After the climactic battle to decide the fate of humanity, the hero Max, alongside his party, emerges victorious against the formidable Demon Lord. As he draws his last breath, the defeated Maou vows to return more powerful than ever to take his revenge. Ten years later, although Maou has resurrected, the process is incomplete, resulting in him taking on the form of a child. Nevertheless, not wanting to waste another second, Maou pays his nemesis a visit—but the hero who once gallantly protected humankind from the demon's clutches is now a pitiful slob bearing no resemblance to a man of his former caliber. Despite his disappointment, Maou moves in with Max in hope of building him back up into a worthy adversary. But as the demon learns more about the events that transpired in the decade of his absence, he realizes that there is a story behind Max's downfall that he knows nothing of. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I went into this one expecting mediocrity, especially given its mundane premise, blobby visuals, and initially-sub-7 rating, but it proved to be much, much more than that. There are nuanced character motivations, layered political schemes, and a surprising amount of humanization/justification for behavior that normally gets reduced to just "bad" in simpler shows. While no conflicts or plots are taken too seriously, each one gets multiple takes from different perspectives. The two main characters also have great chemistry with each other. I am recommending this show because it goes well beyond what I had initially expected and far beneath its seemingly surface-level tropes. It reminds meof the first season of Hataraku Maou-sama (2013), Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu (2021), and even Porco Rosso (1992) with its themes of redefining yourself and failing to fit in. I am somewhat surprised by its merely lukewarm reception, and I suspect that a lot of people are unfairly writing it off the way I was.
One room hero is one of my unexpected hits of the season. It’s a rare example of a post-fantasy modern society and follows a former hero on his path to find purpose again. A fresh premise combined with great comedy, insane but loveable characters and some political drama make this a very entertaining watch. When it comes to fantasy shows, we’ve seen plenty of hero goes on a quest to defeat the demon lord style shows in recent years. We rarely get to see what that world looks like in the future and what happens to our heroes. If it’s one thing history has taught us,it’s that people have incredibly short memories and will quickly forget all you’ve done for them. What I like about One Room Hero is that it covers that unfortunate reality. Max goes from hero to zero quite literally. He has lost all motivation and purpose in life and things look bleak. That is, until he meets his former adversary, the demon lord. He and the demon lord form an unlikely but genuinely beautiful and organic friendship. I really enjoyed seeing their chemistry and how silly every moment they had on screen was. Seeing both of them try to live in a world that quite frankly no longer needs heroes or big villains was incredibly interesting. While there’s no real consistent overarching story, at least not until the final third or so of the show, it manages to remain engaging through the introduction of dynamic and hilarious side characters who bring their own quirks to the story, comedic situations and heartwarming emotional and personal growth moments for Max. It starts off very slice of life focused before branching into a more serious direction later on, but those slice of life moments had a degree of gravity to everything that’s to come later. Visually, the show is very pleasing to look at. It features a bright colour palette and some solid character designs. I haven’t read the manga yet, but I’ve heard some fans complain about how a few characters were “nerfed” if you get my drift, but as an anime only everything was fine for me. The animation is ok to decent up until episode 11 where the studio seemingly unlocked their full potential and went crazy with the action. In closing, one room yuusha is definitely worth checking out. It’s a shame that it aired in such a stacked season where it flew under the radar, but if you’ve been looking for a funny anime to watch or something new, this is a great candidate. Fresh story, well written characters and a fun ride. One room yuusha gets 8, out of 10.
I've been a fan of this manga for a while, so I was pretty excited to see that it was getting an anime adaptation; and they didn't disappoint with it. I don't really know what more to ask for. The story is fun, the characters are likable. The action scenes were animated really well. The voice acting for the JP side was superb. I'm giving this a perfect score for what it is: an extremely well executed dumb, fantasy comedy with an interesting premise. I recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the Isekai comedy genre (though I guess this isn't really an isekai,just feels like one). I'm sure the echi fan-service bits will put some people off, but as long as you get past that, it's a strong series and a great show.
