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.

Note: This will be a review of the series in its entirety.

Overview:
"The Devil is a Part-Timer" is an anime that's pretty much exactly as ridiculous as it sounds, but in a good way. It plays with the isekai genre by having a bunch of demons and legendary heroes end up getting trapped in our world, after which they are forced to adjust to the mundane everyday lives of Earth, a premise that's both original and absolutely hilarious. While it's far from being the most complex or thought-provoking anime you'll ever watch, what it does succeed in being is the one thing that any anime ...

Mixed Feelings
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 ...
Sep 1, 2024
One of my first ever anime, and I have to say it hasn't aged well for me. I've seen much better comedies by now and the premise is essentially a reverse Isekai. While it may sound quite basic, it does try its best to utilize its premise for the fun bits between "hero" and "villain," this humor really only lasts for the first half of the series. By the end of the fifth episode, you've seen everything this show has to offer. The characters have a way back home, and the bits of comedy between the characters have been mostly used up. As afterwards, we ...
