It had a really strong start, but it gradually began to wear me down...
Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! offers a premise quite different from most fantasy anime. Instead of following a grand battle between heroes and demons, the story shows what happens after the Dark Realm’s defeat. Jahy, formerly the second most powerful figure in the demon world, loses almost all her power and ends up in the human world, where she must survive by working, paying rent, and trying to recover shards of her lost mana.
It’s that classic "super-powerful character living a completely ordinary life" concept, and initially, it leads to some very funny situations. Watching someone who used to command armies worry about bills, food, and a job works really well for comedy.
The animation is merely average, but it never r…

Funny, loveable amazing characters & actually had a plot that wrapped up in the end. I didn't know what to expect going into this but the little girl form & then being an actual big demon lady was a cool gimmick & all her past people & friends along the way were interesting & fun in their own way & without spoiling anything I like how the ending actually connected the story that was somewhat being told throughout in the background, the highlight of this show is certainly the main character who is sassy & loveable. It's about a demon who ends up on earth & is navigating the day to day struggles of humans while also being stuck in the form of a little girl.

Who could say no to this adorable demon girl!!!
This sat on my must-watch list for a few years, and I finally started it LAST year. I like demon-lord reincarnated comedy shows I suppose. And the first cour/season 12 episodes of Great Jahy did not disappoint. There were some moments in this that were so funny I laughed myself hoarse, and cried.
It's sort of similar to the Level 1 Demon Lord One Room Hero anime of a couple seasons ago; she was "2nd in command" of the Dark Realm, and ends up somehow in our world, but lives in a 'one room' apartment and has no money. Jahy's goal is to try and make some money and search for 'mana crystals' so she can accumulate enough of them to return to the Dark Realm.
Her efforts are in vain; and she ends up having to work part time at a restaurant. She does…

"It even seems like it's from another world"
It's confusing the way this anime works, things that should please you doesn't, and such non important things impresses.
The best way to describe it are the jokes; most of the jokes are beyond obvious and have silly punchlines and such a weird time, sometimes the characters don't react the joke for a few seconds and by the time you already realized the outcome and ends being so dull when finally happens, and then out of nowhere you see a unexpected reaction from a character and caught yourself laughing without noticing; it's something that makes you perplexed to the point of questioning if there is some hidden geniality here you are not able to see, and the characters makes you even more perplexed.
The best characters are those who less shows…

The powerful right-hand of the dark lord is forced to exist powerless and impoverished in modern society when a magical girl shatters the dimension she resides in, separating her from her powers and her enviable social status. After losing her powers her form periodically reverts to that of a child and she must come to terms with working for a meager living wage and accepting the handouts and generosity of others while trying to restore her power.
Thematically a slice-of-life comedy, Jahy is a tonal mess of a show and its lead character may be called a gross miscast for the sort of playful karmic retribution that occurs throughout the anime. The premise of the show is that a cartoonishly evil character must succumb to living a life of borderline poverty in the modern world, but the 'comeu…

This is a funny anime, I was very entertained.
The comedy is quite fresh for me, not excessive or weird.
Intake of comedy anime is very suitable especially to clear your mind.
What do people expect more from this anime?
I mean, hey this is Jahy-sama's show.
You can't trivialize the show of the great being who is the second person in the hell realm hahaha! (jk) So, if I may judge, story-wise there's nothing special.
It's just how the daily life of Jahy who has a dream to be able to restore the hell realm again accompanied by funny characters such as the manager, landlady, magical girl or people from the hell realm such as druj, Maou, who really color the story with their funny actions.
oh don't forget this one character who really wants to be number 2
in hell, Saurva!!!
Very funny and c…

This is the first review I've ever written, but this review is only to explain what I feel about this series and to shortly explain why.
Story:
*The plot centers arround Jahy, the second ranking "demon" from the underworld or dark realm. After the destuction of the great mana crystal, which is the heart of the dark realm, she finds herself stranded in the human world and commits herself to look for every shard of the mana crystal that she can find in order to rebuild her kingdom.*
At first, every episode focuses on some little adverture or misadventure in which she finds herself in, due to several factors that include surviving in a human city, working, being hungry, paying rent. Eventually, the show focuses more on her relationship with her recently found allies. Most situations are so…

