Review of Demon King Daimao
"That's just nonsense --Etou, Fujiko EP 11" And that sums up this series. I haven't seen or regretted watching such jumbled and confused piece of garbage since I went to see Tank Girl in the theaters, hell this makes FLCL look coherent. It's just that bad with the exception of the artwork which has an interesting style and mixes various themes, there's just no reason to watch this at all. Anyway lets tear this junker down. The premise starts out well. Kid is going to the best Highschool in his country which also happens to be a magical high school. Meets a girl has runins with her misunderstandings ensue and when he gets to the school it turns out his job aptitude is Demon King. Great first 5 minutes right there Unfortunately that's as good as this gets, and it's all downhill from there.
The characters well lets go through them
MC: Bland Overpowered, boring guy who does nothing to gain his abilities
Harem Girl 1: Tsundere, love at first sight with MC but won't admit it
Harem Girl 2: Dom converted to sub by MC (for no particular reason)
Harem Girl 3: Might as well be a real doll
Harem Girl 4: Empty headed sweet girl, in love with MC for no particular reason
Sidekick 1: Complete kiss ass
The Adversaries: Evil for no particular reason
Now lets take the story. WHAT JUST HAPPENED ?, that's all you need. Because you will be saying to yourself as long as you can manage to pay attention. You may also be asking yourself WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT ?.
If the above isn't bad enough for you don't worry it's worse. Demon King not being able to do anything with what it starts with starts dragging in visual and plot elements of every other comic/anime/ live action action show that it could grab onto without being sued for copyright infringement.
After 11 episodes WTF, WTH and get real, it finally ends with an ending that might as well have been written by a couple dozen monkeys at typewriters. I'd fault it for a bunch of last second deus ex machina but by this point who cared ? During the whole series everything popped out of nowhere anyway, and character and story development never really happened either.
