Summary:
In another dimension the Devil King Sadao is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo. As "conquering the world" are the only skills the Devil King possesses - and are obviously unnecessary in his new situation - he must work as a freeter to pay for his living expenses.
Pretty funny, deserves 4.5/5 stars easily. While a lot of the anime isn't particularly inventive or original even at the time of release, and some tropes can arbitrarily be "meh", it has REALLY good delivery.
If you keep watching it, entertainment is guaranteed.
If you look at my other anime reviews here, you will see I hardly ever have anything good to say about anything. So me praising this actually means a lot.
You want comedy- Check
action- Check
Drama- Check
A demon lord and a hero- check and check
This to me has been maybe one of my favorite anime in recent memory and maybe overall. It has comedy that will have you cracking up. It has great action sequences that you will want to watch again. To me in the last few years this was the best anime out there that not as many people talked about. Give it a watch and enjoy!

I really did enjoyed the whole series of Hataraku Maou-sama during the time it was released. I always looked forward to it. The anime never failed to bring the humor out of the characters (between Maou and Ashiya). Plus, where can you find an anime or manga where it's demon lord works at a fast food restaurant?
The moment I watched the first episode, I thought it was gonna be those typical demon stories but no! I was wrong! (and that weird language they've used, it confused me but I got used to that :D)

Its sad how the anime didn't have a concrete ending but I kind of like the ending a bit.
So if you are up for humor, a good laugh that is and just feel the need to crack up, then this anime is one for you. You might not stop laughing because of this good anime. (show less)
