This parody series is like me when I decide to run. It's awesome at first, lots of energy, I’m running like I’m in a race, but then my energy starts to run out, my face turns red, I'm suddenly short of breath, I get a stitch in my side, and by the end I'm basically just crawling to the bench I want to sit on. Around Episode 8 this gave me a stitch in my side; Oguri did lift it up a bit, I was glad he was there, but once they got to town it stopped being interesting (=crawling to the bench) and I was basically just waiting to see when that clown of a demon king was going to get defeated. Still, it's a very creative series, and you'll enjoy it all the more if you like playing RPGs. Plus the English translation is quite good. Even the actors were great in their roles and I had a great time with them. I especially liked how every once in a while a well-known actor would appear playing a villain, then disappear into the unknown. Too bad about the last episodes, otherwise I would have given it a higher rating. Still, a better 3 stars. (10/04/2016)
