| Anos is an awful name for a MC, it is like a bad joke. lmao |
 |
| This wasn't a thing that you always struggled with. The light novel heroes of long long ago like Lina Inverse regularly leveled mountain sides. This though… it really speaks to the more disturbing and distasteful change that has become so widespread. Instead of reveling in being over the top, or a hyper competent super person being thrown against challenges worthy of them, it fetishizes some overpowered jackass abusing his power to torture and humiliate his inferiors. Really torturing. It's a whole thing about how he repeatedly and bloodily vaporizes a dude and then revives him, over and over, and over. And the dude is so weak that just standing there, his heart beating, puts out enough power level du jour to make him harmless. Then we go through it again a second time. But that would also be letting it off the hook for the female side piece, whose role in the episode is to stand there mutely admiring the main character swinging his dick around (by standing there doing nothing). If anything, it's perhaps an argument for overexcited idiots screaming helpful exposition, because there's something extra disturbing about her simply standing there with a blank look on her face, never reacting to anything for the entire episode, as she watches the protagonist casually murder multiple people. And it keeps cutting to her to show her frozen, expressionless face. Why? Frankly, the mom is the only character that wasn't abhorrent, and that may be because she's the only one who seemed to take any joy in life in an episode that was entirely glorification of murdering your inferiors. And it's easier to see her as a joke/parody of someone who really didn't want a baby, but now definitely wants to be sandwiched between her husband and her 6 week old adult son. |

| man this one got me typical shitty LN adaptation 4502 that i don't even know where to start on it's tropes i mean at least some of these shit OP power fantasies try to hide it a little bit with some form of substance but this one is dead ass serious in not giving a fuck about that which would be fine if it was really comedy but it isn't added on how it legit feels like it was written some edgelord middle schooler but people will still be like this is my shit speaks volumes. if there's anything i'm hate watching it's this till i can't bare it anymore or there's enough new shows to watch so i don't need some fillers |
 |
| I like this start; the anime has potential. It's a fun, carefree take on the Demon Lord trope, and i;m intrigued to see where the MC's characterisation will lead. |

| Great, i always like a OP mc. This will be a 2nd Ousawa Akatsuki =)) |
 |
| This 1st episode is the definition of the most cliche of cliche. Moreover if ur a webnovel reader like myself. Definitely 1/10, i dunno how the heck this anime get past 6.0 score. Most probably gonna reach there after finish airing. |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |

Parents are kinda annoying by being one note but in the same time their full grown son (teenager) is only one month old (his mother was still pregnant +1 month ago, think about it) so by given that their mental state is at least stable in my opinion they hold well.

I don't know if they will bring the exposition into the second episode but they really fucked the series over already. The pacing of the entire episode was so fucking fast. Could you explain what they skipped (if it is not a big spoiler)? because as anime only watcher I honestly don't felt that something was missing. Had I not seen the manga, I feel like it would be alright for me. I do not know if they just moved the exposition or if they straight up delete it from the series. I may have overreacted much when I said they fucked the series over. As I said, I am hoping that they will just add the original exposition into the next episode but if not, I will be disappointed. |

And what, he's 1 month old (reincarnation, albeit) - I'm just taken aback by the insanity of this xD I had to pause the episode and laugh like a madman for some minutes xD BTW... it was not a bad start but everything goes WAAAAY the f**k to fast |

tottobennington said: I had to pause the episode and laugh like a madman for some minutes xD Same here, lol. It’s pushing the OP boundary quite a bit with this episode alone... |

LOL This is such a gong show, honestly everyone should just read the manga or LN. They literally skipped the important parts and focused on the throwaway villains instead of Misha and Anos. So for anyone wondering what actually is supposed to happen, But ya, I don't get how anime only viewers could've watched that. It literally didn't make sense and cut off Misha character interactions completely. I can go on about the things they messed up on. Sad to see one of my favorite mangas done this poorly.

