Demon King Daimao

Demon King Daimao

Introduction

Dreaming of changing the world for good, Akuto Sai transfers to Constant Magic Academy where he befriends a virtuous ninja clan member, Junko Hattori. On the way to the academy, they vow to make the world a better place together; however, the situation suddenly takes a turn for the worse upon his arrival—it is prophesied that he will become the Demon King! As word of his destiny spreads, the school begins to fear him, and Junko's trust in him falters. While Akuto is determined to not let his predicted future control his fate, it seems as though everything he says and does only serve to reinforce the fact that he is destined to be the Demon King. Moreover, he is surrounded by a harem of beautiful girls who each have their own plans for him, ranging from bringing him to justice to simply showering him with love. With his newly awakened powers, Akuto must cope with his constantly growing list of misfortunes and fight to prove that his fate is not set in stone. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This is pure bullshit lol. Don't watch this, don't let 7+ rating fool you like it did me, thinking it would be somewhat decent show. Go away fast, this isn't the ecchi you're looking for. Story is bad, characters are even worse, art is only good for like, 3 seconds per episode and honestly I don't think japanese had seen nipples at this point of history. Maybe they discovered it post 2015 or something. I don't know. Sound was bad, enjoyment was less than what I came to this anime fore and overall didn't hold up to expectations of "ecchi harem battle magic and overpowred MC" thing. Meh/10 honestly, I just gave 4 or 5 arbitrarily. I came for a 7.25/10 anime, got less than 6/10.

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou This had the potential to be great, but they failed to bring a well paced story. Story The story was really interesting, Sai Akuto had a dream, and that dream was to be the Pope but little did he knew that he was destined to become the opposite of that, and that was to be the Demon King, every one in the Academy sees him as a treat and evil, when in reality he's not, he is a good person, who even wants to marry a woman and therefore he doesn't do anything with the girls that follows him, even when they try to seduce him, the problem with this, is that this was too short to rush the last episodes to be serious and throws you a lot of things that you didn't know and a lot of new factions and people, it was too much for just three or four episodes, it could have wor…

This show is horrid. Absolutely terrible. It was fun for maybe two seconds, but it just got worse and worse, and I hated it more and more the longer I watched it. Where to even begin with this trainwreck? Believe it or not, the main problem is not the insane exploitative nudity. That certainly is a problem, though. You can only see boobs so many times before they stop being funny, sexy, or even uncomfortable. But that isn't the main problem. There are two main problems with this show. The first problem is that the plot is rushed, confusing, unclear, and terrible in both idea and execution. I barely had any clue what was going on, and nothing was happening that made me want to know. Things just sort of happen, who cares about coherence. The main plot comes out of nowhere maybe 2/3 of the wa…

I really wanted to like this show. The premise is great, the world has a lot of potential, and there are many things this show does really well. Despite its gratuitious action scenes which are violent without being overly gory, the show never quite takes itself too seriously, and there are plenty of things to laugh about. It also has a typical ecchi harem subplot to add a healthy dose of titillation. Despite all its good points however, it suffers from a single, major flaw, from which all its weaknesses stem: this story is far too ambitious for 12 episodes. All the problems of this show could have been solved if it extended the same story to two seasons. There would have been more time to develop the characters and learn the motivations behind the various factions. It would also give mor…

***May contain spoilers*** Usually I wouldnt do a review if I agree with the current reviews, but I just HAD to express my opinions on this anime. To start, the anime was quite interesting for the first few episodes. I'm not really a fan of the harem genre, but i really liked that the MC seemed to be quite badass and have lots of power. However, the entire concept of "Brave" felt super, super stupid and out of place. What a hypocrite. Weak, and given power just because of a suit created by someone else. The "Hero" was really lame - the suit looked stupid, and he was really going against his 'Aniki' all along. I dont get why the MC apologized to the 'Brave' guy at the end cause really it should be the other way around. Brave could've killed the MC and not only that, but went insane for a…

I was very interested in this anime at first- it was a fantasy ecchi harem, and I have enjoyed shows like that in the past. Story: At the beginning it looked promising. But then the story got so convoluted and over-complicated, and it kept tripping and falling all the way till the end. The art: Wasn't the worst, but I have seen much better. Sound: The opening theme is awesome, the dubbed voices are pretty good. I usually didn't watch the ending theme, so I cannot comment on that Character: There was literally only 1 character I liked throughout, and that was Kena- I liked her fluffy personality, and it created a nice foil for the trying-to-be-really-dark story. Other than that, they were your typical harem bunch: the tsundere (and I normally don't mind tsundere characters, but this on…

