Got some Karneval vibe from this. OP song is okay I guess.

Some of the artwork reminds me of Pandora Hearts. Lol @ the imaginations. The guys are all dressed up and hey, that food makes me hungry. The butlers looks weird though, I got an Umineko vibe with their animal features.

Nice action I guess in the end there. The ED song is okay I guess.

Devils & Realist? Sounds interesting.
That yaoi-ish relationship between the two male leads reminded me of Monocrome Factor. No idea if this anime is really yaoi or not.
Also it felt Kuroshitsuji-vibe.
That guy in purple reminded me of someone from Karneval.

The plot seems interesting, but since the execution was mediocre, the episode was not impressive.

The manga is not. There's so much fanservice though, a lot like Kuroshitsuji, as you said.

Karneval and Makai Ouji are published in the same magazine, so they have same vibe.

Saiga-san's character seems like a king of the demon world or something. William is smart, but too realistic, though has Solomon's blood. FukuJun's character is house steward that the only one who stayed when the household is broken. Demons, who were previously humans, appeared to get William into making his realism cofusing. Not only the fee is payed, that demon transferred? Both OP and ED are gooooood! lol @ William's friend who is opposite as him.

That blue feminine (3rd) guy will appear next ep.?? The after ED has character's line, it seems!

I thought that this was a good first episode! It was really faitful to the manga. I like William, he's awesome and hilarious. Yes, we get to see Sitori in the next episode! The OST when William entered Dantalion's place was nice. It caught my attention. I also really like the OP and ED! And also it is not yaoi. There will not be that kind of ''moments'' in the future(at least I don't remember). It's more like Dantalion was loyal to Salomon and respected him. There is no yaoi. Had to make that clear. But really excited to see more! I really like the manga .

This is MAL the Internet and according to everyone there is yaoi everywhere, even if two guys so much as walk next to each other. :s

I can't stop hearing 8man whenever William is speaking. He's forever in my head.
Anyway, some scenes were kind of amusing.

The Idea strongly reminds me of Black Butler since there's the master and then there's the demon so it gives me the feeling of the Black Butler just with more humor

Very loyal to the manga. Pretty nice how things are set up. Definitely going to look forward to more. The MC being a realist is a nice change from most MCs.

Gayest show of the season with an all-dude cast. Forty seconds in and I was already thinking of bailing out. Dropped

Humour is average, fights were great, and we have a crossdresser dude. It's Kuroshitsuji all over again, in brighter colours and even more shounen-ai situations.

Well. The characterdesign is simple and idiotic but this is still better than all the loli-girl/magical-girl shit this season. I will watch this anime, but only because the whole season is so fkin bad...

fraking awesome! It's Utako Yukihiro artwork animated. I loved it, to see it in action and hot voice actors
and in color, it's ust like Oz and Gilbert from Pandora HEarts :3
if you don't like the anime go read the manga,
it's cool and drawn by Utako Yukihiro, but of course it's not in color and without awesome animation and I love her character designs
so don't drop this
can't wait for next week

More traditional Yaoi, but the setting seems to be better than most. Will be interested how the "realist" angle plays out as more "fantastic" elements are introduced. Hope this doesn't turn into the most oblivious MC ever route.

Worth another week. Could be fun.

Nice episode, I love the demon Dantalion already but I'm not too fond of the main character, "rational" little brat, sigh. I wish I wonder how the story will go from here on though :) Too bad he changed his hair style to fit in the human world though, I like his demon hair a lot more

Not a bad 1st ep. I like the slashyness but the show as a whole comes across as a ghetto kuroshitsuji. Seems worth continuing so far.

It was alright though. Average :D I will continue watching to see how it goes. I hope we will get to see Dantalion's past as a human murderer. I like it. He's a badass character. ^^

I liked it fairly well. Not usually into things with the Yaoi-ish vibe. But, I didn't feel it went overboard and I like the setting. I've always been a big fan of demons and the Nephilim, so I'll at least check out another 2-3 episodes before deciding how much to watch.

I don't think you said "I guess" enough,you Vally girl.


Besides that, it was a good first episode. The op was good, great voice acting, LOVE the art. The episode give a decent base for the story line, and give you enough yet not to much of whats going on.

If they're going to make borderline BL they should just make BL. I don't like this show because already for the same reasons I don't like Karneval and Black Butler.

Considering that there are 72 demons under the command of Solomon, the Japanese seem to have a fixation on Dantalian. There is a fairly decent animation a couple of seasons ago "Dantalian no Shoka" that is worth checking out, this animation has a similar feel to it (British elite comes into contact/possession with Dantalian).

That was definitely NOT Yaoi, so if that is what you like you won't like it. But I thought it was a pretty good series, pity I don't think they are going to make a second season. Had some promise.

This felt like equal parts Pandora Hearts, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and Hataraku Maou-sama. I dunno. Didn't really do much for me, but I'm not abandoning it just yet.

It wasn't bad, it wasn't great. Nothing praise worthy, nothing special. I don't really like the way they're trying to depict England, it's a bit too exotic. The art is a bit simplistic as well. I'm not liking this so far, but I'll stick with it anyway.

I definitely got some BL vibes from this, especially that very first scene before the OP. I liked the OP though, I thought the song was nice, the ED as well. I also enjoyed the battle bgm. The character designs are okay, I guess pretty average. William and Kevin remind me of Oz and Gilbert, but not as cool. I don't ever remember seeing that many male characters, or actually I don't remember any at all, having blonde hair and green eyes except Oz and Jack from Pandora Hearts, so William automatically reminded me of them. And looks like it's an all male cast except for maybe 2 or 3 females that I saw in the ED. And that transfer student cliche...I get really annoyed of seeing that in anime or manga. Still, the episode had interesting moments, nothing to deter me from watching it yet.

I didn't like Karneval and I think, I wont' like this one either. Not gonna watch now. I thought there was going to be a female since it is listed in shoujo tag but yeah, it's one of those disguised" yaoi which I am not fond of. Already watched K, Karneval and it's other calibers. Dropped.

This is an okay series, I like the animation and the action, I don't particularly like the plot line, but it's not horrible.

The biggest problem with this series is actually the main character. William is a prick. There is no getting around it, he's an idiotic prick. I'm guessing this uppity, English snob doesn't realize that there's a difference between being a realist and just plain stupid.

Even Sherlock Holmes, one of the most famous literary realist ever, says: "when all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Get a clue, baka! You're surrounded by the supernatural, get used to it!

I think the Solomon angle is kind of silly. I highly doubt that the son of King David was blond and green-eyed living in a castle in a European forest. Also, this would make William Jewish, which is interesting. And if anyone knows the story, they'd know that Solomon, while the wisest man, fell apart near the end. Is he really the biblical figure they want to do this with?

But whatever, this is a silly story they made up, that has good animation and action and would be interesting to see if not for the MC. The heavy BL reminds be of Loveless, Black Butler, and even a little Karneval, but I don't mind as long as it shuts Will up.

I give this a 6.5/10.
