(*Note: The review of the first episode is copy-pasted from when I reviewed it for The Winter 2023 Preview Guide—which also includes two additional reviews of this episode from other ANN reviewers. The episode 2 and 3 reviews are completely new.)
Episode 1:
You know, despite reviewing every episode of the first season here on ANN and genuinely enjoying the series, I have to say I never expected a second season of The Misfit of Demon King Academy. After all, everything was tied up pretty well at the end of the season, with the false demon king’s goals and true identity revealed—as well as those of the manipulative puppet master looking to take advantage of the chaos.
And while I’m happy that the show is back, this wasn’t a very good season premiere. Oh sure, we got some great scenes…
