Synopsis
In the world of Ente Isla, the Demon Lord Satan has attempted to conquer humanity using an enormous army of demons. But when he almost succeeds, mankind's champion, Hero Emilia, thwarts his plans, forcing him to retreat into a portal that leads to a world unbeknownst to him—Earth.
Along with his faithful servant Alsiel, Satan stumbles upon the modern-day city of Tokyo without any knowledge of the world itself. Completely out of their depth, they gain some information from a police officer, but Satan still has one more problem—money. In order to survive with his greatly diminished powers, he guises himself as a human named Sadao Maou, lives in an apartment, and becomes a part-timer at the fast food restaurant MgRonald's. Determined not only to conquer Ente Isla but also Earth, Sadao strives to become a full-time employee in his job, as he believes that it would be a step forward in his conquests.
Things begin looking up for the once all-powerful demon as he ventures through his everyday life—his job, his home, and his relationships. However, a major setback pops up when Emilia, the hero who drove him out of Ente Isla, suddenly appears... [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Kinda weird how much HEAT this guy got for Maou's ending yet here they are giving him more adaptations.
Guess his new LN sold like ASS huh?
Not at all, He wrote like 3 other titles and none of it has gained any traction.
Also considering the quality of s2 compared to S1, the anime has lesser budget to work with (for reasons unknown).

If anything, they will now adapt all the LNs, and I wont have to read the LN to see the shitty ending it got, saving me tons of time.
Ah, that's a good way to look at it.
Gotta have to try to find some positivity in everything, if possible, my dude. xD

How happy I was when Season 2 was announced…
Anyway, here’s to hoping for a better adaption.

What about A3? Black Fox? Healer Girl? Heaven's Method? Rifle is Beautiful and a goddamn SAO?
But sure, stare at the stopped clock.
Frankly, in the case of Hataraku Maou-sama its problem is mostly that the director just sucks at his job (as expected from the director of a generic isekai (Isekai Cheat Magician) everyone forgot as his only directing job). You give that studio an actual good staff and they can do wonder as they've shown in the past.

Studio 3Hz is a 3rd class studio.
Dimension W, Flip Flappers, Princess Principal.... sure. Keep thinking that.

But as long as she continues to appear in too-tight clothing I will continue to swallow my pride and watch this sub-par sequel. Just keep saying, 'there are worse things on television...'
