I don't want to rehash the whole thing (it's pretty standard), but I'll go over the good (and the bad):
- In this world, "demons" are basically the same as humans except they have magic. However, humans have something that's very like magic, but based on one of four attributes (basically shielding, sword skill, a ranged skill and I forget what the other one is)
- The main protagonist, Dariel, was a human (though they didn't realise this and somehow just though he was a demon without magic) who was adopted by one of the four demon generals and raised as his son
- He's not a teenager!
- When the "real" son of the demon general takes over, he fires Dariel because he's obviously jealous of him. Dariel had been the assistant to the 4 generals and, honestly, was apparently how the whole Demon King's Army was running smoothly, as things start to fall apart as soon as he's sacked
- He soon discovers that he's really human when he winds up in a human village and not long after that, figures out he's a master of all 4 attributes -- so he goes from being the "outcast demon with no magic" to "OP human"
- There are too many boobs. The boobs are too big. They are, in fact, so big that they have little shiny highlights on them that are supposed to make them look rounder, I suppose...but actually just make them instead look like they all have weird whitehead zits that need to be popped. It's kinda gross.
- Dariel is, of course, the son of the former Hero with a capital H who went kinda berserk after he though his wife and son were killed. On the plus side for the demon general that took him in, he had no idea that Dariel was the hero's son OR that he was human
- The main villain is the "brother" who is a grade A ass the entire time and there's a small redemption arc for him at the end and...eh, I mostly just wanted to kill him. I mean, how genocidal do you have to be before people don't forgive you anymore??
- By the end, things are looking up between the demons and humans in part because of Dariel's son (there's a time skip that doesn't totally make sense story-wise, but I guess they needed the kid around) and two doting grandpas that used to be mortal enemies
- It's not really a harem. Not exactly. He marries this one totally OP girl (who's extreme strength is never explained) and while there's two female demon generals, one of which didn't want him fired in the beginning (but really never shows up in the show again), and the other who does run into him again and sometimes flirts with him, it seems like harmless flirtation rather than an actual harem situation. While the new hero female gets a little blush-y around him, they don't make much of it and he's very, very obviously married
- Possibly the best thing are the little Knockers, i.e. mine workers who look like little Jawas and are super loyal to Dariel
Anyway, it's a decent show. Honestly, if they reduced the boobage by half, it'd be really good. Hell, even reduced by half the boobs would still be too big. But am I glad I watched it? Yeah. I don't think I'd ever watch it again, but if a second season came out I would probably watch it.
