Reviews for The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!

Have you watched The Devil is a Part-Timer and also waiting for Season 2 of it to air? It has really been almost a decade huh... well if you’re impatient for Season 2 of it, then you better check out Jahy-sama, which is a pretty underrated show this season. It's surprising to see its rating pretty low... at 7.18 (as of editing this review at Sept. 15) In short words, Jahy-sama is literally Part-Timer... but the main character is a loli. It shares the same concept with Part-Timer, aka a powerful being (in this case, Jahy-sama, the second-in-command just behind the Dark Lord) in the darkworld (or in this case, the Dark Realm) where they get beaten by a hero in that dark world and then suddenly our characters will be greeted to the wonderful world of Japan or in short term... reverse isekai.

Although Jahy-sama tries to be unique as well. It has these mana crystals where their power is stored. Our main heroine, Jahy, and her associates try to collect all mana crystals that are scattered throughout the entire wor- I mean Japan. Once they do, they slowly restore their power and finally rebuild the Dark Realm.

The art itself is nice. Silver Link has adapted another good anime. Although don’t expect too much from the studio. They’re a pretty above average studio so don’t get your hopes up in this anime.

The OP is really good. It’s perhaps like the 3rd best OP this season, only behind Goddess Dorm and Kobayashi S. Oh and the ED is nice too.

The jokes mostly get me laughing. It also has the same vibe as Part-Timer when it comes to it, but somehow Jahy-sama is stronger in it.

How is this anime so far? Pretty good. If you want to sit back and have some fun, this is another anime for you to watch.

After watching the first six episodes of this I have come to the completely justified conclusion I've already seen everything the show has to offer. It's the anime equivalent of putting your ear next to a fax machine for 20 minutes. There is literally nothing of real value on display; the art is mediocre and the animation is stiff, even for a seasonal FOTM "comedy" and the jokes are so far from landing you can't even hear the impact. The story and characters are about as deep as a mountain. Another thing is the fact that every single joke has the exact same punchline and execution;someone does something goofy or something bad happens and the characters obnoxiously shriek about it to explain the joke to the audience in case we weren't capable of comprehending the truly masterful utilization of comedy and pretense. I know this is (apparently) a staple of Japanese humor but they repeat this joke format like fifteen times in a single episode. If they added a laugh track it would still manage to be less subtle.

Jahy's voice is cute but it's not enough to make me want to watch any sort of animated media related to this franchise again. Everything in this gives me a migraine, even the soundtrack is obnoxious. Nagatoro genuinely looks like a Mamoru Oshii production in comparison to whatever incoherent nonsense this is supposed to be

"If we can't get true happiness then this will do" Slice of Life, Wholesome, and Cute anime appeal to all sorts of anime fans, it's completely fine if it's not your thing but the majority should agree that media like this can't hurt to give a watch, and Jahy Sama backs this claim up big time. Jahy Sama filled a hole in my heart longing for something that I could just laugh and smile at, nothing too special but nothing to straightforward and average, it just sort of fit into place and cemented itself in the genre just like that. Breaking it down everything really excels in alot of places or at least does well, so let's take a look.

Plot/Story: 7/10, Demon takes massive L in hell, gets turned into a loli, and now fends for herself in a cruel world out to get her with evil humans to lay waste (or so she thinks). Perfect set-up for a show like this, the wholesome, sweet content and ideas ready to spill out. no complaints here. executed very well.

Characters: 8/10, every great show needs a great cast, And here they don't fall short, from Jahy herself to the Landlord to Kyoko the magical shojo who sent her to earth in the first place. all have a role to play and fit right in. Especially Jahy Sama, not only being a perfect protag but seeming development in the works as well, acknowledging humans aren't so bad as they may be I believe deserves massive credit.

Art: 8/10, Vibrant, Colorful and bright, Silver Link does an amazing job making this show really come to life. and the quality hasn't dipped so far so I'm happy with it.

Enjoyment/Overall: 9/10, I like it, it's great, it's funny, cute, wholesome, and puts a smile on my face. Nothing I would change, just another good anime here.

Repetitive and unimaginative. Episodes feel the same and jokes get old quickly. The story has no depth and characters are simple archetypes that sadly don't have much originality to offer. Animation itself is just fine, nothing out of ordinary as expected for this type of show. Not much to say about sound either, op song is catchy although I would put the ed song in the "for hyperactive kids" category. Other than watching the overused trope of "looks like a child but it's actually a hundreds years old demon" with bondage-like clothes and having her pants fall whenever she shrinks, I don't see what else can ashow like this offer to justify a 20 episodes run.

