Review of The Devil is a Part-Timer! Season 2

The Devil is Running at 30fps. Another finger on that cursed monkey paw curls after finally granting the anime community decade old wish for a second season of “The Devil is a Part-Timer”. We got it, but at what cost? Well, the animation was the cost. It’s unavoidable to not notice the slightly stinky artwork and choppy animation by Studio 3Hz. From poorly animated fights to faces falling off models, the difference in quality compared to White Fox’s first season is almost deal-breaking. Luckily though what it lacks in depth of artistry it manages to make up with charming characters. The voice actors still have it whenit comes to performing their roles, especially Maou and Emi, and their impeccable comedic timing is still fun to watch. The introduction of Alas Ramus, the mysterious fruit baby and the fallout of her insisting that the Devil and the Hero are her mother and father was hilarious and perfectly sets up the season. I like how this affects Maou’s and Emi’s relationship too. Their complicated history and reluctant partnership are really interesting and I’m glad this season still builds upon it.
I’m not a fan of this season's main villain Gabriel, but I do wonder how much of my opinion of him is skewed because he always seems to be animated poorly. At the very least he’s mid-tier.

I can’t blame you if you were a fan of White Fox’s first season and after seeing this you dropped the show. I think it’s still a good show and the animation errors only really affected my enjoyment during fight scenes. They’re still the same loveable characters, just a bit less polished and with their eyes further apart.
I’m torn between giving this a 6 or 7, but I’m going to give it a very low:

7/10 Good-ish
