This entire series is like a warm hug. It's basically FRIENDSHIP distilled. It's light-hearted and wholesome, but not vacuous. It's ridiculously random, but cohesive in the long run. And it's FUNNY. Like seriously. The most similar anime I can compare it to would probably be KonoSuba, but with a far wider range of characters.
Like most people, I initially put off watching this because the premise seems weird and the animation isn't the best. It also sounded like yet another isekai. But after just a couple of episodes, it had totally won me over.
What really sets it apart are the characters. They're all wacky in some way or another. All their misadventures are also consistently into developing one character or another. So as the series progresses you get to know everyone better and bette…

On the surface, 'Mairimashita! Iruma-kun' looks like a generic isekai with a not-so-generic setting. A pushover main character given powers he didn't work for and sent into another world where he is immediately surrounded by friends? How could that be any good? Well, the reason is because it wants you to think that and let your guard down. What lies underneath a generic exterior is an excellent execution of tropes you've written off.
For one, Iruma isn't just some annoying pushover - he makes an effort to better himself since he knows how pathetic he is. The difference with him is that he's been dealt a bad hand but is an amazing person that you yourself would want by your side, unlike most generic main characters. You end up cheering for him because you see the positive impact he has on…

Starts off very promising.
Its a fun anime about a very unfortunate kid with the worse parents.
They sold their son to a demon. This demon made him his grandson, and now he's attending demon school.
And due to mishaps after mishaps ends up becoming the most popular student there.
The anime is full of manufactured differences between the human and demon world. Where words like "friend", "date", and "fireworks" dont exist but pretty much every other word does. The demon world knows what gunpowder is but doesnt know fireworks...Its very selective. Whatever is needs for the plot.
Some episodes do start to drag on for some of the most basic plots. Like an episode dedicated to the main character learning how to catch a dodgeball. And a carnival plot that goes on for way too long.
The numb…

I was initially skeptical about this anime, but it surpassed my expectations. I haven't laughed this much in a long time. It's truly one of the best anime experiences.
All the characters in this anime are just so likable, and that's what makes every little thing in the story interesting and memorable. It's the characters that make this anime special.
While the story may not be entirely unique, the time invested in this anime was far from wasted. It serves as the perfect remedy after a long day — if you're seeking laughter, this anime delivers precisely that. Despite the familiar narrative, the enjoyment it brings makes it a worthwhile watch for relaxation and amusement.

“Imagine making an anime which is essentially a rip-off of Hotel Transylvania with a protagonist which is fundamentally a rip-off of Deku, the most retarded-looking protagonist in it. Tagged as Shounen as well? Pfft. This might possibly be worse than My Hero Academia.” - that’s what I thought before watching the show.
Before I began watching Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, I was a big hypocrite towards the show. Trying to judge and criticize it in every way by simply perceiving it and not actually try it myself. When I gathered my courage and began the show it felt like opening a present box given by the people who I love. It was bursting with many sentiments that allowed me to stay happy. I laughed, laughed and laughed. I haven’t laughed this hard ever since a long time now. All the shows I’ve…

It really amused me in the beginning, but then the villain with a stereotypical story joined. And in the last episodes of the series, 3 or 4 episodes have been wasted for this man. Oh come on...
This series amused me until the 20th episode.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In short, it was a nice comedy series. The art wasn't bad. I also liked the character development.
Frankly, I didn't care about the story in this series. Enjoyment was more important to me.
Give this series a chance. :)

Well the synopsis of this anime promised. A boy named Suzuki Iruma is sold by his parents to a demon. Then everything becomes cliche.
The protagonist easily forgets his parents. He is sent to a demonic school where the song itself is supposed to be eating humans. One could be fascinated by how the activities in the demon world will be and how he will survive so that no one discovers that he is human, but what takes away his grace is that they do the same as all humans.
All difficulties are solved with the power of your benefactor. The story behind never progresses. It is a pink world, coffee shops, where you have to go to classes, make friends and do physical activity. Iruma is literally made to play dodgeball like another high school boy in a chapter. Even later they will watch an ent…

