Yuusha, Yamemasu

When Demon Queen Echidna begins her invasion of the human realm, the people turn to the hero Leo Demonheart to protect them. Blessed with insurmountable power, Leo easily repels Echidna's army, thereby saving the world. But instead of gratitude or admiration, Leo is met with disdain and scorn from his fellow humans, who fear his overwhelming strength and believe that it may eventually cause humanity's demise.

Banished from the kingdom he once called home, Leo wanders aimlessly throughout the land until, one day, he hears rumors of Echidna's efforts to rebuild her army. Hoping that demonkind might accept him as an ally, he returns to the demon queen's castle and offers Echidna his help.

Naturally, Echidna immediately rejects him. Still, not all hope is lost, as Leo manages to convince Echidna's four generals to let him secretly work under their supervision. Donning the identity of a masked dark knight named Onyx, Leo solves the demon army's problems one by one—gradually improving the quality of life around the castle. Above all else, however, Leo wants to accomplish one goal: to learn why Echidna started the war in the first place.

This is one of the only isekai/fantasy anime where I generally remember what happened, despite watching it a long time ago. It has a slow start, while also seeming goofy and cliche in the beginning. However, by the end I have found that they really put a lot of thought into the story. It's interesting, original and cohesive.

The characters aren't great, but the more you learn about the main character the more interesting it gets. The animation is passable. The setting is kind of boring. A lot of parts in the show were just too cliche for anime. However, it's all counteracted by how well ... the story comes together in the end.

Also, although it's not as egregious as other anime, I have to give an obligatory -1 for stupid loli gags.

Mixed Feelings

This anime is more about being a good company employee. Aka a company drone.

While the context is about demon and so on, the MC (but not the whole cast) is a typical person who suffers from a mental illness knows as workaholic.

However, since this is a fictive work, of course the MC shows 0% issues of why workaholism is a mental illness. Well, at least not directly.

So what does indirectly mean?

1: lack of self ASIDE from "I want to be recognised by boss and make my company the best" that on it's own is of course, not an issue, but the idea is that ... this is the only exception, nothing else.

2: While in the anime, the MC organize things to work as best as possible, if you where to ignore that the author intentionally made things to work out, you essentially have someone who constantly manipulate others in order to make them the increase their value as a company drone. Aka tons of anime have demon army and how to manage them. But they all have their ups and down, this anime? MC is trying to make everyone a company drone, while ignoring how those people are

3: A even more indirect indirect thing: Everyone is seen as a company drone or an inefficient company drone. This can been even better understood if, except for special instances (like monster who fly), you replace the "monster" you see with a human. Aka all non main characters are humans but look like monster, and when I say humans I actually mean company employees. Yep, this is the idea, almost non stop, everyone is simple company employees who look like monster but are no different from humans who are working for a company

4: Story is a massive lecture or training on how to be a better employee, manager, HR, and so on....

5: While the anime is not bad, it definitely is not good exactly because anything that could be good, are dismissed by MC exactly because they are not needed for a company to work, as such everyone needs to chill and think how to contribute better to the company called demon army.

At least it gives a good example how a good employee trainer should be. Even if in real life this isn't possible, heck the best part of the anime is when the non MC characters show how unrealistic and closed minded a workaholic's "plan" (manipulation strategies) are

The show has a great plot/story to tell but it's heavily ruined by a bad writing. There are so many things that could have been written better and to add up with how the characters feels so bland. When I try to find it from a comedy side, there is not a single joke that's funny. I also tried to be positive that maybe, MAYBE the fight scene would be good but, NO. For the animation and art, it's below average. I found myself quite often multi tasking while trying to finish this show because it come to the point that "why you feels the ... need to write this scene? What does it contribute to?". There are like so many scene that are being tell at the wrong time as if it trying to give "hint" to the audience. This is one of the show that is trying so hard to be great but failed at it miserably.
IMO, there's no reason for you to watch this, so I wouldn't recommend it.
