| I have to say that this reminds me of Idaten (The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace, from 2021). For some reason, I love worlds and stories like this, where different and rival, warring civilizations are at odds; it's chaotic, wild and unpredictable. Brutal events can transpire or terrible grisly misfortune befall certain characters at the drop of a hat, but then at random points there is also plenty of time for downtime and fun nonsense. Somehow it makes everything feel more real and impactful. |

| Animation is getting very rocky. I still like but this animation needs to be better too many profile shots and very boring action shots. Good humor but come on guys you can do better. The writing is still good but this is a step down from episodes 1 and 2. Also....come on demon girl you know the anime rule rushing at the big bad is how you got bodied. Sucks as she was cool. She is pretty much dead. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| I have to be honest This anime's soundtrack is incredible And in other news I WANT TO SEE HELCK FIGHTING AGAISNT HIS OWN RACE DAYUM |
 |
| I like Helck's serious expression when entering a fight and how others got different reactions when he launch his attack to the monster. |
 |
| heh, I can't help but laugh whenever Vermi yells "BAKAAA" LOL. (including flashbacks, lol) . Huh, "New World Monsters".... sounds like some sort of 3rd faction that isn't part of Humans or Demons and attacks both sides. . Welp... rip that demon girl's arm. |

I made a reply in this thread earlier that shows where it was explained in the manga that should have been at the beginning of episode 2.i dont really understand why the 4 demon generals wouldn't attempt to become the demon lord. They have prestige and they also are obviously powerful. Not asking for spoilers. |

I made a reply in this thread earlier that shows where it was explained in the manga that should have been at the beginning of episode 2. Dude you're literally going off a loophole to give me spoilers. You should've just said it was skipped over and that it was explained in the manga. |
| Pacing skill good, tone is done well. Seems to be holding true to the manga. It ended exactly where I thought it was going to end! A bit worried about some upcoming parts being a bit dragged out but we'll see how the anime paces it out. |
| AOTS right here. ๐๐๐๐ |
 |
| Feels like the pacing really slowed down during this episode. Also the focus kinda fully shifted to comedy. The final scene did hint at some potential seriousness though. Hoping for some character building for Helck. |
| . |
| oh man! the show is getting better and better! even the humor...everything! this is really a sleeper hit! 5/5. |
 |
| These episodes go by pretty fast, I’ll probably save up a few before watching because one by one is a bit annoying |
Frosteek said: Yeah, I also thought the journey part was kinda rushed and it left some content compared to the manga (tho I was reading it quite a long time ago to remember all the details)...he more I'm watching this, the less I'm feeling the adaptation. The cut content, the missing extra chapters, the breakneck pace of scenes with no pauses, the flat direction, the narrator stealing characters' lines, the mishandling of tone in some parts, the substandard animation (which at times is becoming more and more reminiscent of Hoshi no Samidare), the nerfed facial expressions, the de-beefed character designs (like on Rubero and the winged sodiers), the ugly and overused effects animation, and (I know it's not the fault of the anime itself but...) the stupid translations. For the most part, everything essential is getting adapted, but all the problems combined slowly shave away at the soul of the manga. It will, of course, still be good, but it doesn't succeed as an adaptation as there isn't a single reason not to read the manga instead at this point. But on the other hand, when it is going to be packed inside of 24 eps something had to be omitted... I hope overall it will be fine.. Let's see :) btw. I see lots of people here call the main heroine "Vermillio".. but in manga it is clearly "Vamirio".. as well as in the localization I'm watching.. So, perhaps bad translation in some regions? |
Nasif_ said: Demon Lord is a title that is below Four Heavenly Kings, of whom Vermilio is one. So, becoming a Demon Lord is like becoming a mayor and Vermilio is already "lording" over one fifth of the demon empire, in a way.I like it! I wonder if Anne ends up killing the leader and becomes the demon lord. That brings me to why isn't Vermillio or Azurda or the other 2 going for Demon Lord? |
| This is getting interesting now, it makes me wonder what Helck's real motive for becoming a Demon Lord is, since he seemed to be familiar with the New-World Lifeforms. |
| Yeah I need to wait until at least a few episodes have aired so I can binge them at once. Watching just one episode feels like it's over as soon as it starts Helck is the strongest anime character, hands down. I too hate eggplant, and yet he made a dish with eggplant that even the most hot-headed tsundere enjoyed. That is the definition of overpowered |