If you expect anything more than a harem anime from this harem/comedy anime you're in for a bad time. The problem is that this anime serves up some plot faster than you can pop a pop tart which drag down the harem/comedy that starts out strong. We can sum this anime up as quoted from a character: "I found the rest but I just can't find my panties[plot]." ...possibly because the plot is like air, its everywhere but you can't really see it, just feel it. Yeah I don't really get this analogy either. What could have been a half decent harem/comedy anime with a semi interesting main character (because he's not the goody do-er that's overused in these types of anime) instead attempts to focus a little too much on overall plot which leads to its downfall. Though it bombards the viewer with girl…

Utagai-

Usually, when I start up a harem/ecchi anime, I prepare myself for the onslaught of nonsensical breasts, sporadic panty shots, illogical physics and random facesitting. These are the basics, and anyone who has watched more than one ecchi knows that this is a common theme in all of them. And of course, naturally, these people don't go too hard on the show because "it comes with the genre," and "you have to look at it as a harem/ecchi." I disagree. There is a fundamental problem with ecchi anime that goes overboard. For an anime to be considered a good work, it needs to accomplish things such as thematic development and effective symbolism, amongst other things, although there are a few exceptions. There are, for sure, aspects such as art and sound that come into play when judging an an…

Hillarious but pour excecution. That´s what i would say. Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou is one of these anime´s that isn´t serious. Making it funny at a lot of parts, also with the ecchi in it makes it even more unserious. Also i this anime has some´nasty´things in this anime wich are pretty much hillarious with the reactions of the characters. If you dislike these ´wrong´ anime´s, please do not watch it. It´s supposed to be an funny anime with some serious moments in it. Overall on of these anime who wont be rated highly bad at an avarage of a 6/7, i think it´s a 7 which is an honnest personal rating. I want to go over the parts which determine my conclusion about this anime. The story is well yeay not unique but epic. the reactions and behaviour of this anime is pretty much in sync with t…

This is my first review and English is not my first language, so i'm sorry for every mistakes i'll do in this review. First of all, i want to say that i choose this anime for my first review because i really loved it, i guess it's easier to write first about anime you enjoyed. This show is a comedy ecchi really funny, so if you can't stand a little bit of boobs, this anime is not for you. Here is a little introduction : Sai Akuto is a teen who dream to become a Priest, a man with high qualities. He decide to enter a Magic Highschool. On the road in the train, he swear friendship with another student : Hattori Junko. Arrived at school, he passes a medical examination with a special bird which can predict his future occupation. It predicts a future to the exact opposite of what he dreamed,…

Welcome to a magic school that places you based on what you will be after graduating. One boy has been chosen one and was left on the doorstep to be token care of… welcome to the world of Harry Potter… er… I mean Demon King Daimao. But in all seriousness, this show starts out feeling much like a Harry Potter novel then its own thing. Akudo Sai is a rather interesting character as he wants to be a real holy man with valor so he can be a high Priest but yet ends up in a lot of perverted scenes in seeing women have dressed and up their skirts. He has the feeling of a naïve little boy without being just like Alan from D.Gray Man which would be a little bit over the top. His storyline when he was little is just the same as Harry Potter in that he was left on a doorstep and is considered the h…

"No, Blue is a thousand times better than Red!" "Yellow is a pure maiden." "Purple has sucked 20 dicks." "Green is my waifu." "Peterhausen is obviously the best girl." I'll start by posing a question. What makes an anime good? Are you perhaps, looking for a great story? One that hooks you from the beginning, and doesn't let your balls go until they're blue and screaming? Maybe characters that grow on you and feel like actual people, or how about stunning visuals that breathe life into the show, and an OST that kicks ass? A masterpiece, if you will? Then stop reading here, because that's definitely not what the Color Wars is. However the Color Wars is one thing. Infinitely entertaining. Explosions, panties, giant tentacle monsters, dragons fighting airships, ninja, pedophiles, and se…

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou is a harem series written by Mizuki Shotaro. It was originally a light novel series, which is still going, and got an anime adaptation more recently. I have to say that I have a bad feeling about this one just from the harem and ecchi tags so let's get it over with. Sai Akuto is a transfer student into a prestigious magic academy. He plans to work hard and make the world a better place. When he reports for his physical exam he's told that his future occupation is a demon lord and everyone wants him dead or to get into his pants because free will doesn't exist and he can't just choose a different career or some such nonsense. The plot moves at an absurdly slow pace for most of the series where they introduce minor sub-plots that go absolutely nowhere only to rush…

