I'm impressed. I wasn't actually expecting to enjoy this anime. So funny when they were talking in their "native tongue".

This show gives some serious mood whiplash, going through a high fantasy plot to a contemporary comedy, from the name of the show, you know its coming...but it doesn't make it any less jarring considering how much screen time is dedicated to the early scenes in the old world, and even the before they set up their new identities. I'm not sold yet, but it's still amusing enough to keep watching for now.

I really wasn't expecting to like this series, however the first episode was pretty funny. Love how the hero chased them into the new world too. This series actually seems like it is going to be one of the funnier comedies I have come across.

Pretty funny, weird language they've got by the way, somehow familiar though.

Good start, I laughed every time they talked on that strange language.
Although they made a jump when he was already with a job, I was expecting for them to show more of the time they were new to that world.

This was a very funny and amusing episode XD I am definitely looking forward to watching the rest of this series!

But seriously, Satan working at a McDonalds (or rather, MgRonalds lol)... who the hell came up with this idea? haha

LOL at the parody. And their language. Pretty interesting, so far. Looking forward to more laughs with Sadao/Satan and the rest of the gang.

I really liked that! The beggining got me really excited cause I wasnt expecting so much action, judging by the synopsis of the anime. I loved their arrival to Tokyo; loved that weird language and how they were so clueless upon their arrival.
Loved the art too *.*

Yeah, I was expecting that as well. It feelt like things rushed a bit...
And how come the Great "Maou" was so kind to that red hair girl (who happens to be the "Hero")?
Anyway, why is "The Hero" on Earth as well? Shouldn't her and the rest of the humans be enjoying they victory back in that other world of theirs? ..... I guess she's coming to get him...

This was better than I thought it was going to be.

I wouldn't have minded Hataraku Maou-sama being a dark fantasy anime like it was in the beginning but this is good too.

The main character Maou is pretty funny. I like him.

I have a feeling Chi is going to get annoying really quickly though.

I hope this anime doesn't go in the moe direction because this was a great start!

8/10

I like the anime it looks like it's going to be good BUT I kinda wished the anime was fully based on how it was in the beginning because it was really badass and so was the animation/music. Am I the only one that feels that way lol?

Somehow those people who chose 'hate' or 'dislike' never comments lolol trolls
Anyway, this anime is hilarious, especially that part where the 'evil guys' thinking the landlord is the true 'evil' one xDD
Btw, Maou Sadao? Really? that's wayyy too obvious, can't you come up with something more creative? lolol
And lastly...MAOU-SAMA! GET A CHANGE OF PANT!! IT"S TOO SHORT!!!

That was fun. This episode had many laughable moments.
I like the concept of this, but I hope it won't become normal life story and it will keep going with the story of supernatural living as human.
It is not often when I like first episode so much ;)

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

My god that's true.

I think one of the funniest parts was when they first arrived. Maou's buddy trying to obliterate a police officer but ends up looking like a doofus. I had my doubts about this show at first, but I know I'll love it.

And that is one heck of a twist. The hero right there the whole time.

Pretty good concept. It was pretty decent.

My only quirk is about how they randomly and instantly learned how to speak Japanese over the span of 5 minutes.

Will see how this series evolve.

Rewatching this show for my review of it. Same as Madoka.

The beginning of the episode was pretty badass, too bad they skipped all of Maou's character development during the interim time period, but that doesn't become an issue until later.

Anyway, a few smile-worthy moments, but nothing LOL-worthy. Nothing special otherwise.

4/5

Ohh lol, at first I thought it was gonna be some serious anime. Then it turns out to be comedy with weird language. I think my fansubber is translating it randomly on the different language part at the beginning.

He had a lot of magic powers at the beginning, if I were him I would've made the bank to fill me with all the money they can fill in.

I guess when Satan used his hypnosis on people, he learned the language of Japan.

For Alciel and the girl, I'm not sure. =/ That's what confused me.



Overall, I like this first episode, but I wish it was spread into 24 episodes so we can see how he got accustomed to the human world.

Ok, this turned to be really fun to watch jaja. In the beginning all serious but then Boom! fun and weird jajaja. Satan just used to his new life very quick I must say.

The red head girl looked so cute under the rain <3
Oh by the way Satan, nice legs.

Jaja I loved who they put so much suspense to day-to-day stuff or simple things and how much premeditated all his actions were. And then we finished the episode with a revelation. Good, good. It was a good start.

BTW, White Fox animation: GOOD.


PD: People, don't pay much attention to how they learned how to speak Japanese, this shows goes for comedy, don't over think that stuff in this kind of series =)

I find it pretty funny and interesting... the only thing I don't like is that when he's around humans he acts like a regular person who isn't even remotely evil, offering umbrellas, uplifting his coworker's confidence... I mean he is the devil; I wasn't looking to see the adventures of the average Japanese guy.

You could create a whole series just from the backstory.
