At first, a really intriguing concept. Very few anime out there that deal with an unpopular girl as the protagonist who stays unpopular. But being inside the head of Kuroki gets tiresome very quickly. Apart from scant moments that are funny, the rest of the anime is either bizarre or depressing. Perhaps some people out there can relate to the character of Kuroki but the question is does one really want to do that? Did not watch past episode 7.

Anime Review: Devil is a Part-Timer
If you want to copy the storyline of Noblesse at least do a good job of it. It takes less than ten minutes of the anime for a magic-yielding devil from another world to get used to our world, and learn the language, and get a job, and become good at it. The whole charm of Noblesse was the idea of a powerful mythical being step-by-step getting used to our world and the comical situations that arise as a result which is entirely lacking in Devil is a Part-Timer. Hearing the devil and his subordinate converse in their own language grates on one's ears and sounds exactly like someone speaking a foreign language - affected and artificial instead of what it should be - grandiose and smooth befitting a magical place. Decided to definitely not watch past the first episode.
Anime Review: Red Data Girl
Fantastic music especially when Suzuhara dances but her character is not really believable. Can someone be that shy? Good storyline but a little less background story than ideal. It could do with another season.
Anime Review: Gatchaman Crowds
Alright but for the really loud and discordant background music. The ending was also unsatisfactory and not keeping with the pace of the rest of series.
