Hataraku Maou-sama!!

The once-feared Demon Lord Satan of Ente Isla, who had to flee to Earth after being defeated by the hero Emilia Justinia, is now leading a peaceful life in Tokyo under the alias Sadao Maou. Having become a model employee of a local fast-food restaurant, Sadao has to provide for his former generals Alciel and Lucifer who joined him in Japan, as well as avoid confrontations with Emi Yusa—the assumed name of Emilia—and the angels who monitor his actions.

Amidst a violent argument between Sadao and Emi, a dimensional portal suddenly appears, carrying a mysterious apple that harbors a toddler named Alas Ramus. To everyone's bewilderment, she imprints on Emi and Sadao, marking them as her parents! After Emi reluctantly agrees to help Sadao take care of Alas Ramus, their semblance of normal life is jeopardized by the appearance of the archangel Gabriel, who comes bearing bad news. He claims that he must take both Alas Ramus and Emi's sacred sword with him—lest the world be destroyed.

Unable to accept Gabriel's grim prophecies, the hero and the former Demon Lord need to put their differences aside and unite to protect what they hold dearest.

Mixed Feelings

This season was kinda mid compared to last.

I will not bore you with the details, but realistically it was a letdown. There was way too much fight and devil scenes compared to the everyday life part.

Comedy was also hit or miss. Alus Ramus is amazing though and deserves most of the credit this season.

Animation is actually not too bad


OP still is quite bad
...
All in all super mediocre hopefully s3 is better


PS You should still watch this season since canonically it wont make since if you skip this season.

Characters are good they all had their own moments...
but yea that's really it
5/10
Thanks!

This season was a huge disappointment. Hataraku season one was not a masterpiece by any means, but it was good at what it was trying to be. A nice mix of reverse Isekai, Slice of Life and a Mystery, all strung together by a charming cast, grounded humor and a wink of the creator.
Like this they were able to mask the problems and focus on the strong aspects of the show.


The problem with this season on the other hand is simple. Nearly every positive aspect of before is gone and replaced with a new negative one. Sadly this way, there is little left to ... hold the pre-existing demerits in check anymore, resulting in this disappointing product.
But let me explain it in a little more detail.



Anmation:
The very first thing you notice is the massive drop in animations quality and designs. Everything is very simplyfied, while the models are melting and limited to no animation is topping things off. It looks like a 10 year old Hentai and not a good one at that. Below average would be a compliment here.

Plot:
Out of thin air our heros get involved with a new plotline, that litterally materialized out of nothing and lands right infront of them. Introducing a ,,cute baby character" that just so happend to be related to 3 different main plotlines.
- One that comes out of nowhere and is completly irrelevat to the story
- The twist one that comes out of nowhere and isn´t expanded on
- The main one that comes out of the blue and isn´t explained
Even the Slice if Life episodes weren´t able to shine. With the mass of new, mostly pointless characters taking up screentime, the overload of established characters and annoying filler material, there is little place to place the fun part in.
On the surface it looks like something in season one would happen, but with no interconnection or heart in any of it.

Character:
The changes to the established characters were rather odd. At times it felt like the reactions were coming out of the wrong persons mouth, as if they simply had mistaken one for another. Or the emotions towards others amplified, but in an unexpected direction.
The stated motivation, background and their doing weren´t realy in line either.
It felt very off, more than once.

Humor:
Gone. None. Nada. Not a single joke or ,,funny situation" landed. Which isn´t great for a comedy.


Such a big waste of time and money. Do yourself a favor and skip this season. Just pretend the story ended in season one, that´s probably the best you can do.
