Maou-sama, Retry!

The fights are a bit underwhelming but the AMAZING music really makes up for it. gives me chills.

What in the world were they thinking??? Season 1 visuals were so much better. Season 2 looks so childish. Zero with the big bushy eyebrows, Elder Holy Maiden and Killer Queen are unrecognizable and look worse visually and don't match the characters they portrayed in Season 1. Not mention their voices. I was expecting a much better animation not worse. What a disappointment!!! What is the deal with the Demon Lord? He looks older and uglier. He doesn't look ripped as he did in Season 1 that got the Elder Holy Maiden's eyes on him. Zero is also a joke. Looks like a really cartoonish character and not even close to what he was in Season 1. The new voice actors for zero and the maidens sound worse. I really hope they redo this. Did they run out of money??? Season 1 was 10/10 stars. Because of this season 2, I dropped it to a 6.

The first season isn't anything special. It is a pretty dull male power fantasy, and it's pretty sexist. I still enjoyed it better than Overlord, which was unwatchable, but only because the characters were a bit less obnoxious and sycophantic. However, season 2 (R) is utterly pointless. Why on earth did they decide to remake the same series only 2 years later? Moreover, everything from the animation to the humor is worse in season R. I think if they wanted to "retry" making the anime, they should have at least tried to improve on the first season, but the second attempt is worse in every conceivable way, utter trash that would not be worth watching even if it wasn't just the same story again. 5/10 for season 1 but 1/10 for season R.

Demon Lord, Retry! Is pretty decent in my opinion, though it's not a top tier anime if I were to say. It's not amazing but not horrible either. But i personally find it enjoyable and liked it a lot. Some people may hate it and others may like it. So it's really up to you and your personal tastes. Some might not like the animation style either.

Let's just get this out there early, it looks rushed and at times terrible. The animation isn't great, especially during fight scenes. Having said that, if you stick with it, the story and characters are really good, there's some genuinely funny moments and it left me wanting to watch more. I for one hope there's a second series.
