The great Jahy will not be defeated! Simultaneously combating starvation, the lack of A/C, and the unavoidable weakness of turning child-sized, Jahy—previously the second strongest being in the Dark Realm—is under great stress. If it weren't for the destruction of the mana crystal which used to power the Dark Realm, Jahy would still be living a life of power and luxury.
And yet, at the moment, brawling with the landlady over rent is a recurring event for Jahy. Just to have a place to stay and food to eat, Jahy must work part-time. However, her immense pride will not allow her to live under such poor conditions for any longer than necessary. Vowing to reinstate the Dark Realm to its former glory, Jahy continues her journey to reassemble the mana crystal.

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 thecomedy 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 watch.
So, the show focuses on the daily struggles of the Great Jahy, the Demon Realm's No.2, as she gets reverse-isekaied to Japan. And she has 1 goal in mind, to resurrect the Demon Realm, it's literally written on her shirt. She works hard, hits some lows, but soon grows to like the earth. She grows to love the people around her and learns to show selflessness to help others, as she was helped.
My only complaints are that the exposition portion was repetitive, the comedy falls flat sometimes, and the rest of the cast could have gotten more development or growth. I would've wanted to see conflict that wasn't just from landlady, but that's about it.
The characters are dumb, but that's the point is it not? They are so absurd that it becomes funny to watch their interactions with Jahy. Shop owner is too nice, that she gets anyone to love her. Landlady is too normal, actually the only rational person, which is kinda her joke. Druj is just dumb when it comes to Jahy, and I actually really like their interactions, since Jahy changes back to Demon Realm mode. Kyouko was a very interesting and mysterious character, but her character has nice depth to it, and like Druj, her weakness is Jahy. Kokoro, gives the show a nice wholesome vibe, she's too pure and all of us, including Jahy, want to protect her. Last is Salwa (best girl, fight me) she adds depth on the Demon Realm stuff and it's really funny to see her fail (that sounded wrong).
Overall, this anime was a ride, it had its fiar share of flaws, but pulled through in the end. The surprising wholesomeness just warms my heart. Good anime....Salwa best girl.

