Maoyu Review

Girl meets boy, boy meets girl, and then the magic happens... right?

The series starts with the Hero(none of the characters have actual names) making it to the evil lair of the demon king. He charges valiantly, as one would expect of a character whose name is Hero, and discovers *shock* the demon king is a girl. Being the slightly sexist hero he is, he stops mid swing to ogle her. The demon king( her name) then convinces the Hero to help bring an end to the war of humans versus demons. How? Well, by joining forces(and hearts) of course. They use economics and education to try to get everyone to get along and hold hands. That is the basic premise of the show. If you are familiar with Spice and Wolf, you'll fit right in here.

Now, the question. Is it shit?

No, it is far from good, but shit it's not. The story is predictable and offers very little to anyone. That said, I did enjoy parts of it. The characters are enjoyable with their own little quirks and the little sister maid is adorable. There is genuinely some fun time to be had... just not a particularly deep or memorable time. It is a popcorn anime: nothing more, nothing less.

Overall score: meh
