Season 01: (The) Devil Is A Part-Timer! (TV) Season 02 (1st half): (The) Devil Is A Part-Timer!! (TV 2) Season 02 (2nd half): (The) Devil Is A Part-Timer!! (TV 3) Source: Light Novels (completed @ 30 volumes, written by Satoshi Wagahara, illustrated by 029 (Oniku)) Demographic: Shounen Animation Studio: Season 01: White Fox Season 02 (1st half): Studio 3Hz Season 03 (2nd half): Studio 3Hz Genres: action, comedy, fantasy, romance, slice of life Themes: demons, isekai, mythology, workplace Plot Summary: In another dimension the Devil King Sadao is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo. As "conquering the world" are the only skills the Devil King possesses - and are obviously unnecessary in his new situation - he must work as a freeter to pay for his living expenses. Air Date & Platform: Season 01: April 4, 2013 (Thursday) Available on: FUNimation, Hulu, Netflix, Tubi Season 02 (1st half): July 14, 2022 (Thursday) Available on: Crunchyroll Season 02 (2nd half): July 13, 2023 (Thursday) Available on: Crunchyroll Episode Count / Runtime: Season 01: 13 episodes Season 02 (1st half): 12 episodes Season 02 (2nd half): 12 episodes Total: 37 episodes ---------------------------------- Episode 1 I just finished watching this and thought was kinda amusing. I see some similarities with Maoyu with the humor. Otherwise, the episode started with a "serious atmosphere" but later had a lot of comedy. Yusa was funny to watch even at that place he was working at. It doesn't seem to be a job that can earn him a lot of income though. I also think he has an admirer who works besides him. Otherwise, fun episode beginning so far but the end of the episode sure doesn't seem fun to him. |

I found this quite amusing because it gives a very realistic twist to an otherwise fantasy genre anime.
Maou-sama is hilarious in his antics working at MgRonalds and Alsiel is super busy keeping up with all of the chores. The end where he realized spoiler[the girl was the hero was kind of predictable, but funny as well.] I loved the clever references inputted like spoiler[Harry Potter and Supersize Me.] Next episode shows spoiler[the hero will stay at the demon king's place]. Can't wait for that! Overall, pretty good way to start off the anime. looking forward to more. Score: 8/10 |

Heh, heh. This could be a fun comedy anime for me. Maoh taking his job at a fast-food restaurant so seriously despite his status as all-powerful demon king had me cracking up in laughter quite a bit throughout the episode, alongside he and his partner's efforts at learning about their new life on Earth. The preview hinting at spoiler[the hero staying at his apartment] has some fun potential for next week. Looking forward to seeing more of this in the weeks to come!

I also liked how it went from a serious anime to a lighthearted one. I loved the references to spoiler[Harry Potter and Super size me.] I also loved how it explained how they got accustomed to living in Japan normally.

Episode 1
I definitely had fun with this, demon lords seem to be hot right now. It started off very fantasy and serious, something that could probably stand as series setting in its own right, but then suddenly changing it to being more comedy and set in reality. I actually enjoyed the shift, spoiler[Alsiel trying to use magic, and later seen eating the food that Maou (Satan) did not seem to care about]. It seems that he will likely end up changing from overlord and conqueror, into being an alright guy. Him doing things like lending his umbrella to comforting his workmate, make it look like he is already part way there. I totally did not see it coming that the spoiler[girl he talked to would turn out to be the hero], but that is a cool twist. I enjoy a bunch of the characters, the young Maou, light haired Alsiel, the adorkable workmate, tough looking manager, and likely the spoiler[hero (heroine).] Interested in where they go from here. Oh, the how they got where they are was good too. |

It took me a while to warm up to the first episode, but by the end I was on board. Seems like this will be a fun series. Really looking forward to spoiler[Emilia the Hero moving in with the lads.]

Even after reading the synopsis of the show, I found myself chuckling more than I thought I would, especially the brief but tense music where spoiler[Maou was thinking about using some of his remaining magic to cook the fries]
 . What struck me first was the ridiculously well-animated introduction. It looks like they put a lot of polish into this episode. The premise gives room for plenty of funny gags, though I hope they don't burn out after the first few eps before "moving on" to the real-life stuff. I hate it when shows do that; they start with a great premise and feed upon it, but by the end of the show it's like they forgot what it was all about.
Anyway, I enjoyed this first episode very much and hope it'll keep making interesting scenarios. |

The beginning looked very promising.
It's a shame they didn't continue with that theme. We'll see if putting them into spoiler[human world] will be interesting. Somehow, it still got me glued to the screen. spoiler[Maou really became his polar opposite]... how pathetic ^^" This is actually pretty good. Think I'll be watching it! |

The part with the fries was honestly one of the funnier moments in anime recently for me. Just the whole agony over it cracked me up.

Ep. 1
I didn't expect Maoh to be so adorable! >///< Look at him get so worked up about his spoiler[black-peppered fries]~ Alsiel kinda cool too as well as Maou's boss lady. The show did a great job setting up the situation as to why and how the two demons arrived to Japan, how they lost their powers, coping with modern day city life (they went to a freaking real-estate agency for crying out loud!), and, ultimately, scoring a spoiler[full-time?] job at McDonalds. Must continue~ |

I thought this was hilarious lol I especially enjoyed their reactions when Mao was able to successfully communicate. "DID YOU EXPECT ANYTHING LESS?!!"
 Definitely gunna keep watching. Love the concept of him going from a near god to a permanent fast-food employee

This seems as though it will be one of those shows that's very entertaining but ends up making everyone depressed when it sells like crap. I was surprised at how well it handled covering any potential plotholes, even though it often had to cram in the explanations artificially to reach the right point in the story at which to end the episode. Looks like there will even be a bit of ecchi next week, on top of the crazy premise and good production values, so this one should be a pleasant watch for me.
