The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Dispatched to Earth on a desperate mission, demon Masatora Akutsu must infiltrate a Japanese high school and recruit a powerful human to turn the tide in Hell's losing war against Heaven. He enrolls as a transfer student, scopes out his classmates, and quickly zeroes in on Lily Amane, beautiful, charming, seemingly the perfect candidate. There's just one problem. Lily is actually an angel working undercover with her own plans, and now these two supernatural enemies are stuck sitting next to each other in class, each trying to manipulate the other while pretending to be normal teenagers. What follows is a 12-episode TV series of back-and-forth mind games that keep dissolving into comedy because neither of them can stay focused when the other is involved. The dynamic between Masatora and Lily is the whole engine here: he's genuinely flustered by her, she's not above using that, and the romantic tension builds in ways that feel natural even with all the angel-demon nonsense happening around them. If you liked the supernatural comedy of Gabriel DropOut or the fish-out-of-water charm of The Devil Is a Part-Timer, this scratches a similar itch but leans harder into the romance. It also shares some DNA with High School DxD's premise, though the tone is lighter and more playful than fanservice-heavy. Based on a seinen manga, it's a relaxed watch, nothing groundbreaking, but the character chemistry carries it pretty easily through a single cour.

Hits hard as the series begins to explore the weight of Akutsu and Lily’s conflicting identities. The comedic veneer fades, replaced by a tense, emotional exploration of the sacrifices required for their forbidden bond.
A serious showdown brings everything together for Akutsu and Amane as they stand and fight side by side. Obviously a must watch for a closing of the story with a strong and heartfelt payout. (Season 2 when?)
What once felt like a game of emotions becomes harder to control for Akutsu and Amane. Opposition rises as outside forces close in, adding stakes that proves their relationship throughout is genuine and strong.
The anime starts to show the problems our main characters have to face. We get to see how the two’s relationship endures and seek each other’s presence in these daring times. Must watch.
Akutsu and Amane begin treating love as a challenge, each trying to make the other fall first (felt like I’ve heard that before). They continue to show their rom-com energy, a good episode for a slow and natural build in their relationship.
Jealousy begins to affect the group, adding tension between Amane and Yuka. Stronger emotions come through clearly in the voice acting. You may skip if not too interested with other characters.
Amane and Akutsu relationship starts to feel less like enemies and more like something deeper. The softer dialogue shows this change, watch to see how they began softening for each other.
This episode mixes something slightly different, a scary vision and sudden action. The tone shifts, keeping things unpredictable but without feeling too heavy.
For those who enjoy silly and demanding scenes, this episode delivers a funny chase. The animation exaggerates reactions nicely and shows the character’s banters with perfection. We get to see more hints of Akutsu’s inner thoughts this episode.

New characters introduced along with their story. The tone stays light and focused on interactions, making this a good watch if you prefer slower, character-driven moments.
Amane continues to try and control Akutsu while he tries to push back in small ways, creating a strange but entertaining setup. Their playful yet tense dialogue stands out, which you’ll enjoy if you like strong character clashes.
A great start for anime watchers who enjoy sudden plot twists. Akutsu, the demon, arrives on a mission, but Amane reveals she’s an angel and somewhat gain control on him. The tone mixes comedy and surprise, and the animation makes the moment hit well.
This episode had everything coming together, but it could have been better. For a finale, it felt a bit mid and lacked impact. The emotional and romantic moments were there, and her brother’s support was nice, but still, it was good for what it was.
This episode was really intense and exciting. The energy was high throughout, and everything was shown really well. The fights, action, and emotions all hit perfectly. Akutsu’s anger felt dangerous, making the whole scene even more intense.
This episode was really good. The entry of Lily Amane’s brother felt intense, and the fight was well shown. It also highlighted how much Lily and Akutsu care for each other, which made it quite emotional. A strong and engaging episode.
Lily Amane’s avatar coming out and showing its true nature was really interesting and done well. There were some genuinely funny moments too. Akutsu slowly understanding her feelings added emotion. Overall, a really good episode, the anime is doing great.
The beginning was really funny and had some genuinely fun moments. The spying part was also funny, the way it was shown made it even better. Akutsu’s confession felt emotional, and that ending really feels like something different is about to happen next.
This episode was really good overall. It felt a bit slow at times, but the emotions shown through Lily Amane were beautiful, revealing her kind and genuine nature. The funny dream sequences added a great touch of humor and made the episode even more enjoyable.
Good episode but not that much for a season finale. It was great to see that the relationship between Lily and Akutsu has blossomed so far that they are acting like couple. Lilia's emotional and humourous parts were good to watch.
