We usually don't like to start watching anime shows until they are completed because the wait between disks (each containing only 3-4 episodes) is unbearable.  However, when it came to Kyo Kara Maoh we started watching before realizing that there were way more episodes then were out at the time, and we had already fallen too in love with the show to stop watching.

Kyo Kara Maoh (also known as God Save Our King) is an anime about a young man named Yuri Shibuya who finds himself king of an alternate world after being flushed down the toilet.  He has a hard time believing it at first but eventually comes to accept his new life as king of the Demons.  There are many other characters in the show who help/hinder Yuri along the way (including his accidental fiance Wolfram!), and they are all great.  He is quite inexperienced and always seems to get into bad situations because of his naive look at the world, but everything usually works out in the end because Yuri is truly a great king.

The characters are definitely the best part, with the humor coming close after.  Almost all of the characters are really fun and interesting and the show couldn't work without them all.  It was cool how the show sometimes had several of the characters get separated from the others in order to learn more about them as individuals.  The humor is really good in this show too, there were several times in each of the episodes where we found ourselves laughing out loud!  It was a nice change from all the serious and angst filled anime that we began watching.  The show doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's just fun to watch.

The only bad part was the really long wait in between the releases of each disk.  Then, once we reached the end of season 2, we read that there was a third season being made!

It has not... yet.  Hopefully it never will!

When Yuri first saw the sand bear in the desert, the entire Bearbee episode, Yuri's rowing instructions, when Wolfram caught Yuri after they had been separated for so long, when Yuri adopted Greta, Wolfram's suggestion for keeping warm in the snowstorm, Yuri and Wolfram's bear hats, when Gwendel and Yuri were mistaken for the elopers, when Gunter was a male model, when Yuri's mom found out about Yuri and Wolfram's engagement, Josak crossdressing, when Gunter thought that Yuri joined a monastery, and many, many more!

Yuri, Wolfram, Gunter, Josak, Gwendel, Greta, and Jennifer.  Yuri was so cute and loveable.  He always did what he believed in (which was kind of annoying sometimes too), and was a great friend to everyone.  Wolfram was so funny and completely devoted to his fiance Yuri.  Gunter was also funny, and the show wouldn't be the same without his crazy antics.  Josak had good character growth and was always there to save the day.  His relationship with Conrad is also super cute.  Gwendel was an interesting character because although he had this tough guy exterior he had a soft spot for small cute things.  Greta's character could have easily been really obnoxious since she was a kid character and a later addition to the cast, but she ended up being really cute and likeable.  Yuri's mom Jennifer is just crazy and all of her scenes were really amusing.
