English Dub Review: I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level: “We Beat Up a Demon King”

Overview: Azusa (Skyler Davenport) attempts to convince the demon king, Provat Pecora Allieres, to clear Halkara (Xanthe Huynh) of her transgressions on account of her clumsiness. In order to do so though, the witch must engage in one on one combat with the demonic loli girl, but what comes out of the match is unexpected and more than the sorceress bargained for.  

Our Take: I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years has no problem putting Azusa’s abilities on full display and showing how ridiculously overpowered she is.  Her tearing through the cannon fodder that is Provat’s forces was comically enjoyable as ever with their. These scenes were a bit schlocky looking honestly with them looking pretty stiff. When the battle between her and Provat ensues, thankfully, it does begin to pick up though. The animation quality of the fight is not quite as strong as Azusa’s bout with the blue dragons with there noticeably not as much fluidity. With that being said, the show does a good job of showing the intense overwhelming strength of both Azusa and Provat. And in a twist that is quintessentially Maxed Out My Level, Provat rightfully has a weird obsession with being dominated physically and emotionally. Truthfully, I am all here for all the absurd, wacky aspects about characters because that is when the series is truly at it’s best in Azusa’s animated reactions and interplay with various personalities. Allieres gushing over Azusa is nothing short of ridiculously hilarious and the kind of hijinks I enjoy out of the comedic slice of life. 

Another surprise as it was surprisingly enough not hinted at in the title is the arrival of yet another new member to Azusa’s family in that of the blue dragon member, Flatorte. Overall, it’s the same old recruitment as always. A new person comes along that eventually gets enamored with Azusa and her kindness, ends up staying with her, vowing to stay by her side. In which they then end with an emotional scene that signifies their bond. Although, at least Flatorte’s rivalry with Laika should make for some great chemistry as indicated by their humorous  bickering rapport with one another. While it’s pretty basic and follows the same formula to a t in the story department, if you are hungry for something that continuously feels good and does it continuously well enough, this will be a good pick-me-up. 

“We Beat Up a Demon King” offers a good entry with the demon king Provat proving to be a great conduit for fun, hysterical hijinks not to mention great humor throughout that is enjoyable from start to finish.
