The appeal and reviews of "Maou-sama, Retry!"

"Maou-sama, Retry!" is a TV anime series based on the light novel by Kanzaki Kurone, which aired from July 4 to September 19, 2019. The 12-episode series combines fantasy set in another world with game elements to create a fascinating world that draws viewers in.

story

The protagonist, Akira Ohno, is transported to another world while logged in as the final boss of the online game "GAME" that he runs, "Demon King Hakuto Kunai". There, he meets a girl named Aku who has a disability in one leg, and begins his journey. However, the existence of the "Demon King" with overwhelming power causes a stir in the surrounding area, and the country and the saint make him a target for extermination, and the party causes various turmoil wherever they go.

This story follows the typical pattern of the protagonist being transported to another world and starting a new life, but the setting of the protagonist being the final boss of the game is fresh and offers a new perspective to the audience. Also, the contrast between Akira Ono, who has the powers of a demon king but is an ordinary person on the inside, adds depth to the story.

character

The main character, Kunai Hakuto (CV: Tsuda Kenjiro), looks like a demon king, but inside he is an ordinary person named Ohno Akira.

Killer Queen (CV: Tomatsu Haruka) is the second daughter of the "Three Holy Maidens" and, as her name suggests, she behaves like a queen. Although you wouldn't imagine it from her rough behavior, she also has a maiden side, waiting for the appearance of a destined partner who is stronger than herself. Tomatsu Haruka's voice acting perfectly expresses Killer Queen's strength and maiden heart.

Angel White (voiced by Aki Toyosaki) is the eldest of the "Three Holy Maidens" and the most sensible of the three.
