Mania Grade: B
In Summary:
Beelzebub has a fun episode and it splits the story fairly well with the home life in the first and the school life in the second as both deal with the lack of good sleep. But it does feel like it's a gag that's drawn out just too far, one that would have been better suited to a half episode story than a full length one. The show as a whole has plenty of fun moments to it from different angles and I rather liked the school segment since so many people were just plain tired and almost apathetic, but still find the strength to try and get into a fight or two for different reasons. Beel's got some cute moments as well, but the main fun is in watching Oga being put through the wringer once again.
