Hataraku Maou-sama was----HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! XD

Ha....ha....sorry....let me try that again.

Hataraku Maou-Sama was one of those shows that only comes around every once in a while, and when they do, there is no reason not to love it. Here is why:

STORY: 

The story was---HAHAHA---Sorry. The story is about Satan (Sadao Maou) and his journey through a portal from his universe full of serious and dark matters, to modern-day Japan. He has no idea where he is, he cannot speak their language, he has no money, he only has one person (his servant, Alciel), with him, and worst of all, he cannot use magic here! Which makes no sense but whatever. Well, he needed cash, right? So what does he do? HE GETS A JOB AT FUCKING MCDONALDS!!!!!---Ahem.....or in this case, "MgRonalds"! XD

*tries so hard not to die laughing* ;o 

Unique. Entertaining. Hilarious! I love it! It's official. Satan is now "The Lord of the Fries." 

ANIMATION: 

The animation was really....pretty. It used a lot of alluring colors and the character design just added to that creativity.

SOUND: The soundtrack was good, along with the opening and endings. The voice acting was also rather good in my opinion.

CHARACTERS: 

My favorite category XD The characters were well-written, comedic, and just plain out awesome. Some of these characters had very detailed personalities, were somewhat relatable (like Urushihara ♥) , and pretty much all of them were super funny. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, this anime/manga was amazing in terms of the categories featured. However, the end of the anime was not good enough to satisfy a majority of fans, including myself. A few bits also didn't make very much sense. Even so, everything else about this show is amazing, so I definitely recommend it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I really enjoyed this series because it genuinely made me laugh. While it held the intensity in between characters, it also showed the simplistic lifestyles of each character. How hard it was for such powerful beings to live on Earth. It was a fun watch and now Im left wondering if a second season will ever be created.

Very entertaining! Lovely characters. Though, It is true for a demon lord he does not act accordingly apart from two sequences where he reveals that he knew all along. This leads me to believe he has planned ahead, without a second season I'd be hard-pressed to recommend this show because the conclusion is moot, it doesn't wrap anything up. But, since there's another season on the horizon, I'm hoping they'll end the story nicely.

Overall I think it's worth a watch especially since they'll be more content.

I love this anime! It's funny, sarcastic, smart ass characters dialogue is simply hilarious! The protagonist, "the Devil" being sent to "another world" which is Earth and not having any powers is one thing. But the fact that he becomes all nice and "human" is just so far out there it simply blows the mind.

For a "take your mind off the trauma of your day" watching. I just love this, only draw back is that it was such a short series. Would have loved to have had more.
