Yu-Sibu: I Couldn't Become a Hero So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job, Complete Collection

In what seems to be a trending anime premise, this is another series revolving around figures of myth and fantasy who settle for humdrum jobs in the mundane world. Youthful Raul Chaser once aspired to be a warrior in the mighty battle that finally destroyed the dreaded Demon King. But that was two years ago, and during the ensuing peace his realm of Royal City has become a bland-looking modern suburb, with no need for sword-wielding heroes. Raul clerks at the only business that accepted his resume, a store that stocks magic-powered home appliances and luxury electronics (the outlet suffers severe competition from a rival chain that makes cheaper goods using a labor force of tame monsters). To Raul's shock, a new applicant, Fino Bloodstone, turns out to be the daughter of the late Demon King. Fino sincerely wants to succeed in sales, and Raul mentors the big-breasted nymph (who has a habit of casually threatening customers' lives) while trying to conceal her origins from former demon-slayers who have also devolved into service-industry drones (mostly nubile females). A potentially one-joke sitcom with ample nudity gets a bit more interesting when disgruntled ex-heroes try to use Fino to re-ignite the demon wars so that they can regain their old glory. Presenting all 12 episodes from 2013 in separate DVD and Blu-ray editions, rated TV-14, in Japanese with English subtitles, this is a strong optional purchase. (C. Cassady)
