• 0:04
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:07
  talk, I'm your host Robert. And today I have a very fun
• 0:12
  serious talk about and that is help.
• 0:16
  Now, this series is a very interesting one because and and
• 0:24
  I've been enjoying that a lot of these companies are kind of
• 0:28
  going back to series that are already finished but never got
• 0:32
  an English release. Us and are translating them and
• 0:35
  bringing them over. So this series in Japan, ran
• 0:42
  from 2014 to 2017, had 12 volumes total with 111 111
• 0:52
  chapters. So the English release is being
• 0:56
  published by viz media and the story art is done by nanaki the
• 1:03
  now. So so yeah.
• 1:08
  So this is one. I honestly heard never heard
• 1:11
  about nothing until this is on the, on the calendar for
• 1:16
  upcoming releases and I'll saw so many people in the comments
• 1:21
  sections. Instead of being like, yo, I
• 1:23
  can't believe it. Help what the heck?
• 1:26
  They finally doing it. And this is also another one, I
• 1:30
  think I've talked about, I've done this a lot, a lot of my
• 1:32
  recent reviews. But this is also another one
• 1:35
  that were also beginning an anime adaptation.
• 1:38
  We don't have a date on when that is going to happen but just
• 1:44
  no one is coming. Bam.
• 1:47
  So what is help. So this series is actually kind
• 1:51
  of a, a fantasy action comedy series.
• 1:57
  That is basically centered around.
• 2:02
  One of our main characters who goes by the name of red ver ver
• 2:07
  Mario, who is the the demon lady on the cover of the first
• 2:13
  volume? So the basic Crux of what's
• 2:17
  going on is that a hero emerged from the from the human world,
• 2:24
  or the human realm. Because apparently in this one
• 2:27
  world is kind of split where like humans have their section,
• 2:30
  the demons have their section. Why humor a human emerges?
• 2:35
  Defeats Demon Lord Thor. And thus, there is peace in the
• 2:40
  human realm, but the demon land is in chaos because they're
• 2:43
  lowering is destroyed. Or is gone.
• 2:45
  So, ready for Mario, is one of the generals of of that Demon
• 2:54
  Lord and she is tasked with basically finding a replacement.
• 3:00
  And so, The story. Pretty much kicks off with this
• 3:04
  giant tournament. That is supposedly open to
• 3:07
  everybody to see who might be fit to be the next Demon.
• 3:11
  Lord well during this tournament.
• 3:18
  There Comes A guy by the name of help, who is a human who is
• 3:24
  super hulked out, just destroying people and stuff left
• 3:30
  and right, but the, the demons there, if everybody in the crowd
• 3:35
  is like just hyped, they love help but of course, for Mario is
• 3:42
  like because she's talking. So, I like the assistant dude
• 3:45
  who's kind of giving her a run down a lot.
• 3:47
  Okay, you What are the contestants and stuff?
• 3:50
  The combat is looking like this year and determine or whatever
• 3:53
  and he's coming all. Yeah, we have a scene, have a
• 3:55
  pretty good crop of Fighters and stuff.
• 3:59
  This this go around lots of promising people including this
• 4:04
  guy named help and he's describing running shoes.
• 4:06
  The oh okay cool. And so they I think they wash
• 4:09
  like a clip and then she's like, kind of a funny looking Damon
• 4:16
  and he's like, no, he's a Human hero.
• 4:21
  And she's like wait why is there a human here?
• 4:24
  And he's like, Well ma'am, the the tournament was was open to
• 4:29
  everybody regardless of where of all Races and she was like
• 4:32
  except humans, he's like, oh, really?
• 4:37
  And so there's just like those sprinkles of like funny moments
• 4:40
  like that all throughout, which was just makes it that much more
• 4:45
  enjoyable to read. S, of course, rifle is she is
• 4:50
  freaking out because she's like, yo, he's just trying to invade
• 4:53
  our ranks. What if he comes in and like her
• 4:56
  Source, whatever. And then basically find out
• 4:59
  there, that one of the other demon generals implanted this
• 5:04
  basket, this rural through matching, I think these rings
• 5:07
  are something that they are wearing to where the
• 5:09
  contestants. Basically can't kill one
• 5:14
  another. It's not you know, they can
• 5:16
  fight, they could compete but they I cannot kill one another
• 5:18
  like the magic will stop them from doing it.
• 5:22
  And then I just love this panel which I'll say like one thing
• 5:28
  about this with this character help.
• 5:30
  He kind of reminds me of how and one punch man, they are
• 5:34
  constantly kind of like Shifting the art style when like when
• 5:39
  saitama is very serious and they were he just kind of like like
• 5:44
  like like normal kind of derpy looking or whatever.
• 5:47
  And I love how like they use like the shading and stuff,
• 5:50
  whatever in this. But I love this moment where the
• 5:54
  announcers kind of like hey that was an incredible Victory, you
• 5:57
  know can you tell us how you feel?
