Basara Toujou has a hard life. He is the older step-brother to two demonic sisters, Mio and Maria Naruse, whom he protects from entitled demons looking to claim Mio's power for themselves. On top of that, rising political tension within the demon realm only makes his job more difficult.
When a messenger arrives with summons for Mio to the demon realm, she and her friends go in spite of the danger. Now on the enemy's turf, Basara will have to grow stronger through erotic pleasure in order to do the impossible and protect everyone.

In short, this ‘Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha Burst’ is worth watching and is highly recommended if you enjoy the ecchi and harem genres. It perfectly succeeds the Essence of the ‘Shinmai Maou’ series, wonderful ecchi senses. Also, the extra harem girls of the hero make a lot of new fun. Meanwhile, the performance of the plots is better than the presequel. A major flaw of the presequel, the existence of meaningless or in other words slacking off characters in fighting scenes, has been improved significantly. However, I still want to issue that no f**king scene is quite a bit sad.

Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst is what you get when you mix up angsty teenage-level soft hentai, questionable foot & armpit fetishes, a generic Isekai medieval European city and an absurdly predictable plot mixed in with Deux ex-Machinas at every turn.
The worst part is the season starts on a decent note but then suddenly shifts gears and becomes a generic Isekai wet dream where the region of "Hell" is actually just a big metropolitan European city with a bunch of "demons," aka people who have horns.
This generic wonderland city also has a variety of animal races and everything your basic af European . medieval anime city could have.
Pros:
1. The slice-of-life aspect is a lot better than in season one.
2. The humour is less about OMG LOOK SEXUAL TENSION, LOL and more about situational humour, which is a positive.
3. Basachi, yes, I'm calling him that actually has some character growth when he goes through his angry boi phase.
4. Despite my trash-talking the generic city, it still looks better than the high school, so that's a big win.
Cons:
1. All tension is constantly built up and taken away in stereotypical shounen fashion, where a Deux ex-Machina occurs to save the main cast, and it becomes predictable quite quickly.
2. The purpose of the Master-Slave dynamic somewhat gets forgotten as a character joins them and partakes in their sexual activities, leaving huge plot holes in the logic behind every sexual encounter as it's more about the male fantasy than anything.
3. Speaking of sexual encounters, they get absurd. Like last season was soft compared to what you see here. I hope you enjoy watching people orgasm from licking feet and armpits while screaming, "ONI-CHAN!" It's almost comical, especially when you get to the angry boi Basachi scenes where he's in beast mode x9000.
4. The only character that gets some growth is Basachi, while everyone else remains exactly the same as they started. That being said, the writing in this one is terrible; it's almost like they copied and pasted the first season's villain, motivations and plot and were like, AH HA because the setting is different; they won't realize we wrote the same characters and plot xD
5. This might be the worst con of all.
They used cliches every moment possible and ripped off concepts from Attack on Titian, The Fate Series, Dragon Ball and much more. This killed the originality of the anime.
Conclusion:
This anime is brutal to watch because of its cons, and if you think too much, but once you're done with the anime and digest all the bullshit you saw, it ends up being ironically unique in its way of being so generic and predictable. I know it's a contradiction, but the plot and its characters are so generic that it's become unique.
My conclusion is as bizarre as this anime/questionable hentai.
Lastly, I'd recommend this anime to anyone who can enjoy media for what it is and laugh at the absurdities you'll find here.
I hope you enjoy people getting orgasms from sucking toes and a big angry boi who has a fixation for growling and aggressively grabbing and licking the heck out of boobs. It's going to be that kind of adventure ;)
Happy Anime Hunting!

Hello Everyone, this is my first review ever and what a better way to start, than from lowest rated anime in my completed list (at least for now).
Oh dear Shinmai Maou no Testament. How much guilty pleasure I had watching your first season and how I suffered during the second one. But to begin with something positive.
Graphics and music
I have to say that both graphics and music are pretty good and they are an overall improvement from the first season. I don't want to write about them much more, since they didn't blew my mind, but they haven't worsen the experience. What did, however, . worsen the experience was the story.
I watched Testament some time ago, so I don't remember what happened in every single episode, but I remember I liked none of them. Basara is once again fighting demons to protect his step sisters and increasing his power by sexuall interactions with them. Compared to first season the story focuses much more on fighting and it tries to be much more serious. There is almost no comedy and everything tries to be dark. And "tries" is a very essential word here since this is a textbook example of a show about saving the world with an op dude surrounded by a bunch of girls. Speaking of those boy and girls.
To me, this is absolutely the worst thing about this entire season.
The main protagonist, Basara, turned from your avarage ecchi harem protagonist, with a slight losing self control twist, to always serious edgelord, that gives some solid predator vibes, when it comes to those spicy scenes. Connected with Basara is his father, which doesn't really play much of a role here, but he acts as a Basara's mentor. And when it comes to men, there is also Yahiro, which I don't even remember being in this season.
The women, however, come in much more shapes and sizes, at least if we talk about their appearence. Their characters, sadly, are so, so boring and it's honestly very hard to distinguish them based solely on what their saying. They are all very devoted to serving Basara and are always screaming with compassion when something is happening to him. And you might thing it's positive, but i swear, it is unbearable. Since fighting the villains is present during for like half of all the episodes. It is quite infurieting when 3 or 4 women are so worried that Bassara got hit once and they suddenly surround him and sigh all together, but let's try to say something about every single one of them individually.
The main girl of the series is Mio Naruse, which is your most basic of all the basic redhead tsundere girls there is, that with time becomes much more of that "dere" part.
Then, there's Maria Naruse. Small, naughty succubus, which honestly made me laugh a few times during the first season, but there was change into that always sighing girl I mentioned above.
Next is Yuki Nonaka, which is a generic schoolfriend of the main three characters, that develops a huge crush on the main guy instantly and tries to get him no matter what. Similarly to Maria she was also changed into that moaning Basara's girl.
There is also Yuki's sister, who is such a deep and well devepoled character, that I can't think of a single scene with her, that was not an erotic one.
Second to last is Zest, which, I think, was mainly introduced to satisfy the tanned, white hair chicks enjoyers, since her character after one episode from when she was introduced is basicly the same as Mio's, Maria's or Yuki's.
And last but not least there's the only pretty alright female character and that's Chisato Hasegawa, the school nurse. Not only was she the best waifu in the entire series, (THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION) she wasn't changed from when she was introduced, which here is somehow the best thing you can get.
I might have skipped some of the less important characters, but those are the main ones and almost all of them suck or are so generic that you can't really say anything positive about any of them.
The ecchi parts
Even though I haven't made any segway into that part, I think it is imporant that I make a seperate paragraph for that.
In all honesty, the spicy scenes here are pretty bad. Except for the one and only scene with the school nurse in like episode 2, I didn't get excited during the entirety of the show. Which is quite an achievement, since Testament and especially this season, is borderline hentai. My main problem was that everything was turning too much into Basara dominating and satisfying 4 girls at the same time and gradually losing his mind while doing so. It almost looked like rape with concent, which sounds weird and is even weirder when you watch. But I think if you are into man being a predator you might like the ecchi moments.
To sum up, Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst is a waste of time, with generic story, bad spicy scenes, even worse characters and truly a dissapointment after a pretty okay first season, which was almost like a parody of the genre. Had they stayed in that parody feel, the show would have been much better, but now, that I think about it, the parody aspect might have been unfortunately just a happy accident.
