Rating: B+ Ashiya is unquestionably devilish in the most literal sense of the word, but this episode we see that he can be that way in the figurative sense, too, and even without trying. Seems like Maou is not the only devil who is getting a human woman to crush on him. And really, it’sContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 11”

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 10
Rating: A- The wonderful summary quote for this episode on HIDIVE tells it all: “Some monsters you must fight and from others you must flee. But beware the Juggernaut lest you simply cease to be.” The DanMachi franchise has had no shortage of intimidating foes over its run, whether it be a giant ape, aContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 10
Rating: 4 (of 5) With this episode, the series is fully back on track with the novels, picking up in the early stages of novel 5. The one change is that Emerelda didn’t bring up Lailah at all in the novel; as speculated last episode, that’s clearly meant to be a replacement for references skippedContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 10”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 9
Rating: 4.5 (of 5) Ryu is unquestionably a killer. However, she only kills people in the cause of vengeance, so whacking an informant isn’t her style. How moral it is to kill for vengeance is another matter, but that delineation that Bell insists on having spelled out, combine with him realizing what the item heContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 9”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV
Rating: B+ Just from animated content, we know that Ryu once lost everything – her whole familia – and that one particular rival familia was responsible. In retribution, she did everything she could to wipe out that familia – here identified as Rudra* Familia, a part of Evilus (mentioned not in this series but inContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 9
Rating: 3 (of 5) I was slightly in error last week. While this mini arc isn’t in the novels, it actually is not anime-original, either; it did appear in the manga adaptation (which I have not read beyond the first volume). That does not make this any less of a two-episode filler arc, but itContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 9”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 8
Rating: B- This episode represents a very odd decision in what has otherwise been a solid adaptation so far. While part of one of the episode’s early scenes – where the Devils return to their repaired home and Ashiya makes the comment about the faucet being fixed – is at the beginning of novel 5,Continue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 8”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? episode 7
Rating: B+ Whether goddesses or adventurers, Guild workers or waitresses, DanMachi has never lacked for sexy female characters amongst its recurring cast. While fan service has never been a focus of the series, DanMachi has also not lacked for opportunities to let its diverse cast of beauties show off; in fact, it has periodically manufacturedContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? episode 7”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 7
Rating: B As expected, a crisis is afoot involving the demonic appearances, and as some of the characters started to suspect last episode, Olba is connected to it. In the end, though, resolving the demon part of this affair seemed anticlimatic compared to the indications at near the end of the episode about who andContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 7”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 6
Rating: B Last episode ended with the not-so-vague impression that something was out in the fog, and the more vague impression that Amane had more of a sense of something genuinely supernatural in that fog than she was letting on. This episode not only confirms both of those suspicions but also further suggests that there’sContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 6”
