Ichiban Ushiro no Daimao - Episode 1


I started this anime today. It's really good, funny, and interesting. I just watched the first episode and I'm going to watch the other 3 today. So far I like it very much. 

At the start of the series we see a woman dropping off a covered baby in what seems to be a church. I'm not sure who the baby is as of yet but I think it's safe to assume it's Akuto Sai




The main character of the series is Akuto Sai a young man whose just transferred to Konstantin Magical Academy. Transfer students are rare as the series says and for Akuto Sai to be part of the school must mean he's exceptional. 



He meets a girl, Junko Hattori while he is on his way to the train that goes to the school. He begins helping an old woman who dropped her things and while he is helping her Hattori appears and attacks him thinking he is trying to harass her grandmother. The grandmother explains then Hattori apologize although it isn't a very heartfelt one. 





While on the train they swear that they will make the world a better place. Akuto Sai's ambition is to be a high priest, A popeish figure in the series. Hattori is taken aback and first and tells him he can't make a single mistake, even littering is enough to disqualify him, but he is determined. When they arrive at school they hope Akuto Sai is in homeroom 1-a, the same as Junko Hattori and they go their separate ways. Akuto is met by Mitsuko Torii, the doctor and researcher of the school, who also happens to be the teacher of homeroom 1-a.




Akuto is sent into another room where other transferred students are located and a magical mechanical bird that tells students what their future occupations are to be. The bird has a great track record and always picks to correct job and the job the student has always wanted; however, that is not the case for poor Akuto Sai






He is chosen to be the demon lord! Poor Akuto Sai who wanted to be a high priest is destined to become the second coming of the demon lord, the man who caused much destruction 100 years ago. From then on, as you can see from the picture above, everyone becomes terrified, except for one boy. Hiroshi Miwa, Akuto's self proclaimed minion. 




An annoyed Junko challenges Akuto to a duel. She felt betrayed and fooled and believes Akuto's real aim wasn't to be a high priest but to be the demon lord. While they are fighting Akuto releases a powerful explosion which destroys the classroom despite Mitsuko creating a type of barrier around them. Junko beaten is laying on the floor unconscious.

Later in the episode Akuto uses Hiroshi's advice and sneaks around the back of the girls dorm and climbs up to Junko's window so he can apologize. This doesn't go over well as other students yell that they heard they tried to commit suicide together and other ridiculous accusations. Junko jumps out and begins to attack him again. He runs into the forest and is met by Keena Soga who apparently loves his body. The episode ends with Junko in a murderous frenzy launching an attack and Keena jumping to protect Akuto. As she holds on to Akuto's body he releashes another explosion, this one, massive since it's not held back by a barrier like the first one. Again we see Junko laying unconscious. When another girl, Korone, a observer, appears.

From what I've seen this anime holds great promise. The story is fun and engaging and if you like harem, this seems to be the way to go. If you don't like harem  but like magic and comedies, you should consider watching it.
