This anime had some cute moments but the graphics are horrible. I don't normally mind them, but it was worse than 90's anime. I don't know if this was a smaller project or what but the expressions weren't there and the proportions were odd. I was so distracted by the art I ignored the story. The story was okay until the age gap. It's very odd and leaves mixed feelings. Since her raised her it feels more like grooming than romance. It leaves an icky feeling. Had they grown up together with the grandpa raising her it would have been fine. The age gap would ... be odd since he is trying to be "in high school" but it would have just been funny. I don't recommend this anime. If you want a romance between a girl and a childhood friend with some action I really like Hanasakeru Seishounen. An anime with romance and a weird bodyguard, Full Metal panic!

If you are looking for a well-written story with character development this is NOT it. That said, this anime leaned HEAVILY into the MC trope of OP. It made it funny as heck.
The story is about a demon king who died at the hands of a human hero thousands of years ago. The main characters then are all reborn into their modern time. He enters a school in the demon world, that teaches magic. The demon king is reborn with all his OP powers and finds friends along the way. His friends all end up being girls who swoon over him. The demons go to ... the human realm for a school competition but things change course. Events from the past repeat the demon king is again faced with war and battling the hero.
There are no "female fan service scenes" but the girls are basically props to make the MC look cool. They do stuff, but you have the quiet sweet girl, tsundere, and the groupies. They have some background stories but they really are nothing creative or super meaningful. Just another way to show off the OP of the MC. Would I recommend this anime? If you have nothing else to do. But this is not one for the books or to write to someone about. I still enjoyed it though.

This is a peaceful slice-of-life type of anime. There is no massive story besides trying to save the aquarium, and each character has a side story. The story is straight forward and the characters have zero to little development. I liked the first 10 episodes, but I found Kukuru annoying. As the show progressed she stayed greedy, unyielding, childish, and pushed herself onto others. I understand these are high school characters. but the other 3 high schoolers acted more mature than her and were under similar stresses. Each time people create an excuse for her horrible behavior, everyone passes it off as "okay." There is ... tolerance to lack of character development and this anime pushes past that and keeps going.

With every season I watch this anime get's worse. I don't really know what I'm supposed to be interested in. They have made Mo Fan pretty much superman. There is never any threat to him or the other main characters because you know they will live. The main plot was okay but it could have just been a subplot to another bigger plot. The only character I liked was Hui. Because MoFan is always battling you can't tell how strong he is compared to other students. He seems like one of the stronger ones but then people always are like: oh no this person is ... so strong" and then MoFan is fine/wins.

May contain spoilers.
I really enjoyed this anime, more than I should have. The story is lacking in material and the characters don't really develope. The anime starts out as if will be story-driven but then becomes only about food. There are a few character relationships fleshed out, but even then they are... kinda empty. I thought there would be more story to the arranged marriage. the family selling her to the bandits, more conflict with the bandits and the two MC being on the run or something. But nope. The Chunyu is well taken care of. He is a fully flawed character but seems to ... be written that way. I'm also trying to figure out why Jinxuan needs to pretend to be a guy. Maybe when she was traveling alone, for protection, but I'm sure the kid would have understood. There doesn't seem to be an issue of females in charge or who work. Also also... Chunyu says it was all an act, technically he's correct. He wasn't part of the bandits, and thus wouldn't have a wife. Especially if he is a Nobel, he would probably find someone or be matched. She made it an issue because he is attractive and that's enough for her to like him. He had done nothing for her to develop feelings--- if you analyze this anime it kinda sucks. If you just go with it and enjoy it at its foundation it's decent and enjoyable.

Again, not much really happens, but I enjoyed it enough. I will watch season 2 when it's out (Oct 9, 2021).

I like this anime... but I also have issues with it.
Spoilers (kinda).
The main character is Sayu, a female and she goes through a lot after she runs away from home. The anime deals with sex, borderline prostitution of an underage teenager, and possibly rape. People who read the novel said there were worse things that happened. I did not read it but just let it be known. Sayu said she had nowhere to go or no one to help her... but she does have a brother who ends up being kind to her and says he cares for her. Wtf was he before the story ... happened? Piece of crap. Get your own place and have your sister live with you. Since you are family you could probably do that legally instead of having her think her only option is to run away.
You get the idea that that mom has mental issues and the ending with her is in no way real. She is unstable and an abuser. I don't know about Japanese laws, but if someone went that long without looking for their child they would lose custody... also the school is a piece of crap for not looking out for Sayu. I hate bullying but most schools look the other way or 'don't know about it.' I am upset that they didn't think it was strange Sayu didn't turn up at school at all and no one had seen her.
Yoshida is set up as a good guy but he himself says he isn't. Fact. I do think it's odd to help a teenager without contacting their family or filing a report with the police especially when they are a total stranger. It's not to say there aren't 'decent people out there, but I do not like the notes of a potential romance between the main characters. I'm thankful for the end, but the note it leaves on is suspicious. Otherwise, the 'cute romance' would have been grooming and VERY pedophilic. Keep that hentai sh*t away from normal anime. I would have liked the end showing Sayu in Uni talking to Asami about school, Yoshida at his job, and him dating someone. Leave no room for interpretation. Just have him be a decent 'big brother' to Sayu.

Kaji is a piece of crap. Sure the story ends well... be he straight up ran from everything in his life and messed up everyone else's. He also raped Haruki. WTF. WHY IS THAT OKAY to people?! Why does Haruki say he consented? He didn't. Kaji... you are trash. If you read through the manga he is an even worse piece of crap. I don't care if someone tries to turn their life around, that doesn't mean it makes everything they did okay.
There are SO many other animes that have better stories, with romance, that is about music.

I liked the original anime so ... much better. This movie ruined it. I originally wanted a season 2 to see what became of the band and the romance, but I don't care anymore. Any future season 2 can go burn.

Is the writer scraping the bottom of the barrel?
I don't mind tsundere characters or even ones that semi-pick non the opposite character only to find out they like them. But Nagatoro is straight-up bullying the sh*t out of the guy- and you know she "likes" him. If he actually falls for her then this story is literally an abusive romance.
I STRUGGLED through 4 episodes, and there is no amount of recovery in the next 8 that could make this a decent story. It's cringe, the characters are shallow and I have nothing to say besides the art, but even then there is nothing special about ... it. Don't waste your time with this series.
