Kyo Kara Maoh!:
God(?) Save Our King!
Anime DVD Review
Yuri fancied himself an ordinary Japanese lad trying to make it through school. That all changed when some bullies dunked his head into a ladies room toilet. Yuri was whisked (should we say "Flushed"?) into a strange new world full of medieval castles and flying skeletons. Apparently, Yuri bares the sole of the long awaited (and long feared) Demon King. An army of handsome young men are sworn to protect this comically pretty boy from supernatural forces conspiring against their kingdom. Can Yuri stand to be fawned over? What is he expected to do now that he's magical royalty?
 Kyo Kara Maoh!: God(?) Save Our King! is a bishonen fantasy series in the tradition of Escalfowne. Adapted from the Kadokawa manga, it sports action, adventure, and cute anime guys with big swords. Now that you've been down a well with Kagume and InuYasha, try going down the toilet with young, Demon King Yuri? Does it swirl clockwise or counter-clockwise?