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 unimportantdetail 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 be. However, level-headedness prevailed. So, I can safely say that this is a good adaptation. Sure the animation could be better, but, I can still recognize that the story and the sound in Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai are lovely. You might not like this type of iyashikei anime like I do, but if you do, you are definitely in for something special. 8/10.
*Spoilers beyond this point*
The story of Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! is about pain, suffering, bills, and half victories.
From struggling to grow a tomato plant, to paying rent, from finding mystic gems in the ocean to getting lost in the wooded area behind her apartment. It just makes me happy. Watching every week to see The Marvelous Misadventures of Jahy really warmed my heart this summer and fall. Even though I liked the story, there are problems. Including one of my biggest pet peeves, a character being physically different and others having no comment about it. Jahy, Salwa, and Druj ann have pointy ears, but all of the humans don’t seem to mind. It would be one of my first questions. “What’s up with your ears there small child? Why do they remind me of Legolas?” But that’s only a pet peeve and not a major problem. A real problem I have with the story is that the magical girl and Jahy becoming (very) fast friends make no sense. Yeah, Jahy sees part of herself in the magical girl (pain, suffering, half victories, and so on), but she still destroyed the demon realm. I would still be absolutely furious if someone destroyed Earth and then wanted to be my friend. Another thing I really did not like is the rushed ending. The entire climax took only one and a half episodes, and it was also anti-climatic. It’s a real shame because it could have been a better one given proper time. Finally, I am in two minds about skipping the whole “Hi, I’m Jahy, the Deamon Realm’s number two, now give me a job and a place to stay.” On one hand, it is nice to get right into the show without the introductions, but on the other, I think it would be nice to see the introductions.
One of the things that might upset the Jahy-sama manga readers alone is that the anime is not a shot-for-shot remake of the manga. Some parts are added, or removed, or changed from the manga. Most of these changes don’t really bother me, but the one thing that did was the fact that they took out some of the meme images that the manga spawned. This is disappointing not only because they would be funny to see in motion, but also they could make people want to watch the show. A thing that bothered me, and maybe nobody else on this planet, is that the anime showed Jahy at the bathhouse, but then waited to show Salwa’s perspective in the next episode. It should have been one after another to help the flow.
When this adaptation was announced in mid to late April, I hoped that Kyoto Animation would be behind this adaptation. But, instead, we got Silver Link. Now, I have seen some of Silver Link’s work before, and I found the animation ranging from very good to okay. And I can safely say that the animation in Jahy-sama lands considerably in the good section. Not okay, not very good, but good. The colors are nice and vibrant and the color pallet is nice and consistent. So, this leads to a very nice comedy anime adaptation. The colors and some of the animation looks good in both OPs and EDs. However, I do have serious criticisms with the animation. When a person moves, the arms, legs, head, or the whole body moves either as a blur or in a snap motion. Now a lot of anime do this, but what really gets me is when these animation problems are in the OP or ED. These are critical animation parts of the anime because it is what the viewer sees at the beginning and end of every episode. Also, it is the same 90-second loop. Silver Link really should have put more effort and time into these OPs and EDs. I would have scored the animation lower, but I really enjoyed the good parts of the visuals in both of the OP and both EDs.
Not only did I like some of the visuals of the second OP and both EDs, but I also loved the music in all four of them. All four songs were upbeat and catchy. They fit very well with the bright and vibrant colors of the show. The voice actors chosen to portray these characters are all fantastic too. The voices of all of the characters fit very well, and when I read the manga, I thought that they would have very similar voices. However, I also believe that there was room for improvement. I would of have had all of the voice actors go a bit further when voice acting their characters. For example, I believe the store manager should have leaned a bit more into the motherly “ara ara~” archetype. Also, I would have made adult Jahy’s voice a little deeper, a little more commanding, and a little more confident than it is. Since this is a comedy anime, I don’t think the voice acting quality would be compromised by these slight changes.
Watching Jahy go from “For the love of the Dark Lord, why do I have to be around all of you moronic humans?!” to “Yeah. I guess you guys are my friends.” Seeing her slowly change throughout this season is not only better done than quite a few other anime, but also really fun to watch. The magical girl also has some character development. Although, it is not very extensive. She goes from foe to an obsessed friend. Her interactions with Jahy are fun to watch too. While only Jahy and the magical girl are the deepest characters, the other characters are fun and/or interesting.
Honestly, even though I have criticisms with all aspects of this show, I still loved it. Watching Jahy and her band of colorful friends fumble about daily life, really warmed my heart. There were days when I really looked forward to Saturdays because I knew that a new episode of Jahy-sama was waiting for me at home. Now, not everyone has the same taste as me. So, this anime won’t before everyone. However, if you like this type of iyashikei anime like I do, you are in for something special. I walked away from this anime feeling satisfied, happy, and hopeful for another season. Overall, the characters, and animation get a 7, the story an 8, and the sound and entertainment a 9. For a final score of 8/10.

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 justplain lazy. The great Jahy will never be defeated is a fun and playful comedy reverse-isekai with a lot of promise, will Jahy be able to repair the demon realm or will she prefer the new life as a bar waitress?
Story & Characters: 7/10
The story at first didn't appear interesting but after watching the first few episodes, I was hooked. Although comedy is a large element in the show, there are underlying elements like plot and narrative goal as well as fairly clear world building. Jahy is a playful take on good vs evil and shows us that change in environment and personal influence can have a significant impact on a person's way of life. After many hardships and successes, Jahy grows to find that there is more to this new world and grows fond of its people. However, that isn't all the story; Despite its comedic appeal the great Jahy has an unpredictable storyline with bad people becoming good and good people becoming bad - It doesn't have the level of violence as other demons series but it raises an interesting idea that "yesterday's enemy is today's friend". After Jahy transports she has many fights which usually end in a stalemate where she drops the rivalry and befrienss her enemies. I really enjoyed this approach instead of losing a character to her own character development. Many of the human characters in the great Jahy aren't scared of Jahy but instead help her in hard times or even fight her which may be the biggest influence in her change of demeanor. Overall, the story is more playful and doesn't unnecessarily kill characters for the main character's development.
Art & Sound: 7/10
The art style is good quality the animation as well for that matter. The character designs for Jahy are generally on the moe-side and in adult form it's more explorative. I enjoyed the set designs because they're consistent throughout the entire show as well as a lot of the character designs. The art tends to fall apart in wide shots and series itself implements a lot of wide shots but they and the slideshow animation don't devolve the overall visual experience as much as I thought they would.
Some of the music in this series is used to sound adventurous and fun which is a good approach. Many of Jahy's hardships come from her ability to transform into an adult so in her child form there is a lot more comedic elements at disposal on her and sound is one of the better elements used. The voice acting is suitable and very entertaining especially from the landlady, Jahy and the hero.
Overall & Enjoyment: 7/10
I'm glad I was able to watch this show; There are a lot of flaws with this type of show like its comedy delaying a lot of plot progression especially in the beginning or some events feeling longer than expected. However, overall I really did enjoy the friction build up especially toward the end of the show with the Demon Lord and Justice.

