somehow i kinda feel, i have a deja vu where the main lead trying to do a good deed but he end up mistaken by another.

Anyway, Pretty good for first episode. I'm looking forward to watch for the next one.

I wonder if an uncensored version will be released, I hate it when there's an enormous black patch out of nowhere..

Huh, well, I can't comment on the storyline but, this anime's animation really goes a long way compared to Angel Beats, so I guess watching Angel Beats first was a mistake, and it feels like I'm watching an anime in 1970, but that censorship reminds me too much of Ladies vs Butlers. So, yeah.

We'll see in the future episodes. And I realized that Ichiban Ushiro means 'farthest in the back.' huh, maybe my japanese is getting good? lol.

That was epic, with the right amount of ecchi, comedy, and action. I can't wait to see what the 'demon lord' is going to do next!

I haven't expected this because this seemed to be just a Pantsu Anime
but I came to like this because of its comicality.

I sympathized with that Nice guy who is to be ”Load of Demon”...

Well that was more generic and less lol than I expected/wished for. The pacing and directing was horrid, not to mention the cenzors: blurring tits and adding screenwide black fog are as subtle as a planecrash.
With that said it did get better on the way and might be enjoyable in the long run.

Huuuhhhh?

This episode went way too quick. A lot of the scenes were disjointed and didn't flow well into each other. The plot seems interesting enough but they need to slow down the pacing and start fleshing out some stuff.


My thoughts exactly.
Same here

I usually loath these types of anime where they try to shove your throat with tons of fanservice. But this one made me lol, particularly the whole demon lord thing. I guess I'll be sticking for a while.

The harem looks to be assembling a bit too quickly. It's too bad it didn't take itself more seriously, but it was still good. The most enjoyable of the season so far followed by Kaichou wa Maid-sama!.

I actually like that it is fast paced. It's a lot better than having to watch/wait for OVER 9000 episodes. I enjoyed this episode it made me laugh quite a lot (Cleaning Duty ROFL). This kinda reminds of Harry Potter O_o. Anyways, I figured that even if the series goes by fast, it could possibly be an enjoyable one ;D

There's my opinion of this ep.

I mean honestly, this episode was nothing but fanservice, bad exposition, bad exposition, more bad exposition, really, really bad pacing, and a plot that could have been liveable, but wasn't in the face of all the above issues.

I suppose the first rotten apple of the season has shown itself.

Nothing But fan service? Were we watching the same show? It didnt even have that much fan service...The pacing wasn't bad either, i dunno where people get this from. It....went....how it was supposed too? Is pacing another reason people think they hate a show...im gonna guess it is. Pacing can be really slow, like those billion episode shonens, but i dunno about everything else.

The first rotten apple of the season was bakugan, sir.

I thought the first rotten apple was B Gata but I digress.

You know, watching it again, I don't think this had that much fanservice. I mean, not saying it didn't have fanservice at all, but it wasn't like, let's say, Ladies versus Butlers.

Yes, we were. And the first shot of any significant female character is a fanservice shot, if that tells you anything. Also, I didn't say "Nothing but fanservice", I said "Nothing but *long list of things, the first of which was fanservice".

And yes, it did have bad pacing.

I had no plans on watching this, but had an extra 25 minutes to give it a try.

Way better than I had expected it to be. There's just the right amount of fan service, and a fairly interesting story line.

To nay sayers: What did you expect this to be, its harem.

First episode was pretty great, funny. But its one of those series that I feel like it will start off with a great deal of strength, and lose all momentum, falling into a pit of stereotypical ecchiness by episode 3.

Even thought I don't care for ecchi and harem theme anime this one is a little better than the previous ones. Still haven't decided which one I'll keep watching, but that one has potential if they don't mess it up.

OK,
yes the pace was rather quick in this episode.
But perhaps they are just rushing all the characters in so they can spend more time on the main story line.

As for the amount of fan service?
I have seen shows with alot more and they still had a good story to rely on.

1 episode in, I am going to hold of condemning the entire series until I get a few more episodes watched and see how it goes.

I guess when someone hate something, even the devil king do not have the power to convince ^^.The pace is kinda slow yet the story went kinda fast(well alot to introduce such as character,environment and etc) before he is known as Devil king,but after that the pace went quite fast i think

Definitely enjoyed it. Not sure I'm really at all into the ecchi they've thrown in there (in fact, I know I'm not), but the whimsicality of the narrative seems enough to pull me in for another episode or three. I'm a little worried it might turn out to be a harem, with Hattori being the requisite Naru Narusegawa character. Either way, I'll keep watching for now.

I agree with a few other posts; Too many big events happened that it didn't feel right.
1. He makes a friend by helping her grandma and fascinating her about his dream 2. He finds out he is a demon king 3. He is introduced to the class 4. Fights over class pres. 5. Fights 2 minutes later into the show, with the same person proceeding with a second explosion. 6. Who the heck was the floating girl who randomly appeared in the forest?
I did laugh a few times, but i hope it improves next episode.

It was good, I liked it. The action scenes looked especially nice. I'm just really, really hoping this series doesn't go overboard with the ecchi. Seriously, they're cartoons, I would rather they focus on the plot instead of drawing panties.

Plenty of different censors in this episode. A thing that said "minaide", half of the screen being covered by blackness, and a smudged/blurred sideboob. It's strange because I saw some upskirts that weren't censored, and Hattori's boobs were all over the place. Argh, I'll never understand censoring, no point in thinking about it. DVDs. I hope Ryuumaru subs the ATX version if it's uncensored.

Anyway, I enjoyed this episode. It was fun and the action towards the end was nicely animated. The way they got to know their future jobs really reminded me of Harry Potter as well, lol. I hope the pacing slows down a little in the next episode, too much stuff happened in this one.

At first glance I did not like the animation style as I thought it was very "choppy" in the beginning of the episode, however the general story and characters made up for it. Though I believe a lot of the ecchi was unnecessary and/or forced, it didn't "ruin" the episode for me. I am interested to see where this is going considering I have never read the manga.

hehe.

i thought the anime was really funny, enjoyable, and entertaining. i have high hopes for it for the up coming episodes.

i agree with Otaku7 about the ecchi was unnecessay and some what forced in scenes, but didnt ruin the anime as a whole.
