The story line is a basic storyline, guy meets girl and laughable misunderstanding happens all around them with people think they are going out. Throw in one being the Demon Lord and the other being a Holy Knight, add a human girl to be the love triangle and we have a match. It’s not that different from Demon King Daimao except that Demon Lord Satan (They couldn’t come up with another name so picked a religious name, why not?) was a demon lord before the show started. There are also some other things that tie the show with Demon King but if I said anything more on that, it would be a spoiler as sadly there are not many episodes to this anime. I would like there to be more, I would because it was enjoyable but just not innovative and new. I felt like I was watching any other show from the 21st century in the writing style.
The artwork like any other show is really nice. Bright colors, comical expressions, slap stick, face distortion… ya, like I said, not very innovative. It just feels like every other like I could be watching High School of the Dead and this at the same time and sometimes ask where the zombies are in this. They blend in well and just don’t stand out in the mountain of anime that came out in its time frame.
The English voices are perfect for the characters but again, since it’s made by Funimation, there is Funimation’s voice acting all over it. I just give them props for not going with a lot of names that have been said way to many times. Josh Grelle and Felecia Angelle, Tia Ballard and Anthony Bowling… These are names that I haven’t heard very often in the main character list. I might be wrong to say this and people can correct me but normally I hear Monica Rial, Caitlin Glass, or even Vic as main voices. I was surprised to not hear Vic’s voice for Satan and though I do love Vic, it was refreshing.
I really liked this show even if it was similar to many other shows, and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. If your looking for new and exciting, this isn’t the one, if your looking for one that plays it safe, this might be your show. Now if only they would come out with season two so I can get a actual ending like the manga, that would really be nice.