"The longer the journey, the more profound its challenges, the more it changes all who endure it." - Maghra 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 toHataraku 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 side covering the 2nd half.
At the very beginning, the reverse-Isekai features that are akin to Hataraku Maou-sama! plays out like you'd expect: a demon being (in this case, a demon girl) that has her world powered by the mana crystals (that gives strength to the Dark Realm) that's shattered by the Magical Girl, only to fall from grace into the human world as a childlike being but a loli (because all demons instantly lose their powers) to go and gather them to restore the Dark Realm, once and for all. The plot is as simple as that, but the only thing that the Great Jahy has obstructing her path is the Magical Girl a.k.a Kyouko Jingu whom destroyed her world in the first place, and is attempting to do the same in the human world. Thankfully, the Great Jahy-sama does not do this alone, and has her subordinate Druj a.k.a Nana Dojima to help her out, except that she's a wealthy woman leading a consultant company as its president, and that Druj has all the wealth to assist Jahy in finding the mana crystals. While all of this is going on, Jahy has to find a way to make her daily life useful, so she is taken in by the Ara-Ara store manager of the pub known as "Craft Pub Maou" while being forced to live in a run-down apartment that's run by the landlord, her sister Ryou. Oh, and plus the tremendously idiotic and hilarious Salwa, whose inventive plans and strategies always ends up failing due to her carelessness. This is actually not a bad start to the series, considering that if you have watched Hataraku Maou-sama! before, you would already know how all this worked out before with the supernatural setting and the comedy attached to it. A great 1st half if you ask me.
Alas, being a 2-cour show, once the inclusion of the Dark Lord (the 1st-in-command) enters the highway, this I feel just took the show in a worse direction. The only good thing that came out of it was the inclusion of Kokoro, this innocent-looking elementary school girl that Jahy notices that she could be her next subordinate in helping her find more mana crystals. The Demon Lord character isn't bad, but looking at the way of her reaction being a non-talkative demon while simultaneously being a glutton of all things and taken care of by the Magical Girl, she's basically a mute that only responds to the things of like. Sadly though, mangaka Wakame Konbu's writing also suffers from constant repetitiveness of its gags and jokes, that once you've already seen it a few times before, you already know what to expect, and it doesn't take long for the comedy to become so stale and boring. So, I would say a great start that boggled down by the progression of the source material, adding characters that are essential to the series while putting a backburner on the comedy side. It's not an after-thought since it has already been established right from the get-go.
The Great Jahy-sama as a character can seem overwhelming at first glance because of her nonchalant behaviour to quickly get things done back to the original state with her confidence, vigor, and ambitions, and that is how we're supposed to see her from the start. It's only overtime that characters like the Ara-Ara store manager and the landlord (Ryou) sisters begin to open Jahy's hardened heart to softness and compassion towards the humans, the most significant of them being the innocent Kokoro which sees her as not just an ally but as a friend, that opens up Jahy's character development. The others like Jahy's former assistant Druj though, as much as she is the head of the conglomerate company she is leading as the president (which means money isn't a big problem), she is simply a genius character who carries all the great comedy being one that's in love with how Jahy treats her like a S&M, that even better, is VA-ed by the one and only HanaKana, which absolutely fits her character to the T. The battle to the death against the Magical Girl Kyouko Jingu, I'd fathom that Jahy doesn't even need to retaliate too much despite the fact that she destroyed the Dark Realm in the first place, because she is a parody of a hero character, a klutz out to save people from their misfortunes. The more mana crystals that she collects, the greater the karma of bad luck. Even more detrimental is Salwa (or Saurva if you wish) who aims to take Jahy's place as the 2nd-in-command, and you can think of her as the sidekick to present some kind of rivalry that her plans constantly goes awry each and every single time. A decent character to break the mold, but not by much.
Production-wise, don't expect too much from the decent studio that is Silver Link, and as much as the quality is concerned for long-running shows like this one, director Mirai Minato and his staff team (which surprisingly has hit-or-miss series composer Michiko Yokote onboard) did their best to keep it decent without being too flashy, because really, this show doesn't need that glamour. Sound-wise, this is also another show where I'd find that the former half's OST is the much better one compared to the latter half in every single regard. I mean, Yui Ogura's OP and the NEGI☆U Hololive ED were the perfect starter OST songs set for the show, giving it the appeal that the show really needed to stand out from the outset. While Sumire Uesaka's OP and Miho Okazaki's ED for the 2nd set ain't bad, it felt like a significant downgrade from seriousness to all-play mechanics. Remember that this is a show that's set on comedy roots, and I must say that I'm kinda disappointed that the show took an abrupt turn even on aspects that felt even the most minor.
Overall, I'd feel that this show could've been made as just a 1-cour 12/13 episode production, and since that would've been enough for fans to clamor for another season of Jahy-sama, I'd guess that stretching this to a 2-cour made the most sense to encapsulate the entire (translated) source material (as of the posting of this review). Also, because of its weird starting date 1 month exact into the Summer season in August, while there's clear Ws and Ls about this move, the distinction is that Jahy-sama, as good as it can get for a mime-ified version of Hataraku Maou-sama!, while feeling sub-standardly inferior to the former, the enjoyment is as much as the show starts to wear on your patience on the execution of its comedy, which is the constant variable.
See to it how you'd want to enjoy watching The Great Jahy Will NOT Be Defeated!, but it's a decent show for me.

