10 best anime about demons

In recent times, new films have appeared that are worthy of your attention. But before doubts creep into your head, I would like to clarify that this list is not a list of creepy stories for Halloween.

10. Machikado Mazoku (City Devil)


One day, high school student Yoshida Yuuko wakes up to find that she has grown horns and a tail. The girl demands an explanation from her mother. And Yuuko Meyer finally reveals the secret of his family: they are the descendants of the demons of the Dark Clan, who were defeated in battle and impoverished due to the curse of their mortal enemies, magically powerful girls of the Light Clan. Yoshida Yuuko is destined to one day kill a magical member of the Enemy Clan and rid herself and her family of poverty. The girl's goal is Chiyoda Momo's classmate, a magical girl who has much more experience and power than our heroine. Fortunately, Momo happily agrees to help Yoshida uncover her secret powers so that she can defeat Chiyoda.

Machikado Mazoku is a cute girls doing cute stuff anime featuring two girlfriends. Girlfriends, despite a long history of "disagreements" among their conflicting Clans. Momo, a magical girl, finds in the person of Yuuko, a demon girl, a friend who is interesting to talk to and easy to tease. Yuuko is too timid and clumsy to kill the magical girl and continue the ancient traditions of his Clan.

9. Gabriel DropOut


Gabriel Tenma White is the best heavenly disciple. But to become a full-fledged angel, he must pass a graduation test. The essence of this is this: Gabriel must go down to earth and live among people in the body of a schoolgirl, who spreads kindness, peace, happiness, and also helps earthly inhabitants.

But Gabriel was not prepared for the temptations of the human world. Video games. Spoiled after the abuse of the forbidden fruit, the angel in the girl's body becomes withdrawn. And his once kind, bright and useful personality turns into a slacker who is not interested and does not care about anything other than the way of life in video games. Which path will Gabriel take? Will she stay in virtual reality or will she compete for the chance to become a real angel?

Gabriel Drop Out is a story about angels and demons living side by side in the human world. The roles of good and evil in this anime are not entirely clear, because the main character of the story is far from an ideal image of an angel. Gabriel's classmate and colleague - the angel Rafiel - have the perfect angelic shell. But she is a sadistic stalker who intimidates her classmate Satanicia, who is actually a clumsy and "evil" demon. He wanted to harm and throw earthly life into chaos, but his plans always ended in failure.

Angels do harm and demons do good deeds?

8. Overlord


In the multiplayer RPG game Yggdrasil, Momonga is a high-level undead spellcaster. He is also one of the most powerful and powerful players with powerful spells. Momonga also commands the powerful servants of the UPC.

But his reign will come to an end after the popular MMO shuts down its servers. Momonga will remain in the virtual world until it expires. But instead of logging out, our hero is transported to an unknown world as his undead avatar.

Unable to log out of the system, Momonga organizes his now sentient servants to check Earth for signs of other humans who are stuck just like himself.

7. Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu (Lord of Darkness: Another History of the World)


In MMORG Cross Reverie lies the most powerful and invincible player, the Demon Lord Diablo. With the most powerful spells, the most exotic gear and an unrivaled player level, Diablo defeats every enemy they encounter without taking damage. Behind this menacing reputation is Sakamoto Takuma, a socially withdrawn and awkward person who has dedicated his secluded life to working out his avatar. Namely, to create the most powerful and invincible in the Exaltation of the Cross, Diablo.

As in any other Isekai anime, Takumi is summoned to the magical world, where he takes the form of his avatar, as well as possessing all the magic and equipment of the Demon Lord.

The demons in Cross Reverie are a race in the fantasy world that feature horns on their heads. This way of depicting is not the most creative, but still it has a place to be.

6. Yuu ☆ Yuu ☆ Hakusho (Spirit Rampage Report)


Urameshi Yusuke is a criminal who, one fateful day, throws himself under a car to save a boy, but dies. Due to an unexpectedly good deed, Koenma, heir to the throne of the spiritual realm, gives Yusuke another chance. He makes Urameshi a detective to fight evil spirits that disturb the balance of the human kingdom.

