_--{Short and sweet reviews for the average anime fan!}--_

If I had anything to say about this series it would be that it was good.
Not exceptional, not great, just good.
I give it a score of "something I'd watch while eating/something I would stay up all night watching"

Though there are some good things to say about Maou no Yuusha. It has great animation (BOOOOOOBS) and changes things up a bit by putting a large focus on... economics and learning. If you love Spice and Wolf like I do, you'll find something to like here. OH THE JOYS OF ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION DURING TIMES OF WAR.

As for ... the cast.... how could I forget such characters such as the Hero, the Demon King, or even female knight... no, I did not forget their names that is really what they go by in the show. No one actually has a "name" in this story. There's romance in here among characters but nowhere near enough to bring a tear to your eye. A "That's a nice moment" at most.

I can't really see much of an improvement in a 2nd season unless the story really diverges from how it flows now. If you're really interested in this series I would suggest reading the light novel instead. Scenes and moments have a little more impact when there isn't a time constraint. Imo I found it to be much better.

This anime reminds me of another show, Adventure Time. An animated show that makes you wonder what the hell is going on at the start and later on gets filled with these great/absurd moments and memorable characters.

AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HITS YOU WITH FEELS OF MASSIVE PROPORTIONS WITH THE ADDED KNOWLEDGE THAT EVERYONE THERE IS ALREADY DEAD.

Visuals were great and music was fantastic. By the end of the series the first five notes of the opening theme will invoke many feelings. And of the cast you can find at least three that you will ... come to love. Great story, music, visuals, cast, humor, and just the right amount of romance to bring a tear to the eye.

There are two things I have to say though... I'm disappointed that they didn't delve into the back story of all the characters, even some among the main cast are left out. And the plot twist at the end... how did that happen if she was there before him? Doesn't that mean she died before him? If you watch the series you'll get what I'm saying...unless I missed something crucial... I did watch this whole series in one night.

All in all, go watch this anime. Imo it's up there with Clannad.