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 showwill suffice.

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 thisreview 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 single preventable error, thinking about the crappy quality of their product, and I wouldn’t blame them, I would laugh too. The main offender of this whole train wreck is the animation, which is a complete waste of electric energy and any natural resource used to create this, and I mean human resources too. I could understand that some innocent mind would say “Dude, this anime doesn’t need a big bucks animation”, and I gently agree, but I’m not talking about big flashy bangs cumload highlight reel animation, I’m talking about basic human decency animation, I’m talking about not doing a terrorist attack to the fundamentals of art. To exemplify this, I would go to the most pathetic example (Spoilers ahead), the fight between Jahy and the Mahou Shoujo. The fight between Jahy and the Mahou Shoujo featured a background with some random ass stairs, those random ass stairs, that didn’t even play a role in the whole scene, had a different size and inclination at each single take, fisting any sort of theory about perspective, could that be a joke that played with the absolute ass quality of the fight? Is the trashiness warping the time-space? I don’t know, but it was jarring to see, to the point that it is obvious that they noticed and didn’t even care about fixing it (And I’m talking about a static background, take it for granted that the figures of the characters are just cardboard shapes). Such fight is not an isolated case, the concept of perspective just doesn’t exist in the strange world of Jahy-sama, we get random texts that are supposedly attached to doors floating in space because they didn’t even rotate them accordingly to place them correctly, we get characters being three times their supposed size because they just copy-pasted them, is this a consequence about the destruction of the Dark Realm? I hope it is, but these preventable errors are just a sample of how negligent about anything this anime is.
Sadly, the negligence affects the comedy too. In this case I just don’t know about how the manga treats the comedy, but I suppose that the composition of it would make the experience bearable because you can fast-forward through it without dragging the intended joke, drawing your attention correctly between the panels or whatnot. Sadly, this doesn’t work in anime, you need to guide the viewer through an established time to present the punchline in a precise moment, giving them enough time to elaborate the narrative but not enough time to decipher the whole scheme. For sure, this anime gives you enough time to understand the narration, you can make a tea, do a marathon, play some Wii Sports inspired by the blatant copy of the soundtrack, 56, 24, 36, and the punchline is still waiting to be delivered. It is just unbelievable. The anime drags every single punchline to the point that I’m sure that the people who directed this are just comedy talibans, in a mission of destroying every single ounce of fun that can be generated through the apparently set of worthful ideas. Is this a consequence of the animation? I would say it is, if you drag the punchline to mental asylum levels you can play more with still frames that brings absolutely nothing to the joke, incorporate less scenery, cutting every single corner. This works sometimes because it adds suspense, or because the joke benefits from being dragged a bit longer, but most of the time the joke is the fact that we are supposed to laugh at something that can be seen from the ISS
The agonizing dumpster fire of the execution of this anime can just be saved by the interactions between the characters, which brings some remarkable points, portraying ideas about how we perceive themselves in relation to the others, how we define what is important to us, how we define the expectations of the others over us, or a simple innocent misunderstanding that allows us to perceive a touch of sincerity, with the envelope of enjoying the journey and accepting each other. Can that redeem the efforts of the talibans? No, of course not, the anime is supposed to be a comedy, the anime presents itself as a comedy, the energy is the one of a comedy, and the comedy is car bombed by the production. This anime just doesn’t work unless you want to see a loli transforming into a succubus and some random girls with huge milkers that can serve as your company before sleep. At such point of audiovisual mediocrity, why would you watch this instead of reading some quality hentai? I have some numbers, just DM

