I first came across this anime in 2014 and immediately started watching it. Then, perhaps due to my age, I quite liked it. I gave up on episode 10, because at that time I never finished watching titles that grabbed me, trying to somehow delay the ending. And now, five years later, I decided to finish watching these unfortunate three episodes in order to forever throw it in the “watched” folder. And, unfortunately (or fortunately?), I am absolutely disappointed. I won’t say that the characters particularly grabbed me at the time, but there was something like that. After all, who didn't like it? But now nothing. Absolutely nothing. I didn’t experience any emotions from the ending other than misunderstanding.
They played up the story with the umbrella in a funny way in the scene after the ending, but, in my opinion, it was completely inappropriate. Make the last episode the final one? Really...why?
There is simply zero romance here, I saw only a semblance of unrequited love and nothing more.
To be honest, I really expected that there would be at least some revelation of the relationship. But where we started is where we came to. And this applies not only to the relationship between and. I actually feel sorry for the poor forgotten girl. Throughout the entire plot, I felt that she was as superfluous as possible. It seemed that initially they wanted to develop a love line between Mao and, but this also did not lead to anything.
In general, with great difficulty I will give it a 6.
I don't write reviews often, but this anime really makes me think. Okay, I would like to start with one anecdote:
“Albert Einstein died and went to God.
God says to him:
“You have lived your life very well, and for this I will fulfill one of your wishes.”
Einstein:
- Write me the formula of the World.
God begins to write, write, write.
He wrote a huge formula and looks expectantly at Einstein.
- Oh my God! Yes, you have a mistake here! - Einstein exclaims.
God is embarrassed:
- I know."
And you know, you begin to think and wonder: “Why does magic work in their world, and in worlds like anime.” Shouldn't this prove the existence of God in these worlds? But in ours it somehow doesn’t want to work,
and our world is full of human suffering, but the demons from their world need strong concentration to fuel their powers,
Did God really forget about our world in these anime or wanted to forget as a mistake in the calculations...
Well, speaking about anime in general, even though I only watched half of it. In years of endless issekai, he stands out in a good way. I would even call it no more than a shojo about student life, which you want to laugh at after eternal couples. The mark is 7.5/10. The main wifes are pretty nice. Especially Chiho.
mini review
“If you feel the ends justify the means, how does that make you different from us demons, exactly?” –
*beware of spoilers!*
Calm and relaxed series. Looks easy. You can calmly relax with a cup of coffee. Although the anime is comedic, as always, I saw something more here
8/10
1. Humor is acceptable, it was funny. The anime is more fun than funny. To understand the comedy, you need to keep in mind throughout the entire viewing that the real Demon King works for a living and barely makes ends meet, living in a one-room apartment with unlucky roommates)
2. I got the message that anyone, with the right desire, can change for the better.
3. cool. He does the right and logical things as soon as he enters another world: he looks for information, housing, money and work. I saw in it a reflection of people who simply “play” an unwanted, definite role in the world theater. Although in fact, they are not at all who they seem at first glance.
also “played out” the role of the Demon King, but having come to a new world and having found what he wants to protect; took off his mask.
4. + in addition to everything there is an interesting plot connected with the church in Ente Isla: how it plots intrigues, the inquisition of people they don’t like, etc.; They revealed that it’s more than excellent for a comedy.
5. The ending is quite abrupt, but for “Romance” + “Comedy” this is a common practice, so everything is OK.
In general, an average work would simply make a reverse isekai with the Lord of Darkness in McDuck, and that’s all; and there are great beginnings of a good plot here.
7/10 + 1 point for the plot and idea (Satan is trapped in our world, working in a fast food restaurant, ######)
p.s. where else, except in anime, can you see this XD?

University student Kaneki Ken ends up in a hospital as a result of an accident, where he is mistakenly transplanted with the organs of one of the ghouls - monsters that feed on human flesh. Now he himself becomes one of them, and for people he turns into an outcast subject to destruction. But can he become one of the other ghouls? Or is there no more room for him in the world now? This anime will tell about the fate of Kaneki and the impact he will have on the future of Tokyo, where there is a continuous war between two species.
The continent that lies in the center of the Ignola ocean is the large central one and four more - Southern, Northern, Eastern and Western, and the gods themselves look after it, and it is called Ente Isla.
