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

This season was a huge disappointment. Hataraku season one was not a masterpiece by any means, but it was good at what it was trying to be. A nice mix of reverse Isekai, Slice of Life and a Mystery, all strung together by a charming cast, grounded humor and a wink of the creator. Like this they were able to mask the problems and focus on the strong aspects of the show. The problem with this season on the other hand is simple. Nearly every positive aspect of before is gone and replaced with a new negative one. Sadly this way, there is little left tohold the pre-existing demerits in check anymore, resulting in this disappointing product.
But let me explain it in a little more detail.

Anmation:
The very first thing you notice is the massive drop in animations quality and designs. Everything is very simplyfied, while the models are melting and limited to no animation is topping things off. It looks like a 10 year old Hentai and not a good one at that. Below average would be a compliment here.

Plot:
Out of thin air our heros get involved with a new plotline, that litterally materialized out of nothing and lands right infront of them. Introducing a ,,cute baby character" that just so happend to be related to 3 different main plotlines.
- One that comes out of nowhere and is completly irrelevat to the story
- The twist one that comes out of nowhere and isn´t expanded on
- The main one that comes out of the blue and isn´t explained
Even the Slice if Life episodes weren´t able to shine. With the mass of new, mostly pointless characters taking up screentime, the overload of established characters and annoying filler material, there is little place to place the fun part in.
On the surface it looks like something in season one would happen, but with no interconnection or heart in any of it.

Character:
The changes to the established characters were rather odd. At times it felt like the reactions were coming out of the wrong persons mouth, as if they simply had mistaken one for another. Or the emotions towards others amplified, but in an unexpected direction.
The stated motivation, background and their doing weren´t realy in line either.
It felt very off, more than once.

Humor:
Gone. None. Nada. Not a single joke or ,,funny situation" landed. Which isn´t great for a comedy.

Such a big waste of time and money. Do yourself a favor and skip this season. Just pretend the story ended in season one, that´s probably the best you can do.
