Though the beginning with the characters in the fantasy world felt very long (and I don't think it actually was in terms of minutes), I really enjoyed the start to this series. Seeing Satan and Alciel in the modern world was certainly amusing. I find the language used in Ente Isla to be somewhat annoying. Interested in how this goes forward.

Hilarious stuff. Very fast paced too.

If you can't be the king of demons anymore at least you can be the Employee of the months by selling lots of Black pepper fries xD

I bet they'll end up going back home and be all friendly and nice to humans after this experience lol

Looking forward to the next episode.

5/5

Wouldn't call this hilarious or anything, but it is an interesting first episode nonetheless.

For a show that's more focused on comedy and satire, the studio sure put some effort into the animation department. Those first minutes were insane.

And also, for a person/being who's responsible for who knows how many deaths, Maou sure acts absurdly polite and kind. Not that I'm complaining tho.

Quite entertaining start overall. Got some really strong "Saint☆Oniisan" vibes when Maou and Ashiya got their department.

Did NOT expect the blood fountain from that girl. The skeleton dude powering up was seriously cool.

Also appreciate that it didn't devolve into slapstick with the MC being incompetent at everything. I decided to watch this on a whim without knowing much about it, and it definitely impressed me in a good way! Not a 10/10 episode but it did make me interested in seeing more.

Nice reverse isekai. I love the idea of a fantasy character getting used to life on Earth and having to assimilate to our way of life. Seeing them struggle with that just makes it seem so real. Anyways Maou seems kinda nice actually, for the Demon King. And Ashiya getting fired is hilarious. Wondering how this interaction between Emilia and Maou will go. Also congrats to him on the promotion.

How long has it been since I've re-watched such a classic comedy reverse Isekai like this one.

Pretty comcal and hilarious like I remembered it used to be between Maou and Emilia. And also the MgRonalds is SOOO iconic.

Got up to episode 8 back in 2016. Restarting from episode 1.

Cops thought Satan and Alsiel were cosplayers. Yeah, from humans POV they'd probably look like some Chuunibyou.

While Sadao earns income, Alsiel researches a way to get them back to their world.

Watching this for the first time. The animation quality surprisingly holds up well for something that is nine years old. Watching this NOW is a surreal experience -- to think that a reverse isekai anime, a subversion of a genre, existed before the isekai genre exploded in popularity. The comedy is so far ahead of its time. Now I understand why so many people like this series. Before, I always thought it was just some random whacky show that at most managed to birth a couple memes

Those first five minutes in the fantasy world was incredible, such beautiful art and animation. I'd love to get an anime with that aesthetic all the way through, I'd suppose Castlevania is the closest.

Never thought I'd see the day when both Japanese and English subtitles appear at the same time.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

Interesting and unique storyline would never have thought of that myself. I tried watching it in dub but it sucked. Here I am watching it in the better sub.

The MC understands more about financial planning than the average American family, and he only settled down on Earth in less than a week.

"The Devil is a Part-Timer!" Episode 1 is a delightful and hilarious introduction to the series. With a unique premise, witty writing, and endearing characters, this anime promises an entertaining and enjoyable experience. The animation is visually appealing, and the voice acting brings the characters to life. While the pacing feels rushed at times, the episode successfully lays the groundwork for the upcoming plotlines. Overall, it's a must-watch for comedy and supernatural genre enthusiasts.

This got a few laughs out of me. Maou and Alciel freaking out when Maou spoke Japanese to the police officer was funny.
