Helck


After the demon king has been killed, a competition to replace him is being held. When Vermilio the red of The Four Heavenly Kings finds out that the Hero Helck is participating, she decides that the competion shouldn't consist of just fighting. To try and make him fail they hold random events like a card tower stacking competition, a cooking competition, as well as a horse race, but no matter what tricks they pull Helck always comes in first. For their final round to decide the demon king they decide to see who can take back one of the castles that had recently been taken over by winged warriors. To ensure their safety Vermilio goes with them as "Anne from management". What seemed like a simple competition at first turns dire when both Helck and Vermilio are sucked into a void that transports them to a completely different continent. Will they be able to get back in time to save the demon race?

I originally started Helck because the premise sounded similar to I'm Quitting Heroing. However, while Helck does start out changing sides to the demons thats basically where the similarities stop. Though It was enjoyable to see Helck and Anne travel to different villages and meet different races as they try and return to The Demon Empire. While there is some swearing, the language stays clean for most of the episodes. Everyone dresses modestly as well throughout it. If you are into world building fantasy anime, I would definitely suggest this.
