Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii? (An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride) is getting an anime adaptation

Plot Summary:

Zagan is feared by the masses as an evil sorcerer. Both socially awkward and foulmouthed, he spends his days studying sorcery while beating down any trespassers within his domain. One day he's invited to a dark auction, and what he finds there is an elven slave girl of peerless beauty, Nephy. Having fallen in love at first sight, Zagan uses up his entire fortune to purchase her, but being a poor conversationalist, he has no idea how to properly interact with her. Thus, the awkward cohabitation of a sorcerer who has no idea how to convey his love and his slave who yearns for her master but has no idea how to appeal to him begins.

Ooooh Zagan and Nephy in anime form? That's nice.

[Frontier]

This is apparently a very sweet and fluffy romance! I'm in !

[Greenish Growth]

I'm pretty sure I read this before and yeah, it was indeed pretty cute.

We'll have the regular groups complaining about the setup though.

[Kamijou Touma IB]

Woohoo. I love the light novels so much. I am glad it is getting an anime.

[FlareKnight]

Sounds like it's worth giving a shot to. Will look forward to checking it out.

Correct; although I have heard the story does take place in a rather grimdark world, characters have tragic pasts and there are some dark plot developments that rear its head now and then.

Something to balance out the sweetness?

That works for me .

[~Yami~]

OOOHH Zagan and Nephy!!!! I'm excited. Even if the art or animation are bad, the story itself will propel this anime.

[Lex79]

I can already feel the love power.

[nojay]

Excellent news. I was just wondering when this series was going to get an anime.

Spoiler:

You can have Subaru (Yuusuke Kobayashi) reincarnate as a powerful sorcerer but you can't take away his love of beautiful white-haired elf girls or how painfully socially awkward he can be! Complete with Toshiyuki Morikawa narration !

The OP is pretty fun, with Zagan and Nephy and the cast of colorful characters they'll encounter over the course of their relationship all bouncing off of each other .

Ah yes, nothing says fantasy show like a woman getting her clothes torn up and in desperate need of saving...luckily Sorcerer Zagan is there to save her and traumatizes by crushing a dudes' head in front of her...but at least he cleaned up her face and clothes! Though he'll probably be the one to get the blame for it .

Zagan compared to other sorcerers seems to have at least some standards and likes to keep to himself, in contrast to his "buddy" Barbatos, but he loves his magical research and can't resist the possible bounty that is the legacy of deceased Archdemon Marchosias .

But what stands out to him the most and sets the course of his life...is falling in love at first sight with the elf in white (both hair and dress) that is at auction, to the point where he spends all his money just to buy her and be with her. Now if only he could stop talking like a stock evil sorcerer character when it comes to expressing himself .

Yeah...a castle with a bunch of torture devices definitely doesn't seem like the nicest place to take a girl or your future wife, it's no wonder Nephelia, or Nephy, voiced by Kana Ichinose thinks Zagan plans to just kill her and be done with her. And he doesn't really help his case most of the time even if he's just a dorky guy who doesn't know how to talk to the girl he likes !

Ah yes, no better way to confirm your virginity than by flashing your panties .

Seems like they both had pretty rough upbringings and no family to their name, which is something they can bond over .

But at least they were able to share an intimate moment, and even hold hands(!), while going up the stairs .

Okay, well...once the guillotine is cleared out, Nephy's new room is perfect! It even has a beautiful view of the night sky, one that leads to a genuinely nice moment between her and Zagan. While it was a bit of a awkward start, the pairs' new life together seems to be going well !

First episode was fairly interesting but I'm not sure if its going to get silly like the 'naughty things' series from a few seasons ago. I'll give it a couple more episodes at least.
