amazing world building and great subtle character building. both foreground and background characters interact seemlessly.

I'm surprised to see such a low score. People give higher grades to absolute shit… Bleach, which I couldn't even watch 5 minutes of for some reason 9, Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! is a literally terrible shit 8.3, Everything else is boring Shonen and romantic with high scores.

It has a pretty good opening, establishing some lore and mechanics of the world. The first couple characters introduced are entertaining, and the premise has a lot of potential. The first episode was mostly just establishing the plot, but so far it has my attention. I really like the premise, I hope it delivers.

Nah, that would be the Guin Saga, this is a spin on classic "Good guys are bad, bad guys are misunderstood". It's obvious from OP and 1st episode alone.



It's an overrated manga turned much too late into an anime. Not bad by any means, just overhyped, and compared to crap this season has, it's in the upper quartile. At least VA is great, and animation is decent.

“I haven’t read this and I will judge it based on the opening and the first episode because I’m pretentious af” yeah ok man, actually the manga is underrated as fuck
A bit pretentious, aren't you yourself? Where did that came from? I read that manga. It would take you a few seconds to check my list. But nooo, you had to spout nonsense to feel better by belittling someone on the internet. Good job.

I remember when people were calling it second
Never read it past the 70th or so chapter, as it got too predictable.

Still keeping my opinion, manga was overhyped by fans, and not known to wider audience. And to repeat myself, IT'S NOT A BAD MANGA. Just not 10/10.

Not knowing this before but i do interested to know what's goin on behind the true motive of Helck joined the demon lord especially since the plot really putting much effort to make it a highlight. Outside he may looks like a happy-go-round person. But look at that sharp and scary eyes he got when focused on something. I already have a doubt with the rumour about him killing his own brother. Mayhaps he's become a scapegoat from some true murderer of his brother at the human realm which led him to truly hate the human and seeking allies instead from the demonkind realm. Tho that is just a dull assumption from me.

About Vamirio i don't have a problem to her. She's perfectly like what i imagine with all her rage lmao. Can't wait to see her getting a real close to Helck and tell more story about him.

Again this is the type of series i need to digging in more and more. Hopefully they serve well and nail on the right spot. Let's see next...

Show has my attention. This season was looking like a drought of interesting things and this may actually provide some interest. Curious to see if it remains light humored or not. Tone pacing is going to determine a lot.

It feels like a lot happend for just a first episode. It also looks to not be as comedy focused as I expected - there clearly is some serious backstory.
But yeah, my attention has been picked.

TBH, not really into this Helck dude.

But I like Vamirio's personality, she seems pretty cute and interesting huh.

.

Also, the suggested plot feels like a massive scale of [Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome desu] when that one necromancer girl turned bunch of regular humans into zombies.

This is one of those seasonal anime that I would've totally disregarded or not even noticed at all. But "Helck" kept showing up in peoples' lists of their favourite anime of the season. Well, now I gotta give it a try. Is it as good as they say?

It was over before I knew it. This show is going to slap. And it's 24 episodes as well?? What an absolute treat.

That was a pretty interesting start, the setting might seem generic at first and with all the comedies things felt light hearted untill that end part. Humans are attacking them and they kinda look like angels?

Liked Vamirio, she's amusing. Really like her character design. She looks like one of those long eared characters from phantasy star online. Elf were they? Helck seems likeable too though he gives of a strange feeling, something's up with him. Also we even have a guy who reads too much into it, Demiurge? The immortal girl is hot.

There were a lot of typical gags, but I greatly enjoyed them. Delightful. I'm a little worried about how they might pull off the seemingly serious plot line of Helck having killed his brother, but I'll be optimistic. I hope that the rest of the series keeps it up.

Vamirio and her attempts to sabotage Helck but him overcoming them was a nice refresher.

It seems they're already hinting at Helck's past which is an interesting choice. If it's done well then it can improve the overall show.

is it in good hands? it's decent nothing spectacular but I'm still keeping an eye on it because I heard it gets really good

I said that before I watched anything past episode 1. After watching the most recent episode, my expectations have dropped considerably. Just read the manga

Animation and character design could be better but the comedy elements are well done.

I'm curious to find out more.
I agree. the animation is quite dull but it does make up for it with character quips and comedy

I'm not a manga reader so I don't know if it looks the way it does because of the manga? But they could have still made it prettier, some of the proportions aren't pleasing to the eye, just my personal nit pick.

If this show had the same animation quality as Undead Girl Murder Farce, there would be way more people watching it for sure.

I read somewhat ahead in the manga and they could have definitely improved on the animation. it's not the manga's fault at all.

I will still watch it tho in hopes of it getting better.

For me, animation is important but not everything. There's some other anime where the animation took some "getting used to" (like Ousama Ranking) and once I got used it, things were okay if the story and characters are interesting.

Glad to hear it's not the manga's fault. Things do get better. But the season is nowhere close to done. This anime, to me, gives the feeling of "OP guy doing OP things = satisfying" the same kind of feeling that I got from watching the more predictable but equally satisfying Mashle last season. Except this one actually has a much more interesting story with more to be revealed as time goes on.

Wondering if Helck cannot have emotion but only forced himself to show the smile toward the demon kin to take their hearts? Tournament idea at the start is boring and the woman so loud almost can't handle from cringe. I don't get what to expect from this onward with all that happening. But really curious about the my question above so i keep watching

this show is pretty funny. at least the first ep so far. pretty mixed on the fire demon girl's personality. not sure if i'll continue finding her loud reactions funny or it'll just get annoying. helck possesses inhumane strength and speed so the fire demon girl turned it into a dexterity contest with that card pyramid game. wasn't expecting him to also be unmatched in that area. though kinda cheated by making all the other contestants' cards fall. <_<

as they said, it's not really cheating as it wasn't mentioned in the rules of the game. plus, after he blew away his surroundings, he managed to stack the cards up in no time flat.

Yeah I was very much surprised by that. Glad someone else noticed lmao
Definitely feel like the show will be at its best when it's utilising and evolving the dynamic between the main 2 and some of the misunderstandings have been pretty funny. 
Agree!  I'm looking forward to see how their relationship evolves, i'm also intrigued in what is really happening in the Humanity side.
Vamirio has a really cool design too! I think i'll like her a lot, in a side note that ending by Saji is such a great song! I've been looping it since i watched the episode, sadly the opening isn't in my alley though.

The first episode of this adaptation was decent. Vamirio looks to be a very fun character once we learn more about her. Helck is a complete mystery to me. Sadly the opening visuals are very weak despite the song being a banger. However, the ending song and visuals are really nice. Slow song and beautiful art is enough to keep me interested
