Review of Demon Lord 2099
A solid 9/10. I want to say this confidently that i enjoy and Maou 2099 is the most underrated, low exposures and low anticipation Anime of this season! I’ll break it down. Like the review before me had said, quote “Maou 2099 is a solid show with a familiar setup: the demon lord is defeated by the hero, vows to return, and gets resurrected in the distant future.” Why did i score a 9/10 for a premise that similar to some of few anime that has aired in recent years? Because it has different type of approach to the story from the begining towards the end. “Waitisn’t it like Maou gakuin that people didn’t believe that hes the actual demon lord and ends with him teaming up with the Hero like the other series?”
Yes, it is indeed a familiar setup that many must have been judge in the first few episodes. But, have you ever even watch or imagine a cyberpunk city that on a constant lifeline by making the demon lord’s servant as fire woods? maybe imagine, but definitely haven’t watched. So, in conclusion its a fresh twist on a plot that has a familiar set up that makes it reasonably not that predictable.
The twist of this story is what makes it different and fresh. Its not as simple as any other similar set up has done. The MC is getting power because of the subscriber of his streaming account? thats modern af LOL
Decent character writing and development, i can’t really say much about the development but the character writing and design is already pretty good for my standard. Because of the straight forwardness of both the character personality and backgroud.
Hey atleast we got a Maou that become a streamer and play soulsborne, isn’t that already some funky character writing? lol. The only noticeable character that being developed is Hijiki… i mean Hizuki, the main point of the 2nd Arc of this series adaptation.
Btw, i didn’t rate this anime with an “underrated scoring”. I reviewed this anime as a solid produced anime. Why? because Aniplex and Kadokawa made this. Thus the 9/10 is a honest upcoming anticipated score and it does fit my standards. Aniplex and Kadokawa as always, never fails to bring smooth edge and light fineline type of adaptation.
This is what Kadokawa and Aniplex type of projects usually are, so if you are searching for similar art style you should check more of their works!
I genuinely hope theres a season 2 of this anime and if it did get a 2nd season. I hope this anime is much more exposed to create anticipation for it to air. So there would be more budget and work done toward this anime. I think it would be an even better anime if theres more enthusiasm!
Fyi, how did i even find this anime? Because i saw a clip on idk where, a clip of towa-sama-san stream clip appears on this anime. I was watching this anime only to confirm and see if tw-sama-san appearance is real or not. And then i stay because of Veltol resemble picture perfect zura and machina is just a cute humanoid immortal female elizabeth from gintama. And finally i stay because i enjoyed the anime.
