The beginning to this series was unique; as this follows the MC who is a Demon Lord in a futuristic world, then doubles down with online streaming which I thought was entertaining. However, as the series progresses, it moves away from that and goes into a more generic storyline and normally this would drag the series down, but both the main and support characters were likeable. Surprisingly, I enjoyed this series and wouldn't mind another season as there are many unanswered questions.

A decent watch, but don’t expect cyberpunk vibes. The setting feels more modern than futuristic, with elements like streaming and gold/silver plaques that could easily belong to 2024. When the MC resurrected, I anticipated a demon lord navigating a high-tech cyberpunk city, but the story quickly shifts to magic and old acquaintances. Most enemies are tied to the past and rely on magic for combat. Instead of a Maou in Cyberpunk 2077 vibe with advanced tech, it’s more like technology simply replaced wands. The cyberpunk city and futuristic elements feel like a gimmick, as the plot revolves around a mysterious organization with ties to the old world. Overall, it’s less about the future and more about unraveling the past. There are a few sprinkled cyberpunk elements although you can tell the author is not too well-versed in cyberpunk world. A decent watch.

This series is seriously amazing! It completely flips the script on the typical rebirth genre and I love it! The main character's relatable start and the social media twist (followers and likes as power? genius!) make it super relevant to our influencer-obsessed world. And the female character designs? On point! I'm obsessed with how the story unfolds and the ending is great - it wraps up just enough to satisfy, but leaves you wanting more. Highly recommended!!

Fresh! Finally, an anime where the MC is not emotionally driven, snot covered brat with big dreams. Character growth is well made, side characters ... well some of them :/
It reminds me of CodeGeas which was a fresh chapter in anime history. Of course, this one could be done better, like many other anime that had a promise at the start. Nevertheless, its fast paced, two arcs packed in one season anime with "hopefully" a chance for a 2nd season.

Surprisingly a good watch, if anything this anime is original and does very well with story progression and keeping you entertained, although the plot isn't that strong. 8/10

An interesting integration between reincarnation, isekai, and modernization. All the facets of why Vel is who he is remain intact and he isn't this OP monster right off the bat. Instead he's weaker than a regular person, hence why who is he is remains intact.
It's fairly enjoyable and definitely worth a watch. Slightly above average, and I'd be surprised if there was a second season.

pekne ma to prekvapilo (aj keď pri oznámení som mal mierne pochyby čo to bude) a som spokojný, OP síce išiel mimo mňa ale zato ED sa mi náramne páčil. Animácia bola perfektná, Postavy dobré, žiadna mi moc nevadila a dej tak isto takže tomu nemám čo vytknúť. Teším sa na pokračovanie ak nejaké bude. za mňa 8/10

One of the most consistent one of the season. Production is also consistent. A bunch of very interesting characters with nice world building effort.
Overall, nothing really stands out. Plot starts out very lightweight with a lot of SoL/comedy, but gets more attention later. It's not too serious, some basic fight scenes.
I adore one of the character tho, she's cute and energetic.

One of the better shows of Autumn 2024.
The premise is - Shadowrun! It's like Cyberpunk, but with real magic and orcs and other fantasy beasts. If you favor this sort of things, you're going to like this right off the bat.
As for the elements, the story was interesting and the way that MC chose to re-gain the support in him to get back his powers was intriguing. At first when I saw it it was a letdown for me, because I was thinking the show is going to (unexpectedly) be all about this concept, but it ended up being just one of the things the MC does, which was great.
Characters were also great and the chemistry between MC and his companions was fun to watch.
Animation was really good - I've seen better for sure, but at least here it started good and stayed there more or less most of the time, with the occasional jump over that bar.
Soundtrack was good, though nothing spectacular.
All in all, it's a 8.5/10 IMO. I hope it gets an additional season, I want more of this.

male, blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., herono description set, humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., immortalityImmortality is the ability to live for an infinite or inconceivably vast length of time. Humans, whose life span is limited, have long sought ways to extend their lives. In fiction, immortals are not quite as uncommon as in real life, and the possible implications of endless or very long lives are often explored. While many may wish for immortality, it may be little more than a curse for the few who have it., swordA sword is a long, edged piece of metal, used as a cutting, thrusting, and clubbing weapon in many civilizations throughout the world. It fundamentally consists of a blade and a hilt, typically with one or two edges for striking and cutting, and a point for thrusting., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.

female, brown hairThe character has brown hair., chokerA choker is a necklace, narrow strip of cloth, ribbon, or other object that fits very closely around the neck. It is not to be confused with a collar, which, for humans and other human-like entities, is generally a collar-like accessory serving a restraint, identification, and/or display of submissiveness usage. Please see the description of the collar tag for more information on the distinction. Please also see this tag`s full description for other information on how to use it., green eyesThe character has green eyes., hair ribbonHair ribbons are ribbons used both as hair decorations and as hair ties. Hair ribbons are often tied into bows. They may also be present as part of a hairband. In older anthropomorphic series, where the gender of characters was sometimes hard to tell at first glance, ribbon bows were used to indicate a female character., humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., moleA mole, also called beauty mark, beauty spot, beauty patch, and sometimes birthmark, is a type of visible, circumscribed, chronic lesion of the skin or mucosa that may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Such marks are sometimes considered an attractive feature, hence the beauty-related names, and they are medically known as nevus (plural: nevi), from naevus, Latin for "birthmark". They are not to be confused with the animals commonly called moles., office ladyAn office lady, often abbreviated OL, is a female office worker in Japan who performs generally pink collar tasks such as serving tea and secretarial or clerical work. Like many unmarried Japanese, OLs often live with their parents well into early adulthood. Office ladies are usually full-time permanent staff, although the jobs they do usually have little opportunity for promotion, and there is usually the tacit expectation that they leave their jobs once they get married.
OL stock characters are frequently found in josei manga and anime, often portrayed as attractive, clever, and wistful individuals bored with their jobs, over-pressured by their families, and facing psychological issues., ponytailA ponytail is a hairstyle in which most or all of the hair on the head is gathered and secured at the back of the head with a hair tie, clip or similar device, and allowed to hang freely from that point.
