Maoujou de Oyasumi (2020)

When I saw this at the start of the season I thought it looks nice I will add it to my watch later list. Eventually, due to a quarantine, I had a lot more time on my hands so I watched 11 episodes of this show over the weekend prior to episode 12 and honestly I am so glad I did. It is a really nice, relaxing and great paced show that was a great ride. It even has a nice ending with plenty of Manga to adapt further if possibly wanted.

The art style is very much reminiscent of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun in regards to the nice gentle way it shows off demons as fun characters you would love to spend time with. Although some are fearsome monsters they still have a nice feel to them. The main character Sya is especially great when she changes her eyes for shock or horror and such.

The OP is great with the main character singing it directly via animation. The ED is great too. Generally sounds work really well and don't need much depth since it is not about that.

Characters develop with Sya who just wants to sleep comfortably with a set of characters that really are not that evil.
The demon realm is generally much nicer than you would expect with a vast wide-ranging set of personalities.
The human realm is still very jokey with much of the sillier personalities in terms of weaknesses to the demons by comparison.

The queen, Sya's mother is a great woman. Cubey the succubus and Harpy the harpy are awesome characters. Especially with Harpy being so friendly, also nice to see her have human arms as well as her wings. Cubey being as cute a character especially being a somewhat unsuccessful succubus.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show to which whilst not perfect it is absolutely worth watching. I would love to see a new season to see where it goes in regards to human-demon relations but if too much it could become too repetitive for some.

9/10. An unexpected delight on my watchlist this season and added to my read list.
