Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

Weak storyline, the plot is boring. I can't understand why some reviewers talk about "rebirth in another world". I didn't even notice a scene like that. The episodes are action-packed but most of the scenes don't make sense. Like episode 8, for example. The hole in the wall is patched up with a spell, only to then open a new hole in a different place during a counterattack. Military and strategic decisions are absolute nonsense. On second glance, they probably tried to add a "harem touch" but apparently didn't quite follow through with this idea. I really wonder where all these animes without a meaningful story come from.It's truly amazing that they even take the time to animate something like that.

The anime is good, better than expected, its story tends to be a little interesting, the affection of the main character makes the anime watchable, as well as the maid and the pig, it also has other interesting things in its story, especially on the side that, there are objects and indications of a much more advanced human civilization that was lost in time (although it does not focus on this, it only mentions it). It is an anime with an interesting premise, but the low budget in animation takes away too much from it, taking into account that after the management of territories, thisis the second most important thing, but the story although it has already been seen is interesting, since they do not show the main character as all-powerful, the story is somewhat interesting, but the animation makes it heavy to watch

We'll go straight to the points (without mentioning its animations because I already anticipated it): What's good? + Jiron (he's carrying the entire series really hard) + Tensura wannabe (?) + Generic isekai story, but still interesting What's bad? - bad CGI - brightness- colour composition & details, especially some of their outline that hurt my eyes - lots of boring scenes that made me sped up to 1.25x As a crappy Isekai anime watcher, I'm still intrigued for a 2nd season if existing since they haven't dug up enough Ike's story before death and Romberg. However, this needs a slight studio upgrade. Overall, this anime is recommended only for anime fans with low standards.

The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army Was a Human - A demon-parading human wants to be like Tensei Slime's Rimuru to bring demons and humans together? That's quite the ambitious approach that's a long way to realisation. Ask just anyone around if fantasy, like Isekai, has gotten stale no matter how many AniManga works we've received, especially over recent years with a copy-paste rhetoric that has a premise that, despite being generic, is "unique" to the point of creating a story for it. And that's exactly what we get with novelist Ryousuke Hata's Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta a.k.a The Strongest Magicianin the Demon Lord's Army Was a Human, whose premise/plot you should be able to capture the nuance by its very descriptive title alone. "Kids, I'm about to tell you a bedtime story, about how a human can disguise his way to becoming part of demons. The TL;DR - just be a person strong in any attribute that's worthy of supporting the race you're fighting for and have a goal in mind to accomplish what you want to be in the organization." Like seriously, the aforementioned human that is simply called Ike, he may be a human whom, in the uncommon case of a kind demon taking after to adopt and teach him magic skills, to which he's grown and now supported by a fellow demon sorceress, he's just someone being built different for his course of events: be a leading figure in the Demon army, hide his secret as much as possible even if the few will by chance know of his humanly demeanour, and keep the status quo pretty much for as long as he shall. But being a human, Ike has ambitions, like bringing both the human and demon race together to co-exist as one entity together, but this ambition is beset by the "needless" war between both races to determine who's superior, because demons are that egoistical to begin with. Alas, that's just really all that Ike's going for, because he seeks harmony with no matrimony for the surroundings, just being a plain average Joe who fights for the sake of the matter. He's a Lawful Good and Evil on that regard. The supporting cast are just as hilarious in their own terms. The demon head honcho that is Dairokuten, exudes demonic and Chaotic Evil, but she comes off as being a Lawful or Neutral Evil due to her teenager-like stance that all she's just good for is being a spokesperson so that she can command Ike on what to do in her regard. Quite a lazy leader, if you ask me. Except for the maid Satie for whom she comes off as a Chaotic Good, the others are just a total misfire, just as is the setting and world-building, which are egregiously missing. But then again, this is a rather simple story plot, so the goal is pretty much what you see going with the 3-episode rule set in mind for this show, which is about the perfect "just one more episode" duration you could give to experience all that it is, because it's barebones as heck and hell to then and back. Basically put, this is a show that has no care given to it, that screams of the people behind this just wanting to finish and be done with so they can wash their hands off of a failing project and move onto the next. Given Studio A-CAT's standards, expect nothing but the worst in both 2D and especially the studio's "signature" 3DCG production (which is actually worse than last season's Highspeed Etoile in all regards), and the music, despite being composed by famed composer Kohta Yamamoto, his talent is wasted and washed dry from the ashes of this anime, from the OST, and even right down to the OP and ED itself sounding like inferior versions of Attack on Titan's OST, if made demonic to begin with. Like some others, I always say: there is good within the bad, but this show proved that assumption completely wrong, because there's just nothing redeemable about this anime, nor even its original source work, which was goodness-graciously not overstretched by the imagination of its estranged author thinking that he could be "inspired" to write as much as possible out of complete genericness for a retarded execution. Sorry to break your bones, but this anime is just barely watchable. Skip this show, you're really not missing much.
