The original season of The Devil is a Part-Timer! is now available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu, complete with both English dub and subtitle options. This acquisition brings the 13-episode first season, produced by White Fox, back to major platforms for both new viewers and returning fans.
The series kicks off with Demon Lord Satan being forced to flee his fantasy world of Ente Isla through a portal to modern-day Tokyo. Stripped of his powers, he takes on a human guise and a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant to make ends meet while plotting his return. The comedic clash between epic fantasy stakes and mundane retail work is the show's core appeal.
White Fox, known for its work on series like Steins;Gate and Re:Zero, delivered a vibrant adaptation of the popular manga. The anime currently holds a 7.7 rating on MyAnimeList, based on over one million voter entries, underscoring its significant audience reception.
This first season sets the stage for the ongoing saga, introducing Satan's loyal general Alsiel and the hero Emilia, who also finds herself stranded in Japan. The narrative expertly blends supernatural action with slice-of-life comedy, exploring themes of work ethic and adaptation in a uniquely hilarious way. With Season 2 having concluded its run, this is the perfect opportunity to revisit or discover the series' origins.
