Maou-sama, Retry!

Watched on 17 May 2025

An isekai anime I finished within a day. It is an average series, nothing great, yet with a few funny moments.

Not much goes on about deep storyline or unique plot points; it follows the usual isekai formula and does not do anything novel to the genre, yet it is still a decent watch for some mindless time-wasting.

There are two seasons out now, but I have only watched the first one yet. For me, it was just okay; I neither loved it nor hated it.

A rating of 6/10 would be what I can give it.

Ye ek isekai anime hai 17 may 2025 ko ek hi din me khatam kardiya tha. Ye ek isekai anime hai. Anime average hai. Kuch funny moment hai. Zayada kuch nahi kahunga iska 2 season hai halaki maine bas 1 hi dekha hai. Or ye anime mujhe thik thak laga. Main ise 6 out of 10 dunga.

As someone who genuinely enjoyed the first season, I had high expectations for the second season, hoping it would build upon the solid foundation laid by its predecessor. Unfortunately, the second season turned out to be a major disappointment. It felt like a generic isekai anime, lacking originality and depth, and worse, it came across as an uninspired Overlord ripoff. The storytelling felt lazy, with predictable tropes and uninspired world-building. I was eagerly anticipating a fresh and engaging continuation, but what I got instead was a soulless imitation that failed to capture the magic of the first season.

Demon Lord, Retry! Is pretty decent in my opinion, though it's not a top tier anime if I were to say. It's not amazing but not horrible either. But i personally find it enjoyable and liked it a lot. Some people may hate it and others may like it. So it's really up to you and your personal tastes. Some might not like the animation style either.

Season 1 made me really want a season 2 to come out but sheeesshh, with switching voice actors, animation and production studios, it absolutely ruined the show. Season 1 is above an 8/10 but season 2 is below a 2/10.

Season 1 had great character development, great animation style. And overall story. Season 2s first couple episodes is merely a recap with awful comedy timing, characters, animation, etc.

I truly wished season 2 picked up where season 1 ended, but it's an entirely different show. Third rate garbage if you ask me. Luckily Re:zero season 3 is on its way with a decent selection of fall anime shows. Keep your heads up folks, there are other gems out there.

The first season isn't anything special. It is a pretty dull male power fantasy, and it's pretty sexist. I still enjoyed it better than Overlord, which was unwatchable, but only because the characters were a bit less obnoxious and sycophantic. However, season 2 (R) is utterly pointless. Why on earth did they decide to remake the same series only 2 years later? Moreover, everything from the animation to the humor is worse in season R. I think if they wanted to "retry" making the anime, they should have at least tried to improve on the first season, but the second attempt is worse in every conceivable way, utter trash that would not be worth watching even if it wasn't just the same story again. 5/10 for season 1 but 1/10 for season R.
