Beelzebub – Fight for the King >>

Aye.. Frankly, I'm quite shocked that Beelzebub has ended. After many episodes of fillers, just when it looked like it's going to start a new arc, it ended! =.=! I think the anime started too early. If the anime had started later, it will definitely have less fillers and will most likely last longer. Story: (6/10) – Fair The story follows the "strongest juvenile delinquent", Oga Tatsumi, a first year in "Ishiyama High" the school for delinquents. One day while sleeping next to a river he sees a man floating down it, he pulls him to shore and the man splits in half revealing a baby boy. This boy is the son of the demon king and he has been chosen as the one to raise it with the baby's demon maid Hilda. The story follows his life with the baby and at the delinquent school. Beelzebub is fundamentally a gag manga/anime so its lack of plot doesn't bother me. However, what really bothers me is the fillers!! Not only did they not contribute to the plot, they are NOT funny at all!! Character: (8/10) – Good Beelzebub has quite a number of interesting characters and I enjoy their interaction with one another. Though Baby Beelzebub is the main character, I don't really find him that cute. In fact, i find him irritating at times. I find Baby Kouta much cuter.   Though Beelzebub has many strong and cool characters, my favorite character is Furuichi! I find him really funny! I also pity him at times as he always gets teased by the big ossan and gets bullied by Oga and others. Art/Animation: (7/10) – Fairly Good There's nothing to boast about in this department. The art is not exactly pretty but it's decent and easy on the eyes. The animation quality is also average. Music: (6/10) – Fair I don't find the Opening and Ending themes, in particular the Ending themes, very appealing. Whether they suit the anime or not.. well I guess that's subjective. Enjoyment: (7/10) – Fairly Good When it's supposed to be funny, it's funny enough to put a smile on my face, though not enough to make me LOL. However, most of the time (especially the fillers), it's not funny at all. Overall: (7/10) – Fairly Good If only the anime had started later, we'll most likely get a better adaption of the manga... one with fewer fillers.
