Watch Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun

2019
3 Seasons

Japanese manga culture has been a great source of story content for many internationally popular series, one of those being 'Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun'. A colorful and eccentric Japanese animation television series, it depicts comedy, adventure, and fantasy. Initially a manga series composed by Osamu Nishi, it was later adapted into an animated series by NHK in 2019. The continually evolving plot and interesting characters turn this series into an entertaining journey with elements of surprise around every corner.

The central figure of the storyline is a fourteen-year-old boy named Iruma Suzuki. The peculiar aspect of Iruma's life is his constant misuse by his irresponsible and selfish parents, who make him work to support their whims and fancies. One day in a sudden turn of events, Iruma's parents decide to sell him to a demon named Sullivan. This unexpected transaction initiates a new chapter for Iruma, as he transitions to a world drowning in macabre and weirdness – The Demon World.

Sullivan, who hasn't had a child of his own, becomes undeniably fond of Iruma and decides to embrace him as a grandson. While Iruma is terrified by the unforeseen situation, Sullivan enrols him into the Babyls' Demon School, hence the title 'Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun'. As the title suggests, the show is about Iruma's journey of survival and discovery within the demon world.

The show presents a unique storyline where Iruma has to conceal his human identity. If discovered to be a human, his life would be in grave danger since humans are considered as an exotic species in the Demon World. Furthermore, the irony of the scenario is that Iruma, despite being a human, quickly becomes popular among the terrifying demons because of a crucial twist in the story.

One unique aspect of the show is its blend of comedy and fantasy elements. Iruma's predicaments often lead to hilarious moments, breaking the serious overtones of a typical demon-themed show. The humor arises from Iruma's persistent efforts to remain unnoticed, his surprising promotions despite wanting the opposite, and his unintentional action of bewitching others at the demon school.

The picturesque animation, which typifies many Japanese animated series, provides a visual feast for the audience. 'Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun' presents extraordinary, eccentric, and thrilling scenes filled with vibrant colors, fantastic characters, and unusual creatures that successfully evoke the essence of a whimsical and frightening demon world.

The characters, with their distinct characteristics and backstories, make 'Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun' a perfect balance of likeable protagonists, ambiguous characters, and villains. Sullivan, with his warm and inviting nature, stands as a stark contrast to the conventional depiction of stone-hearted and evil demons. Additionally, there is a scene-stealing fiery redhead named Clara Valac whose enthusiasm knows no bounds.

The show skilfully portrays the growth in its characters, primarily Iruma, who evolves from being a compliant boy to becoming a more assertive individual. It is captivating to watch his interactions with his demon peers, his defiance against his predisposed mundane life, and his adoptive grandparent, Sullivan. Moreover, alongside Iruma's transformation, the show also explores themes of friendship, courage, adaptation, and self-growth.

The engaging plot-twists, coupled with perfectly timed humor and exciting elements of fantasy, make 'Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun' an unparalleled show. The series commands attention with its fascinating narrative, maintained by the unique world-setting, complex character relationships, stunning animations, and a soundtrack that complements the visual spectacle. It enthralls audiences of different ages with its mix of light-hearted entertainment and intriguing premises, making it a noteworthy part of the 2019 NHK lineup and anime sphere.

In essence, 'Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun' is a bright, lively, and convivial series. It is a delightful blend of colorful graphics, endearing characters, humor, fantasy, and coming-of-age content, which gradually unfolds into an enchanting tale that keeps you hooked from the beginning to the end. The fantastical world of demons, viewed from the eyes of a human teenager, provides a unique perspective, resulting in a series that is truly one-of-a-kind.
