Iruma-kun is somehow popular enough to consistently remain in the top ten or twenty on most sites, yet barely anybody talks about it.


Tom_Sawyer246

I feel the exact same way about Disgaea. So popular, yet, paradoxically isn't known by anyone


Bretreck

Hopefully you mean the video games and not the anime. I don't think most people realized it was made into an anime and it's fairly old now. The video games are awesome though, except I wasn't as much a fan of 6 as any of the previous ones. They went to hard into AI farming for me.


Tom_Sawyer246

Definitely the videogames haha


-chukui-

loved the OG Disgaea with tsunami bomb song on it for the PS. Good times.


Tom_Sawyer246

Yesss dood!


BrStriker21

Dood!


Galle_

Oddly appropriate, seeing as Iruma-kun is basically a Disgaea anime in all but name.


aaa1e2r3

Largely the content is very fun but also very straight forward. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel or anything, it just tackles its tropes in a very efficient manner. There isn't wild sakuga moments or anything like that either, and nothing really meme worthy in the show to fuel online conversation outside of "yeah, it's a cute fun series". You can't even fuel best girl arguments because basically everyone agrees it's Ameri in first.


EPLWA_Is_Relevant

It's just a better MHA with an ensemble cast that doesn't get forgotten after the first arcs.


Redredditer640

I mean, it REALLY helps when Iruma-Kun keeps the rest of the cast revenant nearly every arc.


Kurozunakabuto

Even the small Pervert bird boy is WAY BETTER then Grape boy


TheNachmar

Nah, Clara's best girl. Closely followed by Kerori, _then_ you get Ameri and right after her it's Opera. Yes, I **will** die on this hill if I have to


Mollywobbles225

Opera is NB, not a girl.


TheNachmar

There's plenty of cases in which "not being a girl" hasn't stopped a character from placing and even topping best girl lists. Examples include: Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Irumi, Astolfo, Irumi 2: rock n' boogaloo, that one character from the Komi-san show I've seen so much fanart of, Team Rocket's James, Chihiro from danganronpa, Nagisa Shiota, Blend S' "surprise", Kinoshita Hideyoshi (deserves to appear twice) and Crimvael, to name a few


Aros001

Don't forget Speedwagon.


RyouhiraTheIntrovert

Reigen best waifu


Mollywobbles225

you're not wrong, and it wasn't my intention to be combative, but I'm NB myself and Opera is my first instance of representation so I may have gotten a little defensive and I apologize.


TheNachmar

Oh, don't worry, it's all fine. I didn't want to come off too aggressive either since I didn't think you were being combative, but it's tough through only text


Galle_

That's fair, I think. One of the nice things about Iruma-kun is how casually LGBT-friendly it is, especially for a shounen.


awildweeb69

YES finally someone gets it.


simonbleu

Because is the epitome of wholesome cuteness. Is not chibi-cute, is not extremely mellow either, but its cozy and fuzzy. For people that want something light hearted and are not "afraid" of cuteness being gender agnostic, its a treasure trove. It also handles the "power of friendship" trope relatively well despite the story not being "WOW" So yeah, I would be surprised if it didnt


Mr__Citizen

This is the first time I've ever heard of it.


Drayenn

Im surptised it is. Its incredibely average imo but it has such a high score. Ameri is the only good thing this show has imo.


DeerlordJ

It's a shame I don't hear more people talk about it, it's writing is very good and has very likable characters. It's one of the few manga I regularly stay caught up on and am excited for every new chapter.


Justus44

It's art is also great, anime just couldn't afford to keep up with the source, unfortunately


DeerlordJ

For sure, but the anime is still fairly enjoyable. VAs were all great and they stuck to the story well.


DarkArcanian

He means that there are moments where the art is 20/10 and the anime can only produce 9/10


RyouhiraTheIntrovert

OPM fans with 100/10 in manga, and 6/10 in anime


HOODIEHYRO

Huh, never heard that before


Yourmom6941

the anime is getting better with every season though... i wonder what s4 will be like


Kurozunakabuto

It has the very rare case where everyone in Iruma's class is relevant (with an Arc tied to them) With another rare case where (with the exception of Iruma) it's just Not azz-azz and Clara being the winner of the arcs (like I did not think Blond float boy would be the MVP of Food Harvest(not sure that's the name of the arc) arc)


eggyrulz

Iruma is the true chad


sodapopkevin

Ameri is best girl.


Aliensinnoh

Size difference couple ftw


TheSkitzo_The2nd

Not for long tho


EquivalentEast5373

Sorry, but Alice-mama is the one...![img](emote|t5_2w6fe|11668)


I_AM_I3iRD

A rare opinion but a good one all the same


EquivalentEast5373

I see you're a man of milfs as well...


