FUNimation has hit the third and final day for revealing the English language cast for their adaptation of The Devil is a Part-Timer!.

The home video release for the thirteen episode series on DVD/Blu-ray comb is set for July 22nd, 2014 priced at $69.98 for the limited edition. The show comes with a pair of commentary tracks and an English language original behind the scenes piece with Jamie Marchi. There will also be the clean versions of the opening and closing sequences.
The series is directed by Christopher Bevins based on script adaptations by Jamie Marchi and stars Josh Grelle, Alex Moore and Suzuno Kamazuki, Aaron Dismuke as Hanzo Urushihara and Anthony Bowling as Shiro AShiya, Felecia Angelle as Emi Yusa and Tia Ballard as Chiho Sasaski.
Plot concept: When Satan is run out of his infernal kingdom, he finds himself virtually powerless in modern-day Tokyo. Stuck in a feeble mortal body and desperate for cash, there’s only one way for the dark lord to survive: by getting a job manning the deep fryer at “MgRonald”!
As Satan flips burgers and tries to regain his evil magic, he’s pestered by a righteous hero who tracked him to Earth, a video-game-loving fallen angel looking for a way back into heaven, and the most unholy of enemies: a rival fast food franchise. Will he figure out a way to reclaim his homeland and throne? And if not, will this demonic burger king at least sell enough featured menu items to be promoted to shift supervisor?
