| Chi-chan looking delicious in that swimsuit. |
 |
| For being a fan service episode it was pretty good. Lucifer ordering "Devil's Souls" off of amazon(jungle) was funny. I still don't like Chi-chan... |
Samurai_Zero said: 3 episodes left and still very little development after the Lucifer incident was resolved... I love this show but man... Please don't waste the potential! This show is about 60% daily life and 40% devil related action. The next three episodes will resolve the events with "James" and probably finish the season with that umbrella scene that everybody mentions. |
 |
| Lucifer faceplanting because he lost his leg strength from bummin on the pc was hilarious, i tell you this man needs more screentime! The monkey thing was good too, especially Emi's troll face after Maou blew up on them. Looking more like Maou's manager is involved, picking him to help out at a place with the scariest haunted house in Japan, where he can harvest tons of magic from all the fear. Seems she may be trying to urge him back into his old ways. Also making the case of her being the convenience store culprit more likely, of course she'd want to get rid of Emi. Also, this may just be speculation, but her turning down Chiho's request to help could also be telling, since if she is associated with Enta Isle and wants Maou to return to power, she'd probably see Chiho as a threat to make him content with his current life.

Just because you aren't laughing doesn't mean the quality of the humor is low and everyone who laughs at it just "laughs too easily"..don't be a patronizing prick. |

| get out of gate, TRUEEEE SKYYYY special one-pounders, boingggg! aa, okaasan! Sadaozaru ni naritai Fushima Park MgR manager <3 CRAP, i can't put any STR into my legs LOOOL |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| No anime is complete without the swimsuits. XP Emilia's face was the greatest thing. And the ending was one of the funniest thus far. Poor Ashiya. |
 |
| Yay for Maou using his powers, and the end there explains who attacked Emi ,and why they could seal her holy power given i wonder how she'd take it if she found out that it was a Tenshi seeing as them attacking her would mean they see her as Maou's allied. |
| HAHAHA that haunted house scene was funny and Emi's face when she realized how big Chi-chan's boobs were, priceless |
symbv said: Epic  Owch Emi just got totally defeated. I did not know she was that big. |
 |
| Haha guess no one caught the reference of lucifer buying Devil souls aka Dark Souls online! okay episode even though we knew it James is indeed the attacker |

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
Takuan_Soho said: Marow said: Well, I guess this episode was okay. But it was just... random. Nothing really happened. As I recently wrote in a blog post, Hataraku Maou-sama is overstaying its welcome. What do you think? What do I think? That you are an idiot? That you completely miss anything that doesn't go "boom" right in front of your face? That you are incapable of critiquing anything, that your blog posting is as illuminating as Oprah Winfrey interviewing Lance Armstrong, as interesting as watching paint dry in Siberia in the dead of winter. Nothing happened? You mean outside of knowing what the MC is actually thinking (btw, you realize that Maou isn't the MC in this season don't you? I guess you might have missed the hint that occurs in nearly every single episode title). The balanced misunderstanding between Emi, Chiho, and Shizuno. The perfect "fish out of water" concept of having people who survived the horrors of their world being scared to death because our horrors weren't their horrors. That the gods who Shizuno worships have descended down to earth and have issued her a warning that she was straying from the proper path (though I wonder how well this concept will be developed, the Japanese have a hard time really understanding monotheism and how fanatical people can become over it). On top to that nice comedy, enjoyable fanservice, classic facial expressions, the distinct possibility that most of McRonalds store managers know exactly who Maou is, a little Okinawan ribbing, as well Emi's deliberate taunting of Maou and extremely satisfied look when it worked, as well as her concern about Shizuno, and the hint that Emi knows more than she is letting on. I mean I guess if you overlook all that, then maybe you are right that nothing much happened. You are completely deluding yourself if you think this episode was anything more than fanservice with the main plot put aside with minor details.. When there is 3 more episodes left in anime you don't waste time with subtlety. From the looks of it the next episode is more of the same with a little bit more main plot. Even that looks like it will be shown through flashbacks. There is no denying that the quality of the anime shown in the first few episodes to the quality now has dropped significantly. symbv said: keeenu060 said: Time to give up watching this kind of midnight anime I guess.

| It was alright for a fanservice episode. But at the end, James turns into an angel. Are Angels the bad guys? It seems to me like Emi and Suzuno are going to have to join forces with Maou against the church. What do you guys think? |
| maou fuckocus how can you be so dense.. this anime never fail to amuse me.. chiho and emi are the best.. |
 |
| You gotta love Maou when he gets into Demon Mode. |
 |
| Holy Shit!!! Chi-chan and her melons! (If you know what I mean ;] ) Looks like James really is from Ente Isle, not that it wasn't obvious enough. |

