What is it, in summary?: In a post-apocalyptic future setting with magic, the kingdom of Metallicana is threatened by evil forces. In desperation, they summon a powerful wizard named Dark Schneider, who was trapped in the body of a young boy, Lucien, to help save them. This does not go as planned, since he's (as you might guess from the title) a selfish, horny, evil bastard. However, he can be controlled by Lucien's friend Tia Noto Yoko (both in terms of her having the ability to control when he manifests, and in terms of her telling him what to do/exercising some degree of moral control over him).
What do you love about it?: This series is extremely ridiculous, and I love it! Many of the characters, monsters, spell names, etc. are like a mishmash of heavy metal artists/songs and D&D. It fully embraces the 'problematic' aspects of its canon in a way that most shows today would probably shy away from. It feels like it escaped from the 1980s, in a good way.
If you like "evil character reluctantly develops (some) morals", or "powerful man is constantly whipped by teenage girl who tells him what to do", or "equal opportunity tits and ass," I heartily recommend this show.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: More ridiculous adventures, backstory for some of the characters, comedy, smut
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Basically all the warnings, yes! Violence, incest (father-adopted daughter, they're both into it), dubcon, non-con, underage, gratuitous levels of tits and ass and sexual innuendo. None of these things are treated particularly seriously or sensitively, in fact they're often played for humour.
