Demon King Daimao

I loved that the Demon King storyline almost poked fun at the American Hero syndrome..... and the characters all had major sex appeal. I liked the dialogue and found it comical but I do wish that it could have ended a little differently. Knowing that another season probably wont come out made the ending seem really "MEH" to me.
But over all the series was good fun for all and I do hope hey scrummage up another season!

The storyline was ok just not enough depth or explanation, at some points it seemed to cliche. If the story was deeper and there was more focus on the background story I would like it more. We see only glimpses of the events leading to the main story, It's a doubled edge sword. Having a shallow story can mean more seasons and a longer run but that only works if the story is great , like Requiem for the Phantom , I would have loved for it to have gone longer but we went from the original story line and fast forwarded twice to the end. Hopefully this story gets more substantial if it gets another season.

Storyline:
Pretty simple, a boy join high school but it turns out he is the next demon king or Satan. Due to that his dream to become a pope got nearly crushed and he has to fight all kind of people in order to survive the next day.

Music:
Ranges from pop, rock and techno. Pretty good for filling out the anime a bit, but not awesome.

Characters:
Steroetypes from anime and mangas are very present in this anime. Like the weak boy who has a strong sense of justice who suddenly turns into a hero, the dimwitted girl who likes the hero and always end up in trouble etc.
The only characters that is a little special from the usual cast is the main hero. From the beginning and a bit into the series he can be calm even in strange and erotic situations but later on he gets more and more like the classic easily stimulated high school boy who gets aroused and nearly a nose bleed when seeing a girls panties and such. Despite that he can keep a bit of his previous collected calmness in the rest of the short anime of just 12 episodes.

Animation:
It is pretty good. It feels modern and the battles are fast and smooth. But sometimes it feels a bit to cheap when the colors are glistening too much and light. Despite that the anime is pretty good even though it was surely made in a hurry and with a low budget. Otherwise it would have been longer.

In the end, the anime is pretty good.
It has some major flaws though.
The ecchiness. Ecchi parts are very common like seeing naked girls and whatnot. Those moments just lower the general feeling of every episode and the whole series.
The other flaw is the kendo girls naivety. She easily misunderstand nearly every strange or just any situation that occur to the main male hero. She gets pissed and start to hate the hero and even try to beat him up. Later they make up. And so the same pattern goes around over and over : situation - misunderstand - hate - beating - makeup - situation etc.

Overall, I thought that the story was very compelling, like a reverse Harry Potter. I was intrigued and that original intrigue kept my interest throughout the series with his early desire to be High Priest to do good and remake society for the better and the fact that he's destined to be the Demon King and when he displays the his beliefs he's met by his classmates with direct similarities between him and the old Demon King. If this is the type of thing that piques your interest prepared to only be teased by this series. The story suffers when it begins to focus on the sexual as opposed to anything else. I just learned thanks to a previous review that this type of anime is known as ecchi which deals with sexuality and sex but not stereotypically over the top gross weird sex with things like tentacles. There is a tentacle scene in this anime however, but to me it felt more tongue in cheek.
Storyline, I thought it was like a reversed Harry Potter. Instead of a great hero he his cast as histories future greatest villain. It leads him to misunderstanding after misunderstanding with secret schemes. the relationship between the characters is it's main focus, The storyline seems like it had too little time for everything in it and so parts just feel thrown in there. The pre-intro vignettes provide a lot of mystery and deeper character insight but the larger story suffers at times.
Music. On the whole I liked the music. The Theme song was good, the closer was good, at one point a background song made me say, "badass" so that was good. It's not Batman the Animated Series background music badass but badass is badass and lets face it thats pretty badass.
Characters. I really liked the characters in this story. Negatively, some felt thrown in there at the very end to tie up a bunch of stuff that felt just added, but that gave more of a realistic sense to it. I liked the robot the best, she had the best one liners and was given enough to screen time to compliment the main character well. Akuto Sai the demon king is the main character and the hero, he absolutely shines at the end when he becomes an antihero at the climax. This, for me is one of those times in this series where I wished they would have spent more time with instead of the other stuff. Some characters feel genuine and is what keeps this show any good.
Animation. Pretty solid, a few scenes later in the episode where thick lines appear all of a sudden.
In the end I would recommend, but with reservations for these two reasons A scene I will write a bit about and the climax (but not as it is)
The Scene I want to write a bit about doesn't involve a sea cucumber but a camera angle. It occurs in the first episode and after watching the first three episodes questions about this scene kept coming back up for me. Akuto subdues Junko and is holding her in front of him talking low and trying to explain himself. The episode has been pretty solid so far setting everything up pretty well, and a laughable moment with panty gazing between the two main characters so far. There has since been a misunderstanding and Akuto wants to make sure that Junko understand that he has the best intentions (the first episode deals a lot with intent) In the middle of this conversation to clear the air the camera lowers to Junko's skirt where as he explains more, she makes some noise and her legs open for a critch shot. The way the other two episodes went, I was left wondering if that camera angle summed up the entire summation of their relationship with eachother. Why couldn't the camera stay on their faces? This is the biggest problem with Demon King Daimao, important, intriuging, and very interesting subject matter is thrown out the window for underpants. When the characters do begin to discuss romance and feelings toward eachother it seems like another distraction. To end on a positive note, The climax is awesome in comparisson. All of a sudden all these different storypoints appear out of nowhere and come to a head with Akuto as a definite antihero who can easil be rooted for. All in all it's alright.

