The Devil Is a Part-Timer!

This show is epic . It's hilarious and has super lovable characters ! I'm really sad it doesn't have a second season though... Anyway, it made me laugh really hard and was really enjoyable all throughout . The story is one of those laid back short ones that are just really fun to watch . In the beginning ,I literally had no hopes for it , as it first throws you into an intense battle scene between the devil king himself and some angels ( is that what they were ?). I really thought it was going to drop it , but thankfully , I continued and was extremely pleasantly surprised . Right after the battle scene it jumps into comedy and made me laugh genuinely really hard . Then the devil and his right hand man are forced into living in the world of ours and the whole thing is hilarious ( I need to find a new word besides that and funny ) . But yeah , it's really awesome , so you should go check it out .

Many will hate me for this, but that's how I see it. Although at first glance when looking at the first 2 chapters (and some that come later) it seems that it will be interesting and that it has a lot of lore saved for later, the truth is that it does not exploit it at any time. When these important scenes are over, the worst of the worst begins. The series basically boils down to a serious scene, a battle scene, and then 3 or 4 filler chapters. Yes, I understand that the characters do not have their powers and more, but it is that these chapters in between have an extremely generic and repetitive humor (removing certain exceptions that do give some grace), and some of the most filler things i have ever seen, and it is that in the end it simply feels that they put these action chapters very by force, if it weren't for these specific chapters I wouldn't realize that I'm watching an anime that is about demons and that kind of thing. And the series "ends" very openly, with a lot of unresolved doubts. Yes, I know they are going to do a second season, but that is not an excuse for all the other flaws. For the moment, this will be the score that it will have until it improves with time (if im not very lazy to watch it again...).

This is funniest anime, I have ever came across. I laughed the whole time. I can watch this whole day. However, it had only 13 episodes. Sadly there is no 2nd season.

I absolutely loved this show. From the start it seemed to be an interesting twist on a common theme: a slice-of-life show, but not about high school-age kids, and with the twist that all the characters are supernatural beings from another reality. The only exception to this was Chiho, a 16-year-old high school girl and fellow part timer of Maou-sama's (whose Japanese name is Sadao) at "MgRonalds." Blessedly the anime only visited there once, and at night, in search of a place where Maou might gain some magic.

For once, the protagonist is not a hapless, nervous, inexperienced adolescent, but a 300-year-old being that had been on the verge of conquering an entire world. What a pleasure to have a lead that isn't constantly blushing, falling down, and apologizing, but instead is confident but not arrogant, and quickly grasps the situation whatever it might be.

His antagonist is The Hero, Emilia Justina, whose village and quiet family life were wiped out by Sadao's demon armies, and who is sworn to destroy him. However, in Japan, she is puzzled as to why a being intent on conquering his world by iron and fire would suddenly become considerate and helpful in our world, and rapidly advance in the ranks of fast-food employees.

I don't know why either, but it's a wonderful thematic ju-jitsu, leaving everyone from the "good" side of Ente Isla (their homeland) striving to defeat Sadao, while on his part he seems to be far more interested in being a success in his job at MgRonald's. It's never explained, and it never may be explained, but it's a great source of humor.

I haven't yet listened to the Japanese dub yet, but the English dub is great. Nice to see such voice talent without any of the usual suspects in sight, and the "topical" humor is still old enough that everyone has heard it. In one episode a character remarks that the Internet was like "a series of magical tubes,", and in another one of Sadao's generals overhears The Hero and another character badmouthing Sadao in the "Sentucky Fried Chicken" restaurant, and interrupts them with "I WOULD NOT SAY SUCH THINGS IF I WERE YOU!!!" -- straight from "The Princess Bride." I almost fell off the couch.

I just bought my copy in HD video from Amazon. Perhaps a second season will be made. I haven't read the manga yet, so I don't know where the anime ended up, but I'll follow up with that ASAP. This show is a truly original modification of a classic type of anime.

I really love this anime and I look forward to the next season (I hope there will be another season). At the end I just started crying just because I could not believe it was the last episode. The story is very interesting..So are the characters. I would watch this anime 10 times and still I would not get bored. I really recommend it
