Preliminary (6/20 eps)
Jahy. Oh Jahy.

If there were a few lines that I could help describe Jahy, I would use that it's a fun, relatable, wild ride from start to finish. It's comedically timed in parts, to get a good laugh out of the viewer. Through moments, or just some character dynamics, and trough certain situations, which really make it funny considering just the meaning behind it alone, combined with how the characters react within such, really make it priceless.

Jahy uses a mix of a story, along with a vast amount of characters that really drive the show home, to make a very enjoyable experience wen watching such. But not only that, but providing some extra bits by the end of it. You'd feel like you're watching a full episode,as it were a dvd, and then getting some of the extras by the end of it on the same disc. It's great stuff.

So with that in mind, let's cover how the show handles shall we?

Story and characters.
As explained, Jahy has a nice story, but what really pushes it, is it's brand of characters. There is so many animes, that have a story, but their cast are so bland, and their personalities really don't mesh well. But here in Jahy, there is none of that. All of them not only mesh well together, but they make the show come alive. Jahy is a wild and over the top prideful number 2 that wants to return to what she once was. Always geting into wild situations, where that be fighting with her not putting up with her shit, but also good natured landlord, to working with a sweet angel of her store manager. To handling the differences between her footing in the human world from her servant Druj,while trying to ensure her servants vision of her isn't destroyed. All the while trying to avoid a strong and weirdly psychotic in a way magical girl. It's quite the cast.

To go on further details upon it's story, it's a pretty simple concept with a great execution. Following a Number 2 demon in Jahy, as she loses her power after her mana crystal was destroyed by the magical girl, as she ends up in the human world, and tries to survive like a normal person, from paying rent, to having a full time job. All the while trying to find mana crystals, in order to restore her power. It's a mixed brand of Slice of life meets fantasy fun that you will just love.

Art and Sound.
A lot can be said about it's art. While in areas it may look like your typical anime, but some of the shine of it really does show. Where it's the demon world, or even just through Jahy's own eyes. But there are also times were it can seem as if it's dull, or does give off that plain vibe, but it's done right. Can't give enough credit there. While the sounds and the reactions of the characters is not only fit for purpose, but the OP and ending is just really good stuff. I'll for sure always remember it.

I'd really recommend giving Jahy a shot, it's bundles of joy from start to finish, and one that I'm glad to be watching.
