Helck

The characters are funny, the plot is great, it gets pretty emotional, you'll understand why this buff human dude Helck is fighting to become a demon lord but stuff happens. You've gotta watch it. I liked it.

I don't want to spoil anything, it's funny, it might seem weird the design of the characters I suppose. I don't know. But, the mc is certainly op you'll find out, the backstory of Helck is very interesting. I often empathize with Helck and it can certainly seem troubling a lot of the times when I'm contemplating Helck's upbringing. The positivity is refreshing and the lack for vengeance was very interesting. Very wholesome big guy.

An anime for real Men and demon lovers, we have helck the hero a man who looks like an 80s character and is here to save the demon race.

Comedy anime slowly begins to become a good adventure and fantasy show it's weird, but it works and the main characters dynamic with the firewoman is so fun to see. The anime is one of those where we have insane tone shift, where it feels like we're totally different show when it comes to the horror torture blood comedy. It's it is weird.

Her uptight personalities slowly getting destroyed by helck personality, you can feel the fragments of her panties is slowly getting destroyed by helck.

Show looks fine. There is not anything bad to say about it. It's just very competent.

The demons are so charming friendly and just nice people and seeing the fire ladies contrast with helck. Just makes it all the more funnier.

Entertainment wise I kind of binge watched it in two days because I could not stop, it was addicting to watch and was interesting, so that says how I feel about the show.

I enjoyed the show but ended on a cliffhanger so really hope there's a season too so I can put my rating up.

Helck is a fine enough story. There isn't really anything brilliant or ground breaking about the story. It's just good enough. The problem is that stories like these require presentation - direction, soundtrack, charisma. Because if they're executed well, then any story can be elevated to be entertaining. Helck lacks that. The studio hasn't exactly adapted helck in the way it could've. Or at least that's my guess after seeing the manga rating (8.2) and the anime rating (7.2).

That being said I did enjoy Helck enough to add season 2 to my watchlist (I'm assuming there will be one because season 1 will be meaningless without it).

The best part about helck is the dynamic between the characters - Helck and Vamirio - Seeing Vamirio slowly understand Helck and make decisions about what action to take and what not to. The storytelling also was smart enough till the 2nd part began. The humour was also very good and I wish there would've been more of it.

Mainly the problems with Helck lie in the 2nd part. There isn't really anything bad about it, it just lost my interest. There's a flashback arc that just drags for too long and stops the momentum for a few episodes. During the first part, I was actually looking forward to the flashback arc because of the interesting way the plot was set up. But when I got it, I was just let down. The answers were bland. They lacked any sort of originality or spark. The "villain" is just so boring. The only thing the anime establishes is that he's strong and creepy. Other than that there isn't any sort of motivation for me to get behind him. That makes it a lot harder for me to care about this battle.

I really don't know if it's because the manga itself is this way, or if it's because of studio Satelight.

I do hope season 2 redeems the second part of season 1. But my expectations are pretty low now. All I care about are these main characters, as most of them are very likeable. Other than that the story is somewhat of a letdown.