Hopefully it will get better in the future, but I won't be the one spending time to find out.

It's a comedy about the daily life of a loli (not really tho), what do you expect? This show is surprisingly good, the comedy might not hit everyone, but the wholesomeness and characters surprised me. This anime is dumb, but in a good way, it's a nice escape from other animes. I'll make this short, this show has semi-low lows and kinda high highs. The first few episodes may be repetitive and kinda boring, and I think they could have done better at expositions, but as the show progressed it got pretty good. The jokes may not be for everyone, but that's not all to thecomedy aspect. It's main comedy focuses on the over-expressive characters and the sheer stupidity of some situations. The show's main high point is the character growth and relationships, they are surprisingly satisfying to watch.

So, the show focuses on the daily struggles of the Great Jahy, the Demon Realm's No.2, as she gets reverse-isekaied to Japan. And she has 1 goal in mind, to resurrect the Demon Realm, it's literally written on her shirt. She works hard, hits some lows, but soon grows to like the earth. She grows to love the people around her and learns to show selflessness to help others, as she was helped.

My only complaints are that the exposition portion was repetitive, the comedy falls flat sometimes, and the rest of the cast could have gotten more development or growth. I would've wanted to see conflict that wasn't just from landlady, but that's about it.

The characters are dumb, but that's the point is it not? They are so absurd that it becomes funny to watch their interactions with Jahy. Shop owner is too nice, that she gets anyone to love her. Landlady is too normal, actually the only rational person, which is kinda her joke. Druj is just dumb when it comes to Jahy, and I actually really like their interactions, since Jahy changes back to Demon Realm mode. Kyouko was a very interesting and mysterious character, but her character has nice depth to it, and like Druj, her weakness is Jahy. Kokoro, gives the show a nice wholesome vibe, she's too pure and all of us, including Jahy, want to protect her. Last is Salwa (best girl, fight me) she adds depth on the Demon Realm stuff and it's really funny to see her fail (that sounded wrong).

Overall, this anime was a ride, it had its fiar share of flaws, but pulled through in the end. The surprising wholesomeness just warms my heart. Good anime....Salwa best girl.

Is my review biased because I’ve read the Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! manga before watching the anime? Yes. Alright, now with that out of the way let’s continue. I am not the type of person to get hyped for things. I have only ever felt minor excitement for new or continuing, video games, anime series, book series, manga series, albums, or nature documentaries. However, I felt a moderate amount of hype for Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! Upon reflecting on why I felt this way, I concluded that it was because this was the first time I have ever read the manga before watching the anime. An unimportantdetail for you maybe, but a new event for me. Now I understand how dangerous hype can be, if I allowed myself to expect too much, I would have been let down regardless of how good the final product would be. However, level-headedness prevailed. So, I can safely say that this is a good adaptation. Sure the animation could be better, but, I can still recognize that the story and the sound in Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai are lovely. You might not like this type of iyashikei anime like I do, but if you do, you are definitely in for something special. 8/10.

*Spoilers beyond this point*

The story of Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! is about pain, suffering, bills, and half victories.

From struggling to grow a tomato plant, to paying rent, from finding mystic gems in the ocean to getting lost in the wooded area behind her apartment. It just makes me happy. Watching every week to see The Marvelous Misadventures of Jahy really warmed my heart this summer and fall. Even though I liked the story, there are problems. Including one of my biggest pet peeves, a character being physically different and others having no comment about it. Jahy, Salwa, and Druj ann have pointy ears, but all of the humans don’t seem to mind. It would be one of my first questions. “What’s up with your ears there small child? Why do they remind me of Legolas?” But that’s only a pet peeve and not a major problem. A real problem I have with the story is that the magical girl and Jahy becoming (very) fast friends make no sense. Yeah, Jahy sees part of herself in the magical girl (pain, suffering, half victories, and so on), but she still destroyed the demon realm. I would still be absolutely furious if someone destroyed Earth and then wanted to be my friend. Another thing I really did not like is the rushed ending. The entire climax took only one and a half episodes, and it was also anti-climatic. It’s a real shame because it could have been a better one given proper time. Finally, I am in two minds about skipping the whole “Hi, I’m Jahy, the Deamon Realm’s number two, now give me a job and a place to stay.” On one hand, it is nice to get right into the show without the introductions, but on the other, I think it would be nice to see the introductions.

