So, usually I think it's kind of pointless to review a series after just having watched one episode... but it makes some sense for a show like this one. I say that, because I get the feeling that you will probably know whether you will enjoy 'Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san' if you watch the first episode.
Basically, if you laughed several times like a maniac, then the show's probably right for you. If you instead scratched your head in confusion, grimaced in disgust or was rendered speechless from indignation - then it probably won't be a series you'll enjoy.
'Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san' is a gag show. The basic premise is the story of a freelance detective who harnesses the power(s) of demon(s) to aid him in fulfilling his various clients' requests - but as you'd expect of a gag show, the plot isn't that important. Not yet, anyway; the focus is on the adult humor. The comedy is crude, blunt, and most of all, ridiculous. The brand of humor reminds me more of shows like Family Guy and Southpark in their tone and crudeness.
But guess what? It made me laugh. Several times. And the first episode is only 10 minutes long.
I'll update this review, as the series goes on and my opinion evolves accordingly. For now, this looks worth keeping an eye on. If you're an adult, don't mind crude humor and aren't too squeamish, it couldn't hurt to try the first episode. read more

”Yondemasu-yo, Azazel-san” is a comedy anime by Production I.G, known for Ghost in the Shell and Kimi ni Todoke, amongst others.
The premise is pretty simple, but very functional. A detective called Akutabe summons a demon named Azazel, and the story follows him, his assistant Sakuma, and their various demon helpers as they solve cases and engage in depravity and lasciviousness.
Because the humor ranges from mild to Detroit Metal City-level swearing, visually almost grotesque gags, and numerous mentions of bodily waste. All the demons (unsurprisingly) have some sort of perverse gimmick or vice, and the show pulls no punches when it comes to exploiting these.
Compared to the only other I.G comedy I have seen, Cromartie High School, the humor is very different, though that mostly has to do with the source material. I have not read the manga, nor have I been able to locate it, but I think the anime does a pretty good job on its own of delivering a story that at a few points made me surprised at how involved I had become. Still, it’s nothing to write home about for the most part, but the humor, though juvenile, is great.
The shortness of the episodes make it good for sporadic watching, and I joined in late, but marathonned the first five episodes without noticing it.
The animation is mostly decent, with a couple of scenes with slightly above average fluidity. What makes the show stand out a little, though, is the overall design and expression of the characters. It’s very similar to Sgt. Frog in its simplicity, and while there is not much detail in the appearance of the characters, their over-the-top reactions and facial mimicry reinforce the gags, and do an effective job of bringing the characters to life.
The other thing that brings them to life is the voice acting. The show has a great cast, featuring Kobayashi Yuu (Undine), Nakai Kazuya (Salamander), Kamiya Hiroshi (eBeelzebub) and Namikawa Daisuke (Akutabe). They all give it their best, and do a wonderful job of giving the characters identity, making them lovable (or even more detestable) and they all fit their roles like a hand fits a glove.
If you’re of the opinion that all anime needs to have at least two subtle messages hidden in the plot, and that comedy you don’t consider high-brow is worthless, then you should not watch this. If you liked for example Detroit Metal City or Panty & Stocking (with Garterbelt), then you would probably like this. For everybody else, you’re likely to get a couple of chuckles out of it. read more

Finally something that has the same type of humor. Great anime. Watch it!
They are both fucking hilarious!
They give out the same feeling and make fun out of a lot of things. 'DMC' is a fabulous parody about the music industry, the same way 'Yondemasu yo Azazael-san' laughs about humans, their problems and their true nature.
If you loved either, you will definitely love the other one as well! <3
Same type of humor that uses 'rape as comedy' device often. Both are about 12 minute episode lengths and have extremely crude humor. The strange art style is similar as well.
same type of humor and they both have a short episode length
Both are extremely funny with a ridiculous humor.

Both series's are supernatural madness; Azazel-san featuring quirky demons and troubled individuals, whilst Panty and Stocking features missbehaving angels and quirky 'ghosts' (spirits born of negitive energy).
Demons and Angels are simply on the other end of the same coin.
You'll realise that both series's feature characters that appear to be out to do good, yet things aren't always so straight forward, as they're thrown into an obscure, troublesome scenario, as both serise's have the potential to go in whatever direction they feel like, nothing is out of ordinary.
Finally, both are equally crude with the endless ability to offend; viewer discretion is advised, as both series's, as all rounded as the art styles may seem; are both highly mature.
Basically, if you enjoy tons of perverse/sexual gags, blows to religion, and just nonsensical crude possibly offensive humor that does not hold back, which both PSG and Azazel-san have, you will like both.
