Here we go again. This time, I will dissect another anime that has been on my to-watch list for a long time. Apart from the name, there was nothing much for me to go on. I saw this one recently ad I have to say, it was not at all what I expected but it did surprise me.
As the name suggests, the anime is about Satan, the lord of hell. In a fight against the heroes, he loses and is forced to retreat through a portal hole. He lands on earth, as a mere human, along with his trusted sidekick Ashiya. Together, they try to find ways to regain their magic and return to hell, or as is known here, Ente Isla. Satan, who goes by the name Maou starts working as a service boy at MgRonalds, while Ashiya is in charge of household activities.
Things get complicated when a hero, who fought against Satan makes contact with Maou. Full of hate and anger, they decide to try to solve things amicably while retaining their enmity. Add the facts that Satan falls in love with his co-worker, and Lucifer, his trusted battle general betrays him, and that Emi Yusa, the hero who follows Satan home is betrayed by her colleagues from Ente Isla, the anime makes a good watch.
Comprising of 13 episodes, the story is about how even the baddest of people are humbled by the kind humanity and how even the biggest enemies can work together for the greater good.
There are no lengthy fight scenes, gory nes, gory mutilations or any over the top sexy scenes as is expected from an anime, but it definitely will stay with you for a long time after you finish it.
If it seems like I am underselling the show, it is because I am. I want you all to go ahead and watch this beautiful piece of animation and let me know your thoughts on the same.
Do let me know how your experience was. Also, if there are any shws you would like me to review, holler freely.
