Synopsis
Comedic quest of amateur hero Alba and sadistic soldier Ross to stop revived demon lord Rchimedes.
Once upon a time, the demon lord Rchimedes spread terror throughout the world, until he was eventually sealed away by the legendary hero Creasion. Since then, a thousand years have passed peacefully. However, a mysterious hole has opened up between the demon and human spheres, and countless demons have surged into the human realm once more. Coming to the conclusion that Rchimedes would soon return to wreak havoc, a human king summons the possible descendants of the legendary hero—all 75 of them. Unfortunately, after so long, it was too difficult to pinpoint his true descendants. Among the lionhearted prospects is the amateur adventurer Alba Frühling. His skills may not be top-notch, but he is accompanied by the talented soldier Ross, who helps the young hero whenever he is in a pinch...or at least, he is supposed to. Though undoubtedly a skilled warrior, Ross is actually both sarcastic and sadistic, and hence revels in Alba's suffering. Senyuu. is a comedic adventure following the unlikely duo as they struggle in their endeavor to defeat the demon lord, meeting various eccentrics along the way.

- 8 “This series is the one thing that can always put a smile on my face because of its perfect quirkiness and amazing references to RPG games and the fact that it does it in a parody like fashion!...”
- 10 “THIS IS THE BEST ANIME EVER MADE IN THE WORLD. Never skip opening or recapping. You will regret it. Maybe this is the shortest and funniest and coolest piece you'll ever have the opportunity to see...”
- 9 “How could something so epicly funny be so epicly short? Senyuu answers that question, after the first episode it's hard to resist it's satirical slapstick comedy that is incredibly short and sweet....”