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 toseveral 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 solved with comedy and tiny plot twists that go against what Jahy expects, these can be predictable and can make some scenes a bit tiresome but is not an excessive problem (unless you have very little patience).
Overall the story can be very enjoyable if you set your expectations under the parameters of a show that sometimes has both child-like humor and aims for a family-friendly concept, or if you are like me, and you really like lighthearted shows, without stress and just being there for the ride.
Characters:
Jahy is a very likable character because of simple reasons, she isn't annoying or utterly stubborn, she learns to see the good in people and eventually shows a heart of herself, the ways in which every character affects her life is unique and in time she manges to see the larger picture of her life with them as something good.
I'm not going to spoil any of the other characters personalities but is enough to say that each complements the show positively, the show actually found restraint to reutilize many jokes that at first you might feel will be overused to death, and instead it tries hard enough and succeeds to an acceptable level to create character development situations. Thus, creating enough growth to move the plot a little bit fordward but greatly improving the relationships Jahy has with everyone, improving the overall enjoyability of the show.
Art-Openings-Endings-sound design.
Nothing here is exceptional, but enought effort went into each of these parts to make them feel appropiate to the vision of the show and it's direction. Both openings and both endings set correct expectations and tone, not overselling but not underselling either. The character design is fun, and not too generic, I personally loved the design of the Landlord, Jahy herself and the last character revealed near the end (NO SPOILERS). Despite early concerns to Jahy's outfit I found relief to see that she was never sexualized, nor were the rest of the characters, and I loved that fact. The animation holds up untill the end, so there was no budget drops there, in my opinion the visual experience was very smooth and enjoyable.
SUMMARY
PROS: Enjoyable characters, good enough character development *for the tone of the series*, never drops quality.
CONS: Somewhat predictible puns and jokes and situations (never really improves quality, slightly improves enjoyability).
I personally recommend this show to people that might want to rest from heart-pumping shows, or if you want to watch something enjoyable-enough while you lunch, It's not great but it's worth giving it a chance. I do not recomment this show for people that can't stand somewhat flat humor and easy problem solving.
Rating: 7.5
Thank you for reading. (O/////Q)

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.
Re1612
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 demonlord 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 lord, adapting to human society.
Characters 7.5/10
The characters are loveable, good-natured, and silly. The voice acting brings the characters to life but the star of the show is really Jahy. What I really love about Jahy is her iconic design (in child form) which is easily recognisable and conveys the character accurately in a nutshell with real-life references. It's simple, and yet hasn't been done before as far as I know. Green crocs, and a white t-shirt with a funny motivational quote to herself. Her demon form had me raising some eyebrows and initially turned me off the show, but even with such a suggestive outfit, there is surprisingly little to no ecchi in this show so watchers can relax.
Artstyle 8/10
Great. Not much to say here.
Overall, this is a show you watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon for some laughs and good feels.

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 fine to begin with and just stayed for a little too long, leading to an overall "meh" experience.
i-like-this
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 avicious, 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 in the human world and is left as a hilarious trash person with the mind of a child who constantly gets herself into trouble by saying or doing something she can’t actually back up. Also because of her lack of mana from the mana crystals her body keeps changing into that of a literal child which doesn’t help with her job or… when she wants to be taken seriously by using threats of murder.
It takes a while for her character to develop at first and some viewers might find that irritating as the joke does tend to stale at times, but the show is never overly mean about her predicament. It does help that she is in the hands of two sisters, one her big boobed boss with a nurturing side for Jahy to fall back on whenever she screws up and the other a hot-headed landlord who Jahy refuses to pay rent to even though she can break Jahy with one arm.
It doesn’t help that Jahy’s narcissism is fuelled by other characters such as Druj her most loyal and masochistic underling in the dark realm, but is a successful business women in the human world, and Kokoro a little girl Jahy plays with because she is quite literally feeds her ego by calling her Jahy-sama.
Silver Link Studios did a great job on the art direction and animation, but the ost is what makes this show work. Like I said at the top of this review, Wii Mii Channel music is just… chefs kiss and the rest of the music is well used to heighten the comedic moments. It’s really fun to listen to.
The Great Jahy is very funny. Not the funniest or the best anime comedy I’ve seen, but I had a lot of fun watching it. The characters are charming and there’s a surprising amount of depth to its story. Judging by the show's promotional poster I was worried that there would be a lot of lewding the chibi, but I’m pleased to say that there’s none. There’s very little if any lewding of any of the characters despite how scandalous Jahy’s adult form is so if you’re prudish about ecchi content you can rest easy.
7/10 Good.