Gender Chaotic. Possibly the hidden gem of the season, Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero is the second coming of The Devil is a Part-timer that White Fox denied us and that Studio 3Hz’s mostly failed to deliver unto us. Max the hero and his companions have defeated the Demon Lord and saved the world from destruction. Unfortunately, in times of peace and a rapidly evolving society -which goes from a generic medieval fantasy world to modern-day capitalist Japan in ten years- there is no need for a Dragon Quest-esque hero. After the ancient Demon Lord resurrects in the body of a gremlinso it can enact revenge upon its greatest enemy, he’s disappointed to find Max hungover and lying in his own filth. Thus the Demon Lord vows to help Max out and get him back on his feet so they can fight it out again with the help of a swimsuit-clad demon secretary who's just as stupid as the two of them combined. Despite the relatively simple premise, the execution is genuinely hilarious. There were multiple times Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero had me laughing my ass off. Max finding the courage to rise above his cynicism for the human society that cast him aside and defamed him with scandals with the Demon Lord's help goes as well as you can imagine. From a drunken street brawl with a drunk demon lady wearing nothing but brass knuckles that don’t chuckle, to becoming a shitty content churning Youtuber and getting banded after he tries to get his non-binary Demon Lord friend who can transmogrify between an androgynous gremlin and a sexy woman wearing a lewd high school uniform, exactly Max’s type, to take off its clothes on a live stream, it’s a long, arduous and weirdly sexually tense journey for Max becoming a responsible member of society. Meanwhile, Max is constantly being pestered by his former party member Fred to help intervene in a potential war between the Kingdom and a rising Republic led by another of his former party members that he wants nothing to do with. I’m genuinely impressed at how well Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero is animated. Studio Silver Link has always been quite good at making engaging anime out of little resources. Some of the fight scenes (especially the final one of the season) are much better than they have any right to be. That can be said for the entire anime. It's way better than it has any right to be. Sure it’s a bit trashy, the underlying conspiracy happening in the B plot is a bit tedious and the show’s pacing takes some time to get going, but overall I really enjoyed Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero. It’s funny, honest and a lot of fun. 7/10 Good.
“Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero!” is what happens when You dial up a bromance up to 11. The Hero Max and his companions are able to defeat the Demon Lord. Ten years later the fiend reawakens. In the body of a small androgynous child. Eager to fight his adversary again he quickly tracks down Max. Unfortunately the last decade wasn’t kind to the former hero. He became a lazy slacker neet. After the initial shock the Demon Lord decides to move in with Max and get him in shape both physically and mentally so they can have their rematch. Not gonna lie, the premiseis the reason why I watched this. It sounded awesome. The reality… isn’t as interesting. For starters let’s have a look at the characters that matter for the plot: Max - The Hero who led the team, then defeated the Demon Lord a decade prior. Today he’s washed-up, lives in a small one room apartment, and has plenty of scandals under his belt. He acts like he doesn’t really care but he still holds on to his old, holy sword and even talks to kids about his adventures proving he is, at least to some degree living in the past. He tries to avoid trouble but he gets dragged in anyway. Maou - The reborn Demon Lord. Despite being quite masculine in his previous incarnation he now has a body of an androgynous but still rather feminine child. He has the ability to transform into a young woman and doesn’t seem to want or can change into other human forms. He has an unhealthy obsession with Max. Like really unhealthy. Instead of taking care of his domain, maybe preparing for the reawakening of the demon king, he decides to take care of Max. Not in a Hitman: Code 47 kind of way but more like a mother or wife way. He cooks, cleans and tries to get the former hero on his feet. He even gets flustered when Max says something nice about his cooking or is looking at his adult female form stunned. Zenia - officially a secretary of the Demon Lord. She’s the reason why he’s wearing a sailor’s uniform with a skirt. Unofficially practically everything that the demon lord needs. She’s proficient at gathering information doing that for the last ten years so that the Demon Lord would be up to date. She can’t really hold her liquor. She got drunk and caused a commotion and trouble for Max after just one beer. Let’s be honest, she’s in the show as eye candy and little more. Despite that I think she’s the most underutilised character in the show. Fred - no, not the barber Fred from “Courage the Cowardly Dog”, this time we have a cleric Fred. He’s one of the members of the Hero team that kicked the Demon’s Lord ass. Friend to Maou and Leo even though he has a strange way of showing it at times. He serves as Chief Secretary at the Royal Bureau of Magic aka a government slave. He’s competent, skilled, confident and likes to have an upper hand when “negotiating”. He cares for his friends but shows it in a very