"Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well."  -Josh Billings

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work." -Colin Powell

 

What would it be like for many of the greatest fantasy heroes and villains to come to this world?   Would they be the same?

What if the magical powers and advantages they enjoyed were locked only to the world they are from?  How would they adapt?

As much as the fish out of water troupe is played, it is done so for a reason.  When done well, it can make for amazing stories.

This is a comedy about good and evil.   Not necessarily just from the traditional sense, but from the sense of how two opposing sides can completely misrepresent and misunderstand one another. 

It is also about the heroic and the demonic having to deal with the same mundane problems that can make our own lives shitty.  Will they rise to the occasion or fall under the constant weight that a mundane existence can bring?

Do not take the names at face value.  These are not the characters you are expecting.  They are refugees from a world called Ente Isla.

Before they could finish the climatic battle to finish the last great war, the Demon King and the Hero Emilia take a gate to a version of modern Tokyo.  They are immediately confused by the lack of magical power of our modern world.

Titans are reduced to kittens.   They go from superheroes and supervillains to people who can not stand up against the local police.

This modern world is not like theirs.   They have to adapt and change their habits.

They also paradoxically end up helpless against the uncaring grind of the modern world. They are outsiders that must struggle to blend in to fit in.

Season one of this one is like season one of One Punch man.   I watched each about 5 times and still love both of them. 

This is the only thing I've ever scene that could make a scene, that was literally a metaphor for disarming a bomb, funny. It's currently on Crunchyroll.

Wiki Quote,

"The Demon Lord Satan seeks to conquer the world of Ente Isla by annexing its four continents with the help of his demon generals Alciel, Lucifer, Malacoda, and Adramelech. After being confronted by the hero Emilia and her companions, after they had killed Malacoda and Adramelech, Satan and Alciel escape the world of Ente Isla through a gate to modern Tokyo, Japan. However, due to the lack of magic in the modern contemporary world, both Satan and Alciel change into forms representing what they would look like if they were human. In order to survive, Satan takes a part-time job in a fast food restaurant named MgRonald's, while Alciel serves as his houseman. One day, Satan, who now goes by Sadao Maou, meets a girl who is actually Emilia in the form of Emi Yusa. The story then unfolds and explores the personalities of each of the characters and their moral values. More characters show up from Ente Isla and they too face the new world dilemmas, often comically."

The Devil is a Part-Timer! – Opening Theme – ZERO!!

 

Get out of the gate
true sky

This moment, this place is the beginning.
Let's try to imagine: what are you capable of?
Things will happen that you'd never have thought possible,
More... We can go even further.

(power of dream) Everything is born from zero.
Shine bright (fly) and get to that sky.
(light blue wind) I want to flap my wings with everything I have.
Keep your very best smile on, and come on, let's go!

Now, let's take off and fly to worlds yet unknown. (go to another world)
It's up to you to decide your own future.
Let's chase after our dreams. There will be days of tears,
But it's a precious wish, so don't disappear.
I'm sure you'll meet the you of tomorrow...

I have so much fun when we're together.
There isn't a moment when I don't want to be with you.
I tightly embrace the words I can't convey,
And softly... (break through the field) I cast my feelings to the sky.

(power of love) From where does it spring to life...?
It's strange. (sign) When you realize,
(jewelry heart) Hold on and don't let go.
This is the strongest encounter, more direct than with anyone else.

Even if the entire world were to transform, (it's no big deal)
This truth alone would remain the same.
Let's aim for even greater heights! Don't forget...
Even if the path outlined by the stars is obscured,
You can just return to your self of zero.

You can find what only you can do.
Beyond the light... There are no boundaries.
Now, let's take off and fly to worlds yet unknown. (go to another world)
It's up to you to decide your own future.
Let's chase after our dreams. There will be days of tears,
But it's a precious wish, so don't disappear.
I'm sure you'll meet the you of tomorrow...

The Devil is a Part-Timer! - OFFICIAL Episode 6 ED - Romanized ver.

 

https://hataraku.fandom.com/wiki/Moon_Flower#English_

From where does the morning come?
The quiet sky, the pinky promise I pretended not to see, that fingertip?
If it's the moon that was laughed at.
it's going away in the direction of yesterday.

A liar, a coward - collect all that and I'm the result;
if I was blooming, it must have been within a dream.

I hid it in the moonlight, but you know, the truth is that I was crying.
My tears won't flow anymore - has the well run dry?
If everything could be forgiven, maybe they'd flow again,

but there are so many things I want to protect.