STORYLINE
Normally, this kind of shows have a similar world to a bunch of other series. This one however, goes far enough to create a new world out of scratch. The prophecy of the Demon King itself is enough to make any action-loving viewer at least give it a try. As the story unfolds, the prophecy of the Demon King is further explained and adds a lot of elements. The world in which they are is very fantastic, but it's explained so well , that you feel like you have been living there your whole life by the time this is over. The series also comes LOADED with fan service, something that a lot of fans really appreciate. The good thing is that it isn't too much fan service as to make the story and characters ridiculous.
MUSIC
The music of this show is like the show itself, explosive and at a constant level of high volume rhythm. Unfortunately , I do not see the opening or ending song one that could stand by itself without the show and pictures. The music for the action scenes however, get you really fired up, however, and makes it all that much enjoyable.
CHARACTERS
Half of the characters in Demon King Daimao can be described in just one , unnecessary long word ( just like unnecessary): stereotypical. Some of the main characters have a personality that is already defined in the anime world. They can be fun at times and the girls provide a very...interesting... fan service. * cough* Anyway, the main character, fortunately is not the same as them, so it kind of gives variety to the show. Especially when the main character changes his attitude to a ruthless murder.
ANIMATION
This show has this kind of animation which is seen with very good eyes by a large part of the fans. The world is filled with magic, so it's only natural that they must all be flashy and visually beautiful. That's just the case here. The magic casting and fights in the show are all very intense and look very good. The environments filled with magic are also very attractive and add a very special " aura " to the situation.
REVIEW KING NARUTORASE
OK, I'm not a king, so what? Oh , that's right, the show. This is very beautiful artistically talking and the storyline feels somewhat original since the main character can be described as both a " hero of justice" or an " anti-hero". If you are looking or simply like action-fantasy-fan service shows, man ( or woman) this show is definitely a must.

Overall:
This is the first anime i watched here in CR and i loved it. It made me ROFL, LOL, and LMAO. it gave me nosebleed too.(haha jk)

Storyline:
This one's supposed to be 4/5. The story was great but as other people said its kinda rushed. I would've appreciate it if they made this longer.

Music:
IDK but the music was stuck in my head. It's really nice for me though.

Characters:
OMG! no doubt. I LOVE the characters. Hattori-san is so cool and sexy. Riri is sooo Cute. i just love them all. oh.. i dont like Brave though it seems weird for him to be in this story.

Animation:
IDC about the animation. It's good for me.

Oh well that's it. Sorry, i know i have many grammar mistakes just bare with it. :p

Demon King Diamao is an experience to be sure. this 12 episode series (a series that goes for only one season 10-15 episodes) can move you in many was the fans of most genres would agree. This series has magic, fights, girls (what anime doesn't have hot girls), and a storyline that put you in one place and doesn't let you go until you finish this series.a promising high school-er goes to a magic school looking to become a high priest and what the physician tells him and his classmates is that he is the next demon lord panic ensues etc, etc. this is a series that i hope every one can watch and enjoy. after all this you can assume i liked the series and wish for more but alas this is done and life continues so lets be done and move on. ( DEFINITELY WATCH)
