Hataraku Maou-sama!

Agreed. It feels like we've been having the same discussion each week.

- The Maou is pathetic, he's not evil enough now that he's here, etc.

It's a comedy ffs. Of course the situation is ridiculous. That's why it is funny.

The demon lord is more interested in getting money than doing evil. He's more interested in the happiness of his adorable co-worker than making her his slave. He's powerless, the hero is powerless. The Hero acts more like an ex-girlfriend who broke it off but gets super jealous when he's with another girl and not obsessing about her all the time the way she continues to obsess about him. The two keep calling on each other when they're in trouble, despite how much they hate each other. The new girl gets feisty when the "ex-girlfriend" wants to butt in. The demon lord keeps getting dragged into the police station, but sits quietly and obeys the rules.

That's funny. Stop pretending this series is anything other than a comedy.


So maybe for some of you, your suspension of disbelief has been ruined by the opening of the first episode (anime original I found out btw). Can't the lot of you come up with some other reasons that you think this series sucks? I can only retort to those kinds of arguments the same way each time.