I'd like to preface this review in saying that it took MONTHS for me to finish this anime.
I liked the characters and the overall story, but after several episodes the anime got stale for me. The only way I was able to finish this show was to watch it while working. It all gets repetitive after awhile, even if the quality is decent enough for the watch.
If you want to watch something good that'll keep you interested all throughout, this isn't that show. If you need something to listen to the background or watch from the corner of your eye, then this show will suffice.

This is a comfort show of mine. Humour is subjective and you'll either love or hate this show. Regardless of which side you are on, it's important to remember that everyone has their own opinions. Without further ado:
This is a light hearted, comedy show that shouldn't be taken seriously. Like with all comedies of these nature, there will be flaws and as such, to enjoy this show, you need to be someone that can accept a fiction for what it is and not too couped up on realism in fiction.
Story 7/10
It's not original and yes it has been done before countless times ie demon lord being summoned to human world, but it doesn't pretend that its a story that needs to be taken seriously. From the onset of the show, it's clearly a comedy and one that focuses on the struggles of a Jahy, the demon…

If you wanted cute reverse isekai akin to Hataraku Maou-sama then you may have gotten the closest thing to that with Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai!.
This show has a lot of its own little things that make it fun, such as Jahy, her boss, and her wide array of supporting cast. This show is a perfect show to turn your brain off, no need to think, inject a giant overarching plot, it's sit down shut up and watch. This is your standard anime comedy with running gags, exaggerated personalities, and moments of heart to heart, nothing that would shock the average anime fan. It does have some neat little surprises with its plot, that being a fun quirky adventure with lots of real-world struggles that Jahy faces that our Satan from Hataraku Maou-sama didn't exactly face, so it is different in the struggles…

She has no style, she has no grace, Jahy makes a hell of a case. She's big or small when she needs to be, it's quite the silly, fun comedy. If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong. With a cat girl ears, she's one cute demon(g). Huh!
...I'll cringe at that later. I'll try to keep writing now...That was being a case for one of my favorite "no actual worries" anime. Just chillin'.
If you don't get a portion of your anime enjoyment from stellar voice performances (we're talking Japanese here), then this anime probably won't be as enjoyable, that's just my feeling. The STORY (7) motto we got here for this style of laid back and wholesome anime is k-i-s-s, keep it simple, stupid, and it does this in a good way and its paced well. Our fish-out-of-water “protagonist” struggles to survive in…

If you are looking for a fun cute anime then you have to watch Jahy-sama wa kujikenai.
Nowadays i rarely find any anime that can justify me or make me laugh.In this case tho even if Jahy-sama wa kujikenai has a lot of elements from other anime it successfully managed to actually make them enjoyable.
The characters of the story weren't that many but each one of them had their own unique characteristics
Also a lot of comedy anime fail to have a good plot in jahy-sama's case tho the plot was very amusing and it made me want to watch episode after episode.
i highly recommend this anime :)

Personally, I enjoyed this. However, there were some noticeable production issues. This being made by Silver Link might be why, but SL shouldn't be the one getting all the bad rap.
Visuals were nice, however in the later episodes, it seemed that the digital cels for foreground objects and characters had a bit of a noticeable line around them (and not in a good way), which made it look like they were superimposed onto the screen in a cheap-er fashion than earlier in the show.
Sound and music were pretty good, no qualms there.
Story is average.
The anime had those moments where you really want a character to do something and then they go in another direction, so that gives it some bonus points. Well done, SL.
I rate 8.