In the role of a spiritual detective who not only fights for the right to life, but also saves the world of people, Yusuke meets supernatural friends and enemies.

Yuu Yuu Hakusho is a traditional anime with an emphasis on action, adventure and insane levels of play. He focuses more on the supernatural than the rest of the show, including spirits, visions, and youkai.

5. Devilman: Crybaby


Fudu Akira and Asuka Ryo have been friends since childhood. But they are complete opposites of each other. Akira is vulnerable and sensitive, he cries when someone dies next to him. Ryo is more calculating, cunning and cold-blooded, he can take life without hesitation.

One day, while revealing the truth about the demons, Ryo turns to his friend Akira for help. Together they gather where the demons gather. Saturday, an underground sex, drug and sacrifice party. But during the reprisal, Akira falls under the influence of demons and becomes the Devil himself - a man with the body of a demon, but with a human heart.

Devilman: crybaby is a modern interpretation of older anime (predecessors), featuring sex, violence, demons, a lot of blood and Christian symbolism. Unlike most of the shows on the list, which show demons as a race or type of monsters that use magic, Devilman has real demons who are far from kind and cute.

4. Endro! (Endro ~!)


Yusha, Hero, Seyran Priest, Fai Warrior and Mei Mage - they all fight the Demon King in a battle that determines the fate of the whole world. And together they manage to overthrow the ruler of evil and save humanity.

But wait! The Demon King was not banished into the void. Instead, he was sent back in time to the body of the demon Dole. And now, known as Mao, the Demon King infiltrates the Adventurer School disguised as a teacher. And all in order to prevent Yusha from becoming the intended hero. But after some unsuccessful attempts, Mao abandons plans to rule the world and continues to live as a teacher for young adventurers.

But he will not be able to escape the fate prepared for the Demon King. The day will come when Mao will leave Dole's guise in order to fight the hero.

3. Kimetsu no Yaiba (Blade that cleaves demons)


Returning home, Kamado Tanjiro discovers that virtually his entire family has been brutally murdered and eaten by demons. The only survivor of this bloody carnage is his sister Nezuko, who received a curse and took on a demonic form. But part of her humanity still remains. Nezuko and Tanjiro travel through the Japanese countryside to find a way to break the curse.

To achieve his goals, become stronger and join the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro must train hard.And then he can become one of the warriors specializing in the hunt for demons.

Some of the fans may be disappointed as they expect to see a story about how to find a way to end the demonic curse. Instead, they watch a story-driven adventure story.

2. Beelzebub-jou no Okinimesu mama (As Miss Beelzebub loves)


Hell, also known as Pandemonium, is where fallen angels go to transform into demons. Under the leadership of the fallen angel Beelzebub, who became the Great Demon and fought hand in hand with Satan against Heaven - the usual order has changed radically. Everything so that Pandemonium becomes a peaceful and beautiful place suitable for life, competing with the high level of Heaven. After all, demons live in cities full of colors, and such things as sulfur fire and eternal agony have disappeared.

Who is this Beelzebub? Oh, Beelzebub is a sweet little girl who loves fluffy things.

Beelzebub-jo no Okinimesu's mother is just a piece of life anime about the beautiful and kind Beelzebub, surrounded by a group of demons working to improve the life of Pandemonium.

1. Maoyuu Maou Yuusha (Hero with sworn enemy)


The war between humans and demons has been going on for 15 years. Many lives on both sides were lost, chaos ensued, and once fertile lands turned to ash. In this difficult time, a hero appears who leads an army to the Kingdom of Demons. Due to the slow advance of the army, the Hero becomes impatient and recklessly heads to one of the Demon King's castles. Arriving, he encounters the Queen - a woman of unprecedented beauty, who asks for the Hero's help in order to end the war, using the economy and agriculture.

The Demon Queen convinces the Hero to find new solutions to problems by researching new food production technologies by introducing potatoes and corn.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha is not your typical anime as it focuses more on agriculture and infrastructure. Both humans and demons benefit from the war, providing new jobs, improving trade with neighboring countries, and delivering supplies to distant colonies with few natural resources for exploitation.

There are many animes featuring Demons, but we assume this list will satisfy even the most picky viewer.