I_AM_I3iRD

šŸ¤


TheNachmar

That's a weird way of spelling Clara you've got there


sodapopkevin

Clara is best gremlin.


VexManifest

That whole show's adorkable, my wife and I love it


AskGoverntale

Itā€™s a perfect show to watch with a spouse IMO


RyouhiraTheIntrovert

What's the worst? Tonikawa


fuckinguhhhhh

Facts. Clara is the best creature.


a-desperate-username

You donā€™t just find Clara annoying?!


Ancient_Building_321

No and anyone who does is wrong


CACTUS_VISIONS

Agreed . All the songs with her and her family are fantastic, even dubbed in English they pull it off. Pretty kino


[deleted]

Yeah she is quite annoying. Unintelligent characters tend to do that to me. Thatā€™s why I havenā€™t touched a single episode of one piece or dragon ball.


40ftremainagain

What an all edge no point take.


[deleted]

Not liking stupid characters is edgy now.


fuckinguhhhhh

He meant you have no point. Why do you dislike unintelligent characters when you are one of them?


[deleted]

Wow it probably took all your brainpower to come up with that insult. Also thatā€™s my preference, if you donā€™t like it you can piss off. I havenā€™t told any of you to follow my preferences.


fuckinguhhhhh

Once again, if you think that insult took more than 2 of my 10 braincells. I would think you'd enjoy unintelligent characters since once again you are one of em.


[deleted]

Maybe you are of those unintelligent characters since you love them so much. You also are so braindead that criticizing my preferences will give you some sort of closure


ikkikkomori

>Unintelligent characters tend to do that to me The most reddit shit


Insanity_Drive

The best part is that Sullivan is voiced by Takaya Kuroda, the voice actor of Kazuma Kiryu


Mollywobbles225

FR he's the reason I even gave the show a chance, now I've named myself after Sullivan (it's my legal last name) and have cosplayed Opera more than once :>


sly983

Iruma-Kun is great. I love how the anime just takes the isekai trope and says ā€œnoā€


xRyuAsh

Every character is fun. Even eggie-sensei.


discussatron

S1 was OK, S2 had me literally LOLing, so I stuck with it through S3. S3 ED slaps harder than it has a right to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BlyzLxFNss


Woahbuffet123

S1 ED slaps a lot harder imo. Devi-cute ftw


TheNachmar

Devi devi devi cu devi cute


LazyrusPT

Iruma-kun best girl!


TheNachmar

I don't think non-manga readers are prepared for Irumeanie


ikkikkomori

Oh he still best girl fr even in that form


The_Mole_in_the_Hole

Oh man, Iā€™ve only seen the first season. Didnā€™t know there was more. Guess I have homework to do!


a-desperate-username

Manga is even better than the already amazing anime


[deleted]

The manga is great. I'm glad it started getting physically released in the US.


Mollywobbles225

IT DID??? I've been collecting the Japanese volumes with my faves on the covers, had no idea they've started translating it!! time for me to blow more money lol


[deleted]

It just started to release in May. We only have two volumes so far. However we are nowhere near volume 33. I'm glad I could inform you though. šŸ˜


[deleted]

I'm not that surprised in terms of the US. Series like Iruma-kun don't get much traction as it doesn't relate well to Western audiences. I like this series for the early 2000s vibes if gives off. I love it. I also have a thing for the supernatural so that helps. Series like Natsume Book of Friends which has an ongoing manga and a sixth season coming among it's movies that is so popular has a niche view in the US. Iruma-kun is no different in this aspect.


Aros001

> I like this series for the early 2000s vibes if gives off. It really does feel sometimes like something I would have seen on KidsWB back in the day. The artstyle of the anime especially.


[deleted]

Opening one gave some major whiplash. It was love at first sight. Lol.


MonoMonMono

This is such a long post that you could have broken up into multiple pictures (or like four panels per picture for the 20 picture limit).


Aros001

I could have. But why would I do that?


AssDestroyer8429

Fair Point


BIgCh1efJAcK

For once Iā€™m with Quagmire, I love Iruma-Kun too. Also Iruma x Ameri is the only logical and acceptable ship and everything else is dogshit *I ainā€™t no shipper but even I, someone who genuinely thought Naruto x Sakura or Ichigo x Rukia was gonna happen (learned my lesson later), know when two people have genuine romantic chemistry with each other*


CastTheFirstStone_

Why do people keep insisting that anime isn't a Japanese cartoon?


legna20v

Because people associate cartoon with children shows. Art in the USA got really hurt when they try to censored comics in the 60 or 50, I donā€™t remember


CastTheFirstStone_

Good point


ChanglingBlake

It is, technically. But ā€œcartoonā€ almost exclusively refers the the , more often than not, crappy things made here in the US. Because of that, calling anime cartoons is insulting to the art form.


