Synopsis

Striking fear into the hearts of mortals, the Demon Lord Satan begins to conquer the land of Ente Isla with his vast demon armies. However, while embarking on this brutal quest to take over the continent, his efforts are foiled by the hero Emilia, forcing Satan to make his swift retreat through a dimensional portal only to land in the human world. Along with his loyal general Alsiel, the demon finds himself stranded in modern-day Tokyo and vows to return and complete his subjugation of Ente Isla—that is, if they can find a way back!

Powerless in a world without magic, Satan assumes the guise of a human named Sadao Maou and begins working at MgRonald's—a local fast-food restaurant—to make ends meet. He soon realizes that his goal of conquering Ente Isla is just not enough as he grows determined to climb the corporate ladder and become the ruler of Earth, one satisfied customer at a time!

Whether it's part-time work, household chores, or simply trying to pay the rent on time, Hataraku Maou-sama! presents a hilarious view of the most mundane aspects of everyday life, all through the eyes of a hapless demon lord.

This is one of the good isekai anime, even though it is included in reverse isekai, the main story is that the demon king and his friends lost the war in another world, then fled to our world in Japan, the funny thing is that the hero who fought with him also came to Japan, and this is where the funny daily life story happens. yes that's right, there is very little fighting action here, almost all the episodes contain the daily life of the demon king working at a food stall. if in the new season there are quite a lot of fighting scenes. ...

This anime is fine - it's lukewarm.

This anime is warming to watch with plenty of heart felt moments. The unbreakable love triangle is constant throughout which adds to the jolly and sensual mood without end. I like love but I like heartbreak just as much. This anime needs some real strife – it needs more tension. I’ve watched both seasons over 2 days and maybe it’s my fault but there is only so much happiness, joy and warmth one person can take. This anime is perfectly warm, it never puts a foot wrong. I dropped this anime four points because it’s simply not the ...

You'd think that a show with an MC named "Satan" would go pretty hard.

This couldn't be further from the truth. Because you see, this Satan isn't evil. He's not even ill-tempered. In fact, he's a pretty stand-up dude. It turns out the whole "evil" thing was just a huge misunderstanding!

This show fails in the way a great many fail: it starts off with a unique and compelling premise, but eventually regresses to a mushy middle. The first couple episodes are funny, but the show starts retreating from the setup almost immediately. Conflicts dissipate without satisfying conclusions. Instead they're replaced with newer, duller characters and plotlines. ...
