Shinmai Maou no Testament: Toujou Basara no Hard Sweet na Nichijou

I find it hilarious how the best episode is literally a hentai episode.
For once, they got rid of all that generic demon plot bullshit mixed with unnecessary drama and focused on the slice-of-life aspect the series attempted to have. Because of that, this episode was much more enjoyable than I had anticipated. For once, there was consensual sexual tension instead of being enslaved by jealousy or the idea of betrayal.
This OVA also focused on Maria, which is good because she's the show's lifeblood; without her, this anime would fall into obscurity.

Lastly, if you're going to watch this series, I'd suggest watching this episode ... as it's the least cringe-worthy of them all which is saying A LOT.
Sadly, you'll have to watch the previous series for context purposes. Good luck with that.

There is no plot in this one since it's just an OVA. So the whole point is for the ecchi/erotic scene to be honest.

The first part is the same generic ecchi slapstick, not worth mention because it's just the same daily interaction with the MC and the main heroines.

The best part is gotta be the second half, the school teacher. That scene alone carries this whole series/franchise, the voice acting is also very good, 11/10 would watch it again ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

That's all in it, I can't elaborate more but I had to write something to fill up the quota for this review lol.

So yeah... I just watched Toujou Basara no Hard Sweet na Nichijou—another one of those Shinmai Maou OVAs—and let me just say: they knew what we were here for.

Right off the bat, this one doesn’t even pretend to be subtle. It leans straight into the ecchi madness, and honestly? I was here for it. If you're a fan of that “crossing-the-line-but-still-somehow-legal” kind of chaos, this one delivers. The fan service is on full blast, the scenarios are wild (and kind of ridiculous), and I caught myself laughing more than once—not from comedy, but from sheer “I can’t believe they went there” energy.

The fight scenes? Not ... a ton, but what’s there is actually not bad. Shinmai has always surprised me with how decent the action can be when it actually shows up, and this OVA keeps that trend going. It’s short, but it packs in just enough sword-slashing magic stuff to break up the “training” sessions... if you get what I mean.

Now, like with the other entries, some of the dialogue just didn’t hold me. I ended up skipping through a few chunks, especially when it felt like they were dragging out convos just to set up the next ecchi moment. I mean, I get it—it’s part of the charm—but yeah, I definitely fast-forwarded to the good bits a couple of times.

It’s a guilty pleasure, plain and simple. If you're into ecchi and you’ve been following Basara and the gang this far, this OVA is just more sweet chaos for your collection.
