Demon King Daimao Complete Collection [Blu-ray]

The was a great choice of mine. It's good for the people who like a lot of bases covered. Action, comedy, romance, violence, and some pretty cool fan service(ooh ya). The characters are awesome, and the story isn't slow and keep you interested. For though who don't like to read, the English Dub sounds great too. All round great anime, but probably not for kids.

When a transfer student arrives at his new school with the intention to one day become a grand priest he is shocked to hear that he destined to be the king of demons. As word quickly spreads throughout the school of his destiny he must contend with those who wish to use him and those who wish to destroy him. The animation, characters, story and English dub are amazing which is why this is one of my favorite animes! Be warned that the series is not suitable for children due to all the fan service and if you're unfamiliar with the term then let me explain. Fan service means there are a lot of large jiggling breasts, revealing clothing, panty exposing character animations, poses and camera angles as well as brief nudity and strongly suggestive themes.

Demon King Daimao, (also known as Ichiban Ushiro No Dai Mao) follows the high school life of Akuto Sai, in a world in which magic not only exists, it's a normal way of life. Quiet, kind-hearted and unassuming, he hopes to become a member of the highest order of the church. However, to his horror, he finds out that he is destined to become the next Demon King. As a result, he has beautiful girls wanting to marry him or kill him. Sometimes, it's both. The series is a short one at 12 episodes, but the storyline is quite enjoyable. Fanservice is pretty standard for a harem series, comedy peaks a lot, and the ending does leave you wanting for more. One of the biggest surprises about this release is the fact that is has an English dub. Considering Sentai Filmworks penchant for subbed-only formats, this is quite a change. For anime fans of harem series, this is a must to own.

This release of Daimao in my opinion is very modest. It contains all of the episodes with minimal extras to offer. It comes on two disks, with a different background image for each main menu. Also, there is no music on the main menu. Not really a big deal I suppose, but would have been nice. The extras include production sketches (drawings of characters with a soundtrack playing in the back), clean opening and closing animation (the intro and ending with no credits over the images) and trailers for other Sentai releases. So, as far as extra meat on the release..it isn't anything too special. But, depending on how much of a fan you may be, this could mean nothing to you. The picture quality is awesome. It has a very sharp look to it and often times very bright coloring. It looks great and the sound is also very good. One thing I did find odd is that this is considered an "uncensored version". I first saw this show on netflix, which after watching it again with this release, I saw no difference. My assumption is that a lot of breast had been edited out of the censored version. There are two scenes that depict frontal genital nudity (both male and female) that are still blocked on this version. In all likely hood that was how the show was actually made, but for those that know which scenes I'm talking about, they are in fact still censored in this. Despite the modest features of this product, the show is very humorous. If you've seen it before and are considering owning it, this is the way to go. It really does look great. Though if you haven't seen it, I recommend watching it on netflix or somewhere first. The story starts great but ends up leaving something to be desired. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase.

I loved this anime, Akuto Sai (the main character) is so hilarious the way he is always screwing up in conflict after conflict. Junko the blue haired girl on the cover always catching him at the worst possible moment. Only regret I have about this...unless someone reads this review who knows otherwise, I couldn't find a book manga released in English anywhere only online. Alotta anime fans don't read manga though and you will love this anime. But if someone knows of a manga book set comment and correct me please.

The overall show is decent. The characters are good too. Even the storyline is good. The thing that bugs me is that it feels sort of rushed. The dubbed is bad. The for some of the characters, the mouths still move even though they're are done talking (I'm seeing this all too often these days). There are a lot of funny parts though, nudity (full frontals & all that. In some scenes, they show everything). A decent amount of sexual jokes (Both visual & conversational). Lots of explosions to boot. All in all, it's original. Could it have been done better? Yes, it damn well could have. Worth buying? Yes, to pass time (but not for this price). Character growth? Not really but enough to progress the story a bit. For kids? HELL NO! lol

I love this anime, I wish I could see a second season but who knows if that will ever happen it ends pretty well so.... Anyway lots of fan service and sexual situations/innuendo but great story well written and the English voice cast did a great job. I am a huge anime fan and this is a great one lots of comedy and a few serious points I highly recommend I would suggest 15 or 16 yrs and up certain things I wouldn't let my 9 yr old see so I speak from experience.

If I had to shorten a review to a few words, it'd be something like this: Maburaho meets Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The series isn't so much a departure from typical Ecchi Harem series with plots as much as it is an evolution. For only twelve episodes, one can see a fairly decent plot take shape, the resolution of the plot is a bit weak. The fan service is beyond the impossible, and the content of the action? If you're watching this for the action, then you shouldn't be disappointed. The series itself tends to attempt to take itself seriously simultaneously not from episode eight to the end, it shows, but up and to that point, it's all fun and games, till someone gets hurt, then there are explosions.
