Series in more sentences:
Dariel has long believed to be a demon and devoted his life to serving the armies of the general that took him in, but after the general's jealous son takes over and convinces everyone he's useless because of his inability to use magic, he's discarded and left to roam about without aim or purpose.
When he rescues a young girl from a monster attack, he's offered a new life at a regular human village, but it becomes clear that his departure caused many problems for the demons he left behind and everyone's out looking for him.
When the show started off telling me that demons are basically humans, just with magic abilities, I worried. When I saw humans using the power of "aura", so basically magic, I worried.
Stories that don't care to make clear distinctions tend to be really bad, but I happened to enjoy myself with this. Mostly. At the start.
The twist that Dariel was a good employee was cool, but to turn him overpowered anyway ruined it. A character that wins using his brain is infinite times more interesting and commendable than one that does so using strength. We have enough of the latter in fiction, especially anime.
The plot is alright in general, but as it progressed, I became less involved. Once intimidating characters are really quick at changing their tune when they meet Dariel, and it's hard to believe that a demon who's felt slighted and spent multiple years on proving and preparing himself drops his whole act after only a few words.
I don't regret watching, but I wouldn't watch again.
