Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst season 2 was a disappointing drop off from the previous season. They ended up turning the series into a borderline hentai because the plot was too boring.
The first season didn’t have much but at least had an okay plot and used its ecchi genre well enough. This season didn’t. Like i said they turned it into borderline hentai, and the plot was all over the place. I had no clue what was happening and had to anchor myself at the end of all the action. Leaving me confused until the very end of battles.
I don’t have much else to say. The plot is bad and I’m honestly too traumatized from this season to want to watch an ecchi for a long time. It’s no wonder this season had only 10 episodes instead of the usual 12-13 anime’s have. They had nothing to work with an…

Hello Everyone, this is my first review ever and what a better way to start, than from lowest rated anime in my completed list (at least for now).
Oh dear Shinmai Maou no Testament. How much guilty pleasure I had watching your first season and how I suffered during the second one. But to begin with something positive.
Graphics and music
I have to say that both graphics and music are pretty good and they are an overall improvement from the first season. I don't want to write about them much more, since they didn't blew my mind, but they haven't worsen the experience. What did, however, worsen the experience was the story.
Story
I watched Testament some time ago, so I don't remember what happened in every single episode, but I remember I liked none of them. Basara is once again fightin…

In short, this ‘Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha Burst’ is worth watching and is highly recommended if you enjoy the ecchi and harem genres. It perfectly succeeds the Essence of the ‘Shinmai Maou’ series, wonderful ecchi senses. Also, the extra harem girls of the hero make a lot of new fun. Meanwhile, the performance of the plots is better than the presequel. A major flaw of the presequel, the existence of meaningless or in other words slacking off characters in fighting scenes, has been improved significantly. However, I still want to issue that no f**king scene is quite a bit sad.

Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst is what you get when you mix up angsty teenage-level soft hentai, questionable foot & armpit fetishes, a generic Isekai medieval European city and an absurdly predictable plot mixed in with Deux ex-Machinas at every turn.
The worst part is the season starts on a decent note but then suddenly shifts gears and becomes a generic Isekai wet dream where the region of "Hell" is actually just a big metropolitan European city with a bunch of "demons," aka people who have horns.
This generic wonderland city also has a variety of animal races and everything your basic af European medieval anime city could have.
Pros:
1. The slice-of-life aspect is a lot better than in season one.
2. The humour is less about OMG LOOK SEXUAL TENSION, LOL and more about situational…

Frankly speaking, it's the same as season 1, it's a plain meh to me.
Pros:
The animation quality is pretty good. It doesn't feel like a low budget project. Feel smooth, pretty and crisp.
The heroines are fucking hot, lewd and thirsty. The erotic scene is nicely animated and it's pretty horny but it felt pretty unsatisfying due to no sex scene.
Cons:
The plot is very generic to me. Nothing special that make it stand out, it's a forgettable plot.
The MC core personality is not that interesting, it's the generic type that never give up kind of shit and always stand back up over and over again with the same line that "I will protect" kind of shit.
The battle scene is absolute meh, nothing special, same with the powers going on in this series.
The erotic scene are repetitive, each girl h…

I finished the second season of shinmai maou no testament burst, just like I said on the first one, if you don't want to watch tons of fanservice just stay away of this, if you want a soft hentai with tons of big brother complex and cute girls you are up for a treat.
As usual this anime has two points of view, as anime a 4 is what I stand up for, is ok, has some good moments, some good fights, if you want to evaluate it on his level of echiness is a damn 9, but I evaluate the animes for animes and not for the amount of fan service I get.
The story overall is decent, simple, nice... sometimes boring with some good points at some momments.
The animation is great, holy crap, the best point of this anime by a landslide, as this kind of anime has to be, beatuifull characters, beautifull anim…

tl;dr: A sequel season that isn't particularly surprising but continues doing what its good at doing well.
This is a really strong sequel carries over all the strengths of the previous season but manages to change things up enough to still be really interesting. There are two arcs, the first is centered around Hasegawa, but it's mostly setting things up for future arcs and hence doesn't really change things in major ways. The more intense arc is the second, which involves the group going to the demon world. This arc is pretty long but is pretty intense all the way through. There are minor political machinations, but the majority of the interesting parts revolve around the action which is the best it's been throughout the series. It's fast and impactful and pretty satisfying to watch most…

