DVD Review: Just plain fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I have to admit that I have also not seen the US release of this anime...however, I am going to highly recommend it anyway based on the Japanese version of the show.
Yuuri, a normal 15 year old Japanese boy, while trying to defend a friend from bullies gets warped into another world through a toilet...okay, you're probably thinking, "what the....?" I thought so too, but then I watched. Once over in that "other world" there are so many great characters and great stories, you get hooked in right away. Yuuri is actually the "maou" of this world, the king of the demons. He has dormant powers he never knew existed. In this world, the humans are actually ganging up on the demons...hmmm...There are a LOT of boy-boy relationships in this anime...be forewarned if that bothers you at all, for me, I love it. If you loved Gravitation, you will KKM! There are definately enough different types of guys for all of us fangirls out there. Yuuri, the hero, everyone wants him, girls and guys alike, but he is standoffish about his true feelings...we just have to wait and see what happens to him. Conrad, the big brother, cool, calm and collected type, completely dedicated to Yuuri in all aspects. Wolfram is the adorable, young boy, who is so beautiful he could pass as a girl, but he is strong, though a bit childish, through certain circumstances he becomes Yuuri's fiance. Gwendal is stern to the point of having a look of complete disgust on his face at all times, but he has a secret soft spot for cute animals^^ Finally, there is Gunter, who is the brains, very, very dedicated to Yuuri, a bit of a cry baby, but also very strong when times call for it. Yuuri captivates the hearts of all of the above in his own, naive way. Along the way there are many more characters, though these are the most worth discussing. The "other world" is very middle ages feeling, and though the story is ultimately about the "moau" saving this world and bringing peace, it really revolves around the relationships that form between these characters.
All together, this is a great story and a great watch. Though it is long at 39 episodes, that's okay...you won't even realize the time is slipping by while you watch. There have been no boring moments.
Description of Kyo Kara Maoh - God (?) Save Our King! ( Vol. 1)
An off-the-wall mixture of comedy, bishonen (beautiful boys), and fantasy, Kyo Kara Maoh! plays like an episode of Escaflowne staged by the cast of Gravitation. Yuri Shibuya is a nerdy high school student whose only real love is baseball. When a group of thugs shove him into a park toilet, he's transported to a parallel world whose inhabitants hail him as their long awaited Demon King. Life is very different in this alternate reality: Yuri slaps the noble Wolfram for an insult--and wins him as a fiancé. When Yuri protests they're both boys, he's told "that's not unusual here." Although his magical powers are largely untested, Yuri has a strong sense of justice and works to become a good king. Despite his many inadequacies ("I can barely tie my shoes!"), Yuri radiates a good-natured warmth that will appeal to fans of Love, Hina and Dokkoida.
