Well it’s not like you gave me a choice, anime! I mean, last episode you had a character get naked for absolutely no reason! She was even asked twice why she took off her damn clothes, and she never told us! I guess it was to make her invisibility spell work, but she never actually went invisible. But anyway, yeah, okay, what’s the over under on who gets naked this time? The android hasn’t gotten naked in a while, but the witch hat lady hasn’t gotten naked at all! Maybe she pulled the short straw this time. Why am I considering this?
LAST TIME: Everything was going fine until some goddamn lunatic decided to resurrect some terrifying stories-tall sea sponge. Then there was a bunch of bullshit, the little guy suddenly got Gundam armor, and for some reason the government wants the main character to marry the person who absolutely hates him. Well, that’ll happen under Obamacare.
0:02 Oh one of those! I’ve seen that in the optometrist…oh no it’s something else.
0:34 Yeah, lady, you aren’t a magnet. Stop clinging to this random guy.
1:09 Well that all depends, buddy. Who the hell are you?
2:58 Wait, that ugly duck thing is expensive? I wouldn’t pay 25 cents for that ugly knickknack.
3:44 Yeah, the Demon King has plenty of time to just lie around underneath a tree. What a terrifying villain.
5:02 “Do you think we can celebrate my birthday together?” Like with sex?
5:52 Why are we suddenly looking at vermicelli?
6:09 OH RIGHT! For a goddamn tentacle scene! Goddamn it!
6:58 Yeah, the circus music doesn’t make this entire scene not skeezy as shit.
7:53 Apparently they just announce the sudden revival of demon beasts as if it was the goddamn weather.
8:50 “Okay, enough with the rice talk.”
9:45 God is basically an enormous computer that gives random people magical powers based on their geopolitical heritage. You heard it here first, folks.
11:16 Oh shit she is naked again. (We didn’t see it though, so it doesn’t count.)
12:36 Why is she holding a baton? Does that have some significance?
13:14 Oh shit he saw me! Quick, do the robot!
13:41 The voice actors suddenly got really bored with their lines.
14:07 Oh my god this person is acting like a human and I find it hilarious!
15:27 So, nobody notices that he suddenly is wearing a wrist computer?
15:43 Wait, it started to glow, so he threw it out the window, and then suddenly it’s nighttime and the egg is 30 feet tall? Why does this always happen when there’s a big ass fight?
16:46 “Go ahead and bow before me, giant chicken demon!”
17:19 And…the chicken demon is gone. Let’s forget about it? Oh of course not.
17:50 I’m going to show you some interesting spots, but not on the ground, instead I’ll float on this weird floating pentagram, because I’m a magic host of some kind?
18:49 Hang on, is the sidekick going to win this entire fight all by himself? Because I’m pretty sure the story isn’t about him at all.
19:26 She hates demon beasts more than anything. More than pickles or split ends or Democrats…
20:38 Oh good, another pointless scene with the student government. I can’t wait for them to matter.
21:00 “I have no sexist intention to take away from freedom of choice.”
21:32 Eh…no…you totally asked her when her birthday was when she first mentioned it. I was there.
22:04 Oh shit we’re still doing the arranged marriage thing? Ah man…
Verdict: Nobody got naked! Sure, there was some tentacle rape, and the “hero” of the series did absolutely jackshit, but hey, at least there were no cartoon tits this time. And there were a lot of unintentionally funny lines too...
I love anime that juxtaposes everyday life with mystical happenings. Like Naruto Shippuden, or Cardcaptor Sakura. It is amazing how the writers can actually make everything seem so sensible and real. Demon King Daimao is a perfect example of that. Also, I felt that the anime was quite funny but does not fail to capture the direness of a future Demon King right inside the school. There was a perfect mix of hilarity and sternness, and the setting seemed so perfect.