And there is a name that plunges anyone on Ente Isla into Horror - the Lord of Darkness Mao.
He is the master of the other world where all the dark creatures live.
He is the embodiment of fear and horror.
The Lord of Darkness Mao declared war on the human race and sowed death and destruction throughout the continent of Ente Isla.
The Lord of Darkness was served by 4 powerful generals.
Adramelech, Lucifer, Alciel and Malacoda.
The four Demon Generals led the attack on the 4 parts of the continent. However, a hero appeared and spoke out against the army of the underworld. The hero and his comrades defeated the troops of the Lord of Darkness in the west, then Adramelech in the north and Malacoda in the south. The hero led the united army of the human race and launched an attack on the central continent where the castle of the Lord of Darkness stood...
Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin, blue-eyed youth in a tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, but our hero has no temple, no priests, all donations fit into a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief works as a handyman, painting advertisements on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-in-cheek Mayu, who worked as a shinki—Yato’s Sacred Weapon—for many years, left her master. And without weapons, the younger god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician; he has to (what a shame!) hide from evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial being anyway?
One day, a pretty high school girl, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to save some guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” her body and walk on the “other side.” Having met Yato there and recognizing the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live long between worlds. But, having gotten to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally guide the tramp on the right path: first, find a weapon for the unlucky one, then help him earn money, and then, you see, what happens. It’s not for nothing that they say: what a woman wants, God wants!

There are many dormitories at Suimei University Arts High School, and there is also the Sakura Apartment House. While hostels have strict rules, everything is possible at Sakura, which is why its local nickname is “madhouse.” Since in art genius and madness are always somewhere nearby, the inhabitants of the “cherry orchard” are talented and interesting guys who are too far out of the “swamp”. Take, for example, the noisy Misaki, who sells her own anime to major studios, her friend and playboy screenwriter Jin, or the reclusive programmer Ryunosuke, who communicates with the world only via the Internet and telephone. Compared to them, the main character Sorata Kanda is a simpleton who ended up in a “psychiatric hospital” just for... loving cats!
Therefore, Chihiro-sensei, the head of the dormitory, instructed Sorata, as the only sane guest, to meet her cousin Mashiro, who was transferring to their school from distant Britain. The fragile blonde seemed like a real bright angel to Kanda. True, at a party with new neighbors, the guest behaved stiffly and said little, but the newly minted admirer attributed everything to understandable stress and fatigue from the road. Only real stress awaited Sorata in the morning when he went to wake up Mashiro. The hero realized with horror that his new friend, a great artist, was absolutely out of this world, that is, she was not even able to dress herself! And the insidious Chihiro is right there - from now on, Kanda will forever look after her sister, because the guy has already practiced on cats!

In the 21st century, the world community finally managed to systematize the art of magic and raise it to a new level. Those who are able to use magic after completing the ninth grade in Japan are now welcome in magic schools - but only if applicants pass the exam. The quota for admission to the First School (Hachioji, Tokyo) is 200 students, the best hundred are enrolled in the first department, the rest are in the reserve, in the second, and teachers are assigned only to the first hundred, “Flowers”. The rest, the “Weeds,” learn on their own. At the same time, there is always an atmosphere of discrimination in the school, because even the forms of both departments are different.
Shiba Tatsuya and Miyuki were born 11 months apart, making them the same year in school. Upon entering the First School, his sister finds himself among the Flowers, and his brother among the Weeds: despite his excellent theoretical knowledge, the practical part is not easy for him.
In general, we are waiting for the study of a mediocre brother and an exemplary sister, as well as their new friends - Chiba Erika, Saijo Leonhart (or just Leo) and Shibata Mizuki - at the school of magic, quantum physics, the Tournament of Nine Schools and much more...

The ghoul race has existed since time immemorial. Its representatives are not at all against people, they even love them - mainly in their raw form. Lovers of human flesh are outwardly indistinguishable from us, strong, fast and tenacious - but there are few of them, so ghouls have developed strict rules for hunting and camouflage, and violators are punished themselves or quietly handed over to fighters against evil spirits. In the age of science, people know about ghouls, but as they say, they are used to it. The authorities do not consider cannibals a threat; moreover, they view them as an ideal basis for creating super-soldiers. Experiments have been going on for a long time...

