Crunchyroll describes You're Being Summoned, Azazel:

Have a stalker you just can't shake? Fear your spouse is being unfaithful? You might consider hiring Akutabe, a detective who summons demons to do his dirty work. While his methods might seem unorthodox, he always gets results. However, as powerful as Akutabe is, manipulating demons is delicate art. His new part-time employee sakuma., a young college girl, doesn't get to spend too much time exploring the finer points of controlling demons before Akutabe forces her into a demonic contract with Azazel. Azazel is lazy, lustful and depraved... Everything you'd expect a demon to be. sakuma. needs to keep Azazel on a tight leash, but to do that, she may have to dabble in a little depravity herself.

The first season premiered in 2011, and the second season premiered in 2013. Tsutomu Mizushima (Shirobako, Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan, Genshiken, Girls und Panzer) directed both seasons at the studio Production I.G Right Stuf licensed the series for North America and released both seasons on DVD in 2015.

Crunchyroll describes Sketchbook ~full color'S~:

No matter where she goes, Sora takes her sketchbook along. The world is full of mysterious and beautiful things, after all, and Sora doesn't want to miss a single one. The best way she knows to capture each moment is by drawing and sketching, watching and learning. However, though Sora is full of wonder, she's also incredibly shy. She doesn't have many friends, except for her fellow classmates in the Art Club. But even though they all seem to be slightly crazy (the teacher included), each of them adds another bright color to Sora's world.

The series premiered in 2007. Yoshimasa Hiraike (Kaleido Star, Solty Rei, Wagnaria!!, AKB0048) directed the series at Hal Film Maker. Right Stuf's Nozomi Entertainment licensed the series for North America and released the series on DVD last September.
