Story: I know exactly what you're thinking. When a devil is working in a fast food joint, you'd think this is stupid as hell, am I right? Well, it's a comedy, so what would you expect? Actually, it goes a lot deeper than just the King of Devils being trapped in the mortal world, trying to get along by working at a Japanese parody of McDonald's. There are emotional moments. There are painful battles to watch. There are friendships being made here. It does more than just tell jokes about the devil working as a part-timer. I will tell you that the manga explains a lot more since this show is only 13 or less episodes with no season 2 in the works as of now. It made me want more, and I guess because it was harping on the fact that I should read the original source material, that's why it's the way it is. Is it bad? No, but don't be shocked that it has a cliffhanger. 8/10

Art: The art is pretty clean, but I expected a lot more out of it. I mean, the designs that come down the road later are creepy to the bone, and they work, but I expected a lot good fighting scenes and I didn't get that. I guess I'm being spoiled because I expected it to be like Stigma of the Wind, but it's not. But still, I would've appreciated a little more dedication into it. So I would say 6/10.

Sound: The opening is very catchy. It also tells you immediately what the story is about. But seriously, the catchiness is so fun because the show is meant to be fun. It starts going to downhill in the endings. They were pretty boring, so when I watched them on Netflix, I just skipped to the next episode. It's not all bad though, so I would rate this an 8/10.

Character: The characters are a pretty interesting bunch. However, you know how much I hate the bitchy female lead. Kinda like Maka from Soul Eater, her only personality is to be the hero of Heaven and to destroy all evil at all costs even when Maou is not doing anything wrong. Sure, she has redeeming qualities around her friends, but her only emotion towards Maou is hatred, and I can't stand it! Maybe the manga shows more personality out of her, but this bitch is annoying in the anime. Just warning you now. Speaking of Maou, though he may be single-minded at times, he does care about the people close to him. I think the joke is for him to say that his job is important to him, but he's more than that entirely. Even his assistant is hilarious. Oh, when you meet Lucifer, that's when it gets good. However, I think the best girl character is Chiho. She plays the innocent, and she's absolutely smart, and she does have a life of her own. It's not like her whole purpose is dedicated to Maou. However, she does have her funniest moments, and I feel bad that she tries to get Maou to like her, but he doesn't notice at all. I can easily say that characters are an 8/10.

Enjoyment: I thought this show was funny, but it's not Assassination Classroom. I don't know if it's because I watched the dub over the sub, but I don't think that matters. I still found it fun to watch. I've seen better, but it's still good, so 7/10.

Overall: Do I recommend this show? Uh, sure, but as soon as you finish this show and you haven't already, read the manga. If you read the manga first, you'll be pretty disappointed. That's why the finished product rating is 7/10.
