With Rabbi Village greatly expanding under the management of his subordinates Isami Tahara and Yuu Kirino, Hakuto Kunai can now resume his adventures while looking for items to counteract magic. He begins his search at the Prison Labyrinth in Rookie Town, where a secret laboratory deep within the dungeon gives him insight into technology that is far more advanced and dangerous than anything in the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, Rabbi Village has gained unwanted international attention from the newly formed Queendom of Xenobia, which wishes to drive a wedge between the Holy Kingdom of Light and the State of Right. But with Kunai's newly summoned aide, Akane Fujisaki, at his disposal, things may not go as the Queendom plans.

Demon Lord, Retry! R - Wait a minute, this isn't the Maou-sama, Retry! that we remember from time past...what's going on? In my own thinking, there is kind of an unwritten rule when it comes to shows and their continuations: the further development of the story plot and its characters into something that we are already familiar with, and no tampering of anything that is outside of its picture. Yet, in the current landscape of the AniManga industry, we have shows like The Promised Neverland diverging from its story to become one of the most infamous examples of a rushed plot. And in this season, thiscan be debated if novelist Kurone Kanzaki's Maou-sama, Retry! a.k.a Demon Lord, Retry!'s series is intended to be as such, but it's quite the confusion that, ultimately, to loyal fans like myself who've really enjoyed Season 1 despite its low-budget aesthetics, it feels like a slap in the face for that dissonance alone.
For starters, if you're thinking that Retry! R is continuing the adaptation of the LN as Season 2, then I'm sorry to disappoint you that it is wedged in a weird spot that can be hard to get around. Despite the sequel adapting Volumes 3 to 5 of the LN, it's the decision to follow the "revamped" manga under the "Retry! R" name that just adds to the confusion to let people who've watched Season 1 think that they're watching something else instead of what is supposed to be THE continuation of the original source material. In actuality, it's just the differential marketing for the manga adaptation of the LN under a different name, but the story actually remains colloqually the exact same.
And boy, what a convoluted story does the sequel bring to the audience, thinking that Season 1 was produced on the cheap and that the sequel can improve things further. You definitely can feel what the sequel brought: its "revamped" Midas touch, and it's just all sorts of messed up. There's just nothing redeemable about this whatsoever, in any shape or form.
God, where do I start with the bad outings of Retry! R? Demon Lord Hakuto Kunai now transforms from a badass bamboo lord to an oversized, fat, plump lord that nothing about him resembles his character to that of Season 1. The cute and adorable Aku is nowhere to be found, and in her place stands Luna Elegant dealing with the intricacies of kingdom politics with being on-screen more with the shenanigans of Hakuto still dealing with his troubles. To add to the matter, Hakuto's NPC summons become more prevalent, but their usefulness only matters towards the plot that needs immediate intervention with clear threats to be dealt with. And this plot, it's all over the place with no recourse nor explanation that would only serve as the basis for knowledge wars against people who understand and people who don't (and I fall under the latter). The saying of "too many cooks spoil the broth" definitely rears its ugly head here, and too many "notable" characters are there for God knows why they're there in the first place, for the bigger of the plot picture that's like a puzzle that has numerous pieces to link together but could not do so for the life of thee.
I'm even as baffled to say that despite being a bigger studio than the one that came before it, the combined efforts of Season 1 handled by Ekachi Epilka and director Hiroshi Kimura is leaps and bounds better than what 3rd-rate director Kazuomi Koga and studio Gekkou have given us for these 3 months. What a difference 5 years makes, but for the very worst, and why the decision to remake parts of Season 1 with updated visuals is beyond me. And don't get me started on the music, because it's comical-like circus BGM was the constant white noise that we're all questioning: whose idea was it to add such constraining MIDI-level music on top of just about every scene used that is mind-numbingly jarring? Not even the OST is worth noting, let alone being forgettable and perfectly skippable.
What a sequel Maou-sama, Retry! R a.k.a Demon Lord, Retry! R is, and has become, and will be a permanent reality that we cannot unsee anymore. Stick to the original source materials, LN or manga-wise, and please stay at least an Isekai portal away from this horrid mess of a byproduct of a decent and enjoyable prequel.

