There has been a rampant problem in modern 12 episode romance anime, and "As Miss Beelzebub Likes It" sums it up nicely: one step forward, two steps back. The whole anime reeks of this idea. It's barely a romance as it is more of a "story" about two people beating around the love bush. Scratch that, make that 6 characters as there's 3 separate couples in the anime. And none of them get anywhere and it's absolutely infuriating to watch them just keep going round and round and acting all tsundere. It's basically the romance anime equivalent of a carousel.
The characters aren't even that interesting.

Everyone likes fluffy things and...that's it. Maybe this person is a big dude and this girl is a borderline pedophile but that's it. In the end, the only thing going for them is their names and designs. But their names are so long that they're just forgettable.
Speaking of the names, I would finally like to add that the setting makes no sense. Now, a cute version of the underworld is fine, but the author doesn't do anything with the premise besides giving the characters cool names. I forgot they were in Hell while watching considering that only 1 character looks even remotely like a demon, everyone was just born there, and it's just a normal town. While it doesn't completely strip the enjoyment, it just makes me even more perplexed at this series.
With that being said, it's simply mediocre. The art is really cute and some of the soundtrack is quite nice, but that's it. It's just another seasonal romance anime that is better as background noise.
