Akuma-kun

Okay so, this is my first review for anything but like, I haven't watched anime in soooooo long. It's been like, two years. I wanted to get back into it and honestly, this was the perfect way to do that. This is just an amazing 1 season anime of demon hunting. I'm all for that. I actually can't wait for the second season. Anyways. Let's get onto the rating of the overall show. I gave it a nine, which is honestly surprising given how low I rated some of the episodes. I mean like, the 3rd to last episode I have a two stars put there TWO STARS. And I still have the whole anime 9 out of 10. Like actually, the last two episodes saved the whole show. It really wrapped everything together perfectly. And like the heading says, I cried, and I don't care that I cried. This show deserves a good cry at the end. I would give spoilers but I'll probs do that somewhere else. Please go watch this show, just get to the end of it, it's def worth it. I also read a review saying that no girls watch this show.... o/ hi. I am a female and I watched the entire thing. So... You're wrong to whoever said that. And not every girl got killed off, honestly, most of the episodes were about men, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching them get killed. I hope this review convinced you to go watch the show. <3.

An updated and considerably more gritty take on the same mythos.

Sett about 30 years after the previous anime This Akuma kun is one third L (from death note) one third Sheldon Cooper (From Big Bang Theory) and one third Sherlock (from the BBC series) and is the adopted son of the second Akuma Kun who pops in when needed, having barely aged a day, owing to time running differently in the demon world.

Ichiro Umoregi being a genius, a sociopath and who has seemingly rejected most of the twelve except for Mephisto's jnr.'s son (Mephisto 111) replacing his father who is now living as a human and happily married. As well as some regular appearance from Hyakume and Komori-Neko during the credit scenes.

Gremory makes a startling return in various forms and the stories are introduce a wealth of new characters to replace old favourites like the Umoregi family.

Both funny and spooky, with far more underlying threat than its predecessor, better art work (especially the backgrounds) and fun character development I give this a strong 8/10.
