Plot. Well-rounded plot, everywhere.
Yet another adaptation of a light novel with a ridiculously long title, and another one involving yuusha and maou, but I found the beginning of the manga charming enough so this might be a watch for me. If for nothing else than the plots.

that was enough for me to keep watching this show, at least until the next episode and over the years I've already learned to filter out and not pay attention to most of the fanservice shots these kind of series are always full of.

I had nothing to watch and the premise reminded me of Hataraku Maou-sama so I decided to give it a try. Let's get out of the way: this has none of the charm Hataraku had. However, the animation was surprisingly good, the girls were cute and the fanservice was nice (lots of softness). Pretty fun overall. It's a good contender for best fanservice anime of the season. Will keep watching if I have nothing better to watch on Friday nights.

I couldn't recognize any of the voices in this episodes so I looked the voice actors up on ANN, and sure enough, the majority of them are newcomers or have had very few roles. Maybe they didn't hire anybody famous to save budget for the animation? I'm not sure how it works. The animation was ridiculously good for a show like this one.

I'll probably give this at least one more episode to see where it's going.
Not massively impressed, but I did like some of the references. The whole magical thing, people buying 'magic' cassettes, the magic microwave, and the magic hair dryer, was ridiculous. Presumably all those boxes behind the counter were 'magic' Fujifilm. Then there was the reference to the Starship Enterprise, which I spotted even before we saw the registration number. That was out of nowhere. Yeah, it's stupidly fanservicey, but does it have a good story as well? I think the whole 'fantasy land characters in mundane situations' bit is a little old and been done better. |

The demon kid didn't really strike me as fun to watch, she looks really plain.
Reminded me of maou-sama, but without the character chemistry. every technology being 'magic' whatever is kind of weird. More interested in the other female employees than the demon kid. |

Crunchyroll has picked this up with the English title of I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job.

How cruel to do a gorgeous fantasy intro as Hataraku Maou-sama did. I still don't know what to expect with this series expect sweet pudding jiggle.
We got great animation thanks to Tetsuya Takeuchi as animation director but I didn't expect him bringing some old acquaintances like Koji Yabuno, Takahiro Chiba, Masayuki Yoshiki from the Kamichu crew... and somehow he also brought many Mirai Nikki animators (thanks to Naoto Hosoda?).
