Personal Opinions
Unpronounceable
This show has such a generic premise, but it managed to be one of, if not the show of the season. It is really funny, which really comes through as they play the absurd concept completely straight. The characters are a lot of fun, the comedic timing is spot on, and it's consistently very funny. Sometimes it plays the tropes straight, otherwise it subverts them, but it's always entertaining. Give it a shot, and enjoy the faces.
The Devil Tesla
The biggest strength of The Devil is a Part-Timer is how strangely believable it is, like the whole joke about Satan actually being a very good fry cook because he ambitiously goes after those pointless promotions they give you. This kind of thing never leads directly to a punchline, but builds a world where the rest of the story happens. The characters are over the top, but never to the point where they aren't understandable. There's some stuff here that doesn't work (ep 10 is the beach episode and it's a bad one), but you should still check it out.