Ah yeah, this is that dopamine rush I live for. This is why I watch anime. Jahy-sama is simply pure fun to watch.
Honestly reverse isekai where fantasies characters get sent to the real world aren't even that unique anymore. That genre is so bled dry that every combination of settings has been done. Despite tons of comparisons I could make to other shows I felt this one stood above the rest in it's completely brutal treatment of our main character. You take a girl with an insanely prideful personality and put her in the most unfortunate situation possible and there's bound to be laughs. Not to mention just how adorable she is when she's mad.
Watching Jahy constantly fail would be disheartening if she reacted the way some characters do when bullied by the universe. But the title of the sh…

Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! did everything that Machikado Mazoku was not able to do.
What was that? Create an engaging comedy with a theme of demons, magical beings, and magical girls.
What exactly makes Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! good? It all really boils down to characterization through light-hearted comedy. Sometimes, that's enough. I honestly think that Jahy has a much more in-depth character profile than protagonists in random shounen shows, like Shin in 86, purely due to the fact that I actually get to witness Jahy through a lot of different scenarios and go through a wide spectrum of emotions, while someone like Shin barely even talks, let alone makes me feel a connection with the character.
Due to her demonic powers being taken away from her, Jahy is not only powerless, but also undergoes…

Story/characters:
If the synopsis wasn’t clear enough this anime is a pure comedy of the simple kind and isn’t something you are supposedly to take seriously. This is a show that is driven by its cast of wacky characters who all have their various quirks that makes them both funny and endearing.
For example, we have the great Jahy who attempts to carry a veneer of class and authority but is actually a terribly insecure girl that is afraid of being shown up and is not beyond lying (terribly I may add) to hide her glaring shortcomings. Naturally she falls into numerous predicaments where her flaws are painfully exposed and the stuff she gets up to in digging herself out the hole are funny to watch. Whilst the comedy is not sophisticated by any means (it is rather childish actually) I never…

I liked it a lot! :) It did surprise me and the last 2 episodes were outstanding...
Great charakters and Jahy is really amazing. Her attitude is funny and shes still very lovely.
I would love to see a second season.
Usally I like more emotions, action or fan service, I didnt watch too many comedy anime. For comedy anime lovers its probably a 10/10 ^^ For me it was a 8/10, but the last episodes gave me a lot of joy, so I give it a 9/10 :D
The animations and the art style were outstanding, too... They did motivate me to watch a comedy anime. I will follow the studio to find more of this quality!

Jahy is lighthearted, cutesy nonsense. It's not meant to change the landscape of the medium or anything like that. You're here to watch an occasionally loli demon rough it in a tiny apartment, try to antagonize the people she meets, reminisce of her glory days, and have her superiority complex chipped away. It's simple, slapstick, and an easy watch if you want to just take it easy.
Story 6/10
It's a basic story. Jahy was once the number two commander of the dark realm and was feared and worshipped by her underlings. The dark realm gets nuked and our story starts with Jahy barely making a life in the human realm. She lives in a shitty apartment, has a waitress job, and is always short on cash. She's generally a jerk to the people in her life, but they turn out to be pretty nice to her. As…

This show is not the best story but it is comforting and throughout the whole time watching it I was always feeling happy and taken away from being bored or sad. The main reason I love the show so much is because the characters are some of my favorite from an anime. Every single one of them had their fair share of screen time making none of them lacking in character or personality. I loved their designs, their voices, their personalities, their tropes, everything about them was amazing!. Anyway, thank you for reading this review and try this show out if you enjoy relaxing or if you want to get away from something bothering you for a little bit. :)

What is this anime?
Dark Realm gets destroyed. The second-in-command from dark realm (Jahy) has to live along with the humans and find crystals to repair the dark realm and get her powers back.
Did I enjoy it?
First off gotta say they used rebranded Mii channel music from the Wii for several scenes. I can't tell if I like it or hate it for that. However it was very entertaining. Very lighthearted. Problems that the MC has to put up with through the plot get solved quickly. (except for the whole dark-realm-destroyed thing) There's a slow-moving running story, but most scenes are the everyday life of Jahy. Every episode was fun to watch. All characters are lovable.