Uch, if I wanted to watch something this perverted, I would have just watched a hentai. I mean, I'm all for ecchi anime and I don 't mind fan-service, but the amount in this series is just so over the top, it literally feels like they're just trying to see how much they can get away with before they get slapped with a hentai label. The story is average, and the characters are fine, but it seems like they're trying to find any excuse to dive into an orgy scene with a new type of fetish exploration. Would have appreciated more fight scenes and more of a plot. I give it a 4/10.

One of the worst things i have ever watched. Season 1 was decent but this was dreadful the ecchi was way to high and the plot took so long to happen that i literally fell asleep watching. The cast was so one dimensional and the girls were so focused on basara that it hurt the show and all development of their characters. The teacher in this series gets really messed up in season 2 and the scene that happens between her and basara is do wrong that i skipped through it and it should never be in this series and be in something r rated. The only real good characters are the supporting and villains they serve the show right and are able to keep you somewhat interested. Finally the music in this show is generic as hell nothing is really memorable and the opening you can forgot in under 5 min. Do…

So after seeing that the first anime will be dubbed in the coming months, I decided to watch both series out of curiosity. I didn't review the first series but it's pretty much the same as the second so the review will count for both in my case. My decision to watch this show was a waste of time. What a pile of garbage this anime turned out to be. It's not a 1 because there were a few redeeming factors. I'll start with the negatives first, starting with the worst going downward:
Characters: Holy hell does this series have garbage characters.
Basara, the main character (whom I will be referring as Basura, the Spanish word for garbage as of this point), is your typical harem MC that never really loses and has this intense niceness to him that no normal person would ever have. That is a cr…

Story: so the story this time around is that in that all Basara and his friends end up getting called down to the demon realm cause of this of course new problems arise of people that wants Mios powers but to also top that off they end up having a tourney to decide who will get mios powers either the demon king and or Basara himself (well more of like not them getting killed and also keeping Mio away from them)
Art: art is the same the powers are pretty cool and so are lewd parts as well
Sound: OP and ED are meh at best i personally wont go looking for them and downloading them otherwise the characters sounded good.
Characters: Basara is the main guy of the anime and well he is pretty shy when it comes to the pervy parts but in action he is a total bad ass. Mio one of the main girls she…

After watching the first season i was very interested in seeing the 2nd season but when it had arrived i had all but realised what it had turned into. It was just a mess of random ecchi scenes for no reason and was just all over the place. I did not enjoy myself as much as the previous season. I know that the ecchi was the appeal of the show but they over did it in the 2nd season. It just went so obverboard that whenever a new female character was introduced, shortly an ecchi scene would follow. The whole story was just drowned out in the immense amount of ecchi scenes. The story barely progressed the characters were just there for fanservice and barely contributed to the story. Overall i would say that they will have to massively improve on these points in the 3rd season if i were to watc…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst has an affinity for bathing. That makes sense. An ecchi anime without a bath scene or two is like an anime without animation – it is almost unheard of.
For myself, bathing has never generated any exceptional stories. Save for one.
Growing up, I’ve always liked minty snacks. But, as a young kid, I took it a few steps further. When I bathed, I had this plastic container that I would fill with both water and toothpaste because the toothpaste tasted like mint. And, as the weirdo I was, I ate my watery-tooth-pasty concoction. Not just once either. Every shower, be it Crest or Aquafresh, I would partake in my makeshift, minty mousse.
The outcome? I would get sick. Many a night I had tea…

(This review covers both seasons as it was meant to be seen and will be on both seasons review section.)
Shinmai Maou no Testament comes to a close on this final season. I think is fair to say that it excelled as a successful "Ecchi". The Succubus factor not only delivered mind blowing fan service but assimilated well the action elements as well as to rid the common problem of the Hero vs Demon premise suffers from. Locations of peers when kidnapped as well as growth of our protagonist on a steady pace thanks to the aforementioned succubus factor.
We are left with many questions and I certainly feel compelled to check out the Light Novel. The story is standard given spice and the elements thrown by the author are very creative, Made use of many cliches and some ideas found on other Light…

