Ever felt like you were born into the wrong era? Imagine being so powerful you're literally the Demon King, reborn after 2,000 years, only to find out everyone thinks you're... well, a misfit. That's the hilarious premise of The Misfit of Demon King Academy!
This isn't your typical dark and brooding demon lord story. Instead, get ready for a protagonist, Anos Voldigoad, who's ridiculously overpowered and utterly unfazed by societal expectations. It's like Superman enrolling in kindergarten, except instead of trying to blend in, he’s subtly flexing his cosmic muscles.
So, Where Can You Catch Anos's Antics?
Luckily, you don’t need a magical portal to travel to the demon realm (or a pricey subscription to a niche streaming service). The Misfit of Demon King Academy is pretty accessible.

Other Streaming Services: Keep an Eye Out!
While Crunchyroll is the primary home, sometimes anime pops up on other services like Hulu or Funimation (which is now part of Crunchyroll anyway!). Double-check if you already have a subscription somewhere else.
Why You Should Give It a Watch
Okay, so you know where to watch it, but why bother? The story is surprisingly heartwarming. Anos, despite his immense power, values friendship and loyalty above all else.
He's not just about destroying his enemies; he's about understanding them, and often, convincing them to join his side! He's like a chaotic, demonically handsome diplomat.
The humor is top-notch. Anos is so nonchalant about his power that he often delivers the most devastating blows with a casual shrug. His deadpan delivery makes even the most intense battles hilarious.
Plus, the animation is gorgeous, especially during the magic battles. Visual spectacle is an important element in this story. The creators definitely delivered.
Forget tired tropes. This show subverts expectations at every turn. It’s a breath of fresh air in the isekai genre.
