| Helck is like a wonder of this world. That strength is truly no joke and the amount of charisma he displays is in sane. While I do admit the story feels kinda loose at the moment, it's keeping my entertained in terms of character personalities. Helck in particular has no fear. |
 |
| Helck's gonna destroy them. |
| That cliffhanger was so annoying I might just reread the manga. |
| The 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. |
| I must say I loved so much these five working together as a somewhat functional -but mostly dysfunctional- group towards their goal: they're all pretty quirky in their own way, and it reminded me a lot of something like Konosuba! I particulary love that chocolate-obsessed big guy haha! We also got our weekly dose of 'Bakaaa' :) And what a cliffhanger once more! Next week can't come soon enough! |
| Vermilio and Hyura often pondered why they were the sole individuals who seemed to take matters seriously. Perhaps now, with the abrupt loss of Hyura's arm, others would finally understand the gravity of the situation. The demon realm was undoubtedly harsh. Living outside protected zones was perilous, with monstrous creatures emerging from the blighted lands, and occasionally, extraordinarily powerful ones surfaced. Adding to the misery, an unknown enemy relentlessly attacked them, leaving them clueless about the motives behind these assaults. Without a doubt, it was an utterly dreadful place to exist. Now that Hyura’s down for the cut, the team must quickly regroup and improve their performance. Otherwise, their fate seems dire. |
 |
| Damn this episode ended after a few blinks. Looks like we will see the first serious fight from Helck. |
| With Helck liking to be shirtless and like cooking. I want a big challenge for him, cooking bacon shirtless. |
 |
| Great episode as always but I hate they left us off on a cliffhanger. we really saw how dangerous the demon realm is outside of the protected areas. Everyone besides Vermelio and Hyura took it as a joke until that new world monster showed up, but this world is pretty dangerous. Hopefully we learn who these knights are and what they’re doing in the demon realm next week. |

| Noooooooo, why did the show end so fast just when things were getting interesting! |

Helck looks very angry after he cut her hand And I'm really Liking this but this episode was a loong journey.... Wish they'd have put more action in it. |

| I really like Vermilio and her "bakas", also she's fiery (literally) and her expressions continue to be comedy gold. It does suck that Hyura lost an arm but I'm hoping that one of the characters (guessing the big chocolate loving guy) will be able to heal her after the fight. I wonder who this mysterious knight leader is and I'm very curious to watch how this plays out, and yes this episode went by pretty fast. |
| Dammit, now wait 1 week for what's actually hype-worthy. |
| Helck and the rest of the competitors made it to Castle Urum along with Vermilio/Anne. Those winged knights that took over the castle are pretty strong as they already took out Hyura. |
 |
| Looks like they've finally made it to where they need to be. Helk showing that he can deal with any kind of monster. This leader knight seems like they could be a problem, but maybe not for Helk! |

| Damn, the animation and storyboarding when Helck was fighting the New World monster was actually awful, as was the monster's sound design. 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. |
| I see this show on the same ballpark as last season's Mashle, an action comedy that sucks at the action part but makes it up in the comedy part. Welp, Helck just doesn't have the comedy values that Mashle did and there's not a single character I feel it's endearing or actually funny (heck, the sword gag was so poorly executed, Mahoujin Guru Guru did this same joke 100 times better). I'll watch a few more episodes in hope that at least the storyline makes up for the lackluster action and comedy, given that it's marked as 24 episodes, so there might be room for improvement. |

| This show has me so intrigued and engaged, all the characters are lovable dummies, Hyura got too cocky and it ended right at the best moment! |

| eh i guess vamirio improved a bit, still feel underwhelmed though. oh i hit 3k posts, yay. |
 |
| Vermillio continues to get pissed off and the blue girl caught on her disguise but has now lost an arm. Comedic and sinister, that's Helck. |

| Whoa, the angel lord is more powerful than I originally thought! |
 |
| really great adaptation so far despite some jokes not hitting the same. they're doing an awesome job of balancing the comedy and tension/mystery aspect. can't wait for more !! |
 |
| Cliffhangers can go jump off a microwave, It finally got interesting! |
 |
| i already added this show to favorite anime seasonal !! this anime is so so gems !! |
Nasif_ said: The anime skipped out on this, but Azudora and Vamirio, who are Four Heavenly Kings, are ranked higher than the demon kings. Each Heavenly King is in charge of a quadrant of the Empire. Demon kings control local districts within those quadrants.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 should have been shown at the beginning of episode 2:  |