DO NOT WATCH EPISODES 1 AND 2 ! Please, PLEASE, I beg you. If you want to enjoy this season at all. Please skip episodes one and two. It is true that Demon Lord, Retry! R is done by a completely different animation studio and has mostly different voice actors from the original Demon Lord, Retry. It is also true that that Demon Lord, Retry! R adapts the manga, where the original season of Demon Lord Retry adapted the novel, two noticeably different interpretations of the story. However these differences do not make Demon Lord, Retry! R unwatchable. It is instead the first and second episodes ofDemon Lord, Retry! R that have caused most viewers to drop Demon Lord, Retry! R and completely give up on the series all together.
While the rest of Demon Lord, Retry! R falls far short of the first season, the first two episodes are significantly worse in quality and writing than the rest of the season. It feels as if the first two episodes were a job forced onto a group of interns that had no knowledge of the series and no love for the characters, not to mention a complete lack of artistic skill or talent. Put simply the first two episodes of Demon Lord, Retry! R are nothing more than recaps of some points of the first season. But instead of properly recapping what happened before, they make a mockery of the beloved first season by redoing the previous scenes in childish lazy and unskilled artwork and blatantly changing the dialogue from the first season to parody versions that change the tone of main characters and besmirch their core values and tenants.
Trust me, please just start from episode 3 and pretend the first two do not exist. For fans or knowledgeable viewers, skipping episodes 1 and 2 will preserve your happy memories of the first season, manga, or novel, and you will already have all the knowledge you need to continue onward. For those with no knowledge of the first season or source material, you do not need the recap episodes because the plotline of the second season starts on an entirely different continent and all necessary information on the characters or situation will be filled in during the following episodes in flashbacks. For season two, episodes 3 onward can stand on their own. Please watch them and enjoy the season for what it is. Thank you.

Maou-sama, Retry! R Alright, buckle up because I binged both seasons of Maou-sama, Retry! Boy, do I have thoughts. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: this anime feels like Overlord went on a shopping spree at the dollar store. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just... familiar. Like, familiar. The whole "overpowered dude stuck in a game-like world" trope is plastered all over it. But hey, let’s talk about the one shining light in this otherwise dim hallway—the main character. Despite being ridiculously overpowered, he’s got this amusing charm in how he tries to stay “in character.” Picture a guy who’s a walking apocalypse butstill worries about his role-playing skills. It’s like watching someone balance world domination and a D&D session simultaneously. His deadpan humor and how he handles situations are the main reasons I stuck around.
Now, let’s address the harem and supporting cast. If you’ve seen any fantasy anime in the last decade, you already know these characters. They’re as predictable as the sunrise. Cute girls? Check. Loyal sidekicks? Check. Villains with no real presence? Double check. We’re two seasons deep, and we still don’t know who the big bad is supposed to be. It’s like a mystery novel where they forgot to write the ending.
Pacing-wise, watching this series in one go was like trying to follow a drunk tour guide. The plot is there... somewhere... but good luck finding it. It’s like they’re hiding the story behind a curtain labeled “Maybe Next Season.”
So, should you watch it? if you’ve got nothing else on your plate and you’re in the mood for something that doesn’t take itself too seriously, go for it. It’s got some fun, light moments, but don’t expect it to blow your mind. This isn’t Attack on Titan—it’s more like Attack on Time Filler.
Season 2? Yeah, it felt like a giant detour. It’s like they had some plot points to hit but decided to take the scenic route. There’s hope it picks up in the next season, but until then, it’s more of a casual watch. Grab some popcorn, turn off your brain, and enjoy the ride for what it is—an okay anime with some laughs along the way.

I liked Season 1, I wouldn't watch Season 2 if I didn't, I wanted more of the same and to some extent I got it, but it wasn't exactly the same. First as everyone else points out, there is a drop in the animation quality, second, Luna gets more focus in the series (I didn't mind this) however almost all of the old cast from Season 1 have been left behind besides Luna. I feel the series also mocked me as we got Yukikaze best 'girl' back for all of 5 seconds and then was quickly ditched. For me the biggest issue is the absolutely terrible pacing,what was the point of wasting time recapping the past events in the first episode when it then blasts its way through everything else, jumping from place to place, as it rushes to the end
Honestly I don't expect brilliance from this series, I watch it for the ridiculous over the top nature it has, the MC's sass, and the dynamics that exists between him and the other supporting characters,
Season 1 had so much, Season 2 in comparison is just lacking, it's still enjoyable, but it's definitely fallen in quality and has way more issues now.

Unfathomably poor. The story has no direction and everything feels random. Fight scenes are below mediocre. Character designs from s1 were butchered thoroughly. There was never any explanation for the power system to begin with and this season made it worse. The flashbacks were more confusing than anything and added nothing to the overall story. What a steaming pile of garbage. The world has potential to be pretty watchable but goodness, it's lik everything is wrong with this. First two episodes were bad recaps. Then on, the anime never fixates on a single topic, moving around introducing characters who are never explored in depth. Thereare some wierd fan service moments. Really not worth anyone's time.

