I liked them in a similar way. The main character is kind of evil but kind of not and also kind of lovably enthusiastic. 

Let's be honest there is the demon thing, there are demons in both being funny and morally ambiguous and some attractive demon guys being attractive.

Also there is a love interest who is the really cute, girly, passive character with huge boobs. If you liked one character I feel that you would like the other.

Most notable similarities: Demon king, and Hero.

Hataraku instead has a male demon king/lord/whatever and has a female lead hero/tsundere/whatnot. But a notable difference is that there is no romance between the to leads (at the moment). Beginning seems kind of rushed compared to the manga (same with Maoyuu) but can be quite enjoyable nonetheless.

The two have the same demon to human kind of relationship except one was set in some alternate middle ages setting, while the other was set in modern times.

Both have a hero, both have a demon king (although it is reversed in Maoyuu). 

In both we see that the hero (Yuusha) goes to the demon/devil king to destroy them, but instead the hero ends up cooperating one way or another because of different circumstances. 

Hataraku is like Maoyuu, just set in modern times with less politics and more comedy.

If you like romance between demons or demon and human, then these two are must watch. Maou sama is light hearted and more comic but no ecchi but Maou Yuusha has very serious tone, economics related and have many ecchi moments too. Maou sama has human world where demon/god are trying to adjust themselves so that they can live properly. In the other hand Maou Yuusha is placed in ancient time and full of politics.

Magic can be used for combat and contains an overpowered MC.

Okay, this is dead obvious. I mean, it's like the Hero and the Demon King just swapped bodies!

The ideas conveyed are likely very original and entertaining, and that is why both have a really high spot on my list. Concluding it, I might say that the romantics in both the series aren't overly exaggerated, and in my opinion that is how I like it (without cliched harem and ecchi plots).  read more

The two shows feature a number of the same genres (action, comedy and fantasy) and the female leads share the same voice actress in both languages (Yoko Hikasa and Felecia Angelle).

There are wacky situations, somewhat slapstick, and the character interactions were enjoyable to watch. There is somewhat a romance development between the main characters.

The difference is that Maou-sama is a fantasy-action genre, where a demon main character transports to the human world and finds a job for his next goal. Working is somewhat a normal type of work, with slapstick moments.

Hataraku Maou-sama! and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. Two anime with very strange (but hilarious) titles. How do these relate to each other? Well both main characters (Maou in Hataraku and Yoshii in Baka-Test) are both clueless when it comes to girls, or reality. They both have different reasons, but what makes them so appealing is that they are very naive and unaware of many thing that have been going around them. Another way this is similar is that it shows the differentiation of social classes. In Hataraku, Maou is stuck living in a single room in an old building, due to the fact that his only job is at MagRonald's (parody of McDonald's), while Emi (the antagonist who later turns into a protagonist), is living in a more lofty apartment, due to the fact that she has a better job. This can be seen in Baka-Test, due to the fact that Class F has nothing in it, while Class A has many, many advantages, such as private PC's, air-cons, heaters, plasma TV's, etc. Both anime show the split in social classes, which is a theme that is often used in other anime, but not as ridiculously used as this. Both of these anime have very unique plots, and they both include the use of some form of fighting mechanism (magic in Hataraku, shoukanjuu in Baka-Test). read more

The two animes are both of the type "Welcome to Earth, Bastard!" were the main characters face having to learn and cope with living on Earth, or Japan, more precisely.

Both try to create situations which we would deem normal or easy to solve, but get to have over exaggerated reactions or complete misunderstandings, offering lots of funny moments with the characters.

Also, some out-of-ordinary situations show up to defy the main characters from having their stay peacefully and "minding their own business" on Earth, as well as having a recurrent number of new characters added to the main cast.

Both shows follow a character that is intent on taking over/destroying the world. However in the process of doing so this character takes on the position of a job. Similar styles of humor as both have a lot of jokes centered around the main character's career option. The Devil is a Part-Timer! features a lot of jokes about fast food while Assassination Classroom features a lot of classroom humor. Despite the intentions of the main characters both are actually very likable characters and some of the jokes come from how they interact with other characters.

Gintama addpermalink

The core style of both shows is pretty similar. Both shows are comedic and have single-episode stories as well as longer ones that carry through a few episodes. However, comedy is not the whole point of either show. When you least expect it, things can get serious and intense. So they both share in this style that mixes comedy with serious and heartwarming moments.

The main characters are also both... demons.... though it's not literal in Gintama. They're both easygoing at first glance but they often know a lot more than they're actually letting on and they hide their badassery until it's needed.

I think if you like either show, especially how the comedy mixes with action in it, then you should certainly give the other one a try. read more

Anime: Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu

Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu addpermalink

- Both anime are Isekai's but in Devil is a part-timer, the demon lord ends up in the human world whereas in how not to summon a demon lord, a human in his demon lord form ends up in a game.
- Both the anime are filled with cliched anime tropes where the MC who is dense as hell forms a harem consisting of a furry, a tsundere, a well-endowed waifu girl etc
- In both the anime, the demon lord is the good guy (no one knows why) and does most of the work whereas the girls are just useless most of the time

Servant x Service addpermalink

What a lot of comedy anime lack is a sense of genuine progression in the relationships and dynamics between the characters. Not only do both Servant x Service and Hataraku Maou-sama both show genuine development, but they also incorporate conventions of romance (as well as action in Maou-sama's case) without ever really coming across as angsty and melodramatic, and without dropping their humour.

Kaze no Stigma addpermalink

They both have similarities that really hit me when I finished the show. The main character has issues with the main girl. Both have magic and rom-com moments. I think both are amazing and great and if you like one, you will most definitely like this one.

Suisei no Gargantia addpermalink

These anime are pretty similar in a lot if ways.

First, both the main characters come from different "worlds."

Second, they have to adapt to a new environment because society rules differently on Earth than where they came from.

Third, there is that carefree atmosphere in most episodes.

Last but not least, is that the main characters protect a lot of people in their new "world" I guess...

If you like an anime with a similar angel-demon themed plot, then i recommend this show for you minus the ecchi. Also, both red-hair heroines are voiced by Yoko Hikasa.

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou addpermalink

Although they have extremely different premises, they incorporate the same type of humour.  If you're looking for something fun and absurd, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou and Hataraku Maou-sama! will fit this requirement!