In this article we will talk about the anime “Satan at Work,” the 1st season of which was released in 2013. In particular, let us turn to the description of the images of the main characters of the animated series.
A little about the plot
The story begins in a parallel universe, where the Prince of Darkness, trying to take over the world of Ent Isla, was defeated. You can learn more about this from the 1st episode of the anime “Satan with a Part-Time Job,” the characters of which will be described below. To escape, the Prince of Darkness and his henchman escape to another world, which turns out to be modern Tokyo.
In our world, it turns out that the forces of evil have lost their magic and have turned into almost ordinary people who need to eat something, pay for rented housing and work. But the fallen angel is no stranger to difficulties, and the lord of evil finds himself an excellent job in a fast food empire, tempting people with hamburgers and fried potatoes.
Mao Sadao
This anime has some pretty unique characters. “Satan at Work” is an animated series that is interesting because there are practically no large-scale battles or fantasy adventures in it; it is rather a parody of our world, and the main role in it is given to the Prince of Darkness.
In his home world, the Demon Lord is called Stan Jacob, but when he came to our reality, he took the pseudonym Mao Sadao. Almost omnipotent in Enta Isla, in the human world he is susceptible to simple human weaknesses and can die from a bullet wound.
Story
This animated series differs from other anime about Satan in that it begins with the defeat of the Prince of Darkness. He tried to enslave his world, but was defeated by the hero Emilia. Due to the fact that there was very little magic in our world, Mao and one of his generals who followed him, Alciel, were forced to take on human form.
Once in Tokyo, Mao got a job as a salesman at the McDonald's restaurant chain (a parody of the McDonald's brand). Here he quickly excelled and was promoted to assistant manager. Mao was later able to briefly regain the powers of the Lord of Darkness. This happened thanks to Lucifer, another demon general, who gained powers from the despair and fear of people. However, Mao had to spend all his power on restoring Tokyo, destroyed during the battle with Lucifer, and clearing the memories of the city's inhabitants.
As for Satan's past, there is practically no mention of it in the anime itself. More detailed information can be found in the novels on which the animated series was based. In particular, they say that the Prince of Darkness comes from a tribe of goblins that was destroyed and he was the only survivor, doomed to slowly die. His life was saved by the Archangel Leila (mother of the hero Emilia), who took pity on the crying demon. Leila took care of Mao and passed on human knowledge to him. The angel was also the first to call him Satan, the Lord of Demons.
Later, when Layla left Mao, he tried to conquer Ent Isla, he was helped by 4 generals: Lucifer, Adremelech, Malacoda and Alsiel.
Character
All the characters in this anime have expressive personalities. Part-time Satan, who is also the main character, nevertheless remains the most colorful and ambiguous. On the one hand, being a Demon Lord, he showed incredible cruelty in trying to conquer people. On the other hand, on Earth, on the contrary, he tried to save people who had become accidental victims in the battle of demons, and spent the last of his magical powers on restoring the city. Mao himself admitted that before he came to our world, he simply did not understand people. However, he is not going to abdicate his responsibility for the lives his army took in Enta Isla.
Capabilities
Despite the large number of parody elements, the anime “Satan at Work” belongs to the fantasy genre. The characters in the animated series are therefore endowed with Thus, the Demon Lord has incredible power. In addition, other characters are endowed with magic, and each of them has a unique color of magic. Mao, for example, has it black.
Once on Earth, Mao lost almost all of his abilities and became a simple man, since there are no sources of magic in our world. However, he later found out that he could turn people's negative emotions into magic.
Some of Mao's most used abilities include:
- Transformation: The Prince of Darkness has 2 forms - human and demonic. This transformation does not always depend on his will. Thus, having regained his magical abilities, he, against his will, takes the form of a demon, and having lost them, he becomes a simple person.
- Hypnosis: Maou can mentally influence people into doing what he wants or erase their memories. It was only thanks to this ability that he was able to obtain documents as a resident of Tokyo.
Hanzo Uruchihara
There are also several other demons in the anime “Satan at Work,” the 2nd season of which has not yet been released. One of them is Lucifer, the general of the Prince of Darkness and a fallen angel who took the name Hanzo Uruchihara in our world.
