Summary:
Cursed by a witch as a child, a young duke gained the unwanted power to kill every living thing he touches. Forced to move away from his family and into a large mansion deep in the woods, the duke is treated as if he does not exist and is continually shunned by his peers. However, he is not entirely alone. Rob and Alice, his butler and maid, are always by his side. Alice loves to tease him, and as their relationship grows, the duke makes it his goal to break free from his deadly curse. Of course, he is going to need some help, and who better to do this than the various inhabitants of the supernatural?
This is an ongoing manga series "anime" adaptation. Its story, characters and events are extremely average, but it's certainly very cute and cheesy, which is good. It is going in a promising direction as far as romance is concerned, but since the original work, the manga, is still ongoing, no one knows how it will actually end.
What is a huge detriment to this adaptation, however, is that this is a 3D "anime", if you can still call it that. It's obnoxious, poorly done, extremely cheap, and does not translate the charms of typical 2D Japanese animation anywhere near as effectively. Still, after getting used to it, it becomes more or less watchable, thanks to the story, characters and events (which aren't great, but I'm a sucker for cheesy romantic stories).
I would say it's not bad (so far), but I think it's also one of those series you really want to wait for it to reach its original manga conclusion, then start reading it (instead of watching it), but backwards, to ensure the ending isn't bullshit and that you do not waste your time on it if it is.
New SPRING 2025 anime series and movies have been added!