This is an all-time bed shitting of an established franchise on the level of Shin Tenchi Muyo and High School DxD Hero. That is not an insult I make lightly. I hope the author got a good payday for it, because it's the last fat anime check he's ever going to see. The Bad: -EVERYONE looks wrong. Hakuto looks like's aged 10 years, most of the women look like completely different people. How hard is it to copy/paste a character design in the age of digital animation? This is college geometry, hire one math geek for quality control. No one looks like they did in thefirst season or the LN. The director must be a woke asshole because none of the women are permitted to have any sex appeal either while Zero looks like gay fapbait out of Jojo.
-Season 1 ends on a cliffhanger, so how does this open? With TWO useless episodes focusing on Hakuto's old life and shitty recaps. I was completely confused, wondering if this was supposed to be a similar, but different, timeline from the first season. At least that would be a storyline reason for everyone to look like different people.
-The entire series was put together by someone with no understanding of comedic timing. There are germs of some funny slapstick gags in here, yet every one seems to be done in a way to ensure it produces groans instead of chuckles.
-The BGM is horribly out of place. Everything is bombastic and over-the-top, in a bad way. It's the kind of crazy music that would work in a 16-bit RPG where sight gags are done with a few simple sprite changes, text and your imagination. It's actually distracting.
-Everyone breaks out super high level super moves and you are not given the context to understand how powerful they are supposed to be or how abnormal it is for someone to be able to use them.
-These are just the most egregious things off the top of my head. This doesn't deserve dedicating 2 or 3 hours of my life to its other failings.
The "Good":
-Akane was not removed for being physically attractive and fun. Like potato chips, she's great comfort food for me in small doses, but I can see why low T guys wouldn't like her.
-The voice cast came back and really fucking tried.
-Tahara thinking everything that lines up for Hakuto by coincidence is part of a master plan he can't see is a running gag I enjoy.
-It's over and it can't hurt me anymore.
-It's not AS bad as FLCL, if I'm really reaching for a positive.

Maou-sama, Retry! R, promoted as the sequel of Maou-sama, Retry! But is that really is? I mean there are a lot of thing that are still "continueable" from season 1 but in Maou-sama, Retry! R, they seems to just fade away. They instead introducing a lot, i mean A LOT of new plot and stories in Maou-sama, Retry! R, most of them even still a cliffhanger. First of all, a lot of character even the key character from season 1 namely Aku, Ebifry Butterfly, Tron, Queen Killer, and White Angel are hardly seen in this season. It's just like they dump away these character like they're neverexisted before. On the other hand, a lot, again i mean A LOT of new character got introduced. Some of them even doesn't look like have the real purpose in Maou-sama, Retry! R as they are seems to not having connection with Kunai Hakuto, the MC.
Secondly, it seems they use different design of characters because in this Maou-sama, Retry! R they look more cartoonish. I mean, c'mon, where is our badass Kunai Hakuto? In Maou-sama, Retry!, he look cool, badass, and dangerous but in Maou-sama, Retry! R, he seems like fat ass uncle wearing a suit. Also, what the hell is that drastic personality change? In Maou-sama, Retry!, he indeed play his role as a "Maou" but in Maou-sama, Retry! R, he seems like comedian rather than "Maou". Usually, i don't mind a change in design but this one is a big no no. Only the girls seems more cute that are positive from this design change (at least what i think) .
Next, we got the bgm and each character's line. Did whoever responsible as an editor of Maou-sama, Retry! R got ear damage or something? The music is too loud, some even overshadowing character's line. The choice is also off. They put comical bgm where they are not supposed to be. Not forget to mention, a few characters have too much line. Some of them even speak like a rapper. It's like whoever wrote each character's line just shoving every single of their idea onto the final script.
Lastly, they seem to add a revamp version of the season 1 as a recap in the first two episodes with slightly altered story and more cartoonish design. I don't think that's even required. I mean, most of the story in Maou-sama, Retry! R is NOT even a continuation from Maou-sama, Retry! so why are you bother making a revamp for something that doesn't even matter.
Conclusion, Maou-sama, Retry! R is badly designed from almost every aspect. They put TOO MUCH of EVERYTHING inside it. The only good note worth to mention from this season is the girls design that seems more cute.

It's a mixed bag that leans more on the side of popcorn entertainment if you’re willing to overlook some glaring flaws. For starters, skip the first two episodes entirely—they’re a poorly done recap of season one and add nothing of value. The drastic shift in art style is initially jarring, with a more cartoonish design that may throw off returning viewers. The original art style's take on female characters in particular is far superior with them having an air of maturity while also having room to be silly. However, once you get accustomed to it, it can be enjoyed (although I never got used tothe MC's white cartoon face in scenes). Their interactions within the setting remain a highlight, and I found myself quite engrossed in the direction the plot was going. While it’s not groundbreaking and lacks the polish of stronger titles in the genre, the show succeeds in delivering casual fun for fans of isekai.
Beneath its cartoonish looks, the series tackles surprisingly “taboo” topics like rape, torture, and murder, setting it apart from fluffier peers in the same space. While this maturity doesn’t elevate it anywhere near to must-watch status, it does add a layer of depth that complements its darker themes. If anything, the show can be darker in season 2 than in season 1. Despite that, the show is best enjoyed as light, popcorn entertainment—perfect for when you want something fun but not overly demanding. Fans of the first season (like myself) will likely appreciate revisiting this world, but it’s not one you’ll find yourself rewatching unless a sequel materializes. Ultimately, Maou-sama, Retry! R delivers a decent continuation, as long as you temper your expectations.
TLDR: If you enjoy overlord-style nation-building with the cast of characters there, then you may enjoy this. Just don't look too deep.

