Story: Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou or Demon King Daimao,is about Akuto Sai, a young man enrolling in a magic high school to one day become a high priest. He basically wants to be someone like Gandhi bringing peace and harmony throughout the world but is told by the extremely accurate fortune telling machine that he will be a Demon Lord, or the next Adolf Hitler. So from the beginning he is constantly harassed by his fellow schoolmates. There are however a few people that actually tries to befriend him and understand his situation rather than seeing him as a monster. Many things happens that makes him look even more as a monster bent on destroying the God Suhara. Once he realizes that it is almost impossible to escape from his role as the next Demon Lord, he goes against God Suhara, hoping to change the system that is making people accept their fate base on their ability to use magic and the fortune telling machine.
Art: The characters looks pretty good, but the scenes they are in looks quite average. There isn't a lot of elaborate or beautiful scene. The anime itself just stick close to the plot and keeps it that way so that is pretty nice, though I would have liked it if they paid a little more time to make the scenes more detailed.
Sound: The sound was ok and the theme song was pretty good.
Characters: The character are alright. What makes this anime quite different from many that I have watched is that it doesn't really bother to go in detail on background stories. It completely focus on Akuto Sai and that is about it. There is barely any character development that can be noticed, beside Akuto on how he chooses to change his fate. So the plot moves by really quick in this 12 episode series.
Enjoyment: Personally I enjoyed this series again. It was extremely short, and the plot seemed kind of undeveloped, making this series to go by in a blink of an eye. Also the shortage of character development is easily seen in this series. Though I really like the "rebellion" idea, how Akuto tries to defies his predetermine "destiny." Also the idea of being the "Demon Lord" was also kind of cool. Wish there were more fighting scenes though or like he was able to use more of his powers. Well hope you enjoy this anime!
