The real opening is out. It was quite an action packed episode. Lucifer was nuts. As expected of a Demon Lord, Maou got some uber power. Seems like they made peace with Lucifer, he probably gonna live with Maou now.

This episode was great but I don't want the Demon lord and the Hero to get friendly and why didn't Emi go back with her friends.

Man I sure love a show that does such a great job mixing comedy and action/seriousness like this. Win-Win!

Most of this felt like it was the last episode.

So far this show has been stellar for me, let's hope it stays that way.
White Fox doesn't disappoint and the animation here was fantastic.

All of these characters make me laugh. GAR Maou being OP and a nice guy, Ashiya is still hilarious (that one part where he tells Maou not to forget to use the discounts was also funny). Lucifer talked so much and he didn't even stand a chance ahahaha.

This episode was sick omg the fighting and I'm in love with the OP <3

All the Lucifer fighting and Chiho discovering their secrets, Maou you're so cool ^.^ I laughed so hard when he put down the overpass and was like "AHH that was so heavy! But now I'm the good guy!" or something like that... I was laughing sooo hard :P

I hope something like, Emi x Maou will happen that will be the icing on the cake of an awesome show :3 throw in the unexpected romance :P but I doubt it... because what about Chiho?

Anyways, this episode was a total 10/10 ^.^ Next episode: Maou goes to school? :D

Everything about this show is awesome. Although I hear that the LN isn't as good from now on. But I refuse to believe it until I see it. This has been so fun thus far that I can't imagine it'll just start sucking all of a sudden.

Okay, after this excelent episode 5 we all can pretty much agree that this Season highligts (in no particular order) are:

Shingeki no Kyojin
Flowers of Evil
Gargantia
Hataraku Maou-sama


I can't remember the last time we had such a good bach of anime.

As expected, Lucifer will be now joining the mischievous Dark Lord and his demon generals. Surely this will add more comedy to this series.

Also the fight was great and satisfying. I wonder if the two brought the high priest back to Ente isla.

This is such an entertaining anime! As everyone has already pointed out, it's doing a great job to balance both action and comedy.

So Emi did have enough power to kill Maou the whole time but didn't. She's probably going to end up forgiving him after seeing him act the way he does now on Earth. Maou is such a great MC. His interactions with everyone are so fun to watch. I hope they keep up what we've seen so far. Next ep looks a little more slice of life-y (yes I just made up a word) which is fine but I hope it stays fun. Looking forward to next week

5 episodes in and still going strong, another great episode with all the bells and whistles I have come to appreciate from this show. At least Chiho knows the truth now, and going to school next week, too good... Maybe they will all go back and put down the church some day...

That was a pretty fucking great episode.
Just went from our simple times to some pretty epic fighting and some more great progression on the characters' part. Maou has really changed compared to the 'Evil Dark Lord' he was supposed to be in the beginning.

The little comedy here and there with the action made it great too. By the looks of the PV, Lucifer's 'punishment' is to live alongside them on Earth now so that should be quite interesting, but I wonder what they did with Oboro?

It looks like we got the hatred of Emi vs Demon lord solved so now the show feels like it's going to be less action ahead. I think the action in episode 1 was way better too, because the action in this episode was a bit over the top with the magic symbols and fast attacks...

I'll be paying attention whether this show cools down because it looks like it's about to become slice of life...and forget all about that demon world stuff.

I'm scared.

Seriously scared.

I assume we will enter the second volume of the light novel starting next episode. And that's usually when light novel adaptations start declining because their overstaying their welcome.

The concept is finished. Maou-sama's story is finished.

Yes, it can still be funny as heck, but it will be nothing more than padding. This is no Keroro or Squid Girl, because Maou-sama actually cared about its story to some degree. Yes, it may be competently done, but it may just get stale.

I'm scared.

Should I just drop this and pretend it was a 2-hour movie?


I don't get what you mean. Do you mean that the source material declined in quality hard or what?


You all of little faith. First, most first light novels that decline are good are good because of settings, this series is far more than settings, it literally has it all: humor, drama, even a little pathos. That takes talent, and talent doesn't just "disappear".

Second, what makes shows good isn't action but great character interactions. Entering Lucifer into the mix will be fun, Emilia has come to grips with the first two demon lords, but this one? How this develops will be fun for several more episodes.

Third, there are 7 light novels in this series, there is plenty of material for 7 or 8 more episodes.

Fourth, there are literally 100 different directions this show can go. Haven't read or seen anything outside of this issues, but who says that these are the only two dimensions in this world. PLUS, Emilia is a half-angel, but we already know that the Church was corrupt and there is plenty of infighting going on, so what does that say about "heaven"? Not to mention, where there is a heaven there is a hell, meaning that there are other "dark lords" out there.

Emilia the angel and Maou the Demon becoming friendly, that doesn't bode well for the eternal struggle you know.

Plus (cubed), Emilia's mother is an angel, we have to question what her father really is (and if he is really dead), plus (quad) who exactly is Maou's landlord? Oh, and Chichan obviously digging the "horn".

Oh yes, easily enough to fill 10-20 light novels. And with pitch perfect comedy on top? This is going to be a fun ride.


I'm not losing faith in this series, but i just very curious on that speculation that guy gave

I think some serious conversation between hero and her friends are skipped.
hope they don't skip the scene where hero give umbrella back to maou...as far as i know volume 2 is as good as volume 1 so there won't be a decline in quality.
There will still be story, comedy, actions and even a bit of romance.
I wonder if they are going to animated up to v3 or just 2 volume.

Another great episode, tho Chiho is slowly starting to get on my nerves, I really dislike this type of characters.
Apart from that very enjoyable to watch, I'm interested to see more of Lucifer, however it's hard for me to imagine Emi being all fine and cool with it (you know, all this burning her village and killing her father stuff), welp, time to spend yet another week in anticipation.

this show is nearing one of my favorites of the season hasn't had a weak episode yet and i'm still enjoying the hell out of it the time goes by to fast watching this!.

was nice to see a proper OP

said it before but this show just balances all it's genres really good was slightly worried about how the fighting would go but they took out their budget to make for some nice animations

curious to where this goes now this kinda felt the end.
