Ni, when to show location, is only used with stative verbs, such as : iru, aru and sumu.

De, is used with action verbs to convey the place of action, as opposed to location of being.
Ex : Gakkou de neru (sleep in school)

God(?) save our king! / Kyou kara maoh!

I like this anime very much!! The character's image is really nice and cool...!! Let me tell you a bit about this anime if you don't know what it is... Yuuri is the average high school student until he interveres with the bullying of a classmate, Ken Murata, and gets his head dunked in a toilet. Surprisingly he is sucked into the toilet and ends up in another world. When he reaches dry land, he sees some people dressed in medieval costumes. He thought that it is a theme park of some sort. People seemed to be frightened of him, pelt him with rocks, and begin to form a small mob. He's rescued by Adalbert von Grantz who uses some form of magic so Yuri understands the local language. Konrad Weller & Gunther von Gritz then rescue Yuri and takes him to the Blood Pledge Castle, the residence of the Maoh, where he soon finds out he is the new Maou or Demon King will rule over the "Shin Makoku" ("New Demon Kingdom"). The culture in Shin Makoku is very different from the japanese culture Yuri is used to, and it makes some amusing mishaps with long-ranging consequences, such as an accidental marriage proposal to Wolfram von Bielefeld... And for the rest of them, you can watch it at Animax on Sunday 12.00pm-02.30pm (if i'm not wrong)... ^-^v