• 5:59
  Right now I'm just gonna shut. This is just super quick and
• 6:02
  he's just like, I detest humans and everybody in the crowd was
• 6:07
  like what? Yeah, I hate humans.
• 6:10
  Yeah, it's so, so, yeah. So it is just tons of fun
• 6:15
  moments like that all throughout the story and you just like
• 6:20
  waiting at the crazy. Like yeah let's Destroy All
• 6:22
  Humans and so that is like I said like I kind of like the
• 6:26
  like the reoccurring theme throughout this whole story is
• 6:28
  just this tournament going on where the trying to determine
• 6:32
  the next Demon Lord. And for me, Rio trying to To do
• 6:39
  every trick in the book to try to like, trip him up and all the
• 6:43
  stuff, whatever. From going from, just just
• 6:45
  normal, just regular combat, trials to like, they're playing
• 6:49
  like a card game. They do like a rice on animals
• 6:53
  and all types of other crazy stuff but somehow help always
• 6:58
  overcomes and in the most goofiest and with style Fashions
• 7:07
  and then later. On in this volume, which was
• 7:09
  first of all, I'll say this volume was a pretty chunky
• 7:15
  volume. It has over 200 pages and I
• 7:20
  think it's like nine chapters 19 chapter some other.
• 7:23
  So it's a pretty beefy first volume with.
• 7:27
  Like I said, just just lots of just fun or actions, lots of fun
• 7:30
  characters, all the whole cast of characters from just like
• 7:33
  some of the other people that are fighting and and and In
• 7:38
  Contention to try to become the next Demon, Lord and stuff,
• 7:41
  they're all just fun characters to just see.
• 7:45
  Like I said, just the way the like everybody is just like
• 7:47
  loving and embracing help and for Mario, she just like, no, we
• 7:52
  can't have this. But yeah, so we go throughout
• 7:55
  the all this tournament stuff. And then later on, she makes one
• 7:59
  of the trials where they have to go and recapture this castle,
• 8:03
  that was taken over, because while this tournament is going
• 8:06
  on, apparently some new Other wanged, third party.
• 8:11
  Looks like maybe Angel is wearing Knight's armor.
• 8:14
  Look pretty cool. But they have started, invading
• 8:17
  certain areas or whatever so they're going to try to fight
• 8:20
  them as part of the trial and stuff.
• 8:23
  And also while all this is going on for Mario Sims a couple of
• 8:28
  first spies to the to the human realm, to try to get some
• 8:32
  information about how maybe some way to like defeat him if the
• 8:36
  time comes but But they're not really finding anything and also
• 8:41
  like the area that that, that one of the Assassins or spices
• 8:47
  in it's like super common. Peaceful is beautiful lush
• 8:51
  green, valleys and Countryside and she's not mad.
• 8:54
  It's really nice here. It's quiet as peaceful as
• 8:57
  beautiful. And then you go to like, the
• 8:59
  Demon World where it's like, decrepit deserted, wastelands
• 9:04
  and stuff. And she just kind of like, man,
• 9:07
  Kind of kind of kind of not wanting to go back and stuff so
• 9:10
  but but yeah but in a nutshell help is a super fun.
• 9:17
  Read one that I highly recommend just because I feel like, you
• 9:20
  know, we don't get too many good like funny series.
• 9:29
  And like I said that this one has like really cool action
• 9:31
  moments. And I said you're just like I
• 9:33
  just it's just fun. That is all I can say because I
• 9:36
  feel like I'm just Regurgitating the same things.
• 9:39
  But the basics of what I'm trying to say is that this
• 9:42
  series is just plain fun to read.
• 9:45
  And, like I said, the art is also a really cool, really
• 9:49
  beautiful as well. Even considering this was, this
• 9:54
  has been done for over five years now.
• 9:55
  And if this was from some of those early chapters, that means
• 10:00
  some of this stuff I'm reading now is like eight from like
• 10:04
  eight years ago. Not send it.
• 10:05
  They might have might have touched it up.
• 10:07
  But just to say that the art style and stuff has held up
• 10:12
  really well over these years and stuff.
• 10:15
  So but but yeah, like I said good on y'all Vis, everybody
• 10:19
  involved, who, who has been decided to go back and bring
• 10:26
  some of these series over that having that haven't gotten time
• 10:33
  to shine. So I gotta show this one more
• 10:36
  just like time to focus. But yeah, so it's going to be a
• 10:41
  good laugh and I look forward to also if, if they can now if a
• 10:48
  really good Studio gets this, if they can nail the comedy and
• 10:53
  stuff, well, in the anime is going to be a classic.
• 10:57
  It's going to be a fun time to watch my yeah.
• 11:01
  I'm looking forward to checking out the next volume of Hell
• 11:03

• 11:06
