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…

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…

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.

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.

To me, Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! was a below average comedy that overstayed its welcome. I think that ratings for comedies can be a bit dumb since for some people, the jokes just won't land. I was one of those people when it comes to Jahy-Sama. Overall I thought it was a pretty average show, although the comedy brought it down to being subpar for me. But my main problem was how long the show was. I really think this show should have only ran for 1 cour. Things just feel way too repetitive by the end to really justify the extra half cour of episodes. The jokes start to feel more and more stale, and the slow pace of the plot really starts to annoy you as the episodes continue on. I mean it is a slice of life, so the plot pacing complaint is less relevant, but my point stands. This show was fin…

Pure comedy and adorable gold. I love all the characters. Especially Jahy and Suerva, but lets not forget the Mahou Shojo and Kokoro too!
However it would also be amazing to make 'Suerva can't catch a break' anime about her trying to dethrone Jahy. It would be amaziiiing.
And thats it from me, if you watch it you won't regret it. I watched over 500 anime and this one is now in my top5 of all time
I reaaaaally want more of it in any form, it made me really sad to learn manga is near end but as I said the show has great spinoff potential but also sequel potential with the current worldbuilding. Please writer, give us more haha.

What is there to say about an utter waste of time? Boring, repetitive 'jokes' that the characters scream-explain right after they happen. haha character get mad huehue... Characters are the epitome of shallow one-note walking punchlines. Just loli-bait and it doesn't even have the decency to stand put among the rest of the loli-bait as being particularly good at anything or memorable.
The animation, art quality and sound design were at least decent enough, the only thing keeping this abortion of an anime from being a flat 1 outright.
About as funny or enjoyable as a colonoscopy performed with a stick-blender.

The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated By Capitalism.
Jahy Will not be defeated is a surprisingly feel-good comedy about the demon lord second in command Jahy-sama reverse isekai-ing into our world and having to suffer the humiliation that comes with working a minimum wage job as a bar waitress complete with Wii Mii Channel music which is of writing no-one seems to have not been uploaded to Youtube and compared to the real Wii Mii Channel music yet which is kind of alarming.
The story focuses on Jahy collecting mana crystals to restore the dark realm after a magical girl destroys it. Unfortunately, Jahy is a vicious, sadistic narcissist who tends to murder her underlings to keep the other underlings on their toes. Unfortunately for her, she can’t do any of those things when she has no power…

*NO-SPOLIER REVIEW*
I get what the writers were going for. The theory works along something like this: slice of life genre with medium amount of comedy lightly sprinkled with some deeper "feel good" moments. A shapeshifting female main character who can entice both lovers of lolis and admirers of cuter adult women, and whose personality can range from tsundere to moe depending on the situation, ticking of more checkmarks on the viewer-pull list. It is hard to put into words where they failed with their plan, but I'll try to reason my scoring anyway.
Not sure why it is not really working for me. The MC is interesting, her character is growing throughout the season, she learns new things and changes accordingly. The two closest supporting characters are also fine, although only one of them…

Calling the adaptation of Jahy-sama anything but abhorrent would be praising the efforts of the studio, because honestly, this anime is completely devoid of any single redeeming quality, not giving a single fuck about doing something that is not the lowest effort fast food shit ever. From the animation to the soundtrack, from the pacing to the comedy timing, anything that could make something of quality was thrown out of the window from the episode 1, because apparently using the voices of Aqua, Subaru and Nenechi in the ED was enough to attract the viewers to this pathetic experience
Anything that I can say in this review is not harsh enough, the amount of laziness and carelessness is just beyond the shamelessness of the medium, to the point that I could imagine them laughing at every si…

It's a comedy about the daily life of a loli (not really tho), what do you expect?
This show is surprisingly good, the comedy might not hit everyone, but the wholesomeness and characters surprised me. This anime is dumb, but in a good way, it's a nice escape from other animes.
I'll make this short, this show has semi-low lows and kinda high highs. The first few episodes may be repetitive and kinda boring, and I think they could have done better at expositions, but as the show progressed it got pretty good. The jokes may not be for everyone, but that's not all to the comedy aspect. It's main comedy focuses on the over-expressive characters and the sheer stupidity of some situations. The show's main high point is the character growth and relationships, they are surprisingly satisfying to…

Is my review biased because I’ve read the Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! manga before watching the anime? Yes. Alright, now with that out of the way let’s continue.
I am not the type of person to get hyped for things. I have only ever felt minor excitement for new or continuing, video games, anime series, book series, manga series, albums, or nature documentaries. However, I felt a moderate amount of hype for Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! Upon reflecting on why I felt this way, I concluded that it was because this was the first time I have ever read the manga before watching the anime. An unimportant detail for you maybe, but a new event for me. Now I understand how dangerous hype can be, if I allowed myself to expect too much, I would have been let down regardless of how good the final product would…

The great Jahy will never be defeated recap (mild spoilers)
After the demon realm is destroyed by a hero, The Demon realm's second in command Jahy and her underlings get sent into another world. This new world is void of magic or any royalty/peasantry status so Jahy is forced to succumb to the work culture in order to make ends meet while also finding red crystals to repair the demon realm. As Jahy becomes more accustomed to this new world she finds it isn't as bad as she initially thought and befriends many humans; She also finds many comrades who have become successful or just plain lazy.

Season 2 of Hataraku Maou-sama! has finally been greenlit and confirmed, and Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! is now once the perfect stop-gap show while waiting for the MgRonalds Madao Satan Demon to rescindle his rightful position. But is this show more than enough to warrant watching this weekly and tirelessly for the 5 months while this aired? Let's find out.
The adaptation from mangaka Wakame Konbu's work of the same name, and you can immediately put two and two together why I and so many others compare this to Hataraku Maou-sama!. Jahy-sama operates on two phases, since this is a 5-month, 20-episode long 2-cour series: the Magical Girl side covering the 1st half, and the Dark Lord sid…
