About Kyo Kara Maoh! - God (?) Save Our King!

Here is what Kyo Kara Maoh! - God (?) Save Our King! (今日からマ王！) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, comedy and fantasy anime by Studio DEEN (2004). What the story covers: Yuri Shibuya was living a pretty normal life. That changed the day he was dunked into a toilet after an attempt to save a classmate from a gang of bullies.

Another thread: Instead of just getting a good soaking, he's pulled in. The next thing he knows, he's in a world that vaguely resembles medieval Europe. If that's not odd enough, he's told that he is to be the next Maoh, just because he has black hair and black eyes.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Toshiyuki Morikawa as Conrad Weller and Mika Kanai as Yuuri Shibuya. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 78 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