| The beginning with the gray hair guy is so cringe worthy. lol |
| This episode was pretty good nice OP MC i'll like to see how the episodes will turn out |
 |
| I understand that many people think this will probably be another fantasy trash where the mc is op and the only focus on side characters are his harem group, and that's fair. But, to be honest, I can't help but like this stuff just because OP protagonists is something that I'll almost always enjoy and its a guilty pleasure of mine. As far as episode 1 goes, I thought it was amazing as it sort of displayed exactly what I wanted: weak antagonists who act like they're superior because they're near the top on an aristocratic government system, followed by the complete destruction of them. Surprisingly enough, this anime also includes the death and torture of the characters, unlike other OP fantasy shows where they unreasonably let them go or they get the villains to faint and then they send them to a prison and that's that. Also, the animation is something that I really enjoyed followed by an average sound value. All in all, as ridiculous as it is, I'm loving it and I'll give it a 9/10 for now, but I think I'll ultimately end this anime with either a value of an 8 or 7. |
 |
| Isn't the OP the reincarnate of The Demon Lord?So why the fuck he has to go through a demon school?When he could just go and defeat the top demon and claim his position.I love dumb shit but when dumb shit takes itself seriously it turns into disaster.Monster Doctor & HxEROS>>>>>Demon Lord garbage. |
| it's cringy to the point where it hurts to watch this shit being made every now and then |
| Well this was pretty generic. It feels like Wise Man's Grandchild but with a demon Lord. |
| always diggin a badass mc, I definitely gonna enjoy this |
It is not. Or at least is not supposed to be one. So they skipped the prologue with no reason, and not just the prologue, but the month after his reincarnation. Ok, I don't understand why, but it was part of the Worldbuilding. If they skipped that in the next episode, they will ruin the pace, and probably the overall enoyment, and even the series as a whole. Silver Link is having a hard time adapting things this days. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| dayum this was way better than I expected |
 |
| This one will be worthwhile to watch if this 1st episode's Animation would continue their quality animation. Its like HNTSADL but more badass. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Good thing they skipped the prologue & increased the pacing, doesn't waste too much episode on cliche/generic start. |

JuzuX said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Summer 2020 introduce us with an OP MC. [Currently streaming at Tokyo MX] I like how they start it with a fight. Cliché but bearable. So, they want Arnos to be mysterious in 1st ep. It is already a prolouge? I can't really feel it, the world building too. The pacing was too fast but tolerable. Anyway, Arnos was badass (reminds me of Tatsuya). Blood, blood and blood is everywhere. I liked it. The animation was good (pretty sure it'll go down). I personally like the character designs and the seiyuu especially Suzuki-san (Ban seiyuu and LiSA fiancé). The OP and ED was good. Decent episode. Let's see how this turns out. They skipped the prolgue. KANLen09 said: Quite a prominent start to the atypical fantasy show. It definitely has the feeling of "The Irregular in Magic High School", but vastly different in its own way. The male MC character Arnos, he's definitely NOT fooling around as a potential candidate fielding for the Demon King, with his OP powers, more than enough to label him "The Misfit", even though he has ZERO magic. Even with the many enemies, he appears unfazed, which truly speaks to his strong charisma. And of course, the sterotypical female character Misha following the MC as a "friend" of sorts (clearly a love interest of sorts, but we'll see). Definitely has my interest, but have to see the content following afterward. An OK start. 1. he does not have 0 magic. the magic is so much the stone broke and only 0 got recorded. 2. the main issue is answering every question about the Founder wrong Bio said: Went in with low expectations and still got disappointed. leikosan said: Is this a satire? The first ep plus the title makes it seem like a satire of great overplayed tropes That's what I was wondering. The main is so overpowered that there's no way to have a plot. Beating someone up with your heartbeat is something even Saitama hasn't pulled, and the guy isn't a pure meathead either. He has mastery of the existing magic and powerful unique skills. Usually these god mains at least have a sort of tricky ability they can pretend has some gap or weakness. In the end, though, it really wasn't played for laughs aside from brief jokes. I guess reading this thread some people are into this played straight? Well, it's certainly blatant in what it is. You can't doubt it will deliver in overpowered guy beats people up. I'll be dropping right off even in this sparse season, though. they moved over stuff a bit too fast. And yes he is extremely OP but is not like he will not get challenges.

But to summaries he has all memories of past life and he used magic to increase the age of his new body. -Hyun said: Looks pretty generic already. Overpowered MC who is considered a "misfit" because of his magic power, and because his power level is literally zero he will be ridiculed by others. A seemingly emotionless female lead(a kuudere, I guess) who befriended our MC. She's pretty uninteresting as of now but let's see if she will have her own story arc. If she will have one, I hope it will be handled well and will provide some development on her character. But so far, pretty stereotypical and not so interesting. The Magic System is confusing af. Cannot understand how they invoke the spells, there are no "mana" introduced yet, the MC's heart beats, which butchered the heck out of the random villain dude, is something I can't grasp. I don't know if he cast a spell to amplify or convert his heart beats into a powerful force, but I think he did not since he did not say any incantation(and it's impossible that he is a mage that do not use incantation, since when he casted other spells, he shouted the names). It could also be possible that his heart beats are powerful enough to make an impact like that on a not-so-powerful person, but it's also pretty impossible since if that is the case then all the people who heard his heartbeats would have been dead already. They also say some weird name for the spells, it could be pretty confusing as the show progresses since the audience can easily forget the names. So far the Magic is unpolished and illogical, it made the fights confusing for me. I hope they will provide more info soon. This first episode is not that strong for me. The Magic is confusing, the leads are stereotypical, the world is generic, the art is OK, the opening is decent, and so on. Nothing piqued my interest yet, but for now let's just see how this show plays in the next few episodes. He did not get labeled a misfit that why. |