One of the things that might upset the Jahy-sama manga readers alone is that the anime is not a shot-for-shot remake of the manga. Some parts are added, or removed, or changed from the manga. Most of these changes don’t really bother me, but the one thing that did was the fact that they took out some of the meme images that the manga spawned. This is disappointing not only because they would be funny to see in motion, but also they could make people want to watch the show. A thing that bothered me, and maybe nobody else on this planet, is that the anime showed Jahy at the bathhouse, but then waited to show Salwa’s perspective in the next episode. It should have been one after another to help the flow.

When this adaptation was announced in mid to late April, I hoped that Kyoto Animation would be behind this adaptation. But, instead, we got Silver Link. Now, I have seen some of Silver Link’s work before, and I found the animation ranging from very good to okay. And I can safely say that the animation in Jahy-sama lands considerably in the good section. Not okay, not very good, but good. The colors are nice and vibrant and the color pallet is nice and consistent. So, this leads to a very nice comedy anime adaptation. The colors and some of the animation looks good in both OPs and EDs. However, I do have serious criticisms with the animation. When a person moves, the arms, legs, head, or the whole body moves either as a blur or in a snap motion. Now a lot of anime do this, but what really gets me is when these animation problems are in the OP or ED. These are critical animation parts of the anime because it is what the viewer sees at the beginning and end of every episode. Also, it is the same 90-second loop. Silver Link really should have put more effort and time into these OPs and EDs. I would have scored the animation lower, but I really enjoyed the good parts of the visuals in both of the OP and both EDs.

Not only did I like some of the visuals of the second OP and both EDs, but I also loved the music in all four of them. All four songs were upbeat and catchy. They fit very well with the bright and vibrant colors of the show. The voice actors chosen to portray these characters are all fantastic too. The voices of all of the characters fit very well, and when I read the manga, I thought that they would have very similar voices. However, I also believe that there was room for improvement. I would of have had all of the voice actors go a bit further when voice acting their characters. For example, I believe the store manager should have leaned a bit more into the motherly “ara ara~” archetype. Also, I would have made adult Jahy’s voice a little deeper, a little more commanding, and a little more confident than it is. Since this is a comedy anime, I don’t think the voice acting quality would be compromised by these slight changes.

Watching Jahy go from “For the love of the Dark Lord, why do I have to be around all of you moronic humans?!” to “Yeah. I guess you guys are my friends.” Seeing her slowly change throughout this season is not only better done than quite a few other anime, but also really fun to watch. The magical girl also has some character development. Although, it is not very extensive. She goes from foe to an obsessed friend. Her interactions with Jahy are fun to watch too. While only Jahy and the magical girl are the deepest characters, the other characters are fun and/or interesting.

Honestly, even though I have criticisms with all aspects of this show, I still loved it. Watching Jahy and her band of colorful friends fumble about daily life, really warmed my heart. There were days when I really looked forward to Saturdays because I knew that a new episode of Jahy-sama was waiting for me at home. Now, not everyone has the same taste as me. So, this anime won’t before everyone. However, if you like this type of iyashikei anime like I do, you are in for something special. I walked away from this anime feeling satisfied, happy, and hopeful for another season. Overall, the characters, and animation get a 7, the story an 8, and the sound and entertainment a 9. For a final score of 8/10.

The great Jahy will never be defeated recap (mild spoilers) After the demon realm is destroyed by a hero, The Demon realm's second in command Jahy and her underlings get sent into another world. This new world is void of magic or any royalty/peasantry status so Jahy is forced to succumb to the work culture in order to make ends meet while also finding red crystals to repair the demon realm. As Jahy becomes more accustomed to this new world she finds it isn't as bad as she initially thought and befriends many humans; She also finds many comrades who have become successful or justplain lazy. The great Jahy will never be defeated is a fun and playful comedy reverse-isekai with a lot of promise, will Jahy be able to repair the demon realm or will she prefer the new life as a bar waitress?

Story & Characters: 7/10

The story at first didn't appear interesting but after watching the first few episodes, I was hooked. Although comedy is a large element in the show, there are underlying elements like plot and narrative goal as well as fairly clear world building. Jahy is a playful take on good vs evil and shows us that change in environment and personal influence can have a significant impact on a person's way of life. After many hardships and successes, Jahy grows to find that there is more to this new world and grows fond of its people. However, that isn't all the story; Despite its comedic appeal the great Jahy has an unpredictable storyline with bad people becoming good and good people becoming bad - It doesn't have the level of violence as other demons series but it raises an interesting idea that "yesterday's enemy is today's friend". After Jahy transports she has many fights which usually end in a stalemate where she drops the rivalry and befrienss her enemies. I really enjoyed this approach instead of losing a character to her own character development. Many of the human characters in the great Jahy aren't scared of Jahy but instead help her in hard times or even fight her which may be the biggest influence in her change of demeanor. Overall, the story is more playful and doesn't unnecessarily kill characters for the main character's development.

