Endro~!

In a world of adventurers and magic lies Naral Island. Every generation, a Demon Lord rises to plague the land, and every generation, a Hero is born to subdue him. For countless centuries, the cycle has repeated with no end in sight. The latest Hero, Juulia "Yusha" Charldetto, has almost completed her valiant campaign alongside her party members: responsible priest Seiran "Seira" Élénoir, enigmatic mage Meiza "Mei" Endust, and hyper-energetic warrior Fai Fai.

In the final battle against the Demon Lord, Yusha's party attempt a risky spell to cast their enemy into the drifts of time. But the incantation goes awry, sending Yusha and her friends back to a time before the Demon Lord, before Yusha becomes the Hero, and before the party had even graduated as adventurers. With their memories of the future erased, the four girls restart their ambitions to become the Hero's Party, aspiring to defeat the Demon Lord.

However, in a sudden twist of fate, the Demon Lord was also sent back in time with her memories intact. Reduced to the form of a little girl, the Demon Lord takes the name Mao and infiltrates the adventurers' school as a teacher, planning to stop Yusha before she becomes a hero. Thus begins the story of Yusha and her friends, in their quest to defeat the Demon Lord, not knowing that the one they seek is right by their side.

Endro~! is D&D ( Dungeons & Dragons ) loli version. I can't overlook that fact. It just feels so relatable. The cliches, the eccentricities, the facetious. This anime feels like it was made by a Dungeon Master with care. Providing the players with the greatest of jubilation.

The show is kawaii. And as I was watching the show, I felt contented. It felt like an adventure brimming of everlasting happiness. An adventure that I will never forget no matter how much I try to forget about it. A group of cute girls trailing the hero-demon lord cliche route with convulsing comedies. This anime was so ... simple yet its simplicity is its brilliance. Endro is truly a hidden gem of winter 2019. I'm quite surprised by its low rating, but I do understand why it is that way.

The ending doesn't hold any power in it - in summary, it was bland. It felt something along the lines of "Oh. So it'll be over that way? ok.". Not really what I wanted after all the laughs and cries I had as I watched this show. But.. doudemo ii.. The show was still very fun and meant a lot to me.

This show is highly recommended for those who enjoy CGDCT. But even if you're not one of those people like me, you could also start the show if you're a fan or have ever played D&D. This show might relate. And lastly, if you want Yuri. There's kind of Yuri inside this show so watch it if you want some Yuri.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t chuckle, heck I couldn’t even smile at the humor.
Usually I’m good with cute girls doing cute things types of anime but this just doesn’t work for me.
I suspect that this is a bad show to go into after watching Nichijou, which is thousands of times better than Endro in my opinion, thus my lack of appreciation.

Story is fair, at least up to where I dropped. The beginning events felt to me as if they just happened just for the sake of it. The demon lord time traveled and the story shifts to the hero’s party. The events that occur just.... ... feel too much like a PowerPoint presentation slideshow, where events come slide after slide. There are multiple time skips in the year just so the “desired” events come onto the screen faster. Also, this story is centered around the 4 girls in the hero party, not the demon lord time traveler exacting revenge, which was quite a disappointment.

The art is fair, not much to say about it. The art style is okay. However, I have this nagging feeling that the art palette for this series just seems a little off. In the end, art is nothing really worth mentioning.

The problem with the sound is that it is easily ignorable. Over the course of the four episodes I watched, I only noticed 3 times where a soundtrack played (disregarding OP and ED). For the rest of the time, I only thought that there was silence. This might be due to the fact that I was very bored and I may zone out but this is still bad. Also, the soundtracks that I heard are nothing to really compliment about.

The characters are, to me, boring. The interactions, to me, are boring. As stated in the beginning, I didn’t have any reaction towards the humor. I could understand it as humorous but not really react to it. The characters themselves just aren’t good in my opinion. Watching them go on and on is quite taxing for me. I don’t want to think more about this subject.

This was tasing to watch. I dragged myself for these 4 episodes, hoping for something good. I think I was trying to cheer myself up after ending Nichijou. I guess I achieved that in a way, since I am now full of disappointment with the fact that I wasted my time with this show. I couldn’t get this show at all.

I was deceived. I thought that this would be a humorous revenge story about the demon lord time traveler stopping heroes before they grow. I was right.... before I was wrong. The demon lord is NOT the main character; that title belongs to the heroes. The demon lord is NOT exacting revenge; she was before she realized its futility. Honestly, I believe this show had wasted a ton of potential going down the path it chose.

Some people may like it. I don’t. Some people may laugh. I didn’t.

In the end, I think I would’ve still rated this show relatively low, even if I wasn’t in this unfortunate watch order.

I won’t recommend this. Though you may find others who do.

Haaaah... Started watching this anime because I like these types of fluffy, silly cute girls doing cute things animes for some breaks after reading some serious stories.

I thought that, hey, 7/10, that's a pretty decent score for an anime like this, must be good enough, right? Usually shows like this rarely get anything but a score below 7/10 even if they're watchable enough.

But no, it's truly amazing how stupid this anime was. It was so stupid that I felt like just dropping it halfway into episode 1. But I gave it a chance and ended up having it on in the background while reading something ... else(you know, one window with a novel and another with the video side by side). Being good at multitasking, I didn't miss much and it would've been hard to miss anything substantial in an anime like this.

I must say that I'm very surprised by how far some people could go in their pathetic attempt to make money from some special audiences. I like cute girls doing cute things animes, but this is another thing altogether. They're no longer cute girls doing cute things, they're morons doing retarded things and acting in obnoxiously cutesy ways, as if trying to rub it in our faces that they're soo cute. It ends up being so overdone that it feels excessively forced instead of somewhat natural. It's clearly that none of the characters in this anime has an IQ above that of a roadside rock, though at least the rock has the decency of not being in your face, instead lying quietly by the side of the road.

The writers of this little brain cell killer masquerading as a proper anime seems to be making a sport out of thinking up the best way in which to make the characters act incredibly stupid and "cute". Things like them sticking out their tongues for no reason, smiling and jumping around, saying stupid shit, acting out and pretending to be cute in excessive ways is standard fare here. They do incredibly illogical and forced things to seem cute, which ends up making them obnoxious instead as it's just too overdone in a way that it feels very unnatural. As if the authors didn't care at all, just trying to throw in whatever stupid idea they thought of at the moment to make them act cute. It's cringeworthy to say the least.

Seriously... Also, can someone tell me how the big monster/demon with a male voice and pretty much male body and face somehow turned into a tiny little loli after being sent back in time? What do you have to do to turn from a loli into that?

Really, things are so damn stupid in this anime. It's not an enjoyable experience to watch it at all. Please don't watch it if you feel like normal cute girls doing cute things anime are kinda overdone and stupid even if they're enjoyable nonetheless, because this is even more overdone and stupid, to the point where I almost found it offensive, it felt as if the creators were trying to taunt me and insult my intelligence by pretending that this is watchable. Truly pathetic how they even released this thing.

But who knows, maybe you just like things that are incredibly moronic and has no sense whatsoever with characters that makes stupid people look like geniuses. Or you're a kid, then go right ahead. It's fully of nonsense that doesn't need any understanding, colorful artwork with hyperactive girls going gyaa gyaa over everything.
