When The Misfit of Demon King Academy first stormed onto the scene, it was like a breath of fresh air in the overcrowded isekai genre. Anos Voldigoad, the reincarnated Demon King who defies logic with every step, became an instant icon—not just for his overwhelming power, but for his sheer charisma. Now, with Season 2 (split into two cours), the series returns, promising even more over-the-top battles, mind-bending magic, and Anos being… well, Anos.
But does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive into what fans are saying—and whether this season is a worthy successor or just riding on the coattails of its predecessor.
Season 2 picks up after Anos has (somewhat) stabilized the world, preventing war between demons and humans. But peace is boring for a Demon King, right? Enter the “Child of God,” a new antagonist who literally destroys the concept of the Demon King of Tyranny. Yeah, it’s as wild as it sounds.
Fans have mixed feelings about the pacing. Some argue that the first half of the season feels rushed, cramming in new villains and lore without enough breathing room. Others love the non-stop action, claiming it’s exactly what made Season 1 so addictive. One Reddit user put it perfectly: “Anos doesn’t do slow burns. He walks in, breaks the universe, and leaves. That’s the appeal.”
The second cour, however, seems to have won over more critics. With deeper dives into Anos’ past and the introduction of Avos Dilhevia (a character shrouded in mystery), the story gains emotional weight. MyAnimeList reviewers note that the latter episodes “finally balance the chaos with some heartfelt moments, making the stakes feel real.”
If there’s one thing The Misfit of Demon King Academy nails, it’s style. The animation (courtesy of Silver Link) remains crisp, with magic battles that are pure eye candy. The over-the-top spells, like “Giorl Giovanna” (yes, that’s a JoJo reference), are ridiculous in the best way possible.
But not everyone’s sold. Some fans on Anime-Planet argue that the fights, while visually stunning, lack tension because “Anos is basically invincible.” It’s a valid critique—when your protagonist can rewrite reality with a snap, where’s the suspense? Yet, others counter that “the fun isn’t in whether Anos wins, but how he flexes on everyone while doing it.”
The school-life elements, a staple of the series, also get mixed reviews. While some enjoy the lighter moments (like Anos trolling his classmates), others feel they’re just filler between fights.
Anos remains the star, and fans wouldn’t have it any other way. His confidence borders on parody, but it’s impossible not to root for him. As one Twitter user joked, “Anos could trip and fall, and he’d somehow make it look like he meant to do it.”
The supporting cast, however, is where opinions split. Misha and Sasha get more screen time, and their dynamic with Anos is endearing. But new characters like Avos Dilhevia and Eleonore are polarizing. Some love their tragic backstories, while others think they’re “just there to make Anos look cooler.”
The Misfit of Demon King Academy II isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. It’s a power fantasy through and through, and it owns that identity with pride. If you loved Season 1, you’ll likely adore this one—flaws and all.
But if you’re looking for deep storytelling or high stakes, this might not be your cup of tea. As one reviewer summed it up: “It’s like fast food—not gourmet, but damn satisfying when you’re in the mood for it.”
Rating: 8/10 (for sheer entertainment value alone).
Now, excuse me while I rewatch Anos obliterating another godlike being with a smirk. Some things never get old.