Art & Sound: 7/10

The art style is good quality the animation as well for that matter. The character designs for Jahy are generally on the moe-side and in adult form it's more explorative. I enjoyed the set designs because they're consistent throughout the entire show as well as a lot of the character designs. The art tends to fall apart in wide shots and series itself implements a lot of wide shots but they and the slideshow animation don't devolve the overall visual experience as much as I thought they would.

Some of the music in this series is used to sound adventurous and fun which is a good approach. Many of Jahy's hardships come from her ability to transform into an adult so in her child form there is a lot more comedic elements at disposal on her and sound is one of the better elements used. The voice acting is suitable and very entertaining especially from the landlady, Jahy and the hero.

Overall & Enjoyment: 7/10

I'm glad I was able to watch this show; There are a lot of flaws with this type of show like its comedy delaying a lot of plot progression especially in the beginning or some events feeling longer than expected. However, overall I really did enjoy the friction build up especially toward the end of the show with the Demon Lord and Justice.

The great jahy sama will not be defeated is a very basic iyashiki (feel good) anime with concepts that will certainly appeal to the slice of life crowd. It has all the basic requirements for it and it just does it well This is pretty much why this is a benchmark anime The “GOOD” iyashiki anime where any other iyashiki anime below this is bad and above this is great Jahy sama is basically benchmark since it is uh let’s say “inspired” to use the tropes of the more out there iyashiki , like the very famous kobayashi’s maid dragon. They take them and justdo what any SOL does and do it well .It is slightly unique but sticks to the trope at its core for eg since maid dragon s2 is also airing this season i will give you character comparison to prove my point:-

Onee san who helps you feel good when you are down.(and lewd her when not) (res owner) (lucoa) Check

A person who you keep bickering with but are very close to deep down. (landlord) (elma) check

LOLI. (and she aint lewded on as well !) (jahy chibi) (kanna) check

Quirky joke setting character, in this one its a masochist (M maids are pretty popular) in maid dragon a Tsundere. (Druj) (fafnir) check

And that should be enough to point it out ig

And that is why I think ...

This is just the most 7/10 slice of life you will ever see and that means it’s a good watch. Hence everyone who has the time must watch it

"The longer the journey, the more profound its challenges, the more it changes all who endure it." - Maghra Season 2 of Hataraku Maou-sama! has finally been greenlit and confirmed, and Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! is now once the perfect stop-gap show while waiting for the MgRonalds Madao Satan Demon to rescindle his rightful position. But is this show more than enough to warrant watching this weekly and tirelessly for the 5 months while this aired? Let's find out. The adaptation from mangaka Wakame Konbu's work of the same name, and you can immediately put two and two together why I and so many others compare this toHataraku Maou-sama!. Jahy-sama operates on two phases, since this is a 5-month, 20-episode long 2-cour series: the Magical Girl side covering the 1st half, and the Dark Lord side covering the 2nd half.

At the very beginning, the reverse-Isekai features that are akin to Hataraku Maou-sama! plays out like you'd expect: a demon being (in this case, a demon girl) that has her world powered by the mana crystals (that gives strength to the Dark Realm) that's shattered by the Magical Girl, only to fall from grace into the human world as a childlike being but a loli (because all demons instantly lose their powers) to go and gather them to restore the Dark Realm, once and for all. The plot is as simple as that, but the only thing that the Great Jahy has obstructing her path is the Magical Girl a.k.a Kyouko Jingu whom destroyed her world in the first place, and is attempting to do the same in the human world. Thankfully, the Great Jahy-sama does not do this alone, and has her subordinate Druj a.k.a Nana Dojima to help her out, except that she's a wealthy woman leading a consultant company as its president, and that Druj has all the wealth to assist Jahy in finding the mana crystals. While all of this is going on, Jahy has to find a way to make her daily life useful, so she is taken in by the Ara-Ara store manager of the pub known as "Craft Pub Maou" while being forced to live in a run-down apartment that's run by the landlord, her sister Ryou. Oh, and plus the tremendously idiotic and hilarious Salwa, whose inventive plans and strategies always ends up failing due to her carelessness. This is actually not a bad start to the series, considering that if you have watched Hataraku Maou-sama! before, you would already know how all this worked out before with the supernatural setting and the comedy attached to it. A great 1st half if you ask me.

