it's not a spoiler since it's literally the first thing that happens. After watching this series I still don't get it, why did they bring it in the first place? Like, wtf. Sure, let's go to the evil king and bring the two things he wants, that's a sound idea of course. What is it with shounen and idiocy?
In any case it's the same thing, bad guy, good guy. One reviewer said that it's hope vs despair, but it's still pretty shallow in its delivery. Demons want to destroy the world, sure, how will they eat tho? It's not sustainable, tsk tsk tsk. Hipsters had it right I guess.
It's something you've seen before, people with beautiful hair wielding big swords. Bangs will get you killed you know, tie your hair up! Enemies can pull it and stab you since that thing sways, but design over substance, this whole series is a compromise since it's basically an ad.
Story:
it's not original and it's not even good. If you're not going to be even slightly original then at least be good. Bad king, good guy, some pretty princess wearing the Armor of Eternal unscathed-ness. Good god, royals are serious about cleanliness.
Art:
well it's well animated. the character design is stupid but it's from a game so I guess it's normal. It's bad, but it's normal. The archer has a Robin Hood hat with a feather, why? The mage is wearing thick cloak, why? The demons have their tits out, why? I mean the male demons and the king was alright but why do female demons wear bikinis? As I've said before, people with long hair wielding big swords, tie your goddamned hair up! Your bangs will kill you! You will be the first person ever to commit friendly fire using a sword. Learn to use a string before you pickup something sharp and heavy.
Sound:
it's there and it's decent but of course it's used as a sappy way to make you "feel" during scenes that are pretty much shallow with characters you don't care about. It's the same as horror movies using the very low sound frequency that elicits an instinctive response from us to feel bad to make up for a bad movie.
Character
the rogue feels "rogue-y", the mage feels "mage-y", the knight feels "knight-y" it's a bad anime, nothing much to expect.
Enjoyment:
I'd much rather watch hentai. Like watch it from beginning to end, I've never done that but if I had to watch this again, I'd watch all the hentai in the world first.
Overall:
well, I wasted time, nothing to do but prevent others from doing the same. I kinda had hope for this, I don't even know why.
