English Dub Review: Demon Lord 2099 “The Poor Student And The Exchange Student”

Overview:

Veltol, Machina, and Takahashi infiltrate Lu Xel under the pretense of a short-term exchange program so they can search for the regalia. When the three sit around a table in the school cafeteria, the school’s top student—Albert—begins provoking Hizuki Reynard-Yamada, the woman seated nearby.

Our Take:

Seeing Veltol at a high school was all that I hoped it would be but it went more or less like I thought it would. In anime you can spot a character that is going to be important from a mile away, take one look at Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh! and you can tell he’s the main character. So when I saw a girl with two different eye colors getting bullied right in front of Veltol I knew she was going to be important. Then Veltol decided to duel the bully on her behalf and force him to leave her alone which went exactly like you think it would.

One thing I didn’t see coming, and I’m surprised I didn’t, was that girl working at a maid cafe the gang visited. I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here by saying that I think Hizuki Reynard-Yamada will be an important character moving forward.
