English Dub Review: Demon Lord 2099 “The Demon Lord and His Vassals”

Overview:

Veltol learns of his former vassal Marcus’s betrayal firsthand. Meanwhile, Machina shows Veltol around the city. While Veltol struggles to adapt to the completely altered world of the future, Machina introduces him to someone.

Our Take:

Seeing Veltol have to answer the dreaded “Can you explain the gap in your resume?” question was hilarious because that boy has a five-hundred-year gap. At least he told the interviewer that he wasn’t resting on his laurels, it was instantaneous to him. This show isn’t framed as a comedy like The Devil is a Part-Timer?! is but it’s shaping up to be hilarious and I’ll tell you why.

Veltol deciding to be a streamer was not where I thought this series was going to go. I’m so hopeful that they lean into this and take it all the way because this could be the sleeper hit of the season if it’s handled right. Ian Sinclair playing a Demon Lord who decides to become a V-Tuber?! Sign me up! He does serious well enough but he does seriously silly even better and something tells me that is what we are going to have on our hands soon.
