Now here goes my basic - no spoiler summary...
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha (MMY from here-forth ) is an anime set in a fantasy - Medieval Europe where peole are at war with demons(kind of like humanoid animal mutants). There's some magic and teleportation in the mix.
Over all, biggest regret is how short it is...12 episodes is simply not enough for everything that happened there..they needed at least 26...some character backgrounds, prequels detailing war, action filled episodes... and most of all...this anime feels unfinished...I hope they make a second season...
Still, with all these huge imperfections, why did I give such a high ranking? Because this anime is very unique. It basically talks about humans vs demons fight, and bringing peace and equality to their realm, but not through Tengen Toppa, Guran Laggan, bolstering of badassery (although main protagonist could probably easily do that) but through careful usage of economics, politics, agriculture, medicine, education and negotiation tactics. In other words, here, reality is primary and magic and fantasy is secondary, the behind-the-scenes view of the war was the most important part here, and I felt like magic was completely unnecessary...and main protagonist's friends...just existed to patch sometimes broken storyliine...in other words...this anime had phenomenal potential to be the best thing ever...and if they continued the way it was for the first episode- it very well might have...kind of reminds me of outlaw star's disappointment after the first 2 episodes...meh...
