the devil's part-timer series is back from the anime shadow realm with the fandom having to wait
nine years for another anime adaptation and yeah some things have changed you see they added one
more explanation point but like the animation fits more modern color styles coming from a completely
different studio in 3hc which is the studio comprised of x animators from kinema citrus 38z
is a relatively new studio with only a few titles under their books in comparison to white fox which
has done steins gate and the re-zero franchise nevertheless most fans have welcomed the new
season with open arms and haven't yet turned on it truly season twos feel like they bring
more criticism than the predecessor whether it's rightfully justified or unwarranted series creator
satoshi wakahara has stated as back as 2017 the reason for the disappearance of the show having
whiny teens ask him after they just finished re-watching the show or drunk adults at 2am
asking him the same question constantly that's why everyone thinks why haven't you come up with
the second season of the anime yet whether it's twitter autograph sessions or private friends i'm
always asked if i'm coming for a second term every time i get a reply i don't know there is no way
i can promise a second season this is decided in meetings of higher-ups and they may never decide
to produce the sequel however i promise that i will put all my efforts into making this work
as good as it possibly can for my readers in addition wakahara emphasizes anime is also a
business hinting that the devil's part-timer fans are capable of affecting the decision of a renewal
indirectly saying that you guys can still change the outcome of the higher ups decision and if any
anime nine years after the first box release can be affected that opens the door for a number of
possible series to tweak from one creator change the entire outlook of a franchise in other words
everything depends on the commercial ad visibility of the franchise and thus can't be affected by the
blu-ray and dvd sales so what did satoshi do he got to work making as much material as he possibly
could trying his best to finish the series hoping his international success would lead to a new
season and man did he advertise the man spent the better part of nine years repromoting his work
on twitter and it paid off the author reminds us constantly that without saying it that he is the
biggest fan of this anime yet despite the efforts the decision nonetheless mostly depended on white
fox with white fox engaging in new projects the studio was no longer interested in working with
them after 2013 ultimately abandoning the anime series with them having to look for a new studio
so bluntly we're quite lucky a studio was willing to take them up when people think of the series
they ultimately like to call it the reverse uno card of anime how the plot takes staples of the
sky genre of setting off in a serious fantasy world the evil demon lord who wants to enslave
the neighboring human settlements and take over into isla doing evil [ __ ] for the sake of doing
evil [ __ ] classic 90s villains the hero who's overpowered and destined to stop him and his army
with our outlook on the world being then flipped on its head sending would-be serious characters
and high-stakes action plots into a fast-food worker and a telemarketer who stalks her ex
those damn telemarketers taking a compelling intense story into the mundane literally they
were mortal enemies who were willing to kill each other in their past world but now they don't have
those responsibilities and now they act like college friends who are reluctant to tell
their friends thank you after they [ __ ] up this actually isn't a parody at all at the time in 2013
seo came out a year before this sao at the time wasn't even considered an isa guy based on the
pre-existing rules of what we said the offspring of fantasy would be called kirito was just another
overpowered lead who came in and saved the day and got all the whammon but he was actually just
a depressed shut-in who's so socially incompetent he puts his friends in life-threatening danger
constantly look it up and now he's the global embodiment of the now most lucrative genre
not named shonen the point is devil's apartheid can't be a parody if there were no pre-existing
qualifications to the thing they're supposed to be parroting it's like that aha moment where we laugh
at the thing we're supposed to be thinking is funny and what we think is gonna happen
but it never happens cbr has a list now of the 10 cliches that happen to be in this genre and
the devil's part-timer doesn't fit any of them and if it doesn't fit him it decides to flip it
or simply doesn't come close to hitting the mark entirely the main lead is an ordinary high school
student or office worker well kinda he's a fast food worker who used to be a lord the main lead
gets hit by a truck there is no truck [ __ ] here the main lien has a crucial role in their new
world kinda but not really he's a shift manager at mcronalds who used to be satan himself but now he
doesn't care for it that much there's no immediate way to get home no he can get back home if he
really felt like it he could always ask amelia or try and get as much demon power as he could
to go back but he doesn't care to a harem is born despite the leads ineptitude with lammon a harem