I like to start this off with the quality of this anime, everything from the art to the music to the storyline, in my opinion, was very well executed and interesting to watch. I loved the colour and happiness in this show which I haven't really seen before and it makes a refreshing change to have something so fun and exciting along with great music, great animation and a really happy atmosphere.
Obviously that's, not all that makes an anime and without a decent storyline, the base of any anime, this would have just been another happy go lucky show. Luckily enough the storyline is very well executed and interesting, it keeps you watching with very well done character development (the characters, in my opinion, were one of the best elements of the show), interesting plots and a well-done a…

Let's rewind back to the golden era of western cartoons, the 2000s. You had a bunch of fun, creative and clever cartoons that were filled with heart and passion. Some of my favorite cartoons growing include Ben 10 as well its sequel Alien Force Phineas and Ferb, Kim Impossible, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Codename Kids Next Door and Teen Titans.
Too bad that western cartoon has become a cesspool of shit in recent years. Sure I heard there were a couple of decent to good cartoon series to come out in the 2010s but for every one good cartoon you have to deal with 10 forgetful, lazy, poorly animated, pandering, and offensive garbage cartoon that are void of certainty and passion.
Say all you want about isekai anime but least there don't outstay their welcome by not receiving multi…

I really love this anime and i know it just finished but i want another season immediately! I don't want to make one huge paragraph of why i love it so much so i'll try to keep it down to the basics (although there's still paragraphs).
[Alot of talk about the character development from beginning to end]
Story: The story was really interesting and grabbed my attention in the very first episode. In the beginning, however, i was very concerned with how the story was going to go since the main character seemed very VERY sensitive and weak. Despite my concerns, the story kept getting better and better. What really made me happy was that despite his fragility and difference in "species," he was able to make such dependable and amazing friends. I, however, wished that the story would have ended…

I really liked this anime so much. And it got me so hooked that I am desperately waiting for the next season and even finished till where the manga has been updates.
The anime is quite quirky despite the tension it should contain (like a prey in a world full of predators) and I like how the MC dodges all these issues with his adoptive guardian and hell lots of luck.
I honestly have no complaints... except for probably that the anime should come quickly and the manga should update faster... and the ending of the anime is left on a humongous cliff hanger that I would not have been able to sit still if I hadn't read the manga...
Also such genres (magical academy) as well as story lines have managed to capture my attention so well that I am looking forward to so many similar ones.

For a netherworld that has a 'Demon School' and is populated with demons in a place that references the Hebrew language quite a bit, this setting is surprisingly Japanese. I don't know, there's some kind of weird fallacy there I don't quite buy here.
Story:
Suzuki Iruma is a 14 year old boy who has just been taken advantage of all his life. Thanks to his awful parents basically making him a kind of slave that makes money for them and take care of all of the chores at home, he now resides on a tuna fishing boat in order to make back some kind of debt. However the seas were not kind, and the rockiness of the boat drops the frozen tuna load on-board, nearly killing him in the process. That is until a kind gentleman with horns on his head saves Iruma, and tells him that his parents had no…

Marimashita! Iruma-Kun started as a welcome breath of fresh air; the plot, the character designs, the comedic timing, the backgrounds and even the OP looked like taken straight out of a forgotten shounen school comedy from 2002. Like those early noughts series, Marimashita! Iruma-Kun is based on a simple long running gag: Suzuki Iruma is our MC, a human without any sort of magical power who attends a demon school and the only thing he wants is to avoid danger by not standing out. Everything he does to keep his peaceful school life and annonymacy backfires and by the end of every story arc, Iruma ends up being more and more admired by his peers.
It was a fun show that, I thought, would stay afloat if it didn’t (a) become to repetitive and (b) try to take itself too seriously.
Sadly, it ac…

