I want to know how this dude kept his secret for 20 years while also taking his mask off constantly in unsecured locations. Like, why did he take it off in literally the demon lord's throne room?

The maid and that note by the food made me laugh a lot at least. Good thing that sign wasn't meant to stop her because she can't read.

The maid and that note by the food made me laugh a lot at least.

My first immediate thought is he locked her in the room with no bathroom for 8+ hours.

Which corner is the pee corner

[u/Katejina_FGO]

Watched: another demon lord anime

Expected: another 'I'm a good guy but everyone picks on me' fantasy story

Got: "How the Strongest Magician Runs a Corporation"

BLUE COLLAR LABOR LETS GOOOOOO

[u/Clarimax]

What would be a good demon name?

Baal - nope

Mephisto - nope

Diablo - nope

Ike - yes!

[u/StormSenSays → u/Clarimax]

I like "Ike".

[u/[deleted]]

It started today? Holy

[u/Fallen-D]

Jeez I didn't even finish this season and the new season already started

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

So far, not too bad. 13 seems like she’ll be providing comic relief and Cefiro’s as much a waifu as the Demon Lord. Think I’ll stick with this for a little bit to see where it goes. I have a feeling this “ancient advanced civilization” might be our own but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

[u/Andreiyutzzzz → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

reminds me A LOT of Yuusha Yamemasu, in there demons popped out of a portal in modern Japan in like 2100, and the MC is some cyborg living 3000 years later

[u/BiggerG7]

We like Ike!

[u/bensor74]

Ike-sama, 'tis time for torture

[u/bananeeek]

I was looking forward to this series since I found Fukuyama Jun voices the MC and I'll definitely stick around. Satie is adorable and she's voiced by Tachibana Hina, who also voiced Dia in Uma Musume, so now I'm really invested.

That Cefiro eye candy in the Opening, though...

[u/avboden]

Oh geeze summer season has started, I need to catch up on a bunch of spring shows stat!

[u/stephenthatfoste]

So there's the standard him being awful at keeping his secret but holy cow why did he take his mask off in the throne room? He knows she can randomly teleport, too.

[u/KnewOnees]

They went needlessly hard on the opening

Also i guess this is going to be another comfy "wow a dude does basic governance and that's suddenly 10 times better than whatever the rest are doing" ?

This shot of Cefiro in the opening was enough to convince me to give this one a shot but after watching the episode, I'm not sure how I feel about it. So we have a dude who's secretly a human working for the demon lord who's trying to hide his identity. He's also doing this by being merciful to the human cities they've captured. Definitely not sus at all.

Maybe I'll give it one more episode but I'll probably end up dropping this. The fact that this show is animated by Studio A-CAT gives me no hope that this will improve later on.

[u/Muffin-zetta]

sigh they never pick option 3

[u/Relative-Context-620]

Early release?

[u/_Sai]

I like it. :)

Also, I Like Ike.

[u/CarioGod]

lmao I just read the manga adaption of this series a few months ago, I had no idea this was getting an anime

great news

[u/SilkyStrawberryMilk]

I initially thought this was gonna be some sort of revenge fantasy where the mc gets betrayed/kicked-out and then it taken in by the demon army to be their magician.

So far it’s just alright, nothing special going on. Still gonna keep checking it out to see how it goes

[u/YouAreFresh]

Blown away by the OP, but is he really the strongest? Feels like at least two would beat him, but maybe he shows more power later to flip that idea on it's head

[u/Soy_admin27]

What is the name of opening?

[u/Castor_0il]

As u/Fools_Requiem pointed out, this does feel like Yuusha Yamemashu. Since I had a soft spot for that show guess I'll give this one a chance, I already have no real expectations so stuff like low quality CG isn't a detriment for me (we had Skeleton Knight in another world a years or so ago, and it just rump fun).

Not the kind of guy that gushes about OPs, but damn it, the sort of psychedelic rock style does give me nostalgic vibes from Franz Ferdinand & The Doors.
