Funny, interesting and severely underrated, lv1room manages to cramp a lot of content in a very satisfying package. Even the action scenes, particularly those in the last couple of episodes, are way above average!
Though without its faults, I think this anime is a very solid watch that's unfortunately flying under the popularity radar due to its unconventional setting and slightly off-putting initial episodes.

It was alright I guess, but the most interesting part was the tiny glimmer of the former hero and the former demon lord becoming a couple, everything else felt fairly random and the ending was pretty stupid. I don't even know if it was worth watching.
Recommended only for fans of stupid Japanese humor I guess.

Comedy? Yes.
Romance? Yes?
The demon lord gets defeated by hero, returns to take revenge and ends up befriending this retired now "useless" hero is a good premise for a comedy. It also goes further as the brawny big demon lord is reborn as a chibi girl, that likes to cook as well as shapeshifting into the ideal looking woman for our hero to blend into society.
It has some good moments, a message about friendship, retirement and age, but overall it is a comedy with a small slightly strange romance with an overarching story that tries to be serious (and some shounen battle added into the mix).

main character
episode appearance

female, , blue hairThe character has blue hair., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls. In Eastern lore, on the other hand, they are generally supernatural, often but not always malevolent beings who can be more mischievous than actually evil, or simply supernatural spirits of no specific alignment., demon lordA demon lord, also called demon king, is the ruler of either all demons or a large group of them. Demon lords generally also rule over other evil monsters, which are commonly seen as "lesser" in contrast., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., pointy earsWell they are ears... and they are pointy... what`s more to say there?!, scarf tieA scarf tie is an item that would ordinarily be a scarf, but which is being used to tie a collar, typically a low-cut collar, well below the neck line, or attached in a similar way. Scarf ties are a common part of the sailor uniform frequently seen worn by Japanese schoolgirls. A scarf tie is not to be confused with a regular scarf; they should be treated separately. It is also not a ribbon tie; in fact, despite the name, a scarf tie is not a type of tie at all., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., shortDescribes a person with below average height.

male, , black hairThe character has black hair., Coke-bottle glassesCoke-bottle glasses are glasses with extremely thick lenses. As their name implies, they are reminiscent of the lens-like bottom portions of Coca-Cola glass bottles. In fiction, they are heavily associated with "nerdy" characters, and are generally displayed through one or more of the following characteristics: be entirely opaque, greatly reduce the size of the character`s eyes when seen through the glasses, or have a swirl pattern., herono description set, physically strongIn comparison to the norm, someone who is physically strong possesses superior, sometimes even unnatural, physical strength. Said strength usually allows them to win fights, or at least to last longer; stronger people are also normally able to withstand harsh conditions more easily than the rest, and even do things as simple as carrying heavy weights around. This tag also applies when a race is stronger than others (think the Sayajin), as long as said weaker races are also a part of the cast., spiked hairThe hair is styled up into spikes., stubbleThe regrowth of shaven body hair that is short and rough to the touch., swordA sword is a long, edged piece of metal, used as a cutting, thrusting, and clubbing weapon in many civilizations throughout the world. It fundamentally consists of a blade and a hilt, typically with one or two edges for striking and cutting, and a point for thrusting., t-shirtA T-shirt, or tee shirt, is a style of fabric shirt named after the T shape of its body and sleeves. Traditionally it has short sleeves and a round neckline, known as a crew neck, which lacks a collar. T-shirts are generally made of a stretchy, light and inexpensive fabric and are easy to clean.

This is a common fear among many human cultures, generally associated to the belief that spirits of the dead may be malignant and dangerous, for reasons ranging from simple mischief to a thirst for vengeance. In some cultures, the fear is considered typical of children, while in others it is normal for adults to exhibit this trait., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.

male, barefootThis character never seems to wear any shoes — possibly a martial artist that prefers to stay in close contact with the ground, or a girl from the country now living in the city.
Alas, under more dire circumstances this can also be a sign of real poverty., brown hairThe character has brown hair., fundoshiA fundoshi (褌) is formally a sumo wrestler`s ornamental apron, but it can also be used to refer to a string loincloth or g-string (which is more properly called an ecchuufundoshi 越中褌)., hair intakesHair intakes are a style of hair that creates twin forward-facing scoops, oftentimes in the form of hair bangs/fringe. This style of bangs/fringe in the shape of scoops often (but not always) create the appearance of an opening similar to an air intake vent, hence the name "hair intake"., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., muscularno description set, physically strongIn comparison to the norm, someone who is physically strong possesses superior, sometimes even unnatural, physical strength.

female, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., blue hairThe character has blue hair., blunt bangsBlunt bangs are a style of hair bangs, cut to have a uniform straight or gently arched edge at the end of the frontal fringe, without jagged edges, and minimal spikes., high heelsHigh heels are a type of shoe in which the heel, compared to the toe, is significantly higher off of the ground. These shoes make the wearer taller, accentuating the calf muscle and the length of the leg overall. There are many types of high heels, which come in different styles, colours, and materials, and can be found all over the world. They have significant cultural and fashionable meanings attached to them, which have been largely shaped by historical contexts over the past thousand years., hime cutA hime cut is a hairstyle consisting of straight, short (usually cheek-length to shoulder-length) sidelocks, and frontal bangs/fringe, specifically in the blunt bangs style. The short sidelocks ("hime locks") can be accompanied by longer sidelocks behind the hime locks, and still qualify the hairstyle as a hime cut. The defining feature is the layered or "staircase" look that is formed with the bangs and the short hime locks.
If the sidelocks are not distinct, it is likely a bob cut., necktieThe necktie (or tie) is a long piece of cloth worn around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat., real hornsAny size and number of bone appendices, appearing at the top of the character`s head (or other similar body part when applicable).