Okay, Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou, or "Demon Lord furthest in the back" or whatever it is that you want to call this series, starts off with a basic setup, boy meets girl, boy helps girl (actually helped her grandmother who was helping her, kids these days, huh?), boy shares aspirations to become big-shot good guy, boy and girl swear allegiance. It also seems to involve magic. This would be a good start to an anime where the Main Character becomes a hero. It isn't. As soon as MC gets to school he is put through a rigorous health and well-being test, also known as a smoking, bespectacled bird in a jar. Who also tells the future, specifically the future job of the person under inspection. This all takes three seconds. And shocking twist, MC turns out to be destined to become a Demon Lord. Such…

This is why I liked Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. It had the most "badass" protagonist I have ever seen (Sai Akuto). I loved how the characters, effects and environment were drawn. There was many turning points where I was amazed how the things turned out absolutely other way, what I first thought. :) Tiny little minus in the anime was that there could have been less ecchi scenes, but most of them were saved by they turning to funny or awkward moments. Which were a good things/parts because I got to laugh in those moments. :P If there is second season coming, Im certainly gonna watch it. If the anime intrests you even little, I recommend you to watch it!

Well, I have to say this one was pretty hard to rate. I really want to give this anime an 8 or maybe even a 9, but I'll have to settle on something lower because there are some flaws that are just too big to ignore. Let's start with the story. This is why it's so hard to rate. It actually has a good story. But the pacing is pretty hard to cope with. The first 7 or 8 episodes are mostly character development with little bearing over the overall plot. This guy comes to a magic school wanting to become a high priest and help mankind as much as possible. So then there's his physical when he enters his new school that also acts to predict the future occupation of students. And our here gets to be.....that's right a Demon Lord. King of all the demons in the world and somewhat opposing to his "I…

Very decent anime that i personally enjoyed. It leaves a lot to be desired in its 12 episodes and i think a second season should be somewhere in its future. I think it could have had a lot more success as a 24-26 episode series because the story seems too complicated to be explained in half that. Anyone who loves Zero No Tsukaima or similar anime should enjoy a bit more ecchi version of it or similar anime. Its character development was alright but i feel like the end of one episode didn't directly lead into the next and sometimes leaves you wondering what the hell happened in between.

I started watching this the first week it was aired, so I was following most of this as it was being subbed, apart from the last 4 episodes which I burst through this evening by force. This anime starts off very strong in my opinion, it is funny, it is reasonably paced, the characters are interesting, and although there are hints of being slightly generic on occassion in the first few episodes, I dismissed them as everything else was great. The intro hooks you as it starts out at a train station, the main protagonist Sai Akuto is getting on the train to his new school with hopes of becoming a priest, how wrong his hopes will turn out to be though. Immediately he meets with one of the female heroines, and gets off to a rocky start, which is quickly remedied, and they quickly become friend…

Is it just me, or is the playback rate at 200%? 'Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou (The Great Demon King in the Very Back)' is set in an elite magic school where aspiring magicians learn to control their mana. The initial setting is very similar to 'To Aru Majutsu no Index'. One day, a transfer student (Akuto Sai) arrives. New students are required to go through an analysis by the "artificial spirit", which predicts future occupation with 100% accuracy. Surprisingly, the artificial spirit predicts Akuto will become the next Demon King. Once dreamed of becoming the High Priest, Akuto must spend his school life with the burden of becoming the ultimate evil while his true powers awaken, going through one misunderstanding after another. Story: I actually found the original setting to be very intrigu…

"That's why I decided not to think about anything anymore!" That's a good one-line summary of this anime taken straight from the last episode. It's safe to say that the enjoyment of this anime is inversely proportional to the amount of plot stuffed into one episode. Simply, the more plot, the less fun. Ichiban is a harem anime. That means it doesn't exist to cater to the brain, and it doesn't. You should be aware that if you're going to watch this anime, then you're watching it for a good laugh, a small smirk, and moments where you can go "Oh Japan!" and laugh at what makes it onto millions of TV sets across seas. You will like the fight scenes, and you will never learn the characters names - you will refer to them by hair color. Story: 5/10 The demon lord, 100 years ago, tried to destro…
