"Feed Me!" - Prince Laharl


Prince Laharl woke up after an inadvertent two year nap, after being jostled awake by an angel-trainee. Flonne, said angel, was sent as a trainee-angel assassin to take down Laharl's father, and stumbles upon Laharl's casket in a trash heap. His irritation with her presences starts with his understanding of her mission, and increases as the show goes on. Her attitude of love grates against his demon self. A few new characters pop up, including an intergalactic human group sent to save the world against demons, a vassal named Etna, and an irritating demon of love. Etna shows herself to be completely committed to helping Laharl take his rightful place as Overlord, but has some sneaky intentions behind his back. This all-ages cartoon series has traditional morality lessons, and an emphasis on love and friendship.

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. I guess in my search for different series ideas, I stumbled upon a recommendation to give this a try. It was a terrible idea. I used one of my usual mediums for watching anime, and I assumed that it meant that everything available would be what I usually find, but I found myself watching what seems to be very "Saturday Cartoon." Honestly, I'm just not that interested in this type of cartoon anymore. I probably would've liked it more if I was ten again.

That's primarily how it got an All Ages rating. I didn't see anything anywhere that might be offensive. There is some illusion to one of the satellite females being well-endowed, so maybe screen it first, but enh. Actually, I might recommend this to that age group, parents included. It just wasn't for me. I had to grit my teeth to get through it. It may have been relatively well done, kinda, but it also wasn't something that made me forget that it was what it was. I've seen younger-style anime, and they were good enough that I just didn't care, this however was not.