Lucifer arrived on Earth after the Demon King along with a representative of the Orbo Church. Their goal was to destroy Sadao. However, the Prince of Darkness defeated his general, but did not destroy him, but showed mercy and even allowed him to live in his apartment.
Because the police were looking for Lucifer, he did not leave Mao's house. The fallen angel spent all his free time on the Internet, computer games and shopping in electronic stores, spending the money Mao earned, which made Ashiya very angry.
Lucifer has his own story, as do the other characters ("Satan at Work").
In the past, he was the leader of the archangels and had such a high rank among other angels that, even after becoming fallen, he did not lose power over the lower ranks. But heaven seemed too boring a place to Lucifer, so he resigned from his position. After which he lost his status, and his wings turned black, which indicated that self-destruction had begun. From that moment on, he left heaven and became a fallen angel.
Lucifer headed to the Demon Lands. Here he lived among tribes of demons who waged incessant wars with each other. Having proven himself to be a good fighter, the fallen angel gained influence and power among his new compatriots. However, due to his saintly origins, he remained an outcast among pure-blooded demons.
Capabilities
The animated series “Satan at Work,” the list of characters of which we continued with Lucifer, is a rather small anime - only 1 season of 13 episodes was released. Therefore, many of the characters' abilities have not yet been fully revealed. So, the following is known about Lucifer’s abilities:
- The color of his magic is purple.
- Flight - He can materialize black wings that allow him to fly at great speed.
- Explosion - The feathers from his wings can explode.
- The ability to create energy charges that explode when they hit a target.
- High endurance allows Lucifer to survive even deadly attacks.
Shiro Ashiya
We continue to get acquainted with the world of the anime series “Satan at Work.” The characters in this cartoon are mostly of unearthly origin. Shiro Ashiya, who is one of the generals of the Prince of Darkness named Alsiel, was no exception. He followed his master to Earth. Alsiel is Mao's most devoted and faithful servant, but, as practice shows, he is never there when the master needs help.
On Earth, while Mao earns money, Shiro spends his time in libraries, looking for information about the magical sources of this world, and running a household. His searches bring no results. And during the battles, he appears only in the finale, explaining his lateness by the fact that he was running home to put on a demonic suit.
In everyday life, he takes the role of a smart, serious and responsible guy who must lead a company of small fry who are constantly getting into trouble. He deals with all financial matters, never missing an opportunity to save on anything. Because of this, he often quarrels with the wasteful Lucifer.
Nothing is known about his abilities, as he never had the opportunity to use them.
Emilia
Emilia is Mao's main enemy in the animated series Satan at Work. The characters whose names were listed above are supporters of the forces of evil. Now let's talk about those who fight with them.
So, Emilia is the hero of Ent Isla, a sweet girl who followed the Prince of Darkness into our world. As soon as she managed to discover Mao on Earth, she treats him with hostility, follows him and tries to figure out what kind of meanness he is planning this time.
Having lost her magic, like the demons, she finds a job in a call center. Initially, she was supposed to destroy the Prince of Darkness, but gradually she begins to see positive qualities in him and falls in love.
Nevertheless, hatred of Mao has not gone away. The fact is that her father died during the invasion of the demon army. Emilia's mother was an archangel, so the church took the girl to make her a knight and teach her to fight the forces of evil.
Suzuno Kamazuki
In addition to Mao himself, there are other controversial characters in the anime. Satan's part-time job, in particular, meets on Earth Suzuno Kamazuki, an inquisitor sent by the church to destroy the Prince of Darkness. Her real name is Crestia Bell. Arriving in our world, the girl settled behind the wall with Mao and his friends. For unknown reasons, she begins to care about the demons living in the neighborhood.
She wears a kimono and adheres to ancient Japanese traditions. This is due to the fact that she studied a new world for her from old books and films. Suzuno is balanced and calm, one might even say apathetic. Nothing, not even a fight, can unsettle her.
Gradually, she, like Emilia, begins to understand that the Prince of Darkness is not as cruel and merciless as she is accustomed to believe. Nevertheless, Suzuno continues to suspect him of trying to carry out intrigues in the new world.
Unlike demons, she did not lose her abilities, so the latter had a hard time in the fight with Mao.
Sasaki Chiho (anime "Satan at Work")
As you can see, they are mostly of unearthly origin. The only exception is Chiho Sasaki, Maou's colleague, who falls in love with the Prince of Darkness.