| Its nice to see their little trip together over reaching Urum Castle, especially since those easily found out Vermy-chan disguise and look how that's all of their respond xd. But i heard source contain better to depict their fun interaction there? Oh well too bad then! I guess nothing perfect, a more solid establishment is all Helck needs. Not that kind of solid here tho i can say its decent. So let's see if the next fight against the winged leader army contain more of the solid ground than some of the few episodes here and before... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Wonder how many of Helck's meals it'll take for Verm to finally be swayed. Imagining how beans would taste with the aftertaste of a chocolate bar is kinda nasty ngl. |
| For someone trying to keep her identity a secret, Vamirio isn't doing a good job at all. But her reactions are absolutely hilarious! I really enjoy seeing how Hyura tends to overthink everything, while the other contestants are just relaxed and going with the flow. Then there's this dude Helck, who effortlessly kicked that monster as if it were nothing and struck a cool pose after 'Anne' mentioned its strength. But things got serious when the leader of the winged knights took out Hyura's arm. Now, I'm curious to see how Helck will handle the situation moving forward. |
| Production issues might be there, but this is plain hilarious to me. Though that's not all, I mean every episode we do get one or two things which if anything, make Helck a mystery in itself. Liked how Vermilio isn't even trying to keep her guise in place lol. Goes without saying someone would recognize her true identity which that demon girl did, though talking about that demon girl, that was brutal in the end. |

| The moment of truth, let's see what happens. |

Dear god every comment I read by you the more insufferable you seemIf someone's seen Sanji's backstory in the One Piece anime, it's not a spoiler to tell them that Zeff ate his own leg in the manga. I'm not giving you information early that's going to be revealed later, I'm telling you of a change the adaptation made to a part you've already seen. Peenutz said: Triggerfish124 said: So this isn’t spoilers but I’m pretty sure it’s mentioned in the manga, I don’t remember if anime skipped it or not, but their is a hierarchy, demon lord is more of a figure head and the heavenly kings are above them in terms of power and influenceGood episode. Finally get to see the angels in action. kinda seems like the boss is the only overpowered angel though. Kenros kinda an idiot for not bringing a weapon lmao Honestly at this point its pretty easy to rank the characters in strength 1. Helck 2. Vermilio 3. Hyura 4. Kenros 5. Dorshe i dont really understand why the 4 demon generals wouldn't attempt to become the demon lord. They have prestige and they also are obviously powerful. Not asking for spoilers. Peenutz... you literally replied to someone with the exact same reply Frosteek gave on the manga explanation... and saying it's not spoiler, but then criticize Frosteek for giving that same spoiler even tho it really isn't. But Triggerfish thinks it is. You shouldn't have criticized Frosteek if you were giving the exact same answer. |

Peenutz said: Mother of... Are you all seeing this? 'Cause I'm seeing this. A quote form a previous comment, if you will: "...every comment I read by you..." read... read huh? Interesting. What's this next part over here?: "I didn’t read their comment lol" Oh, wow. Alright then. A guy who made a reply criticizing what I said literally didn't read what I said, despite directly claiming to. What's more, he went on to say the exact same thing as me, including the insistence that it wasn't a spoiler. He whiteknighted Triggerfish without realizing he actually disagreed with Triggerfish, despite all the necessary information to understand being available. This is truly an internet moment.amlg said: I didn’t read their comment lol.

| Absolutely loving this show's characters and scenarios. I am already getting plenty of laughs out of them and the shows feel overall a breath of fresh air. Also I love all the battle Shonen nods. :) |

Hopefully that's not a sign of a struggling production and they're just saving their efforts for more meaningful fights to come, as I'm thoroughly engaged with this show for the most part. Nah according to a very reliable leaker the show has already finished production for all 24 episodes which is very surprising and impressive. But at the same time if they finished that early I wish they took time to go back and make the episodes even better.

| The finale of the Demon Lord qualification match: retake Castle Urum and defeat the winged knights. Asta out on her investigations whilst Vermilio (as Anne) is out with Helck and the other finalist competitors, Dorshe needs to put up a barrier, though it needs 30 minutes to put up is just insanity. A rest area for everyone to rest, though Hyura has an inkling that Anne is Vermilio (which she's right) and is just being a cover to seek on Helck. Anything he does, from cooking to heroic skills is just showing off the best of him, though the concern is on the winged knights if they choose to cut their manpower and aim straight for the castle instead. The New-World Lifeforms are monsters on another level made from the land's toxins, which Helck can just deal with it with a single kick and his short sword, though this is more than just a coincidence that the human realm has them too. Into Castle Urum through a secret tunnel, the finalists are left to fend for themselves, though Hyura isn't so confident that she can win over Kenros, Dorsche and especially, Helck. Indeed, Azudra met Helck much earlier before all of this in Castle Thor, but if he tried to duel with him at the moment, he would end up dead than alive now. Being seen from the unknown winged knights, this is Vermilio's chance to see Helck fight, especially with Hyura beign taken down in a fast hand from its leader. How would the human-disliking-humans hero act? |
