    very good.

    The fights are a bit underwhelming but the AMAZING music really makes up for it. gives me chills.

    First season 8/10 or higher, season 2 is awful

    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.

    UNDERRATED. The MC is OP and not naive, it's fun & funny

    First all i wanna say, WE NEED SEASON 2😭

    Idk why it's rated 6, but tbh this anime is so good.

    The MC got transported into another world, he's a demon lord and ofc overpowered, and his character is funny and anti naive which is what I love in MC character.

    The graphics is really good, although there isn't much action and drama, but it's fun to watch. Like any other MC in fantasy world, the MC have few females that like him and interested with him.

    On the first half of the season, there's more action than the rest, i think it's because on the first half the MC just arrived in another world and people try to kill him cause they see him as a demon lord. But the rest of the season, there isn't much action cause his building a village with his underling and powerful people haven't show up and some of them already got beaten up by him.

    saddening

    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.

    My thoughts

    I mean there really isn't anything bad i could say the show it pretty amazing the character development is amazing and the character are well made but there's one thing I disliked was the fact that him aka the demon lord has another person that he could change into there's nothing wrong with this but no one knows it's really him so what's the point at least let him switch during battle so his group knows its him.