is kinda formed but one of the girls would rather kill him and he socially comes off as charming the
powers in the world are based off of video games no this is classic fantasy world based powers
that are so mythical and legend we don't know 10 percent of the world's terminology the main
lead is too dense when it comes to romance no he's quite aware of chiho's feelings the same
types of creatures that are in it every world no we have no clue of the other cast of characters
and creatures outside the name of angels and demons the show came too early to actually know
the punch lines of the genre i mean am i laughing at the show yes is it all right just a parody
no things we laugh at or things that would seem crazy to us our foreign ideas to them with also
reminding us it just so happens that mao is the demon lord and amelia is a hero like in episode 2
when they first confront each other for the first time knowing their identities emilia talks about
ending him but instead of pulling out her holy sword that she's sworn to use to defeat him
she pulls out a butter knife and they battle but instead of showing the battle we see them
next in the police station where the officer sees them as a couple having a lover's coral reminding
them they can't do that here with also flipping how we think the demon lord and hero would act
like how satan is the always on time overly polite mcronald's employee a job most fast food employees
wouldn't take half as serious as he does and emilia the one who doesn't lack self-confidence
gets easily frustrated and who's prone to insulting mal outwardly voicing her displeasure
with him and unable to be cordial with him most of the time but deep down trusting him so kind of
like your ex the situation they're in would be funny if anyone was in this situation season 2
takes that idea of the show and puts a kid in the middle of it which you would think would slow down
the show like it would for any normal person who has a kid or do something to the whole will they
or won't they dynamic with the answer being no and kinda like alice ramos is the most adorable child
that any parent would want to protect the normal a plot points are now focused around her daily needs
at first but she soon just fits into the cast on their random adventures sure mal and amelia
are parents now but i don't know if i would say she brings them closer together like if anything
her sheer presence just stops them from crossing the line when they're speaking to each other or
they just simply look at her and are reminded that the person across from them they don't always act
like a huge pain in their ass it's like a mixture between divorced parents and new parents to their
friends the fill-in characters and co-workers they don't want to outwardly claim to be her parent
because that would signal that they were once together but over time they're going to have to go
all in and they're just not simply ready for that commitment you could say she brings them closer
together but she kind of just fits sometimes the plots are made around her and other times they
just carry her along while they're working the show feels better now than it did when it came out
and it doesn't simply come across as an e-sky because it's a show of characters going through
interpersonal skills trying to get by in the city i wouldn't recommend it alongside isa guys or just
one-off comedies but shows that would have to do with young people finding work now as far
as what's to come there's always fans that are going to say the ending is going to be terrible
or it's not going to live up to their expectations i don't have such grand and high expectations for
the show since it's been almost a decade since the initial release i'm just happy
the show came back as long as i'm not getting terrible cg animation and it's not going too
far off the source material it should be fine but the next couple arcs being pretty good but
fitting the usual storylines of the show with mao needing to get some money so he's gonna work some
new jobs one of his bosses happens to be from anti-isla amy follows him there not telling him
bring along their child but also reminding him the girl's not here to see him but is simply
tagging along for the journey some plot about demons and angels causing problems with mao and
emmy tasks of fixing it while they're working when also learning more about the origins of
how amy and satan actually got started on their quest with some episodes focused on them going
out buying ramas some more stuff as she's growing up in this new world i'm excited to see what they
do with this and how far it can actually go as a series i do hope it gets another season after
this one because of how much source material they actually have i assume it's going to be a success
with it having been on all the streaming services since the release of the show
it being on the new york times bestseller for manga for years now hopefully this reminds the
higher-ups of how much of a global franchise this show has been in the last decade but the
best thing we can do to actually support the show is to buy the blu-rays and copies of the light
novel when they get re-released to help out their initial sales this method has been proven to work
and the best way of bringing back old animes now that's gonna do it for this video
and if you liked today's video here's another one just like it so go check it out i'll be uploading
