That said, each mystery tackles big topics in engaging ways -- being thoughtful, but not preachy about how to build a happier world. Go to Full Review

Ryusuke T @RT37987862 10/14/2024 The story of the anime is about Ichirō Umoregi, also known as Akuma-Kun. His goal is to create the Millennia Realm, a paradise for demons and mankind. He tries to achieve this goal with the help of his 12 apostles, his friend Mephisto III., a demon named Gremory and his dad, the original Akuma-Kun, Shingo Umoregi. Akuma-Kun's other goal is to learn about mankind. When raised by a demon, he never learned about morality or empathy, he only learned about the suffering of humans. After being adopted by Shingo, he first learns about kindness. See more PocketC0mb @PocketC0 12/19/2023 To start with the obvious this shows animation is an absolute beauty. The scenery is incredible and lovely to look at. When it comes to characters in the beginning you feel as if they are unnatural and strange. This same things goes with the dialogue, but as the story goes on you do get reasons why some characters act strange. At times they will talk about something random as if the watcher knows what they are, but again they do explain these things throughout the show. Overall I did love the show and I really hope for a second season.
