COMMENTS FOR YUSIBU: I COULDN'T BECOME A HERO, SO I RELUCTANTLY DECIDED TO GET A JOB.
Similarity in both of these series, involves a main character working in a friendly work environment, as their previous task were left a drag. One particular character is a demon character, but despite being a scary one, they are basically friendly, sometimes naive, and a funny one where they interact with customers in somewhat a comical way. Also they used magic if they used it for emergencies only or fighting.
Hataraku Maou-sama! follows a demon main character who was transported in the human world, and works as a part timer. Yuushibu follows a hero character, who trains a demon daughter working at a store.
In both series, demons somehow end up in the human world and they get a job. In Hataraku Maou-sama!, it's the demon lord, while in Yuushibu, it's the daughter of the demon lord.
In both series, there are heroes who also get a job in the human world. In Hataraku Maou-sama!, there's Emilia who comes to the human world looking for the dark lord. In Yuushibu, there's Raul and his friend Airi who end up getting a job because they couldn't become heroes.
COMMENTS FOR NORAGAMI
A dark past filled with violence and terror, gods such as Maou and Yato once lived life by exerting violence among others in order to accomplish their own means. However, fast-forward to the current time, Maou and Yato both display very different personalities from their past. Now seen as lazy, frisky, playful humans who approach things very lightheartedly often to their companion's dismay.
Friendship becomes an important theme in both series as it establishes a lot of important relationships and bonds between the characters. As supernatural beings who interact with normal human beings, these series rely heavily on comedic aspects to portray the distinctive and dramatic differences between those who come from different worlds. The humor and stories are extremely refreshing in both series, and the art styles are also similar.
COMMENTS FOR BLOOD LAD
In both series, there is a main male protagonist who seems to playing the role of a leader/ruler. However, they come in contact with something new and unexpected.
There is a lot of comedy in both series. Despite the main male protagonist portrayed as being powerful, they also seems to lack common sense and often or not seems to need help with logic of the real world. Both series also seems to make fun of popular culture and has references as well. There is also action that are sometimes exaggerated. The main female character in both series are a bit different but has an awkward relationship with the mc throughout the series. On the other hand, Fuyumi (Blood Lad) and Chiho (Hataraku Maou-Sama!) has some similarities.
Both shows have demon characters who enter the human world, and who end up getting mixed up with a human girl along the way. Both of the female protagonists are similar to each other, with them being big breasted high schoolers who just happened to cross paths with a high ranking demon. Both of the demon males also have an obsession with the human world, they even share the same voice actor.
The comedy in each show is fairly similar a lot of the time, so fans of one will likely find the other enjoyable.

COMMENTS FOR DEMON KING DAIMAO
A young male with almost no power (in our world) is actually the mao, demon lord. This is something both male leading characters have in common. They also have some sort of a sidekick and a female character that likes the main character, yet tries to fight him for some reason but grows to like him over time.
Both stories also have some sort of another female love interest that hangs around but this "love interest" is more obvious in Hataraku Maou-sama!
At the start, both male, main characters have little to no "Mao-power" but this...changes without the main character trying to achieve this. What happens next is up to you to find out.

COMMENTS FOR MISS KOBAYASHI'S DRAGON MAID
While both are rather different content-wise -- Kobayashi is CGDCT where as Maou-Sama is mostly a comedy slice of life with some action and drama mixed in, both are what I like to call "reverse isekai," wherein people from a fantasy world enter our world rather than the other way around.
The thing mostly in common between the two is in that sense, and in that there tends to be a lot of humor derived from the difference in common sense between the two worlds and the characters from the fantasy world adjusting/reacting to life on Earth.
If you've watched Maou-Sama and liked that type of humor and would like more of it, Kobayashi is a good watch if you don't mind CGDCT, and if you liked Kobayashi's humor and perhaps want something a little more serious/not cutesy then Maou-Sama, likewise.

COMMENTS FOR ONE PUNCH MAN
The protagonist in both shows is extremely strong. But they don't take the responsibility seriously, and end up talking about regular stuff in the middle of a fight that's supposed to be intense (like shop sales) which leads to comedy in both shows.
If you liked the atmosphere in one show, you will most likely like the other show.

