    mature and realistic world in anime

    I have to say i love the maturity of the content. It is not another typical emotional thriller kawaii no-brainer anime but it touches the worldly macro and micro economics, world development, military views, human values and so on. This anime delivers the evolution of a nation in a smart way and in perspective that you would never thought. This could be a story based on the historical events in Europe and potatoes. I am surprised to see the intellectual depth of the anime.

    Sharp and piquant at times; but heart-warming overall

    Talk about judging a book by its cover; or a person by his (or her) race, rank and title!

    A lovely tale of a smart, beautiful and shrewd demon, who looks and behaves every inch like a doting wife! She genuinely cares for the world at large and is brilliant at navigating the politics and subterfuge of corrupt rulers.

    Enter Hero, who is never named but is conveniently overpowered and a tad naive. When it comes to ladies; he is used to adoring looks by the opposite sex for his exploits. Suddenly he falls head over heels with his supposed arch foe! He sees beyond her looks and is enthralled by her perspicacity, sagacity, generosity and vision for a better world. Truly a gem of a person! (Watch him risk his life fighting her dark side!)

    Thus begins a heart-warming tale of trust and sacrifice.

    You'll be chucking inwardly at times and feel stirrings of righteous indignation the next!

    Enjoy!

    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.

    This is art

    This series seriously need to be among the bests.still it failed to attract the viewers i dont know why?? I was going through the YouTube and found about this and listening to the story i thought this would be interesting and i found out a masterpiece. This is the story about the war between the humans and demons. How the hero and the demon king deal with the situation to bring peace.this is the story of this.the war consequences,merit,demerit,economics, romance all things are available in there.seriously all characters are well made you will not find a single character who is annoying.the best show of 2013 award would have goes to this G. O. A. T.its a shame this isn't popular as one punch man,spy x family the overrated ones. There is no hope of second season.so i have nothing to say.there goes my heart 💔.

    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.