Alas, being a 2-cour show, once the inclusion of the Dark Lord (the 1st-in-command) enters the highway, this I feel just took the show in a worse direction. The only good thing that came out of it was the inclusion of Kokoro, this innocent-looking elementary school girl that Jahy notices that she could be her next subordinate in helping her find more mana crystals. The Demon Lord character isn't bad, but looking at the way of her reaction being a non-talkative demon while simultaneously being a glutton of all things and taken care of by the Magical Girl, she's basically a mute that only responds to the things of like. Sadly though, mangaka Wakame Konbu's writing also suffers from constant repetitiveness of its gags and jokes, that once you've already seen it a few times before, you already know what to expect, and it doesn't take long for the comedy to become so stale and boring. So, I would say a great start that boggled down by the progression of the source material, adding characters that are essential to the series while putting a backburner on the comedy side. It's not an after-thought since it has already been established right from the get-go.

The Great Jahy-sama as a character can seem overwhelming at first glance because of her nonchalant behaviour to quickly get things done back to the original state with her confidence, vigor, and ambitions, and that is how we're supposed to see her from the start. It's only overtime that characters like the Ara-Ara store manager and the landlord (Ryou) sisters begin to open Jahy's hardened heart to softness and compassion towards the humans, the most significant of them being the innocent Kokoro which sees her as not just an ally but as a friend, that opens up Jahy's character development. The others like Jahy's former assistant Druj though, as much as she is the head of the conglomerate company she is leading as the president (which means money isn't a big problem), she is simply a genius character who carries all the great comedy being one that's in love with how Jahy treats her like a S&M, that even better, is VA-ed by the one and only HanaKana, which absolutely fits her character to the T. The battle to the death against the Magical Girl Kyouko Jingu, I'd fathom that Jahy doesn't even need to retaliate too much despite the fact that she destroyed the Dark Realm in the first place, because she is a parody of a hero character, a klutz out to save people from their misfortunes. The more mana crystals that she collects, the greater the karma of bad luck. Even more detrimental is Salwa (or Saurva if you wish) who aims to take Jahy's place as the 2nd-in-command, and you can think of her as the sidekick to present some kind of rivalry that her plans constantly goes awry each and every single time. A decent character to break the mold, but not by much.

Production-wise, don't expect too much from the decent studio that is Silver Link, and as much as the quality is concerned for long-running shows like this one, director Mirai Minato and his staff team (which surprisingly has hit-or-miss series composer Michiko Yokote onboard) did their best to keep it decent without being too flashy, because really, this show doesn't need that glamour. Sound-wise, this is also another show where I'd find that the former half's OST is the much better one compared to the latter half in every single regard. I mean, Yui Ogura's OP and the NEGI☆U Hololive ED were the perfect starter OST songs set for the show, giving it the appeal that the show really needed to stand out from the outset. While Sumire Uesaka's OP and Miho Okazaki's ED for the 2nd set ain't bad, it felt like a significant downgrade from seriousness to all-play mechanics. Remember that this is a show that's set on comedy roots, and I must say that I'm kinda disappointed that the show took an abrupt turn even on aspects that felt even the most minor.

Overall, I'd feel that this show could've been made as just a 1-cour 12/13 episode production, and since that would've been enough for fans to clamor for another season of Jahy-sama, I'd guess that stretching this to a 2-cour made the most sense to encapsulate the entire (translated) source material (as of the posting of this review). Also, because of its weird starting date 1 month exact into the Summer season in August, while there's clear Ws and Ls about this move, the distinction is that Jahy-sama, as good as it can get for a mime-ified version of Hataraku Maou-sama!, while feeling sub-standardly inferior to the former, the enjoyment is as much as the show starts to wear on your patience on the execution of its comedy, which is the constant variable.

See to it how you'd want to enjoy watching The Great Jahy Will NOT Be Defeated!, but it's a decent show for me.

Jahy. Oh Jahy. If there were a few lines that I could help describe Jahy, I would use that it's a fun, relatable, wild ride from start to finish. It's comedically timed in parts, to get a good laugh out of the viewer. Through moments, or just some character dynamics, and trough certain situations, which really make it funny considering just the meaning behind it alone, combined with how the characters react within such, really make it priceless. Jahy uses a mix of a story, along with a vast amount of characters that really drive the show home, to make a very enjoyable experience wenwatching such. But not only that, but providing some extra bits by the end of it. You'd feel like you're watching a full episode,as it were a dvd, and then getting some of the extras by the end of it on the same disc. It's great stuff.

So with that in mind, let's cover how the show handles shall we?

Story and characters.