Chiho is a positive and sweet girl who has nothing to do with the war between demons and angels, but often finds herself in the thick of things. Therefore, it is not surprising that Chiho soon learns about the origins of Maou and Emilia. But this doesn’t scare the girl at all. On the contrary, the Prince of Darkness does not seem to her to be the embodiment of the universal hall.
Mao himself treats Chiho more like a younger sister and considers himself responsible for her safety. In addition, he believes that the girl’s love is connected with the fact that once on Earth, Mao hypnotized her father, and Chiho fell under the influence of demonic magic.
There is only one unresolved question related to this animated series: “How many seasons does the anime Satan Works have?” To date, there is only 1 season, which was released back in 2013. And there is no information that the anime will continue.
I first came across this anime in 2014 and immediately started watching it. Then, perhaps due to my age, I quite liked it. I gave up on episode 10, because at that time I never finished watching titles that grabbed me, trying to somehow delay the ending. And now, five years later, I decided to finish watching these unfortunate three episodes in order to forever throw it in the “watched” folder. And, unfortunately (or fortunately?), I am absolutely disappointed. I won’t say that the characters particularly grabbed me at the time, but there was something like that. After all, who didn't like it? But now nothing. Absolutely nothing. I didn’t experience any emotions from the ending other than misunderstanding.
They played up the story with the umbrella in a funny way in the scene after the ending, but, in my opinion, it was completely inappropriate. Make the last episode the final one? Really...why?

I actually feel sorry for the poor forgotten girl. Throughout the entire plot, I felt that she was as superfluous as possible. It seemed that initially they wanted to develop a love line between Mao and, but this also did not lead to anything.
In general, with great difficulty I will give it a 6.
I don't write reviews often, but this anime really makes me think. Okay, I would like to start with one anecdote:
“Albert Einstein died and went to God.
God says to him:
“You have lived your life very well, and for this I will fulfill one of your wishes.”
Einstein:
- Write me the formula of the World.
God begins to write, write, write.
He wrote a huge formula and looks expectantly at Einstein.
- Oh my God! Yes, you have a mistake here! - Einstein exclaims.
God is embarrassed:
- I know."
And you know, you begin to think and wonder: “Why does magic work in their world, and in worlds like anime.” Shouldn't this prove the existence of God in these worlds? But in ours it somehow doesn’t want to work,
and our world is full of human suffering, but the demons from their world need strong concentration to fuel their powers,
Did God really forget about our world in these anime or wanted to forget as a mistake in the calculations...
Well, speaking about anime in general, even though I only watched half of it. In years of endless issekai, he stands out in a good way. I would even call it no more than a shojo about student life, which you want to laugh at after eternal couples. The mark is 7.5/10. The main wifes are pretty nice. Especially Chiho.
mini review
“If you feel the ends justify the means, how does that make you different from us demons, exactly?” –
*beware of spoilers!*
Calm and relaxed series. Looks easy. You can calmly relax with a cup of coffee. Although the anime is comedic, as always, I saw something more here
8/10
1. Humor is acceptable, it was funny. The anime is more fun than funny. To understand the comedy, you need to keep in mind throughout the entire viewing that the real Demon King works for a living and barely makes ends meet, living in a one-room apartment with unlucky roommates)
2. I got the message that anyone, with the right desire, can change for the better.
3. cool. He does the right and logical things as soon as he enters another world: he looks for information, housing, money and work. I saw in it a reflection of people who simply “play” an unwanted, definite role in the world theater. Although in fact, they are not at all who they seem at first glance.
also “played out” the role of the Demon King, but having come to a new world and having found what he wants to protect; took off his mask.
4. + in addition to everything there is an interesting plot connected with the church in Ente Isla: how it plots intrigues, the inquisition of people they don’t like, etc.; They revealed that it’s more than excellent for a comedy.
5. The ending is quite abrupt, but for “Romance” + “Comedy” this is a common practice, so everything is OK.
In general, an average work would simply make a reverse isekai with the Lord of Darkness in McDuck, and that’s all; and there are great beginnings of a good plot here.
7/10 + 1 point for the plot and idea (Satan is trapped in our world, working in a fast food restaurant, ######)
p.s. where else, except in anime, can you see this XD?
