Demon Lords... preventing humans from exploring... was a giant misunderstanding... cause the Demon Lords thought the Humans were invading their land and not as explorers. (which the Demon Lord coincidently have their territory surrounding the land...)

Which in turn caused the Humans to become real invaders, but at the thought of defeating the Demon Lords for killing the past Humans and preventing them from advancing pass the borders.

.

Tho... this random baby... lol

Dude's like, "I'll kill all humans", but then... saves the random baby? what?

Imagine if some RL hunter goes out to kill and wipe out an invasive species, but then saves a random baby of the species to raise... I am pretty sure this never happens and would just kill the baby. Cause that defeats the purpose of wiping it out.

It's an interesting plot, but it's also a plothole itself.

.

And Alicia technically got "raped" by the Demon Lord by Earth definition, where a womsn is forced to reveal their body and do things against their will is considered Rape.

And the Demon Lord... why... did it decide to become a Shota? Here I thought dude would be like "Overlord" style, bulky armored dude... but nope... a Shota in cheap clothing...

(And dude goes "I have no interesting in invading humans"... so dude went back on his own words when he killed the King... especially since he was saying humans are "insects" lol)

.

The end also made no sense... how is a dude that repel giant borders, gets knocked out by a wooden bat... And Alicia too, she's a Zombie now... how did she get knocked out from impact to the head. And... if dude is awake... why didn't he take unconscious Alicia and escape? is he REALLY that into the role of acting as a Human? LOL..

I haven't seen many anime like this, so I found it quite interesting.
Although I have to admit that as soon as I saw the names of each “hero,” I expected them all to die. xd
I tried to post in Spanish — the mods were not amused.
“English only, thank you.” Okay. So much for being used.
“Just copy-paste and click,” they smile, like that will make it right,
But language gates aren’t freedom — they're censorship in white.

This was a pretty awesome pilot episode! I was intimidated by its length, but I'm glad I stuck it out! This reminds me of a manga I'm slowly reading called Yattara. Anyway, I think this is good, and I'm invested. Can't wait to see where the main character's relationship with Clevatess goes.

We really have hit a new low for these ratings. Almost 8 stars for a show that really doesn't present much of anything other than a convoluted and ridiculous starting premise. Maybe it'll get better, but why waste time watching something that treats itself seriously while being slop, when you could just watch better slop that truly knows itself.

Very good double-length first episode I already like the dark duo between Alicia and Clevatess especially how Clevatess is a destructive god that ends up raising a child but with a plan to enslave the population by using it as a spy since the baby is from royal blood, anyway I really like the world building and lore so far

What an epic start! I had high hopes for this anime, but I was aware it could be difficult to adapt certain parts of the manga (for various reasons, be it their scale or more grim character). This episode, however, exceeded my expectations for the story's beginning in an animated format. Not only is it a double-length episode, but it also faithfully adapted the source material without toning down the dark mood, gore, or the effects of Clevatess' spectacular attacks. The voice acting, presentation (Alicia looks and sounds stunning, haha), music, and art style are all great. I hope that the next episodes will offer a similar production quality. After the first episode, I am totally satisfied.

What!? i thought this adaptation was going to flop. I honestly didn't expect a 45 minute first episode with an amazing animation and soundtrack. Honestly this is such a great surprise!

I'm really looking foward to the rest of the episodes now, this is going to be epic!

P.S: Baby Luna hella cute

That was pretty stupid ngl

-Boring, uninspired character designs.
-Introduce a bunch of named characters only to kill most of them off as if it was supposed to be shocking (it wasn't).
-Forced storyline of big powerful beast taking in a human baby. Why did some random dying woman's words convince a beast like that of anything, let alone take in a baby?!
-Cringe explanation for bringing the blonde girl back to life.
-Somehow the super powerful monster is easily knocked out by a single strike and is being carried away in a carriage and is captured.

Ugh, that was forced as heck. Nothing about these series of events was natural.

