Overview

It’s love at first sight for Fudo and Desumi, except it was during a battle of life and death. Fudo, leader of the hero squad Gelato 5, and Desumi, the Death Queen of the evil society Gekko, have found themselves caught in a forbidden love—and it’s their first relationship! Moving in secrecy, they live holding hands with one weapon in the other, finding out what’s truly fair in love and war.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 74 /100

Critics generally received Love After World Domination as a charming, pleasant, and competent anime comedy that effectively leans into its absurd superhero parody premise. The story follows superhero squad leader Fudo and evil society commander Desumi as they secretly date while maintaining their public rivalry, serving up plenty of zany, awkward scenarios and lighthearted relationship milestones.

The show's presentation earned praise for matching its ridiculous setup. Reviewers highlighted the strong visual style, creative character designs, and well-executed transformation animations that amplify the goofy, high-energy tone.

However, reviewers noted that the series has its limitations. Some felt the romance frequently took a backseat to gag comedy, while others pointed out that the humor could occasionally lean too heavily into corny territory, preventing the show from becoming a true standout in its genre.

“Love After World Domination Episode 1 delivers a strong first outing as it establishes both characters and their predicament...”

“competent and capable when it comes to what it wants to be, but it never cements itself as a standout in its genre and the romance will usually take a backseat to the comedy”

“While the zany tone and awkward scenarios often provide a lot of charming humor, Love After World Domination Season 1 goes a bit too far in its corny...”

Why fans love it

Love After World Domination takes the classic tropes of sentai hero teams and turns them into a soft-hearted comedy. Fudo and Desumi stand on opposite sides of a traditional conflict, representing the Gelato 5 heroes and the villainous Gekko society. Their relationship develops not through typical romantic scenarios, but through the absurdity of hiding a budding romance behind the backdrop of constant, high-stakes battle.

The series finds its humor in the juxtaposition of giant explosions and shy, inexperienced dating jitters. Yusuke Kobayashi delivers a performance that highlights how difficult it is to balance a public persona as a fearless leader with the awkward reality of a first relationship. It functions as a parody of the shounen genre that maintains a focus on the characters despite the ridiculous premise of superheroes and villains trying to act like a normal teenage couple.
