The Seiken Gakuin no Makentsukai/Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy light novel series is getting an anime adaptation.

Plot:

Quote:

Awakening from magical stasis after a thousand years, the Dark Lord Leonis suddenly finds himself in the body of a ten-year-old boy! He quickly meets Riselia, a girl confronting the Voids, creatures that have nearly exterminated humanity. Determined to uncover the mysteries of this strange new era, Leonis enrolls in Excalibur Academy, a school that trains students to fight back against these enigmatic monsters. Could the Voids hold some connection to Leonis's past?

Just how many of these damn things are there, anyway?

Frontier · 2021-10-20, 23:21

I only have experience with the author's Blade Dance of Elementalers, so I'm not sure what to expect, but I hope the anime is a stronger adaption than Blade Dance was

Well hey...it's not an isekai. At least it doesn't sound like it. Though I find it funny how Demon Lords reincarnating into the future has become a thing

. I guess this isn't exactly reincarnation or there's something more to it, but whatever.

No idea if it will be anything good or just mediocre. The setup could definitely go either way. Doesn't really excite me, but I could check it out.

This sounds like something I read, but I can't find it in my bookmarks.

I'm think I'm just confusing it with all the Reincarnating Maous web novels that I've read so far. It's easy to confuse them all. They all blend together except for that ridiculous Overpowered Baby Maou one.

That picture looks familiar though.

More than stars in the sky...

Instead of fighting it, just have fun, you know? Like botched horror movies.

I hope Silver Link animate it

Does the author ever reference his other work (Blade Dance of Elementalers) in this series?

The manga felt rather average to me after 15 chapters so I passed on it. Hopefully the anime will be more involving. I guess it'll really depend on how much I feel like following the female characters. The male lead wasn't very interesting.

Perfect series for Passione

The anime will come out on TV Tokyo, maybe that explains the censorship on the characters' bodies.

FlareKnight · 2023-07-24, 22:40

I kind of like the twist here. This time the Demon Lord is restarting...after he lost. Wasn't a move for peace or anything else. Looks like he straight up lost the war and reincarnating was the only escape. Kind of fitting he's now among humanity who is also in a losing situation. But I don't think reincarnating out of it will be his play this time.

Honestly I'm getting excited for this. The trailer was a good mix of solid action, bit of ecchi, and some solid comedic moments. This could definitely work.

tsunade666 · 2023-07-25, 06:16

HMM HMMM...... If I remember it right, this works is from the same author of seirei tsukai no blade dance (not sure) but I lost interest when I saw the tag as SHOTA (sh*t-A) to me.

Seems harem-y, but that was more fun than I expected. Probably picking this up unless it faceplants the next couple episodes.

magnuskn · 2023-10-02, 16:53

This was unexpectedly enjoyable. Gets two more episodes to see if it continues being good.

Frontier Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2013	Spoiler: It's a tale as old as time...humanity battling against the Demon King, throwing everything they have at him, except this time the protagonist very much is the Demon King himself (voiced by Daisuke Hirakawa?) who seals himself up with the odds stacked against him for the sake of his Goddess . So if I'm understanding right, Leonis used to be the Hero but died and was revived to serve as a Demon King for Roselia, a Goddess rebelling against the other Gods? And he was probably in love with her? And now he has to seek out whomever has been bestowed with her power in the current era ? Well, you don't always get two cute girls with short skirts prowling around the ruins of your castle searching for some remnants of ancient society or the crystal monsters they're fighting against...but hey, Yui Ishikawa! Selia seems like a very earnest and kindhearted girl. But considering she was able to undo the seal to the door, could she be whom Leo was looking for ? On the one hand, the Demon King has resurrected as a 10-year old. On the other hand, it's Marina Inoue as the new Leonis and being a shota gets you in with the ladies since it brings out their affectionate side and they have no qualms about hugging you and nestling your face into their chest. And Selia has quite the bosom . "Holy Sword" - very loosely swords because they seem to become whatever best fits their users' personality, which in Regina's case is a bunch of big cannons. I wonder if we'll see Selia get her Holy Sword ? So "Unified Human Calendar" - the age of the Gods ended? Or was that what Leonis' enemies were fighting for the whole time? Seems like a lot happened while he was asleep . The Void seem to be some kind of warped distortion of creatures from Leonis' age back when magic was commonplace, but they look nothing like their namesake. You do have to wonder where they're all coming from . Dang, poor Selia. The Main Heroine died in the first episode. Good thing her charms grew on Leo . Good to know Leo's magic is still powerful even if it's only a third of his power in his prime, but at least it's enough to destroy some Voids. Will he get his own Holy Sword now or just pass of his staff and magic as his Holy Sword ? What proper lady in a Harem Battle Magic School show is complete without her cute and sassy maid? Regina's even voiced by Aya Suzaki! And flirtatiously teasing Leo who now has the hormones of a 10-year old, poor kid . Looks like the Demon King is about to throw in his lot with the last remnants of humanity battling the Voids . __________________

Bugfragged Member Join Date: Oct 2014	Spoiler for ep 1: Just like with the source material, I didn't really like the senseless sacrifice trope being used. This is like when Kazuma threw himself in front of a slow tractor and died of shock, only played seriously. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth for some reason. I would have preferred that she gets killed in the process of unsealing Leonis instead of afterwards, since it's implied that she's the only one who could open that door.
