    Underrated

    A heartwarming series full of romance,war,conflict,economy, actions. Dont expect any grand fight still this is one to be reckoned with. This had the ability to become the best in 2013 still i couldn't find any reason why it is so underrated and so low rating.who is that freak to low rate this stunning beauty. This series is based on the war between humans and demons and the aftermaths.the voice artist pour their soul in this series.my new waifu mao sama a kind gentle heart and a dotting partner. The little sister maid is so super cute.the voice artist literally deserve a award for the voice acting. Genuinely fell in love with this at first glance.its a shame there will be no season 2.

    Although the characters were good, it still needed a boast...

    I felt this anime was trying too hard to be one of the best fantasy genre type of animes out there. I mean the characters backgrounds were there to keep us intrigued but there was nothing original about this anime. It concentrated heavily on excessive fan service and the story was trying it's best to hold onto dear life when it was struggling to come up ways to impress me as a viewer. Instead I felt rather sorry for the story being cheaply pathetic.

    To try to add postivity here, the art was pretty nice. Also the demon queen and hero were actually likeable despite their "omg that was fast" relationship. Not saying the romance was bad cause it did work in a way, I would have though rather see it slow paced. Maybe I'm too old fashioned at that lol but whatever, I do recommend watching this anime if you want fanservice added with fantasy!

    Not popular despite a top tier

    This is the story about human and demons.once there a war broke out between humans and demons and how that effects the lives of humans and demons. How the hero and demon king working together to bring peace to this chaos world all this is story about. Dont expect a grand fight.still i assure you, you will not get bored in any episode. The mao sama and the hero relationship add a little flavour to this story like a cherry on the top of the cake. This broke my heart when they left the story in the middle and later i found out that the studio went bankrupt and this show couldn't get the attention it deserved. I was in tears when i found out there will be no second season of this masterpiece.

    Why this series is not famous???

    This is legit a decent series.whether about art style,storyline or character development this series excels in all. This has the same author as log Horizon umezu Daisuke.if you want strategic series,romance,war,conflict go for it without any delay.this series legit stole my heart from episode 1. This is the story of war between human and demon. All merits demerits are well explained here. I am in love with the heroine Mao-sama(Demon king). Her voice artists is literally on another level. Listen once and your wounded heart will cure in seconds.protagonist and the Female Knight voice artists are also top tier. And the younger sister maid is super cute.i have watched many anime series i guarantee you no one can come next to her interms of cuteness. Stole my heart there.and this is shame this series is not that much popular as log horizon.if anyone ask me which series you want to see continue,i would go for maoyu without blinking. This show literally made me fall in love with.they left us on the cliffhanger when it was going to good.the war Between human and demons,how would they settle it and bring peace i would have love to watch this series ending. But i dont see any hope for season 2 as it is not so much popular. Why guys only overrate the ones which are full of fights i guess most of are kids. It pains me seriously overrated show like one punch man,kaguya war is love are among the top tier and this masterpiece is underrated as hell. This is annoying.the author need a praise fr.

    Surprisingly Good

    Based on the super fast paced intro of this story, I wanted to give it at least eight stars. Overall, I really enjoyed this story about managing to solve a conflict without violence. The whole dynamic of none of the character not having real names was also kind of amusing. That being said, I found that the romance really dragged after the first episode due to the main character being so inexperienced. While this does make perfect sense within the story, the first episode gave the impression that it would be doing quite the opposite. It was also frustrating because of the unnecessary drama it caused between the characters. Will they, won't they is a dynamic that has been played out to oblivion, and its answer is even more clear in this case. At least a bit more time could have been spent on the main story without this drama, and I think it would have made this anime far better for it.