Okay I finally get around to watching Demon Lord Retry R. At first I'm confused. I notice changes in characters and artwork. And then I discover it's due to scheduling issues. But why chart the artwork!!! And personalities of characters half way through the story 😡. Your changing not only the high standard the 1st season upheld but you change it so it's pretty much an altered reality of demon lord retry and ruin all the hard work from the 1st season! I loved rewatching the 1st season over and over! Now I can't even look at it! If you wanted stay true to the first season thenwait if you can't get the scheduling sorted.... The fans will wait if its worth it.
Now they've butchered it!
For all those explaining season 2 Demon Lord Retry R as a good isekai and good artwork and story. It'd be good if they called it Demon lord retry Alt as in altered reality. That'd be the only reason to explain the mistake they made.
What mistake changing it half way through!!!!
It's like reading or watching a movie you excited for then half way through said movie/book they change it so it contradicts the 1st half or it turns into a different genre still changes good characters bad and so on. It just happens without much care or thought!

Cons The main character's face resembles that of an addict or a dried orange. The animation quality is notably poor. Some character designs are unattractive. The series includes content that lacks coherence. A significant concern is the unsettling treatment of women, with elements such as suggestive rape and graphic violence, which overshadow the user-friendly tone of Season 1. The explicit depiction of crucifixion may offend Christian viewers. Many characters remain underdeveloped, with older characters largely absent. ProsThe story rates a 6/10—mediocre but acceptable.
Some fanservice is enjoyable, provided it doesn't harm women.
The redesigns of female characters are more vibrant and appealing.
Basic Overview
While the series has notable flaws, particularly in character treatment and animation quality, it offers a story that some viewers may find acceptable. Improvements in character design and selective fanservice provide a silver lining amidst the criticisms.
UsanBergling
Quick review here; The first big change we see must be how different the animation style is. And personally, I think it's way wosre than what we had in the first season. It might be a lot smoother, but the amount of details we lost because of it, is bigger than what we got. Not to mention how different some characters look in the second season. Talking about the story, it ain't better. I know the fact very well, this anime never had such an interesting and mind blowing story, but with our cynical "protagonist" with his more realistic thinking, it made this show into agreat series to binge watch from time to time. However, they've commited the cardinal sin: he got a bit more bubbly personality. They tried to keep his wannabe gangster image, but now it just feels rude.
Overall: don't watch it, even if you liked the first season.
Turtezin
I actually liked Season 1. The art style was unique compared to most shows, and while the story was shallow, it still managed to be somewhat engaging. Then Season 2 dropped… and it feels like the studio completely misunderstood what made the first one enjoyable. Maybe because there are a lot of female characters, they assumed this should turn into some ecchi-romance fanservice anime—but it just doesn't fit. The art style feels like a downgrade, the story is even more shallow and uninteresting, and the whole thing comes across as a cash grab. It doesn’t feel like something made with passion—more like something made because theyhad to.
Overall, I can’t recommend this anime. It’s a massive downgrade in every way, and to be honest, it’s pure garbage compared to the first season.
BadDecisionFan
This isn't horrible, but it is filled with a lot of strange decisions starting with the production planning. First off, this both is and isn't a sequel to season 1. They spend the first 3 episodes recapping some events from S1 in the new (much more generic) art style. There are bits and pieces added in that I've been informed are part of the manga. Going from there it's treated like a normal second season. I'd question the choice of opening with a 3 epidlsode recap, but whatever. It was bad and it happened. So anyway, keeping in mind that this is now a very slim 9episode anime, what does it offer?
Unfortunately not much.
The first season felt like a fun idea that could be taken somewhere interesting if someone gave then a higher budget. Based on the final product here I can only assume someone decided to pay a prank by doing the opposite.
The art style is simplified to the point that every character basically has the same face. The writing is no better or worse than S1, but those 3 lost episodes really hurt the pacing. By the end of the final episode it sort of feels like nothing happened.
TLDR: Don't bother with this unless you really loved season 1 and are outright desperate for even a drop of more content. It won't retroactively make S1 worse, but it's far from worth your time.