COMMENTS FOR MAOYU ~ ARCHENEMY & HERO
Contains demons from another realm inhabiting a particular region in the world and coexisting with humans. Both demons and humans alike detest each other because humans see the demons as evil beings and kill them and demons see humans as evil because they get killed without a valid reason, until they blame each other for apocryphal reasons.
Magic can be used for combat and contains an overpowered MC.

COMMENTS FOR BLUE EXORCIST
While both series have different premises, they involve the concept of a character who is not so ordinary living on Earth. At the same time, they discover more about themselves and the world around them through interactions with others.
There are supernatural elements involved in both series. Furthermore, there is action, drama, and comedy. The main male protagonist in both series has similar personalities.
Both series also involves a parallel of two worlds described metaphorically - one of humans and other of demons.
COMMENTS FOR BEELZEBUB
Both light comedies that deal with demons, where the main character is forced to adapt to a completely different lifestyle. In Hataraku, it's switching to a completely different universe or should I say time period. In Beelzebub, Oga must live with Baby Beel, and adapt a new life with him.
Both anime also involve the aspect of "taking over the worlds/humans."

COMMENTS FOR KONOSUBA: GOD'S BLESSING ON THIS WONDERFUL WORLD!
I would say that these animes have a similar feel to them. They start off very intense, more or less, and devolve into plotless comedies. Of course Hataraku Maou-sama has more of a subtle underlying plot with the ships and the aspect that he might return, but most of that isn't in the anime. The feel is similar and the comedy is similar.

COMMENTS FOR WAGNARIA!!
In both series, there's the idea of working. The environment is depicted with comedy especially with the characters involved.
The main male protagonist also seems insecure at many times regarding the setting he is in. However, he is determined to do the work he is assigned to.
There is literally humor and many jokes made throughout both series mainly related to the main male protagonist and the people he interacts with.

COMMENTS FOR AESTHETICA OF A ROGUE HERO
Both shows have a base on, what happens after the final battle.
In Hagure, you follow the hero after he defeats the dark lord and in Hataraku you follow the dark lord after being beaten.
Hagure and Hataraku both where good shows, both had a good amount of comedy in them. Hagure definitely had more ecchi. If you liked one then there is a high chance you will like the other.

COMMENTS FOR BAKA & TEST - SUMMON THE BEASTS
Hataraku Maou-sama! and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. Two anime with very strange (but hilarious) titles. How do these relate to each other? Well both main characters (Maou in Hataraku and Yoshii in Baka-Test) are both clueless when it comes to girls, or reality. They both have different reasons, but what makes them so appealing is that they are very naive and unaware of many thing that have been going around them. Another way this is similar is that it shows the differentiation of social classes. In Hataraku, Maou is stuck living in a single room in an old building, due to the fact that his only job is at MagRonald's (parody of McDonald's), while Emi (the antagonist who later turns into a protagonist), is living in a more lofty apartment, due to the fact that she has a better job. This can be seen in Baka-Test, due to the fact that Class F has nothing in it, while Class A has many, many advantages, such as private PC's, air-cons, heaters, plasma TV's, etc. Both anime show the split in social classes, which is a theme that is often used in other anime, but not as ridiculously used as this. Both of these anime have very unique plots, and they both include the use of some form of fighting mechanism (magic in Hataraku, shoukanjuu in Baka-Test).

COMMENTS FOR SQUID GIRL
Fun? Comedy? Working? Both of these shows has them.
In fact, Hataraku Maou-sama! and Shinryaku! Ika Musume presents a working environment for viewers that can be seen as humorous with a balance of realism and supernatural theme mixed in.
The main female protagonist in both series also has an ambition to "take over the world and conquer it all".
Both series are quite lighthearted and makes fun of characters who are not so normal.

COMMENTS FOR GABRIEL DROPOUT
Angels and devils forced into a slice of life situation fighting among each other with a hint of role reversal, although both sides end up just being friends that secretly hate each other. Both have a lot of comedy but Maou sama has a bit more story and character focus (doesn't always work but it's good) while Gabriel was made for laughs and a few of common trope characters everyone loves.
