brother crab's fall 2024 first impressions: maou 2099

i think i forgot to make a post after the first ep because my first impressions of it were just. not that deep. i do remember going in with zero expectations and thinking hey this is actually better and more interesting than what i'd imagined! but it still wasn't That interesting

HOWEVER

SECOND EPISODE ELEVATED EVERYTHING

first of all peak bishounen demon lord design here. nothing revolutionary but a solid classic. 10/10 no notes

and like okay so the premise of a ye olden fantasy times demon lord being defeated then resurrected into a far future sci-fi world sounded really fun with the potential to be super funny. it made me think of paripi koumei which was basically incredible

the first ep was a little higher on the drama than the humor imo, but the second ep? second ep, the humor really hit

i'm absolutely loving the demon lord's extremely loyal, faithful follower who worked for centuries to resurrect him and is also his number one simp. like this poor girl almost got outed as a demon king otome doujinshi otaku. right in front of her demon king

demon lord's job hunt and the outcome of it is also just. i won't even spoil it because. hilarious. truly

the worldbuilding is also reasonably interesting, i think that was one of the things that impressed me most in the first episode

overall, really pleasantly surprised by this one and looking forward to more!

THE STORY. GUY #OF THE MANGA. AND MAIN CANON. SO THAT'S. UM. SOMETHING. TO ME #it was while i was looking at his credits that i noticed #he's credited with involvement on rhyme anima s1 but literally not at all on s2 #like gee the original scenario writer of hypmic main canon wasn't involved in rhyme anima s2?#I'M SHOCKED <- sarcastic guy #really cool that i kept saying it feels like s2 was not written by people who have read hypmic much less written it before #and was right 😑#anyway this is wildly off topic now lmao maou 2099 is great so far