In lieu of a full review I will discuss how season 2 varied from season 1 (and why it was even worse).
For starters, the story was even worse than before. It was trash. You aren't given enough background information; the angle with the school nurse, the thing about his mother(s) and other pieces of the plot were explained poorly and there was no follow through. The art and sound were comparable but the characters were even more annoying this time. The ecchi got more uncomfortable, the excuses for it for far worse and the new characters introduced were even more tropish than before. My biggest pet peeve was MCs ability to control his power at the end. He struggled under 2 conditions but seemed to be all good handling all 3, it made no sense and made me painfully aware I had watched 10 episo…

Quick n Dirty Review:
It's a fun series to watch. Is it gonna blow your mind with character development and detailed extensive stories? No. But it's fun as hell, made me laugh quite a bit, and I didn't have to skip through a ton of pointless exposition.
Story: By the books, nothing original but nothing bad. Average score. 5/10
Art: Art is fine. Nothing negative to say, and Basara at the end is awesome. 7/10.
Sound: Music is fine, voice acting is great. 7/10.
Characters: Characters are interesting in that they play their tropes very well. And the main Protag doesn't spend 90% of the anime crying about how weak he is (I really REALLY hate that). The girls are fun, and the Mio is still great. 8/10
Enjoyment: This is a very weird category, but I absolutely enjoyed the crap out of it. I spen…

Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst follows Basara a former hero who now lives with Demons huge twist right? Basara was instructed by his dad to take care of them as if they were his own blood. So Basara being the person he is agrees to take care of them this is where things get interesting. Mio is actually the daughter of the former demon king. Throughout this series Basara must protect Mio from people who want to bring her harm do to her power of being the former demon kings daughter. This series doesn't have a very strong story behind it besides Mio being daughter of demon king and Basara in charge of protecting her. The awesome battle scenes make up for it a bit but it is also a pretty hardcore Ecchi which is not really the typical thing I like. Its pretty close to softcore Hentai but none…

What happens when you try to make an anime out of a nukige
Story: 2/10
Not giving 1 because it actually has a story, even though it's just as bad as any hentai out there because this kind of Demon Lord setting is extremely overused, so creating a good story with it is a hard thing, but many enjoy even if it's just like the others, so it's like an assurance to have audience.
The plot goes like this: "Basara!" "Aahh!!" *Random Ecchi Scene* -> *Some bad attempt to make MC look badass* -> *Fight Scene* -> Repeat the cycle
Before watching the first season I thought Shinmai Maou no Testament was an parody of Highschool DxD, but after watching episode 5 of the second season I noticed they didn't intend to stop their shitty parody there, because they tried to copy Akame ga Kill and Shingeki no Ky…

French guy here so don't blame too much for bad grammar, please.
Well, well, a new season of HDxD's copy then. Let's see what is about.
So, Shinmai maou no testament burst is about a harem who fought against gay demons, and that's all. This anime is a way more worst thant the first season who was already a waste of time, except if you love to get your face crushed in giant breast for the whole episode.
And we are there now, after the encounter of the most charismatic antagonist of all time ( god I love sarcasm ), harem-shit team continue they fantastic adventure in the real world of the true reality. Between two ( almost ) hentai scenes, we get to know that there is some trouble outside and random people started to use magic to kill the protagonist. Except the fact of "how normal people…

For the past few years, the idea of "quality entertainment" in anime I've felt has completely changed meaning. Currently, we're in the age where sex sells, and the idea of not having it in some way shape or form is almost a completely ludicrous thought. And so, to bolster that terrible, terrible thought, we have Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst, sequel to the first Sister Testament series, and a piece of crap that is even more of an insult to the series than the sister testament series already was to itself.
Story: The story here is pretty basic. Picking off from the where the first season ended, Burst continues along the sexual and badass adventures of our main protagonist, Basara, where he sucks bitches and fights monsters. Kinda like what he did in the first season, but this time, in th…