As explained, Jahy has a nice story, but what really pushes it, is it's brand of characters. There is so many animes, that have a story, but their cast are so bland, and their personalities really don't mesh well. But here in Jahy, there is none of that. All of them not only mesh well together, but they make the show come alive. Jahy is a wild and over the top prideful number 2 that wants to return to what she once was. Always geting into wild situations, where that be fighting with her not putting up with her shit, but also good natured landlord, to working with a sweet angel of her store manager. To handling the differences between her footing in the human world from her servant Druj,while trying to ensure her servants vision of her isn't destroyed. All the while trying to avoid a strong and weirdly psychotic in a way magical girl. It's quite the cast.

To go on further details upon it's story, it's a pretty simple concept with a great execution. Following a Number 2 demon in Jahy, as she loses her power after her mana crystal was destroyed by the magical girl, as she ends up in the human world, and tries to survive like a normal person, from paying rent, to having a full time job. All the while trying to find mana crystals, in order to restore her power. It's a mixed brand of Slice of life meets fantasy fun that you will just love.

Art and Sound.

A lot can be said about it's art. While in areas it may look like your typical anime, but some of the shine of it really does show. Where it's the demon world, or even just through Jahy's own eyes. But there are also times were it can seem as if it's dull, or does give off that plain vibe, but it's done right. Can't give enough credit there. While the sounds and the reactions of the characters is not only fit for purpose, but the OP and ending is just really good stuff. I'll for sure always remember it.

I'd really recommend giving Jahy a shot, it's bundles of joy from start to finish, and one that I'm glad to be watching.

I'd like to preface this review in saying that it took MONTHS for me to finish this anime. I liked the characters and the overall story, but after several episodes the anime got stale for me. The only way I was able to finish this show was to watch it while working. It all gets repetitive after awhile, even if the quality is decent enough for the watch. If you want to watch something good that'll keep you interested all throughout, this isn't that show. If you need something to listen to the background or watch from the corner of your eye, then this showwill suffice.

The story is neatly simple, it is focused on the characters' experiences rather than plot progression just like other comedies. The situations created almost never fail to be comic and fun because the characters and interactions are gold. It can be repetitive sometimes, but I think this is expectable from simple stories. Art and sound are perfect in the sense that they are adequate for the genre and have no problems whatsoever. If there is a highlight I think it is the voice acting, it is impressive how they fit the characters' personalities. Overall it is an awesome show, my favorite comedy so far.

Calling the adaptation of Jahy-sama anything but abhorrent would be praising the efforts of the studio, because honestly, this anime is completely devoid of any single redeeming quality, not giving a single fuck about doing something that is not the lowest effort fast food shit ever. From the animation to the soundtrack, from the pacing to the comedy timing, anything that could make something of quality was thrown out of the window from the episode 1, because apparently using the voices of Aqua, Subaru and Nenechi in the ED was enough to attract the viewers to this pathetic experience Anything that I can say in thisreview is not harsh enough, the amount of laziness and carelessness is just beyond the shamelessness of the medium, to the point that I could imagine them laughing at every single preventable error, thinking about the crappy quality of their product, and I wouldn’t blame them, I would laugh too. The main offender of this whole train wreck is the animation, which is a complete waste of electric energy and any natural resource used to create this, and I mean human resources too. I could understand that some innocent mind would say “Dude, this anime doesn’t need a big bucks animation”, and I gently agree, but I’m not talking about big flashy bangs cumload highlight reel animation, I’m talking about basic human decency animation, I’m talking about not doing a terrorist attack to the fundamentals of art. To exemplify this, I would go to the most pathetic example (Spoilers ahead), the fight between Jahy and the Mahou Shoujo. The fight between Jahy and the Mahou Shoujo featured a background with some random ass stairs, those random ass stairs, that didn’t even play a role in the whole scene, had a different size and inclination at each single take, fisting any sort of theory about perspective, could that be a joke that played with the absolute ass quality of the fight? Is the trashiness warping the time-space? I don’t know, but it was jarring to see, to the point that it is obvious that they noticed and didn’t even care about fixing it (And I’m talking about a static background, take it for granted that the figures of the characters are just cardboard shapes). Such fight is not an isolated case, the concept of perspective just doesn’t exist in the strange world of Jahy-sama, we get random texts that are supposedly attached to doors floating in space because they didn’t even rotate them accordingly to place them correctly, we get characters being three times their supposed size because they just copy-pasted them, is this a consequence about the destruction of the Dark Realm? I hope it is, but these preventable errors are just a sample of how negligent about anything this anime is.

