why is this anime still in the top 20? I don't get it! Its kinda like rurouni kenshin slightly overrated and i know coz i have seen it. Ushiro no Daimaou leaves alot to be desired in some points - after a while it gets irritating because there does not seem to be an actual point to all of it. The poor sod just gets into trouble with girls who have wacked up emotions. sorry ne but this anime just won't fly

this started off all fun with good action with a bit of fanservice. somewhere around the end it lost track and became dumb and boring.

This was a really good anime, but it felt like it didn't reach the potential that it could have obtained. I felt like it could have been so much better and gone on maybe a little longer, and keeping its enjoyment through out. It gets a 4 cause we only are basing it off the 4 categories, but with the way it ended, and the times it did confuse you I just felt maybe 4 is slightly to generous for an anime that had potential to be a 5.

While it looks like Ichiban is yet-another-harem anime, it's actually not and the few girls do make sense. There is good humor between the characters and good us of the "fish out of water" scenarios at the beginning. The action stays pretty quick and consistent throughout the series.

Overall a fun watch! I'd recommend it.

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou started good but the second half was to serious.

The idea behind the story is original but I think the story could use some changes. I wouldn't have mind if there wasn't as much fighting and the main character wasn't so powerful. More school life, less big fights.

The conversations were entertaining because of the different types of (cliché) characters. I think some of the characters should even have gotten a little more screen time.

The animation is what I would have expected from a recent anime.

this started off very good with a great balance of romance, comedy, ecchi, characters etc. but soon jumped the shark in the second half where a LOT happened in a SHORT time. so it became rushed, stupid, boring, underdeveloped and overall uninteresting and mediocre.

so overall, had a good start but needed to be 25 or so episodes for the second half to be expanded upon greatly.

Well, this one is a bit tricky..

The plot itself has the potential to be a great anime and it surely is up to episode 6/7. The first 6 episodes are fantastic, extremely funny and (of course) ecchi. Akuto Sai and the other characters are well chosen.
In this episodes u get the whole omg-he-is-the-demonlord-and-will-kill-us-all-e.g.-thing a lot.
As i said these are very good and u surely can laught a lot.


Starting from the middle of the anime it turns, well.. weird. A "sidecharacter" turns into a superhero with lasers and that kind (read more)

This anime is one of the few that was able to hold my attention from beginning to end. The animation was fantastic and the characters each had their own personality and story and the regular pantie shots as well as the many perverted scenes in the show managed to be quite humorous rather than dirty. On the other hand, this show also felt too rushed as you got into the middle of the series and the ending seemed all too soon. The story could have been explored more thoroughly and the ending just left me confused and wanting more. Overall i was pleased (read more)

This anime seems to have a lot of potential, but they had to rush the entire serie into 12 episodes which is really a bad idea imo.

Story good (4/5):

Surprisingly, we have an already overpowered character as the protagonist and right now (episode 9.. 3 episodes left) we still don't have the feeling that the character is some kind of power lust psycho like in traditional fighting anime (Bleach, Naruto...). Each character has his/her own unique personality. The ecchi part of the anime is kind of exaggerating (If you watch the Uncensored version) (read more)

The premise of the story about the Dark Lord is quite a nice touch. There are certainly plenty of funny parts to keep you watching and its silly along with having big explosions. Lots of censoring in it, done in a funny manner but I'd always thought if their not gonna show it then just hint at it instead of having to cover it, though the censor blots come with funny little tags. All around something good if your looking for an anime to watch in general.
