Honestly Devil is a part-timer was pretty bad. It opens on the main characters minions brutally murdering innocent civilians and then expects us to instantly switch over to finding him charming and hilarious with no actual justification or heel turn. His personality just does a total 180 when he turns human for no reason, eliminating the actual premise of the show (he barely ever acts like a devil) and he becomes honestly pretty boring. The other interesting aspect of him having to figure out how the world works is almost entirely skipped and hes instantly a model worker after a timeskip. Also the main heroine is a stock tsundere who quickly falls for him in spite of his minions slaughtering her father on top of all the other massacres he's responsible for, which the show never has the balls to address and undercuts every aspect of the show.

Pop Team Epic backstory is hosed up.

There's really no meaning in making beetles fight.
the pop team epics are basically evil looney toons. Very dangerous trickster gods stay away and contact the authorities

A strong showing. I'd also add Nichijou and maybe Konosuba to my top 5 list.

I’m surprised they just let them put Nanachi in the show. I thought there were rules against that sorta thing.

They have the same publisher so it's 100% on the up and up.

I'm also going to have to start looking for a Wiki or something so I know all the gags they change in the B Part, aren't I?

It's the same as the "Poptepic is poo poo" running joke.

i mean some of the specific jokes made at takeshobo's expense do feel like they come from a place of real but minor frustration (e.g. delayed/half-assed volume releases) or at least experience at the company, but the relationship is obviously good enough for the comic to have survived this long and gotten an anime.

The long and short of it is Takeshobo delayed the TPB release for a long time, and then cancelled the strip altogether before the book came out, only for it to be brought back due to strong sales.

My wife said it's like an Anime Robot Chicken and I think I agree. Obviously not a perfect comparison but the pace feels similar and the pop culture references and recurring jokes and meta humor. Also WarioWare.