Sometimes we are tempted to exaggerate about a series. Mairimashita! Iruma-kun will give us that opportunity, but in the end, the series can be considered average. From some perspective, the series is for a demographic group, children, if we look at the character designs, the licensors, the plot all points to that. Despite all those facts, the series can be enjoyable for any group of age. I think that the series succeeded in the comedy execution, it is not the best, but it can bring a smile into our faces.
The story follows a youngster, Iruma, who is sold by his parents to the demon Sullivan. This demon takes him to the underworld and starts raising him as his grandson. As the plot advances, we follow Iruma’s daily routine and how he needs to find a way to survive in a world that “hates”…

A truly funny and cute anime.
So where can we start here? I still don't know if this is an isekai or not but it probably isn't one. This anime just manages to make me laugh with its comedy and absurdity. The character are just very lovable and likable. They have good chemistry with each other.
Story: So we start off seeing Iruma working somewhere in a ship that handles frozen fish? Iruma tells us that his parents are fucking shit since they don't do anything and just forces Iruma to work a lot. The ship starts shaking and lots of frozen food starts falling but Iruma dodges all of the falling stuff since his dodge is at least 100. He then suddenly gets kidnapped and arrives into the demon world. A spell is cast on him that lets him speak and understand the Demon language. After that Iruma…

Honestly with every season of anime, it’s probably encouraged to watch as much anime as you can. Sure, there may be sequels or highly anticipated adaptations that you want to watch. That’s fine. Do as you please. But it’s worth to give other shows a shot because you might find a gem that you like. I found myself in this situation with this show as I almost didn’t watch before it aired. My gaze was more focused on other shows like No Guns Life, Beastars and Cautious Hero. Shows from fall 2019 that looked more intriguing than this show. It was a last minute decision and I decided to watch it. What I found was not only one of the more enjoyable shows of fall 2019, but one of the most underrated shows from 2019 in general.
Sit back, relax and hope you get abducted by your own daemon grandpa…

Every now and again a show comes along that seems interesting, but you're not quite sure if you want to get into it. Sometimes you take a leap of faith and it results in you wasting your time. Other times, it ends up being a hidden gem and you thank your lucky stars you got to try it.
For me, Iruma-Kun was the latter. Iruma- Kun is an isekai, but it's not your typical otaku escapism bait. It's much closer to the feeling of watching Cartoon Network shows as a kid than it is to watching a Log Horizon or Re:Zero.
I was put onto the show by some friends in anime club during the start of the Fall season and decided to give it a try once I got home. The show started off quite slow for me. In fact, I would even say I was pretty bored for the first two episodes. But once episode 3 came around an…

I was unsure, unsure of watching this. I thought it would be so generic and unfunny to roll my eyes. I thought that I'd hate the show and its characters. I thought if I start watching the anime I would have dropped it within the first 5 minutes. I thought of all this and decided to skip it. I decited to not watch it, and I ignored it. I ignored all the memes people were making of the show. I ignored all the videos on Youtube and all the possible outcomes to getting a single picture of the show in front of me. I indeed thought and did all of this.
That was my biggest mistake ever. That was something I should have never done to myself. The cover certainly didn't help. The plot either. I hadn't read the manga the anime was based off. I never heard someone talk about this serie before. For a…

"School is a place to learn."
That’s what some of my parents and teachers used to tell me back when I was a kid. Marimashita Iruma-kun! takes the school life tropes by bringing in demons and supernatural entities to spice things up. Because in this demonic world, anything is possible when protagonist Iruma Suzuki enters a demon school.
From Bandai Namco Pictures, Marimashita Iruma-kun walks along the line of a colorful scheme. By focusing on a protagonist of innocent and kind nature, you can probably expect a host of misadventures aimed at his way. Iruma’s life is changed forever upon being sent to a school full of demons. The catch is that no one really knows his true nature, that being a human. Without guidance and being alone in such a world, this anime leads an adventure that blends…