tsundere way. Leo - Another member of the heroes party. Leo was the tank of the team. Strong, loyal and always having a positive attitude with sometimes infuriated Fred. After the Kingdom tried to swindle his people out of natural resources on their land he was forced to declare independence and with that started a civil war. He did that but made sure to not kill any soldier on the opposite side. He’s strong, like to fight and is loyal to his friends. Of course that doesn’t mean he’s not more than willing to get into a fight with them. The cast is pretty strong with most characters having some pretty good motivation to their actions. If I have to be honest, the worst one is Max. He’s the only one without any true motivation or goal. It seems like everyone is doing something except the hero. Well… that’s not entirely true. He does reject both his friends when they try to involve him in their conflict. He’s as passive as passive can be. A reborn Demon Lord moves in with him? Cool. He’s practically kidnaped and forced into a “field trip” to another nation? No problem. I get he’s supposed to be a washed-up loser but come on. That’s overkill. He does bare minimum, just to keep himself alive. It takes a war for him to stop being pathetic and even then it’s pretty much a stretch to call him a hero again. When it comes to the plot itself it’s a weird mix. The show starts off as a comedy but as the show progresses it begins to show a bit of political thriller and at the end it’s almost a full on political action thriller. I don’t really mind that. I have a soft spot for well written political thrillers. This one.. Is not it. The problem is mixing comedy and politics. The comedy doesn’t really hit with all the conniving and manipulations and the politics isn’t a good match for the type of characters Max and Maou are. Despite Maou sometimes acting like a proper demon lord and trying to recruit the hero and other characters to his side, he mostly acts like a wife or girlfriend. It kills the drama for me. Especially that some of those moments are played completely straight. World building has some problems as well. The part that I truly don’t get is why the war with the demons even happens. There is a point when we see the Demon Lord instruct his minions to not kill humans mindlessly as they do not reincarnate. That shows that Maou cherishes life. So why the war? Why would someone who doesn’t want to kill humans go to war with them? The only reason I could think of is that it’s the result of humans benign humans and feeding people some bullshit to get the riled up and forcing demons to defend themselves. It’s a huge hole in both world and character building. Apart from that the writing isn’t anything special. It’s just a middle of the road comedy that plays with some romcom tropes. To be honest it did get me to chuckle now and then and the relationship between Max and Maou is a pretty interesting one. Threading the line between a bromance and a full on romance at times. I liked it. It took cliche tropes that got old a decade or two ago and put a nice twist on them. All in all it’s not a bad show but it’s not great either. The potential is there and the show ends in a way that promises more things to come and those things could be more political in nature. I wouldn't mind that to be honest. If the writers would do a better job at balancing the politics and type of comedy this could be a really solid show.
After defeating the demon lord 10 years ago, the great hero Max is now a deadbeat leaving in a tiny apartment. The demon lord having now been reincarnated as a little demon girl is disappointed to find the hero they once respected in this current state. They decide to stay with the hero and help him regain motivation in his life. But the demon lord's feelings for Max may be deeper than just mutual respect. The demon lord has a very funny personality especially when compared to their original form. Max is fine. He's just the guy trying to mind his own business but gets dragged along for theride. However Max is not someone to be underestimated as he is incredibly strong and skilled. The demon lord also has a secretary. She provides most of the fanservice. With constant shots of her butt in skin-tight clothes. It starts off entertaining. Unfortunately it devolves into something about politics, terrorism, and a territory that wants to secede from a kingdom. Feels like 2 anime awkwardly mashed together. The original plot feels completely lost.
The Hero's party defeat the demon lord ushering in a era of peace to the world. A decade later the demon lord is resurrected (in chibi form) and is off to find his great hero... who is now a bum has-been living in filth. Refusing to give up on him the demon lord settles in to make a hero out of him once again! You know, I think someone had a lot of love for the source material. While the animation budget did seem tight in spots a lot of care and attention was given to the artwork. Mostly though this was just a very cuteand sweet show. Someone who was past his prime, who got stepped on by life, and yet. From the promo I worried about the loli aspect of the demon lord but thankfully it wasn't that. The characters sweet, the plot fluid and the jokes land. I might have laughed a little too hard at a recurring "The Ring" joke to be honest. I think if the show had a flaw it would be taking the setting from medieval times to modern japan in just the span of a decade. Seems a bit fast but they were clearly trying to tell the story of someone past his prime just needing a little support to try again.