Sadly, the negligence affects the comedy too. In this case I just don’t know about how the manga treats the comedy, but I suppose that the composition of it would make the experience bearable because you can fast-forward through it without dragging the intended joke, drawing your attention correctly between the panels or whatnot. Sadly, this doesn’t work in anime, you need to guide the viewer through an established time to present the punchline in a precise moment, giving them enough time to elaborate the narrative but not enough time to decipher the whole scheme. For sure, this anime gives you enough time to understand the narration, you can make a tea, do a marathon, play some Wii Sports inspired by the blatant copy of the soundtrack, 56, 24, 36, and the punchline is still waiting to be delivered. It is just unbelievable. The anime drags every single punchline to the point that I’m sure that the people who directed this are just comedy talibans, in a mission of destroying every single ounce of fun that can be generated through the apparently set of worthful ideas. Is this a consequence of the animation? I would say it is, if you drag the punchline to mental asylum levels you can play more with still frames that brings absolutely nothing to the joke, incorporate less scenery, cutting every single corner. This works sometimes because it adds suspense, or because the joke benefits from being dragged a bit longer, but most of the time the joke is the fact that we are supposed to laugh at something that can be seen from the ISS

The agonizing dumpster fire of the execution of this anime can just be saved by the interactions between the characters, which brings some remarkable points, portraying ideas about how we perceive themselves in relation to the others, how we define what is important to us, how we define the expectations of the others over us, or a simple innocent misunderstanding that allows us to perceive a touch of sincerity, with the envelope of enjoying the journey and accepting each other. Can that redeem the efforts of the talibans? No, of course not, the anime is supposed to be a comedy, the anime presents itself as a comedy, the energy is the one of a comedy, and the comedy is car bombed by the production. This anime just doesn’t work unless you want to see a loli transforming into a succubus and some random girls with huge milkers that can serve as your company before sleep. At such point of audiovisual mediocrity, why would you watch this instead of reading some quality hentai? I have some numbers, just DM

This is the first review I've ever written, but this review is only to explain what I feel about this series and to shortly explain why. Story: *The plot centers arround Jahy, the second ranking "demon" from the underworld or dark realm. After the destuction of the great mana crystal, which is the heart of the dark realm, she finds herself stranded in the human world and commits herself to look for every shard of the mana crystal that she can find in order to rebuild her kingdom.* At first, every episode focuses on some little adverture or misadventure in which she finds herself in, due toseveral factors that include surviving in a human city, working, being hungry, paying rent. Eventually, the show focuses more on her relationship with her recently found allies. Most situations are solved with comedy and tiny plot twists that go against what Jahy expects, these can be predictable and can make some scenes a bit tiresome but is not an excessive problem (unless you have very little patience).

Overall the story can be very enjoyable if you set your expectations under the parameters of a show that sometimes has both child-like humor and aims for a family-friendly concept, or if you are like me, and you really like lighthearted shows, without stress and just being there for the ride.

Characters:

Jahy is a very likable character because of simple reasons, she isn't annoying or utterly stubborn, she learns to see the good in people and eventually shows a heart of herself, the ways in which every character affects her life is unique and in time she manges to see the larger picture of her life with them as something good.

I'm not going to spoil any of the other characters personalities but is enough to say that each complements the show positively, the show actually found restraint to reutilize many jokes that at first you might feel will be overused to death, and instead it tries hard enough and succeeds to an acceptable level to create character development situations. Thus, creating enough growth to move the plot a little bit fordward but greatly improving the relationships Jahy has with everyone, improving the overall enjoyability of the show.

Art-Openings-Endings-sound design.

Nothing here is exceptional, but enought effort went into each of these parts to make them feel appropiate to the vision of the show and it's direction. Both openings and both endings set correct expectations and tone, not overselling but not underselling either. The character design is fun, and not too generic, I personally loved the design of the Landlord, Jahy herself and the last character revealed near the end (NO SPOILERS). Despite early concerns to Jahy's outfit I found relief to see that she was never sexualized, nor were the rest of the characters, and I loved that fact. The animation holds up untill the end, so there was no budget drops there, in my opinion the visual experience was very smooth and enjoyable.

SUMMARY

PROS: Enjoyable characters, good enough character development *for the tone of the series*, never drops quality.

CONS: Somewhat predictible puns and jokes and situations (never really improves quality, slightly improves enjoyability).

I personally recommend this show to people that might want to rest from heart-pumping shows, or if you want to watch something enjoyable-enough while you lunch, It's not great but it's worth giving it a chance. I do not recomment this show for people that can't stand somewhat flat humor and easy problem solving.

