The Misfit of Demon King Academy

It's fun with an OP main character but the pacing is not too fast. But every thing just happens randomly. The villains are powerful at one time and suddenly be beaten totally.

The civilian are against the main character because of nearly no reason at all. (yes there is bit why do they believe in the opposite but not him?) And what the hell is the SS2? Plots just are thrown to a mix of everything. Like whaaaa then whatttt and whhhaaaat??? Nothing is well explained and there are just more and more out of no where info.

And the villains now are forced to be villains, then they just decided to be in hood side because they just know how to fight back? The boss is beaten easily and just jumped to other place then forbid our main to go into it?

The start is cliche after cliche and only about 10% of the content is starting some meaningful plot in the first 3 episodes.

It has potential but the unveiling is very slow.

I think I will go read the light novel before making my mind if this is worth watching further. I rather like the humor.

Demon King Anos Voldigoad had been fighting a war against humanity for two thousand years; in an attempt to create peace he sacrifices his own life. Another two thousand years pass and then he is reincarnated. It is a more peaceful time but not everything has improved; demon royalty now dominates hybrids, so-called misfits of which Anos in now one. He also learns that their magical power has decreased significantly. He attends Demon King Academy as a misfit but quickly realises he is far more powerful than anybody else. Here he makes friends and works to prove he really is the reincarnation of Anos Voldigoad.

This anime series isn't that different from many others, with its hero who is clearly far more powerful than those who wish to defeat him... that said it is still a lot of fun. There is plenty of action which is fun even if the ultimate outcome is of no real doubt. Anos is a solid protagonist and the supporting characters, who join his group, are also fun to watch. The character designs are good as is the animation. Overall I'd say that while this isn't the most original series it is worth watching if you are a fan of the genre.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Animation was decent, but story was very middle. It was fun watching him be op but there were a lot of cliche and a lot of random moments that didn't make sense and was almost comedic. Singing toward the last battles with his fan union were random and came out of nowhere and unnecessary. None of the climactic moments were exciting because they were extremely predictable.

It has to be a satire of the current power fantasy fantasy anime trend. the light novel had authors notes that suggested it was satirical. but by god, the show does not drop the mask. its satire. it has to be satire, because it feels "so bad its good" but there's also some genuinely good things too. the hard magic system is interesting, there's a lot of thought and care put into the world building and lore. I don't think a generic power fantasy would have such a well built world and such good side characters, so it has to be satirical.
