Beelzebub has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Midnight Pulp. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Miyuki Sawashiro — stay for everyone else around them. Put it on tonight on Crunchyroll and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Beelzebub earns its spot. Beelzebub does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Violent delinquent Oga encounters a baby one day, which crawls onto his back and immediately forms an attachment to him. Though he doesn't know it yet, this baby is named Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, or "Baby Beel" for short—the son of the Demon Lord! Miyuki Sawashiro and Katsuyuki Konishi lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It first aired in 2011–2012. Beelzebub earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Beelzebub is a strong candidate. Fans of Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai will recognise the sensibility here immediately. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Miyuki Sawashiro anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