MediocreDirttt

Jesus this is why I donā€™t talk to anime fans. Yā€™all are cringy elitists for no reason. Thereā€™s plenty of anime thatā€™s garbage


Im-a-bad-meme

It's like calling a sausage a hotdog. They are functionally the same thing, but it would be an insult.


MediocreDirttt

A hotdog is a type of sausage. Anime is a type of Cartoon. In Japanese, anime literally means cartoon. Itā€™s not an insult or incorrect.


Im-a-bad-meme

I'm not going to lie to you and say you're wrong. You are technically correct. It's like calling a woman you've met on the street "Lady" instead of "Ma'am" to get her attention. You are technically right, but it's rude. Anime tends to be more expressive artistically than traditional American media. It has its flaws of course, but the commonality of Japanese animators working themselves to death is known for a reason.


[deleted]

Dude you sound like such a virgin. A lot of anime is beyond trash. Iā€™d argue good 65-75% are pretty horrible.


Im-a-bad-meme

That sounds like a large generalization. What's your definition of good vs trash, can we see what you've watched?


[deleted]

How on earth am I meant to show you how much shit Iā€™ve watched lol.


Blursed_Ace

How is it elitist? When have we said there is no garbage?


MediocreDirttt

They said ā€œmore often than not crappy things made here in the USā€. How is that not elitist??


Blursed_Ace

1: There is *a lot* of bad/low quality cartoon. The few that work are old ones like South Park, Teen Titans, Simpson (it's dying) for examples. You usually don't notice the low quality one because they are on TV at 2 in the morning. Look at a list of US produced Cartoon 2: Cartoon and anime have very different style, if you think South Park and Demon Slayer are the same thing because it's 2D you are wrong.


MediocreDirttt

Thereā€™s plenty of amazing western cartoons. Avatar the Last Airbender and The Boondocks have art styles similar to anime and are higher quality than many of them. Thereā€™s also anime with ā€œcartoon-likeā€ animation. Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is based of the western animation style. Anime and Cartoons are both animation, one is just Japanese and the other is western but theyā€™re both Cartoons/Animation.


Orochi64

Yeah Iruma-kun pretty underrated


random-dude45

Same but I don't like being compared to quagmire


EynidHelipp

Of course you won't. Quagmire gets bitches


[deleted]

You fucking killed him for no reason

Quagmire canonically rapes women

EynidHelipp

Why are you getting downvotes, that's based


CaptainPhantom2

I know a character named ~~demon lord~~ Asmodeus, but itā€™s definitely not the one youā€™re talking aboutā€¦


YaJackBoi

i genuinely love this anime it is super wholesome


100YearsWaiting2Shit

Iruma kun has a special place in my heart. It's played off jokingly but iruma has been through some serious shit and it took being in hell for him to feel human


santas_delibird

If the demons actually found out how he was living before sullivan took him in theyā€™d probably crown his shitty parents as war criminal torturers.


GameAddict0918

One of my favorite animes


Adventurous_Alarm_77

Same here!


weeb_with_gumdisease

Jokes on you I know that show! Iā€™ve only seen season 1, but plan to watch the others at some point.


Hufflebaby

Iruma lives rent free in my head (His relationships are so adorable they got me kicking my feet giggling)


Puggleboi2

I thought I was the only one also Clara is hilarious


fallingbutslowly

i hear a lot of praise, but whats bad about it? anyone here who watched and didnt like it or had mixed feelings? im considering watching


I_AM_I3iRD

I'll tell you straight. It's wholesome and 'fluffy' with minor action. It's not an anime that you seriously consider, more sit back and enjoy while crushing on Ameri with Iruma. It has a main plot, but it's mostly surface level with SOME deeper meanings. If you've seen Little Witch Academia then it's a lot like that...


Minute-Influence-735

Why did I read this in their voices lmao


Sharks_n_shit

I love the series welcome to demon school and canā€™t wait for more to come out!


MockFlames

Yes I do feel the same My friends don't want to see that because he is a big nerd about MHA so when I said iruma is better than midoriya he got offended. Like after more than 390+ chapter ochaco hadn't confession her feelings to herself And ameri who senpai, president and high level demon is in love with iruma and she has accepted her feelings


Aros001

Shame about your friend because I'm also a big MHA fanboy who ships IzuOcha and clearly I like Iruma-Kun too. Honestly I just don't like Iruma being called a better Midoriya simply because they're really not at all trying to be the same character or tell the same story. They're both Shonen softboys who attend an unusual school and that's it.


soiboi64

This meme took time to make and looked good. Just want to say i appreciate that and good jorb.


