My Review of "The Demon King’s Daughter is Too Kind!!"
Doux must be protected at all costs.
Story
Demon King Ahriman was once feared as the ruler of all demons. However, his current goal is to raise his daughter, Doux, to be a true demon so she’ll be ready to take up his spot on the throne. Unfortunately for him, Doux is too kind and generous to show signs of being a demon. She keeps befriending people that she meets and is unable to adjust to being evil. Ahriman assigns Jahi, the one Doux refers to as her older sister, to help Doux become evil. To do this, Jahi runs her own personal trials on Doux, challenging her to think and act mischievously towards others. This show showcases these trials and the connections Doux makes along the way.
The Good
This is a fun children’s anime done right. It’s not overly childish to where older audiences can’t enjoy the silliness of it, but it also does enough to feel like a children’s show. Doux’s personality is contagious even outside of the show and she’s definitely a character worth protecting. The little songs in each episode were sometimes catchy and really added to the vibes the show was going for. The animation was also fairly good for this show, not noticing too many sliding photos or stuff of that kind. I honestly liked the OP and ED of this anime. Although I wouldn’t put it on my playlist, it was just nice to sing along and get you in the right mindset when watching this anime. The story lacked drama and villains, which I thought made this anime better simply because adding either of those elements would’ve probably ruined the vibes of this show for me. This was a pretty good children’s anime and despite not being a child, I liked watching this a lot.
The Bad
To be honest, I didn’t find anything bad about this anime. I thought this didn’t have any significant problems for what this show aimed to be. If I really had to be nitpicky, I would argue that certain side characters deserved more time. I feel like characters like Asshim or Thaiti deserved more screentime because of the episodes that gave them character. Another nitpick for me was that Dahaka should’ve shown up earlier in the show because of her importance in terms of her connection with the MC, Doux. I kind of understand why they would show her so late into the show, but I feel like they showed her so many times in the OP and ED that she should’ve played a bigger role in the story. These were the small nitpicks I had from the show and I don’t think they took too much out of the story for me.
The Downright Ugly
How could something be downright ugly about this anime?
Is It Worth The Watch?
If you love wholesome and silly children's anime, this is definitely worth a watch. This show was my hopecore of the season and was one of the shows that left a smile on my face with each episode. It didn’t need antagonists or massive drama to fuel the story and succeeded with simple bits and moments that warranted a smile or two.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. If you enjoyed this review, I would greatly appreciate a follow too! ^^
