[Anime Info]


New TV Anime The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy

The most powerful of the Dark Lords, Leonis sealed his body away to one day exact his revenge.
However, when he is awakened after 1000 years of slumber, he finds that his body has reverted to that of a 10 year-old boy!
“How could this be?!” He wonders to himself, when a young woman discovers him. Trying to comfort the awakened Dark Lord, she says: “How’d you get stuck in here, little guy? Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
This girl, Riselia, is a student at Excalibur Academy, and Leonis is astonished when he finds out how drastically his world has changed. Hearing about such things as the unknown and hostile Void, the Seventh Assault Garden, and the absurdly powerful Excalibur, Leonis is totally lost in his new surroundings but ultimately enrolls in Excalibur Academy.
In a future world that has lost its connection to magic, the mightiest Dark Lord joins forces with beautiful heroines in this fantasy school story!
