Summary: Haters gunna hate yet somehow I watched each episode 3 times and felt it got better each time. Based on the tags of ACTION COMEDY and FANTASY attached to the show it has the first and last in spades but is lacking in the Comedy department. Dont be misled its not a parody nor is it as selfaware as something like KonoSuba. The show also has a pompous selfaggrandizing cocky and absurdly Overpowered Main character... which is precisely how youd expect a scathing comment would start yet this character was written with that exactly in mind. The show manages to plant necessary information for its plot points sometimes multiple episodes in advance and executes all the main plot triggers it sets leaving little behind that isnt particularly useful. This is especially well noted as while a growing number of shows have filler and wasted time this is kept to a minimum throughout the show. Animation and Sound are at their worst up to par but generally above average and I found on rewatching the show that the nondiegetic sounds worked excellently at seamlessly enhancing entertainment value. However some of the diegetic sounds read: attempt at singing were cringey and probably better off left out with only the final use being best described as average. Plot and concepts: As far a story building blocks go its a reasonably typical Magic Academy/OP Hero styled affair with the twist and hook being that we are observing from the demons side as the reincarnated Demon King himself. Given that a role or perspective reversal can often be refreshing I welcomed a change from always being on the Heros shoulder. While it didnt get into exploring the nittygritty of being a demon lord or what it is to be Evil it does reasonably well establish not to judge a race based on its name. The Demonic race depicted is an albeit weak demonstration of how our perception can be shifted by being shown the other side. While I will freely admit that this show doesnt explore indepth any themes that can be easily related back to the real world I will leave with my opinion that this isnt necessary to make an enjoyable or engaging story. Plot Execution: Overall plot twists were well executed and were successfully able to blindside the viewer even after being well hinted at upon rewatch with a minimal amount of truly unnecessary filler. As mentioned previously there isnt any attempt at breaking the rulebook or deepdiving any themes however its my opinion that while the envelope wasnt pushed the executed elements were done to a high enough standard that the story was able to have taken what could have very well been a boring copy/paste show and keep the viewers attention and engagement. As far as whether this will entertain others I have little doubt that those who pay attention and enjoy this genre of show Magic Academy/OP Hero will find this show very worthwhile. During rewatching I was able to pick up 1 minor plot hole which could be a result of overanalysation on my part however for the majority of viewers there will be nothing to worry about as byandlarge it is free from contradictions and major holes. Though do bear in mind that being the nature of the MC to be overpowered the use of DeusexMachina and what some would call plotbullshittery do get served in large dollops. Characters: While there are no new character tropes nor are any mouldbreaking I didnt find them to be egregiously generic or bland. Most characters got fleshed out to a reasonable extent where the viewer could understand the motivation for their actions. I also found that most actions taken seemed mostly consistent with their displayed personalities and traits. Again I feel it necessary to reiterate that while the envelope wasnt pushed the executed character tropes were filled out to a sufficiently high standard that the characters never really felt bland boring or like they were acting out of character to push the story forward. Some characters especially in the latter portion of the show from the Human faction could have done with some more development screen time and action however with only 13 episodes at the shows disposal I can understand the decision to potentially decrease side character development in favour of completing the story overall. AudioVisual: I have very little qualifications with which to commentate on the Visual side of the show as Im personally not that well attuned to art styles nor do I commonly notice animation glitches that often. However Silverlink is reasonably well known for decent quality animation and this title does not appear to be the exception. I will applaud that every source that was shown when casting magic had a unique design which was a nice touch and that there was consistency moving between episodes with design elements. This even extends to spells that are reused Gatom Gyze Asla etc. additionally scene reuse was rather minimal and if a location was reused there was typically new art drawn. Moving to the Audio aspect the nondiegetic soundstage was well mastered and typically never felt like it overpowered the characters while speaking or during action scenes. As for diegetic sounds I found that while reasonable this is where some improvements could be made. Some SFX for spells were rather generic as were several other interaction type sounds metal on metal spell breaking etc. Finally we come to the massive BUT in this category and that is the Fan club and their songs this diegetic soundtrack if I dare call it that truly makes one wish they were deaf and I almost died from a cringeinduced cardiac arrest. Luckily if youre not someone who enjoys nonidol cast members singing this only happens 3 times in the course of the show with the final time being a large step above the others as its more pushed into the BGM and less focused upon. That being said for my personal enjoyment of the show Im willing to mostly overlook this due to how well the nondiegetic sounds were mixed in and were able to modulate and change the feel of the scenes in addition to it only being egregiously bad 2 of 3 times. Overall did I enjoy the show? Yes very much as did my watch partner. Do I recommend the show? Absolutely especially for those that enjoy overpowered MCs. For those that dont like an OP MC then youre probably in the wrong place. Is it a mustwatch or required viewing show for everyone? Nah no way for people like myself it scratches an itch you didnt know you had but its certainly not a show for everyone especially not those looking for a deep plot or commentary on social or story themes. PS: Score weighting here includes point removal for singing and will vary from personal rating.
