Still, thereвЂ™s something oddly fitting about the triumphant return of The Devil Is a Part-Timer! spending half its run time on Lucifer learning to do laundry and fighting a cockroach. If you managed to rewatch the previous season in anticipation of these new episodes, the premiere is a bit of a letdown - not because the character moments arenвЂ™t great but because it feels like retreading old ground, especially after the season-one finale set up a change in the dynamic, or at least made more of an acknowledgment than we get here. вЂњThe Devil Screams in SasazukaвЂќ does a good job of reacquainting us with the premise and the character dynamics that elevated it to something sustainable over several episodes in a way that feels organic. This is quite useful if you havenвЂ™t watched the first season or didnвЂ™t get a chance to rewatch it in the past nine years. Despite its brilliant execution and good word of mouth, The Devil Is a Part-Timer! had all but disappeared from the public consciousness, until now.ДЄlmost a decade after the first seasonвЂ™s release, Maou Satan is back in a premiere that feels mostly like a very long recap - and includes an actual recap with narration explaining how Satan came to be in Tokyo. The problem was also that the show came out in the same season as this tiny anime called Attack on Titan.

There are so many new isekai every single season that theyвЂ™ve gone around the farce circle several times over - with straight isekai being replaced by parody isekai, satires, reverse isekai, smart and subversive isekai, and all the way to nostalgia isekai - in a handful of years.Д«efore all of this, there was The Devil Is a Part-Timer! The reverse- isekai comedy offered a fresh new spin on the tropes, but because the genre hadnвЂ™t yet exploded in popularity, it was just a smart comedy with a killer and a bonkers premise: What if the actual Devil were trapped in our world, forced to work a part-time job at a McDonaldвЂ™s knockoff to pay the rent, and found himself enjoying the climb up the corporate ladder to become lord of the nuggets and protector of the fries, all while fighting off angels and other would-be assassins.

If one genre has dominated the seasonal anime scene over the past decade, it has been the isekai, wherein a character gets transported into a fantasyland, usually with abilities they lack in the real world.