*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 isinteresting, 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 grows alongside the main character. The rest of the cast are mostly funny, but I felt like they should have been used as one-offs only, and focus should have been kept on the main trio and their relationship, since the others are far less developed and that unfortunately does not really change by the end of the season (apart from some mandatory anime "twists" which are fully foreseeable and not interesting on their own).
The main plot was only interesting for a few episodes since new elements to it are not really introduced at all. The show should have been better off almost fully concentrating on the relationships of the main character and the previously mentioned two closest supporting characters, which would have moved it into the direction of the Dragon Maid series' slice of life feels. It could also have revealed more of the MC's past with some flashbacks (something I am very angry at Dragon Maid for not doing more since those were the best episodes in Season 2). I get the feeling the writers were trying to do too much with too much characters and a boring main plot, while the components of a very nice slice of life anime was already in their hands in the beginning.
So overall it's a letdown for me, but not at all a bad anime. If you need something to go in the background or have nothing to watch in between seasons, go for it. Just don't expect anything memorable.

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.

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 potentialbut also sequel potential with the current worldbuilding. Please writer, give us more haha.

I only knew about Jahy-sama from when it was announced for it getting an adaptation, so I did not expect to be blown away or anything like that. I enjoyed watching it but it is not a show to write home about. Story: 7 The story is mostly just a set up to get the characters in comedic situations and only for that purpose you will especially notice that when you get to the end of the show, not that it is a bad thing. Jahy becomes more open and more kind while everyone else usually sticks to their given character trope and does not deviate. Art:8 Sound: 7
The art is very good especially since silver link was animating it and did a very good job with the animation. The funny faces and expressions that would be made were also well animated as expected though nothing very notable besides that. The art style overall was very cute.
As for sound the music was fitting for the scenes they used it in though I can not think of anything notable. That second intro is obnoxious but I love it for that reason so that's something. If you count voice acting as part of the sound I would say the voice acting was great and fit all of the characters but nothing remarkable.
Enjoyment and Overall: 7
For overall enjoyment I enjoyed watching it and gave me an anime to look forward to every saturday though like I said nothing particularly outstanding about it. Jahy-sama is just a good show to watch just for the sake of it though I imagine the 20 episodes instead of the average 12 or 13 will scare some people off but if you stick around and watch it all you will not feel like you waisted your time or anything.

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. Notto 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 show says it all, she will never give up her pride no matter how bad things get for her. You end up cheering her on even as you laugh at her misfortune. As the series progresses and Jahy slowly gains some of her former life back they're constantly throwing more and more bad news her way. Even when she thinks she's done something good it ends up being a major blow to her pride somehow. In the end it turns out the events of the show as a whole were all set in motion by a dumb misunderstanding.
It's got great comedy, a cast of colorful characters and plenty of heartwarming moments sprinkled in to lighten the mood when it starts getting a little too much. One of my new favorite comedies, 10/10

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 toheart, 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 of life they depict. I would watch this if you don't have anything better to watch or are looking for some cuteness here and there.

Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! I do find these days perhaps the most hyped can be somewhat disappointing to watch. The show here in itself isn't bad but totally detracts from its purpose of rebuilding into the power of family and friendship sort of show. Yes, it is a feel-good show but then it is also kind of boring at times. The art is a nice style that suits really well. I loved the dog. The sound is borderline average and the OP and ED don't excite me at all. The characters although not inherently bad are pretty dull, I honestly found Jahy to be a pretty boringcharacter in the end if I am honest.
I find overall the show is fun in its own way but is about as average as average can be. 5/10.

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 todo something and then they go in another direction, so that gives it some bonus points. Well done, SL.
I rate 8.
