Enter Kyo Kara Maoh, a mediocre adventure of a preteen named Yuuri, who is suddenly thrown into another world to become the next Demon King of the Great Demon Kingdom.

Alright, this anime is NOT BAD, but neither is it able to shine among the other anime shows. Sometimes the story becomes a little lackluster, other times it keeps my attention. Some of the filler episodes and even the main story in Kyo Kara Maoh can be extremely boring and predictable. Other times though, Kyo Kara Maoh delivers such as when Yuuri, Wolfram, Conrad, and other Demon tribesmen go to the human world. Also, the last couple episode will keep you tense on your feet.

Lets talk about the art and sound in Kyo Kara Maoh. The artwork is neither bad nor good, just like the story. Some of the soundtracks, such as when Yuuri turns into his demon form are pretty memorable. The majority of soundtracks though are forgettable compared to other anime shows. I actually prefer the English dubs as Conrad's and Gunter's voice actors sound strange and less memorable in the Japanese version.

The character relationships are probably the best part of this show. Yuuri's adviser Gunter is probably my favorite character of the show, due to his eccentric character and extreme devotion to Yuuri. It is odd though that there is a lot more guy characters than girl characters (who are often assigned to more comedic roles).

Overall, this show is a satisfying watch and should be watched if you have nothing else to watch. Lets face it, there exists much better epic anime shows like Death Note, Code Geass, One Piece, and Yu Yu Hakusho. Kyo Kara Maoh might be a forgettable adventure story, but it entertains.
