War is taking place on the world of Ente Isla. Lord Satan and his demonic generals are hoping to take over. Things don't go to plan. They are beaten by the Hero Emelia. Satan manages to flee through a portal, along with his general Alciel. They find themselves in a strange world... modern day Tokyo! With their demonic powers drastically reduced they must find a way to live. Satan get a part time job at 'MgRonald's' burger restaurant and rents a small apartment. He later learns that Emilia has also arrived in Tokyo although she seems to be more successful than him in this new world. Will their battle recommence in Tokyo or will events lead them to an unlikely alliance?
I thought this series was rather fun. Satan may be an unlikely choice for the lead in a comedy series but this one isn't 'pure evil'... in fact the more we get to know him the nicer he seems. He cares about his friends and can change his opinions about perceived foes. There is some action, which is fun, but first and foremost this is a character led comedy. The characters are fun to watch and our protagonists are likeable. The comedy elements are good with plenty of laughs in each episode. The character designs are good as is the animation. Several reviews bemoan the fact that there is only one thirteen episode season... thankfully that is no longer the case; almost ten years after the first season a second twenty four episode season was released. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to anime fans wanting a good laugh.