In a sea of isekai and "ordinary Japanese schoolboy" anime, this series stands out as a breath of fresh air. Its story is not just unique but captivating, with characters that are both well-written and original, setting a standard for character development in the genre. The lore and storytelling mode draw a delightful parallel to "Isekai Ojisan," yet manages to surpass it with its depth and engagement. Visually, it shares a similar art design with "Meikyuu Black Company" and "Sentouin, Hakenshimasu!" which adds to its charm. Each episode has been a joy to watch, consistently delivering quality content that keeps viewers hooked. This anime isa must-watch for anyone looking for something different yet thoroughly enjoyable.
The premise is pretty straight-forward. The Hero Max defeats the Demon Lord and saves humanity. 10 years pass. The Demon Lord is resurrected. While 10 years was not enough time to restore himself to his previous power level, the Demon Lord rushed his own resurrection because he was anxious for a rematch with his nemesis, Max, before the human’s death. As such, the prematurely resurrected Demon Lord, who looks like a thick loli now for whatever reason, goes to the Human Realm to face his opponent in glorious combat once more. What he finds, however, is far from the stuff of legend. Fame went tohis head, and after numerous scandals, his degenerate behavior caused Max to be shunned from society. He has let himself go and now lives as a complete NEET. In essence, it’s an idea that has been done to death in comedy – previously revered and legendary character has now fallen off and is the butt of every joke. I find this premise fairly ridiculous, and I’ll reiterate what I said about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. A dude who has literally saved the entire world would earn carte blanche to do literally whatever he wants forever, but that’s neither here, nor there, so I digress. Given this sad state of affairs, through some kind of pretzel logic, in order to revitalize his rival and bring him back to his former glory, the resurrected Demon Lord essentially decides to become Max’s live-in maid. Hilarity ensues. While a lot of humor is derived from it, the narrative logic is thin, much like in The Devil is a Part-Timer!, so don’t try and think too much about it, but unlike the aforementioned show, which I did not enjoy, this is not massively popular, so I did not go into it expecting anything impressive, and as such, felt adequately entertained! It was still weird, though. Let us forget about them being mortal enemies for a moment. The Demon Lord is a dude, but comes back as a loli (not a shota), and whenever he walks around town with Max, he transforms into a presumably barely legal bombshell chick. Why am I telling you all of this? Because I got the distinct impression that the show is trying to softly ship them, which was just bizarre. No actual romance happens, to be sure, but the finale was pretty sus. On an unrelated note, I’d like to note that though the show explicitly states that Max has ‘let himself go’, the dude is still crazy strong and in shape, it’s just that there’s stubble on his chin now and his eyes have lost the sparkle of youth. What I specifically want to point out here is that I find Max to have the ideal male anime action hero physique, much like Zoro from One Piece and Laxus from Fairy Tail, though those 2 have their over-the-top shots. Max is muscular, unlike some scrawny git like Naruto or Ichigo, but also not cartoonishly big like Escanor from T7DS or some Baki character. The show also doesn’t feel the need to constantly explicitly point out to the audience the fact that he is in fact muscular, like Amazon’s Reacher. You don’t even really see him without a shirt. You can simply tell that the dude has a perfectly built and proportioned strong physique that’s hiding in plain sight. Show, don’t tell. As for fanservice, yeah, there’s some, but nothing too outrageous, so if you’re thinking about watching this show for a quick tug, don’t. I will say, though, that while there is no action to speak of throughout the series, the finale features a protracted three-way battle that put on a pretty impressive spectacle. Not only was it a pretty light show, but this random gag show made me actually invest in the mechanics of the fight and the abilities of these dudes that weren’t foreshadowed or explained before in any way whatsoever. There’s even one particular scene where this massive rock gets shattered, and there’s an incredible number of particles flying around on screen, and 2 characters are jumping from flying rock shard to flying rock shard, chasing and hitting each other, and the 3D camera movements tracking them were legitimately amazing. If you’ve seen One Piece Film: Z, and you remember the fight between Sanji and Bins, the Mosa Mosa guy, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. In the final analysis, if you find this kind of parody humor to your liking, give it a go, but it’s not overly deep or brilliant, so I’d posit that there are lots of other shows that would better occupy your time. Like I mentioned earlier, The Devil is a Part-Timer! feels very similar and is massively popular, so setting my personal dislike aside, there’s a good to fair chance you’ll enjoy it. A much better recommendation, though, would be YuuShibu (#83), which, apart from sharing an almost identical premise and being a whole lot funnier, is also just downright softcore porn. A quick tug is back on the menu, boys!
Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero. With a title like that one would think this to be an anime adaptation for some narou isekai. Combine it with an art style straight of 1990s and you will get a recipe of the most overlooked anime of this season. In actuality this anime is probably among the best anime of this season, here is why. Story The main plot of this anime is pretty simple. Ten years after getting defeated be the hero party, the demon lord resurrected and then live together with the washed up hero to make him great again. It's a great vehiclefor them to explore the secondary plot, the political conflict between two nation and two ex hero companion. Now I did said "political" but it is far from complex, the way they presented it is actually really simple but nuanced. And in the end it will tied back to the main plot of the anime about Max's growth which is great. Also the story of this anime is completed with little to no loose ends, which really rare for a seasonal one cour anime Character This is probably the biggest strength of this anime. All characters in this anime are likeable especially our two main characters. Max is our main protagonist, he is your typical tsundere cynical main character that hate the world but not really. What make him great character is the fact you can see all his good (and bad) traits from his action and along the story you start to actually understand why Maou really like him. Next is Maou themself, they are a demon lord (hence why we call them maou) that get reincarnated into a cute sized moth demon. From their design you would think they will have a bratty personality. While they do have some moment of flair, their personality can be described as a really supportive but strong minded wife. They will be there for Max but they will not afraid to speak or act up when they are not agree with Max. Overall they are a really lovable and pleasant person. Oh and there are hints of romance between Max and Maou, which is really cute. Art/Sound This anime is not among the most highest budget production of this season for sure. You will notice several budget saving technique use here and there but it's never too egregious (Except for the OP animation), but once in a while this show will give you a really high quality animation especially during fight scenes. Art and sound wise it really remind me of 90s anime, and if you have watched anime for that long you will get a sense of nostalgia from it, which is a good thing for me. In conclusion, it is a really enjoyable and charming show. If you can tolerate or better yet enjoy the old school aesthetic and a bit of ecchi, you will found an amazing show about character growth.
Don't get me wrong, while I'm giving it a tentative recommendation, my feelings are definitely mixed in some ways. Especially when it comes to the Demon King, if you know what I mean. The review can wait. Would you do him? Him? Her? A homie who looks like a child most of the time but can also look like a hot girl and also cooks like a pro chef? It might just be the way... Oh and I'm signing the contract. Sorry, not sorry. Ehem, anyway, I expceted something like Jahy, Jashin or Demon Girl Next Door but it doesn't quite work as well overall. Theaction parts are better than expected and the occasional fanservice was fairly nice while not detracting too much from what was happening. The characters are quite specific and might not be to everyone's taste though. The hero is an asshole with a heart of gold but the asshole part is not downplayed. If you'd like to see a washed up hero who rarely gives a damn and goes to adult cinemas to rub one out then you would enjoy him. There is also (one) room to grow which might bethe ned game of his character. The Demon King is confusing in so many ways though... As a character they work but... It's technically a dude but most of the time they look like a child... Gremlin... Kinda... Thing... And sometimes they look like a hot girl... They certainly behave in a feminine way and most likely have a crush on the hero and would probably not mind getting it on as a female... You see what I mean? It is a good way to explain why the hero doesn't want to stick it in the Demon King though. And I guess if you are an immortal being who can change appearances then you would play both teams anyway. The supporting cast is nice but desperately needs more screen time. Fred's entourage can be fairly fun and they would probably shine with more development, Zenia is hot and endearing and the hero party can also be quite entertaining and charming if given enough time. Overall it's definitely not bad and can get better with more episodes. Oh and both the music and action can be pleasantly surprising. The story also has some potential.
One of the better releases this season which people put down. I liked One room hero mainly for how good its comedy was and the chemistry between Max and the demonlord who reincarnates to find the hero being a miserable but funny mess and the potential for comedy was utilised decently between them and the other side characters. The setting of the world was good although going from old europe to modern japan was a bit off but funny since they used the modern day to make more gags and not just slice of life stuff. the characters are what you'd expect from a comedy so not toomuch detail is needed as the primary focus was the comedy and then story which picks up in the second half of the anime. The story also wraps up so the creators aren't trying to scum a season 2 with some kind of cliffhanger at the end, although it's not a big fullfilling conclusion and is more of one fitting of a comedy. With all that in mind I'd say it's definitely an anime which will make you laugh just from how much Max is put through because of a demon that looks either like a child or an insta thott.