So far I have yet to see a "fan-service episode" in PreCure that I am watching for example. I can't think of a shounen or shoujo kids show that doesn't have a fan-service episode |

 |
| Just as I expected. They will only use the first two volumes to their full extent avoiding vol 3 because massive spoiler. I'm actually okay with this though despite it feels slow and filler-ish. Damn I really hope there is a season 2 for this since it's doing well in the preorder rankings |

 This Killed me LMAO. Other than that OK episode, not enough Ashiya. |

| Fuck yeah Chiho and her mountains are very pretty sceneries. |
 |
| Okay, I knew the swimsuits were coming. I knew they were going to make bust comparison jokes. Even knowing the obvious was coming, I nearly erupted when I saw Emi's initial reaction (face), and still had to pause to catch my breath after the "two special one pounders." I also now have a sudden craving for burger . . . And seriously, I so want to go to a haunted house like that. Maybe I should show it to one of the more gung-ho local groups as an example. After a horrible day at work (you don't want to know), this show can really be a breath of fresh air. |
| What are those... breasts. And why do I want to touch them. |
| Never would've thought that James (probably) is an angel |
 |
| Emi's reaction. I seem to notice that I can't get enough of it x D. Especially when she saw Chi-chan's melons. That haunted house...lol. Pretty well made, damn. Somewhat surprised that James was an angel...though he had eyes like Maou, Ashiya, & Urushihara? Poor Ashiya..though that last scene was LOL. HollowStark said:  ^Laughed when I saw this, haha. DnS & DkS ftw. Soon, DkS2 too. |

 Says it all lol |
| MgBurgers > MgTunas Funny episode but the plot is dragging a bit |
 |
| That's one bold monkey. Also what's in the box? |
Spiffy said: Am I the only one flabbergasted as to how underwhelming everything has been since episode 6? Next is James, then season 2 (when and if it comes) will really pick it up. |
|
| Great episode again ^^ wow, that haunted house looked excellent, imagine the work it took. Well done. Ah, I'm so glad Emilia and Chiho got something different for Suzuno. I guess this series likes to end its episodes with comedy, haha. To be honest, I would rather have just seen this as a slice-of-life/comedy series purely, rather than have action with enemies from the other world. The comedy in this is great, and I love the characters. Wow, only 3 more episodes D= |
 |
| that badass moment where everything/body is monochrome and running one way while maou is the opposite and everything is in slowmo... someone's gonna gif it and put it on tumblr. if i check now, it's probably going to be there. |
Raniero said: Whoa. James....  Also. Glad to see Maou's powers back for a moment. The SFC guy, nothing surprising about him just need to know who he is and what does he wants |
 |
| LMAO @ Special One-Pounders and MgBurgers to describe Chiho and Emilia's breasts. xD The haunted mansion scene was actually legit scary lol. I really like Chiho and Emilia are both scared of lizards due to their past experiences but their reasons are extremly different. Suzuno is such a great character; the more emotionless type girl but it's really smart. That badass theme song that played when Maou was telling the crocodiles to go back was so awesome. Team Rocket James aka Mitsuki Sarue is an angel?! Didn't see that coming! Haha, Ashiya was constipated and suffering from diarrhoea the entire time. Great episode overall. :) |
 |
| Hahaha. I knew the swimsuits gonna come. At first I was not that pleased like "Oh here we go for fan service" but the horror in the haunted house, the lizard back stories, and damn, that badass song and that badass moments in monochrome win me over in this episode. Chi's bust must be J cup. LOL @ Emi's reaction. I've been looking forward to James' story. It seems it's gonna be next and that's good. |
Fushimaen is definitely a parody of the famous water theme park in urban Tokyo, Toshimaen. I even recognize the entrance where Chi-chan wait for Yuusha and Udon-chan! And same as in the anime, the train station is right in front of the front gate of the theme park.  http://www.toshimaen.co.jp/ |

| Well at least there's one Sadao that wants to bury his face in Chi-chans melons. Sadly, the Sadao Chi-chan wants can't even be bothered to even look at them. |
| The show is still lots of fun and all the characters are lovable, but I feel that our devil partners Maou and Ashiya are being put as side characters in their own show. Also Urushihara, who was once a great threat, never leaves his seat in front of the PC, to the point where his legs get numb. They do have the intention to process towards their goal but easily fall short because of everyday life, job and acute stomach ache. The conclusion of this episode was: "So did you manage to harvest some magic energy today?" "Nah, I ended up using what I had left" "Hmm whatever" The girls however, get lot of screen time and provide the romance aspect, which our male characters really don't care for at all. Maou is still the center of the universe in this show, though I get is a much better insight in Emi and Chiho's character and judging from the preview we'll get more of Suzuno. With this pace I'm not expecting great development in the last tree episodes. Since this show will cover the two first light novels out of eight (currently) there's still a lot of story to adapt, so there's hope for second season or translation of the novels. |
