HIDIVE Will Announce Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero Acquistion (Exclusive)

By Evan Valentine

HIDIVE as a streaming service is looking to compete with the other platforms out there that are focusing on the anime world. With the streaming service having its fair share of exclusive releases, HIDIVE is set to announce that it will be the exclusive platform to release the upcoming anime series, Level 1 Demon Lord And One Room Hero. While the title is certainly a mouthful, the unique premise for the series might make it an anime series to watch when it releases in the future.

The upcoming series will focus on a former hero named Max, who had previously defeated the aforementioned Demon Lord when he was much stronger than his current "Level One" self. Now taking the form of a much smaller version of his former glory, the antagonist finds the legendary hero in a one-room apartment and decides to help him reclaim his title as a hero. The series first began by creator "toufu" in 2019 as a manga, with the upcoming anime adaptation set to be created by studios Silver Link and Blade. Presently, the series has yet to confirm when it will arrive though it will be at some point this year, 2023.

In order to regain his power, the Demon Lord went into a deep slumber...but when he awakens, his body is only a chibi version of its fearsome form. Now curious to see what his enemy is up to, the Demon Lord visits Max, only to discover the mighty hero living in a dirty one-room apartment. The Demon Lord decides to move in with Max and help his old enemy become a formidable opponent once more!"
