    Hataraku Maou-sama



    Summary: The Demon Lord and one of his generals, Alsiel, escape through a portal to modern Tokyo, Japan after being confronted by the Hero Emilia Justina and her companions. However, due to the lack of magic in the modern contemporary world, both the Demon Lord and Alsiel change into forms representing what they would look like if they were human. In order to survive, the Demon Lord takes a part-time job in a fast food restaurant named MgRonald while Alsiel serves as a houseman. One day, the Demon Lord, who now goes by Sadao Maō, meets a girl who is actually the Hero Emilia, who now goes by Emi Yusa.

    I love this so far. Great animation, characters, and humour. Hopefully the story does the show justice, but even if it doesn't (rarely ever does) the ride is great.

    Really enjoying this show this season too! Great comedy and chemistry between the characters, whom are the right blend of cliche and unique

    I love this show. The comedy/humor is played just the way I like it, and when things get serious the characters are still cool. My second favorite show this season after Attack on Titan.

    If I remember correctly that vote picture is actually shooped from something much older. Anyway, this is one of my favorite shows this season. The plot is so ridiculous and unique.

    I thought they weren't picky. At least that's what ecchi would suggest.

    While I was happy with the show overall, the last episode went out with a whimper. I'd like to see a second season though, still some much potential left to explore.

    I was thinking the same thing until the very end scene in the rain.
    That was a sweet ending. I would definitely like to see more though, of course.

    The last scene was very nice, but the main plot of the episode was pretty lame.

    Spoiler: show
    I was really hoping that when the company president/yakuza wannabe started threatening Maou that he'd go full Overlord mode and be all "What now bitch?" Getting it all undone on a legal technicality was pretty underwhelming/not funny, even if Maou's face when everything was being picked up was good.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Most animes have their climax happen the second to last episode, with the final being sort of a cooldown/closure thing.

    With that said, since they've kinda split seasons in half now, I'm sure it'll get the second half.

    It better get a second season... needs more...!

    I thought the anime did pretty much what it needed to do. Feels like they could've explored more about Maou's past (since we get to see Emelia cry for like an entire episode about hers) and the demon side of Enta Isle, but it was pretty much ignored (I get the feeling the conflict gets resolved around that point).

    If they have a second season I'll be more than happy enough with where it left off, because beside plot movement, this show, the characters and their dynamic are great fun to watch and I don't regret a single moment of it.

    Yeah it really seems like it needs a 2nd season considering how much plot is left to explore. Oh and "plot" too