A retried hero loses his interest in society, then a demon lord reborn as a chibi girl that can transform into a thot reunite with the hero is a nice way of stirring a story. The technological advancement of the kingdom for a decade was just silly. Great storyline and comedy, the way they phase the story and bring flashback for the characters are not misleading and confusing. Character design and the way they drew the characters are job well done by the studio. Fun and chill to watch. I enjoyed it. Hopefully there will be a new season with the same studios And production.

I think it was fine and could recommend the first 8 episodes, but the remaining 4 ruined my experience, personally; it felt like there was a major tonal shift from slice-of-life and comedy to action and "friendship" (and a bit of intrigue), which simply made the last episodes not enjoyable/funny to me. The way that the territorial/friendship conflict was handled towards the end made it difficult for me to laugh at the small attempts at slapstick; the contrast in vibes was simply too jarring. Also, the cleric's behavior was *really* annoying for me (perhaps more appropriate for non-comedy anime), and that further soured anyattempts at humor. I'm disappointed that the comedy and approach to light-hearted interpersonal development that drew me in from the first several episodes didn't seem to stay to the end of the series. My personal rating of this series would be a 3/10 as an overall experience, but I do think other people might enjoy it more than I did, hence the 5/10 overall score. Up until episode 8, I'd say my personal experience was like, a 7 or 8 out of 10.
Story: The story was rather beautiful and traditional in that it presents a satirical comedy template and raises some questions. Music: The music was ordinary, neither the opening nor the last, and the internal music was also ordinary. Drawing: Honestly the drawing was what attracted me most in this work in that the expressions of the characters and the reactions were funny. Animation:The studio did a good job knowing that moving some scenes was rather poor, but as a whole at the animation level, it was beautiful. Summary: The work was beautiful, its positives more than its negatives, and I recommend it on the part of changing the atmosphere and laughter I wish I met your requirements to know some details of this work
Before watching I was already suspicious that the Demon King's character was similar to Kiriha from Tsugumomo, and i a surprise if her voice was also the same, in my heart what is this? I feel like I'm seeing version 2 of Kiriha. In my opinion, the art style is lacking, especially since the demon king looks like a fat child, and what makes it uncomfortable is that the eyes and horns are too prominent. The background also turns out to be not like Fantasy anime in general, they live in a modern world like now, but according to past memories the world is like anormal Fantasy anime, maybe this is a development of the times in the last 10 years. I felt like I shouldn't continue watching, but I decided to continue watching and it turned out to be good too, a funny comedy and quite an interesting storyline, basically lots of unexpected things that made me laugh, really funny. The soundtrack for episode 2 is also quite unique when the hero wants to go to a place he shouldn't go, the opening and ending songs are also good. But I'm a little worried about the development of the story in the future, if there is a next season maybe the story won't be like this I think, it will start to get serious and the comedy will be less and it will focus on the battles I think.
This is a decent anime because of its really tight plot and a perfect story arc that fits in 12 episodes. Plot The setting is current day japan, but in a world where demons and magic exist. The hero (with his party) actually wins the great war against demon lord around 10 years ago. But, now the demon lord has returned as a loli, only to find the hero to be a poor loser NEET in a shabby apartment. The disappointed loli demon lord has now decided to help hero get his life back on track, while waiting for the demon army to revive and attackthe humans. The rest of the story revolves around slowly figuring out what happened in the last 10 years, where are the party members, how will the hero become a proper adult and so on. The shows is very similar to gintama. MC is a loser bum lives in a one room apartment, who once used to be a hero in the great war against demons. and MC's friends (members of his party during war) are facing a serious conflict due to their different ideals. Lots of flashbacks to the past war/adventure time. And you have the demons that come in different varieties (like aliens in gintama). Anyway, the show basically revolves around the development of conflict between the two friends. But the primary focus is always the comedy (lots of running gags and ecchi) with some occasional Wholesome/SoL moments. There are plenty of wholesome romcom moments between demon lord and hero. And that's all good. But where the show really shines is its quality plot. It manages to tell an almost complete story within 12 episodes. It also maintains consistency in its quality throughout the series. The animation/art/music are all good enough to not really distract from the series. If you watch first episode, you know *exactly* what you are getting into, so you don't need to waste much time figuring out if you will like it. If you are not hooked by second episode though, you may just drop it, as there's no "genre shift" or twist that will change your opinion of this show.