| I gotta say this was fun, I'm probably going to love this anime. Definitely not what I was expecting at all, but it's welcome, and that head pat though, amazing. |
 |
| I don't understand why 22.33% people hated it. I think it's a good anime and i absolutely enjoyed the first episode. I hope that the whole series will be a hit. |

LOL This is such a gong show, honestly everyone should just read the manga or LN. They literally skipped the important parts and focused on the throwaway villains instead of Misha and Anos. So for anyone wondering what actually is supposed to happen, The demon King, Anos and the Hero made a deal where the hero would kill him to create peace among the world since there was constant war. About 2000 years later he is reborn and to those two parents who are really naive and thinks he's just a smart boy but in the manga it's for comedic relief. He quickly transforms into a toddler using his magic and learns more about the current world through books and learns that about a academy that was made to find a qualified demon lord. He then transforms into a teenager and then sets out to apply to the academy. And the story goes on by no one believing that he's the demon lord which they cut out saying as well even though that's the main premise. That should've been the prologue. One other important thing they left out is how much magic has weakened over the years because they don't need it for fighting anymore since the war is over and that's why he's so overpowered compared to everyone else. But ya, I don't get how anime only viewers could've watched that. It literally didn't make sense and cut off Misha character interactions completely. I can go on about the things they messed up on. Sad to see one of my favorite mangas done this poorly. I think that prologue could've really added a lot more to the story and given more insight. But as an anime only, I think it was a pretty good first episode. The production, especially surprised me. |
Zaleww said: Lol i think that will be a valid reason ;) I didn't read manga so i loved this episode however if what you are saying is true than it's disappointing to know that they skipped :(Hikki_Senpai said: because me and they probably read the manga and saw what they skipped lol. misha is like a robot but in manga she grow a little bit personality until the end of this episode.I don't understand why 22.33% people hated it. I think it's a good anime and i absolutely enjoyed the first episode. I hope that the whole series will be a hit. |
| My MALoween✟Mansion 2022 Candies : |
| It's been some time since I watched anime with so broken OP protagonist, and even longer since he was so open about his absolute power. I like it. Hopefully it stays like this. Nothing worse than introducing super strong character just to make him weak right after that. |
| The plot is very generic, and from what I've seen so far, the characters are also quite generic. The animation is decent. Nothing special, but definitely enjoyable. I didn't dislike Anos. He's extremely overpowered and quite arrogant, but still kind of a badass. Mashi is probably going to be a secondary main character, who won't be the main focus of the story, but will be an important figure to Arnos. She looks very cute, but lacks personality. I hope they will properly develop her and other characters later on in the show. Although the show seems very generic and unoriginal, I will continue watching it. I am curious to see what happens next. |

"Anime Was a Mistake."- God  |
| The animation and art surprisingly very amazing. I even got stunned by how smooth the magic effect itself. Otherwise, its pretty generic type of magic school with goddamned fuckin op MC. What could i expected when the MC himself was the reincarnation of the the real lord of demon. Lmao. What supposed to do with the academy? I guessed he just wanna had fun with some random girls and make his own hare-- i mean, friends. Thats it. No other highly expectations with these generic type od fantasy with lord of demonic as the strength of the show. Why always demon? Oh, well! |

| Finally here he is, Shiba Tatsuya with much expressions. The OP Anos Voldigoad is dominating everywhere. This episode was so damn fast on the uptake that it finished before I even noticed. Thank god I read the manga beforehand. Hope this show settles down a bit after the next episode. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
AL_Weebs said: Don't know about you guys, but I think this anime kinda bland. We already watch to much anime like this, I hope as the story goes on it can bring something suprising to the table 🤔 Yeah, I agree with you. The plot is generic and the characters are quite dull. But I will still keep watching the show to see where the story goes, and if the characters get any development. |