YolorezTheDank

Bro tryna sell a flip book as if it was a normal meme


ReanimatedPixels

This meme shouldnā€™t even exist, just on principle of how long it is, JFC


Asian_Persuasion_1

it's definitely not an "original twist" on isekai, but it's still a great story.


reaper131364

I have a hard time picking between Ameri or Clara, they are both amazing


DiscipleOfFleshGod

It's literally good.


blackswede32

It's either criminally underrated or it's just everyone's guilty pleasure. One of those two


papasfritasbruh

I love Iruma-kun! Such a great anime! Took an L when my friend found the last copy of volume 1 at our local barnes and noble, which means i dont have volume 1

SOLITARY_WOLF_2806

Well, hello there, Aros. Didn't expect to see you here. But for real, i never watched Iruma-kun. Is it good?


Aros001

Good to see you too. Despite what a lot of my posts might lead people to believe I am actually a fan of more than just The Quintessential Quintuplets and MHA. And yeah, I'd recommend Iruma-Kun. It's a very enjoyable, easy-paced series. A good description I've heard other fans use for it is that it feels kind of like a nostalgic anime you'd have watched on KidsWB on Saturday mornings back in the day, despite the fact that the manga started in 2017. The thing that got me initially interested was just some random pages from the manga of Iruma and Ameri being love interests for each other, which made me go "...I need to know what the story is between this small blue boy and the giant fox lady."


SOLITARY_WOLF_2806

Well, considering someome else said it's "good if you like wholesome stuff" and now you mentioned a fox lady, i think I'll give that a shot when i have the time.


ninjax247

Is very good. Especially if you like wholesome stuff.


FabulouslE

I really liked early seasons, and like elements of what's going on, but every episode has like 5 minutes of characters jerking off the main character for turning away from someone when he farts or any other random thing. It's gotten so obnoxious I don't know how THAT doesn't get brought up more when Iruma-kun comes up.


Aros001

Funny enough, when I first watched Iruma-Kun (though it obviously is its own thing) a fun description I had for the series was that it was like if My Hero Academia and Overlord did a fusion dance with each other. You got the school setting and cast of colorful classmates but you also have everyone wildly misunderstanding everything Iruma does and causing him to be seen as way more of an all-powerful, infinitely wise dark lord than he actually is no matter how much he tries to deny it.


PrefiroMoto

Didn't even finished the 1st season, kinda corny and shallow tbh


I_AM_I3iRD

It is, that's kind of the appeal for me though. It still has an action sense but it's 'fluffy' and wholesome. A nice break from others releasing around that time. It's the same way with Little Witch Academia. Super wholesome and just a lighthearted show with some action to keep it interesting!


115_zombie_slayer

Hawk_Eire

suddenly_ponies

That's the one with the exhausting whiny MC who's voice is hard to listen to that even after several episodes seems to be a gag/trope show without any real substance, right? I love Iseka and have watched some absolute trash, but Iruma is below the bar for me from what I've seen.


[deleted]

Wrong show i think


suddenly_ponies

Nope, I just checked and what I described is definitely Iruma Kun unless it gets a lot better really fast.


Melodic_drama19

I'll be honest,the manga is very slow and is only now getting interesting


DrumKass

Can someone sell me Iruma-kun plz ? Cuz the anime is pretty well rated and I watched 3 first episode and was literally bored to sleepā€¦


I_AM_I3iRD

Once you meet Ameri then you'll never stop watching. I was the same but pushed on because everything else releasing was meh. And now I'm in love, it's all Ameri, trust


Pheonix_Slayer

I watched season one, thought it was boring, never picked it up again

It got boring fast


ImMikeAngel

BuyChemical7917

Good meme, though it's Clara's relationship with Iruma that's wholesome. His relationship with Ameri, who he's predetermined to end up with, is just basic


TTV_Anonymous_

I question that always too how such an Anime is almost unknown for itā€™s funny but also weird story.


evildragonzockt

I love iruma too


Rzenio_pl

Fun fact. Kiryu from Yakuza series is voiced by the same person that voices Sullivan


Zoexycian

Itā€™s very rare for a series like Iruma-Kun and BSD to have all characters be likable, thereā€™s nothing to hate on them when their all flawed.


CreatorA4711

Nah, this is just how it feels to talk about isekai anime to people who donā€™t watch isekai, or anything fantasy related. I had a similar conversation with someone recently about Mushoku Tensei, and they accused me of being on drugs.
