Synopsis:

The daily life of the seven princes of the Devildom forms the core of this series. These powerful demons, known as avatars of the seven deadly sins, navigate academic life at RAD while also managing their positions on the student council. Their interactions reveal a stark contrast to expectations; beneath their formidable reputations and occasional displays of extreme personalities lies a deeply familial dynamic marked by playful rivalry and genuine affection.

The narrative explores themes of identity, responsibility, and the complexities of family bonds within a fantastical setting. It balances moments of lighthearted comedy stemming from their mischievous nature with subtle explorations of power and societal expectations. The series offers an intimate look at these extraordinary individuals as they strive to balance their demonic heritage with the demands of their academic and social lives.

There isn’t much to say. This anime is an adaptation from an Otome Game. We all knew that it wouldn’t be a masterpiece but it still exceeded my expectations. Everything was fine. Just average. It isn’t good but there’s also nothing wrong with it. It’s just cute boys doing cute things and I think that it was the right thing to do. There was no female protagonist with her harem which would have made it much worse. I don’t regret watching it but I wouldn’t watch it again. I wouldn’t really recommend it either but I wouldn't advise you not to watch this Anime either.

As someone who has played the game, I thoroughly enjoyed the anime adaptation of Obey Me! Although it would've been much better if they made the anime 20 mins long so that it would give time for the people who haven't played the game to fall inlove with the characters. (And also for Satan and Lucifer to get more screentime LMAO) But, overall, I did enjoy the show and some episodes were actually in the actual story of the game so it was fun watching it get animated. 10/10 would recommend the game so that y'all could see more of our demon hotties ;) (andthe other hot side characters that were only shown in ep 12 !!)

Obey Me! is definitely a short anime series meant to be primarily enjoyed by those who are into the Obey Me! games already. It does a good job promoting the game too, however, for people who haven't played or heard of the game before. 6/10 overall, 7/10 for enjoyment :) For context, Obey Me! is an otome game (dating sim for girls) where you more or less try to romance the seven different devil boys who are also the main characters of the anime. So it's pretty obvious as to why players would enjoy this anime since they can see a bit more into the livesof the characters and the shenanigans they go through.nnFrom the perspective of someone who hasn't played the game before, the anime has its fair share of funny and heartwarming moments depending on what sort of humour you're into. The worldbuilding is pretty easy to grasp even if you don't understand why or where things are taking place. Memorizing each of the 7 brothers can be slightly confusing, but that's not necessary to enjoy the anime.nnSince it's mostly for promotion, there isn't much of a story at all. In the same vein, there's also a lack of character depth (not to say there isn't ANY) as the series is composed of episodic skits more or less. There was enough shown about the characters to be able to differentiate them, and by the end I even had a favourite of sorts. However, the art and sound are done surprisingly well for a promotional anime and it makes it easier to consume the series, perhaps even encouraging you to go check out the game afterwards.nnAll in all, if you want a quick watch that comes with a few laughs and nice art, this is a great way to pass around an hour of your time. But don't go into it expecting anything more than that, or you could find yourself disappointed.
