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

What's up with 2022 and new Seasons of good/great shows that immediately take a couple of steps back? Season 1 was "almost" great if not for the minor flaws here and there, but it had the core that worked for it - nice comedy routines and character interactions that made it into a fun show. Season 2 barely does any comedy. Some of it works, most of it isn't executed too well. Character relationships are still interesting to follow, but with the turtle pacing it feels sluggish. I wish this Show gets in the hands of someone competent to make a proper adaptation. They basically throw out the whole"part-time" stuff because reasons, new characters don't have much of a screen time and episodes are getting dragged on for the sake of hitting those 20 min marks instead of bringing in more content.
Romance was always in the background of the show and while I was hoping for anything meaningful to happen between both MCs, instead they keep it on a surface level, all while numerous occasions should somewhat move them forward.

Comedy is generally not executed all too well since as usual speed is key and they lose it half the time while most support cast aren't exactly doing an impressive job in this regard.
There was quite a lot to unpack in terms of world building but instead it was brief and a real waste.

As it is with Shield Hero, I hope they get another chance to improve this show and get it back on track otherwise I feel like it will be over. And I do want it to go on, potential is still there.
