Review of The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy
Yet another bang average seasonal harem fantasy anime. Now usually I don't mind them. I enjoy this pairing of genres for quick late night binging. As long as it has a cute cast of characters and a respectably apt main lead I'll consume any harem anime. Well it ticks the box for cute characters. Even though most lack any semblance of depth and are just cardboard cutouts appealing to degenerates. The story is passable. Its an interesting concept and an even more interesting theme. It definitely had potential. Alas my biggest gripe is the protagonist. For some unfathomable reason I simply cannot understand why anime still run withchild protagonists. Especially this one. The MC is a 10 year old demon lord incarnate. But the indomitable spirit of pure intimidation and malice simply does not translate to a fucking child.
Every single time the MC tries to look cool it comes off purely chunni. Like an immature little brat asserting himself when in reality I was wishing for him to shut the fuck up. I can only deduce that this story was conceived by a pure beta male that gets off on mommy energy.
It seems creating shows around pubescent boys and much older women is soon going to be the norm for isekai/fantasy anime and its for the worse. I will never find the appeal in this.
I was hoping for a time skip with the protagonist all grown up or atleast much older. But alas there was none.
Basically you're watching Misfits of the demon academy, but the protagonist is a child with a chunibyo syndrome surrounded by cute older female characters with laughably barren personalities and motives centered around a snoozefest amateurely written plot created by a beta male.
Skip this one. There are plenty of commendable harem fantasy anime out there that deserves your time more than this dogshit.