Rating: 7.5

Thank you for reading. (O/////Q)

I'm literally watching the tenth episode and said "I would have dropped already but how we are only 2 episodes away from the end I don't want to drop." Then my girlfriend said "this is a two-cour." So I'm dropping of this shitty and repetitive comedy boat. I like Salwa design but like every other caricature character in this show none of her jokes is funny, and when they repeat the same joke two or three episodes later, to everyone's surprise, they are even less funny. So au revoir to everyone that has more sanity than me and are going to keep watching.

This is a must watch if you like the "something happened to the demon lord and now they have to live a semi normal life!" trope. The reason why I really like this series so far is because: 1. It's funny 2. All of the characters are fun and none of them make me angry. 3. It's pretty cute 4. They do the Demon Lord bit very well, all the characters have unique personalities based on their role in the demon realm for some fun situations. 5. It's easy to watch, you don't have to do much thinking, something you can put on after a long day. If this sounds likewhat you're looking for, then I would give it a watch. Just remember it's a lighthearted comedy, you're not going to like it if you're looking for a profound, complicated story with twists and turns.

Also side note: the second opening song has Spanish in it and I'm a Spanish fan and was taken aback when I heard "dame dame dame dame dinero" hahaha

There was a little show released in 2013 called "the devil is a part-timer" In it the Devil King, the Maou, is defeated by the hero and escapes to the human world where he has almost no magic so works in a Mc Donald parody to pay his rent. Take the premise of that show and just hint that this is about his second in command. That's this show. One thing... the decade old show was fun, full of character arcs and because the Maou gave it his all in everything he did you buy that he was a somebody in another life. This show however is sortariding the ripples of that one with nothing what so ever to offer beyond the premise. The main character is a brat and I don't buy she held any position of authority, ever. She won't take responsibility for herself let alone her subordinates.

Her entire character is "oh I used to be a someone, I used to have servants and live in luxury now I is poor" over, and over, and over, and over... That really is it past the fan service. That's the show. It gets dull and stagnant fast. They introduce some past demons but they're also stuck in their own little bubble of reality so they're not so much characters as... there....

The voices start off as cute but the more you watch the more the whining and screaming start to grate and annoy.

If by episode 6 the show felt the need for a re-cap episode then I really don't know how it's supposed to drag itself to the finish line of 20 episode. Nothing happens!!!

The show plays along with the exact same concept as The Devil is a part timer(DPT), but unlike Devil the show is just depressing to watch. While DPT has comedy to mix in with the fact that the mc has lost his powers this shows is just sad to watch. The Jahy character put up no fight and lost everything in the first episode, she then continues to struggle over and over with no real success. Despite apparently having earned her position in the demon realm she is the most incompetent demon as regathering magic stones. I thought it would be a whole show soI gave it a shot, but as i mentioned before watching it just made be feel more and more depressed. The "comedy" is just he kid version of the character failing over and over again and crying over it like a child. She acts like this despite begin some kind of 'cool' badass in her normal form. there not explanation for her mental regression in her smaller form. so it just feels like I'm watching a kid get bullied over and over. Not my type of show.

Should you watch it? Do you want to watch My Devil's a Part Timer, but with a once spoiled, second in command, demon lord facing the struggles of below average quality of human life in Japan? If so then this anime is for you! Story: It's funny, and also has sad, but relatable moments. I like this story alot. Synopsis of story: As you can read in the description above it's pretty much that, but to clarify on that, there are plenty of moments that you'll find funny because she's simply stuck on her spoiled obnoxious attitude that the struggles she faces is funny. But attimes it can be too much for her, and I mean anyone can relate to that. So she gets the help from her friends just to make it through to her next paycheck. She's just trying to live her best until she can find a way to get back into the demon world.

Art: It's good like an anime should be.

Sound: I like the Opening and Ending. Probably have it in guess that anime challenge.

Characters: Jahy is the MC of this story, and like I mentioned before it's mainly about her. She is the main target of our comedy, but also has relatable sad moments that can be funny at times. The other characters can be loved in their own way, but might not be rememberable for some

Overall: I like this anime, give it a shot if you don't mind mostly slice of life trying to get through life.

What is there to say about an utter waste of time? Boring, repetitive 'jokes' that the characters scream-explain right after they happen. haha character get mad huehue... Characters are the epitome of shallow one-note walking punchlines. Just loli-bait and it doesn't even have the decency to stand put among the rest of the loli-bait as being particularly good at anything or memorable. The animation, art quality and sound design were at least decent enough, the only thing keeping this abortion of an anime from being a flat 1 outright. About as funny or enjoyable as a colonoscopy performed with a stick-blender.
