(Average) The Greatest Demon Lord is Reborn as a Typical Nobody

NOTE: Stopped watching after episode 7.

Series in one sentence:

The Greatest Demon Lord is Reborn as the Fucking Exact Same Overpowered Character.

Series in more sentences:

A once successful demon
lord regrets his life decisions and the companions he's lost, thus chooses to reincarnate and adapt a new, average life, hoping to make genuine friends.

Nevertheless, his habits and inherently powerful magic tend to set him on a familiar course, and those who experienced his past reign are quick to pick up on it.


What a stale end bread piece of a show. It's like it grabbed plot elements from other anime, without having the understanding what made them interesting. I couldn't help fast-forwarding the video after having read whatever subtitles showed on screen, the dialogue and events were that mediocre. I wanted to move on.

The main character is your cookie cutter, black-haired "hero boy", and the moment I saw him cast powerful spells, or really, spells at all, I was beyond disappointed. How is he a "typical nobody"? The title was the sole reason I wanted to give this show a try, but it's a literal lie.

The guy isn't even trying to be normal and stay off the radar, despite telling himself she should, and it's his flashy performances that grab the attention of the people that were once acquainted with his previous self.

Why not have him establish relationships with these people, whereafter they suspect him based on his mannerisms? Using powerful spells and exclusive techniques out in the open is such a lazy way of getting found out. It's a level of stupidity you'd expect a revered, ancient ex-ruler wouldn't possess.
How nerve-racking it would be when mighty enemies then learn that this regular human boy is the reincarnation of the one threat that haunted them.

But no, why would an anime not star an
overpowered main character, worshipped by everyone around them, am I right. I am right.
And of course, the show barely started and we already have a horny female character promoting polyamory to our male lead. Stay classy, anime!

This wronged succubus girl was real quick to show her true colours and it was revolting, nor did she add anything to the story. I hated it.