Finally starting this anime after I let it build up a couple of epsiodes like I’ve been doing for a lot of summer shows and I’m happy I started this bc WOW that was one hell of a gory start bro I was not expecting that sword hero to get swatted away like a fucking fly, same for the rest of the heroes as well, now I see why they can’t make it past the unknown lands it’s bc they’re so weak compared to the lord beasts like this wasn’t even a battle it was a massacre😭

But yo I’m surprised that the protagonist in this is the beast (Klen) not Alicia, it seems to me that Alicia is more like a supporting character than a main character since well…her character arc ended when she technically died imo💀💀💀

Alicia design is hot and she’s got some massive as tiddies which is a bonus for me I love me my big tiddy anime girls😋

Klen is a bastard with the way he’s treating our cute girls Alicia ;( I hope bro gains some humanity bc ngl that’s a trope that’s highkey my guilty pleasure haha I love characters that have no connections to humans/the way humanity thinks and gains respect and sympathy for the humans, I’m hoping this is how this show goes down🤞🏽

I forgot to mention the animation but YO!!! The animation is so fucking good like you can tell love was put into this man I love fantasy shows that great animation like The Notorious Talker or Demon Lord 2099 for example both were great fantasy show with great animation and this show is just like them, so far this a 9/10 for me enjoyment wise🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥

The episode was blurry at first so I thought the resolution was low because of my Wi-Fi. I noticed in the scene in which the rider was riding through the destroyed Hiderat that the character stuck out from the background art.

After years of generic high-fantasy titles that sometimes produced in each season (including Goblin Slayer sequel that cant match its predecessor), finally we got something different this time.
This new anime looks interesting especially because the main antagonist's motivation turns out to be somewhat neutral, unlike so many other fantasy's maou

poor carriage drivers. They were just doing their jobs!

Good first episode, though my enjoyment tanked massively when this turned into ecchi comedy.

I thought this might be some gim dark fight of humanity for survival, but apparently not..

First time in a long time I’ve hit a show while it’s still airing that’s not part of my ongoing seasonal picks, but my buddy wanted to check this one out after we finished Mashle, and I did the math so we should be on track to finish it either the week it finishes or the week after, so fuck it we ball lol. This was one that caught my eye before the season began too, but I’ve said countless times why I can’t watch every show lol, so yeah I’m happy to be checking it out now, and boy what a great first episode this was. It was double length so we had ample time to get introduced to the world and its characters without anything feeling rushed, and we also witnessed how brutal the show can be along with how silly it can be at the same time, I mean that “show us your tits” scene tho lol.

But damn when it was brutal, it got brutal, I thought it was painfully obvious that the heroes were all going to die but the scene where it played out was so awesome that I didn’t mind it being easy to see coming, same with Clevatess’ attack on the city, and the production was nice and crisp the whole time, it’s got a great style that reminds me a bit of classic anime. But once the epic intro was done, the real show began with Clevatess (now Klen) taking care of baby Luna along with the hero turned servant, Alicia, it’s definitely a step down from her previous role but I like that she turned the situation into her final mission as a hero, being stopping Klen from destroying humanity, that is really cool. But uh… certainly wasn’t expecting them to get captured immediately lol, so I guess Klen is weaker in the human form, noted, but even if this is good info, I can see Alicia growing close to Klen over time so I don’t see her killing him herself. Also, Klen choosing the mom of Luna as his human form was a choice alright lol, so he’s basically a super powerful femboy, but I gotta say he does kinda own the look, it grew on me fast.

Very strong start indeed, I hope it can keep things interesting going forward, everything set up in this episode seems like it will be so I don’t think it’ll have a hard time doing so, also damn they got THE Mayu Maeshima doing the OP? Such a good artist man, everything I’ve heard by her kicks ass, another great one to add to the list.

Flat and poorly built fantasy, throwing in the same races you see in any RPG into a flat, structureless world. Adventure isn’t even listed among the genres, but it could be, since the central idea of the story is basically Clevatess going from clan to clan to destroy them for his own survival. And of course, even if it were there, I wouldn’t expect much, because even stories that explore this type of genre aren’t usually that great. For a final context, I’d say it’s more like a kind of military childcare scenario where he builds a kingdom with Luna, but the whole plot could easily shift to him developing some empathy for humanoids and treating them as equals, to the point of abandoning his original goal of destroying all those clan races. The story is good despite those two burdens stuck to him who only know how to cry and scream. It has potential. The only downside is the script, which feels inherited from those old JRPGs that are completely boring and bad for being 90% dialogue and 10% gameplay. There were moments when I felt reluctant enough to consider watching it muted

Unfortunately, I really like monsters, so the part where Clevatess was just destroying Hiden was my favourite part of the episode.
