AllTJAck said: They stuck true to the source material, because that's only how far the novel has gone, it's a bit of a shame since there is so much to expand on, and so many unexplored plots. Damn hell the HERO is SO OP!!!! The anime only covers the frist 2 out of 5 light novels, there's also 3 other novels which basically goes in death about how the hero meets the 3 other heroes and there backstories.. |
| Well, leading up to this episode I had wondered how they would manage to wrap everything up. It turns out the answer was pretty simple - they didn't. |

| The ending wasn't that good and kinda abrupt!! Still, I want a 2nd season. |
| Signature |
| Overall, a pretty average anime. Didn't like the characters much. Don't know if I would watch season 2 if one were made. 6/10 |
| Story: 3/10 Art: 7/10 Sound: 7/10 Characters: 1/10 (Personally, I would call this generous) I don't really need to say more. |
| Honestly, I thought it was great, but these last two episodes had the worst pacing I have ever seen. They felt they were rushed at ludicrous speed. In the end I enjoyed it and would welcome a second season. |
 |
| The only way to answer S2 questions is to figure out how much of the LN was adapted into these 12 episodes. Half of it or all of it. I'm guessing it is more so the latter. The ending did not leave me with the impression that more of this show could be coming. It was fairly conclusive in that we know what the end goal is and it will take time to achieve it. They will suffer more of same hardships they have already faced. Idk. It was a really interesting idea that kinda feels a little washed out by the end. A lot was going on all the time. Easy to follow but a lot of different angles were being worked. I felt like "we only have 12 episodes, we need to get all this shit in there!". Interesting story so that I give it props for but it didn't really deliver across the board. 7/10. |
| Hope to hear the news of season 2 soon...was an awesome anime . |
| started good but pacing was to slow so it became boring 5/10 |
Uncanny said: Disappointing ending. It seemed to imply that there would be a second season, and I sincerely hope so, because the ending was really weak. But I really think that the socio-politicial/historical themes made this anime really interesting. The people who thought this anime was poor must either not be very well versed in the history of Europe, or they just don't find history/political/religious struggles interesting. There are a lot of underlying themes to this anime that people cannot understand right off the bat, if they do not know or appreciate basis for a lot of the storyline. The main reason Maoyuu turned out bad is because of the pacing. It was laughably non-existent. Don't get me wrong, I genuinely enjoy the enriching history of medieval Europe and such, but a one cour does absolutely no justice for a show that tried touching a topic like economics amongst the other stuff you mentioned. Quite frankly the characters I remotely liked was the Young Merchant. From the few episodes he was focused on, I was very interested in what he did and it's a shame he wasn't fleshed out more as the anime progressed. That being said, it was difficult deciding what to rate Maoyuu for a while. At times like these I wish MAL had decimal ratings, but since that isn't possible I've decided to give it a high 5, low 6 in the form of a 6/10. |

| i hope for a season 2 |
| really that was the ending very poor if you ask me 7/10. |
 |
| I liked this, but some of the anime recently have been giving a lot of cliff hangars.. Either way looks like a season 2 to me, that ending did not suffice one bit. But I still liked the series, 8/10. |
 |
| The ending was so baaad :( |
-Fuji- said: Hope there is another season I hope too |
 |
| what is with that ending i can't even call that an ending what the fuck |
| Given they have barely reached Kuriltai after 1-cour, I can see why fans of the LN said it needs at least four cours to tell the whole story because they have animated just 1 volume out of the whole 5 volumes (not counting the spinoffs) ! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. 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. |
joshlul said: what is with that ending i can't even call that an ending what the fuck Words said of a person who knows what they are talking about... What the fuck was that. I loved the art of this anime... That's about it. I wish I could say more because I really, really, really wanted to like this show. The fact that they sped through every episode in full fuckin' force ruined it. This story was all over the place. The characters were all over the place. The romance which I thought was going to be there wasn't. Just wtf. I have to lower my score and I never do this... /rant |
| It was really interesting at first and then I just kind of got bored because it was literally the same thing again and again. The only other thing that stuck out was the 'I am Human' speech by the Maid. It was alright, but I was literally checking the time every five minutes. 6/10 because I was letdown by this anime. I really did enjoy it at first though. :/ Plus the horrible ending and the horribly written romance. |
| The way it ended makes me think it may have a S2 and go past the manga's end. Which is set to have a "aftermath" chapter in a couple of months I think. |
| Pretty open ending to this. Maybe a second season? Overall an enjoyable but not overly special series. It had it's moments. 7/10. |
 |
| after watching this .I am in love with MAGE!..3 personalities are awesome. It was a nice series..Not the best but still good..8/10 |
 |
| This could have been better and a little less confusing. |
 |
| So it ended with them having the solution... but just not implemented yet. It was quite a decent series. 7/10 for me. |

| Even though I really liked this show it still feels like I read every second-third page of a book. And stopped at the end of chapter one. |
| Thats the ending? i knew it i feel that they add more questions in the last episode so i was thinking how it will end but it wasnt a good ending couldve been better to make it 13 episodes |
 |
| The end gave me the feeling that there will be a second season. |
| I enjoyed this anime quite a bit but i feel the adaption team rushed the series which is a real shame because as others have said it had a lot of potential. The series needed more character development overall and especially between the demon king and hero as their relationship is hardly enough to glue the series together. From what I've heard it would take 60 episodes to adapt the whole series but even with that it would be butchered and really pushing it, so as i said around episode 4 or 5 this definitively needed a 2 cour adaption as a first season but we'll just have to see how they take it from here. 7/10 overall but a thoroughly enjoyable series that i hope sells well. |

UtsukushiiYume said: 6/10 because I was letdown by this anime. I really did enjoy it at first though. :/ Plus the horrible ending and the horribly written romance. Shitty ending and shitty romance. Corrected. For people who are hoping that it sells well and gets second season, sorry, I sure don't see it coming true. |
| I expected to see over the mountain in the final episode, but instead was given a lead into an unconfirmed second season. The romance was forced and the pacing was just silly. This series got a 6 from me, in that it was just above average but it definitely wasn't anything particularly memorable. Just what you'd expect from a winter anime. |
| Lackluster ending... Things just didn't conclude very well... But enjoyed the series..... Need a second season.... Final ep. - 3/5 Series - 7/10 |
 |
| And Yuusha and Mao didn't even kiss yet. *sigh* |
| Overrated. 7/10 from me and thats even too high somewhat. Whatever, next. |
twonline said: Lackluster ending... Things just didn't conclude very well... But enjoyed the series..... Need a second season.... Final ep. - 3/5 Series - 7/10 Agreed. They should have aimed at 24 episodes instead of this few. They could have expanded on A LOT of things to make the general story better. |
 |
| I really do like the series. The importance of education. The development of liberalism. The social structure and control. The foundation of cities and wealth. The meaninglessness of war. Not quite what I expected when I first come in, but in return, I get something much better. Despite the very limited funding on animation, it manage to tell a good enough story. 7/10 |

symbv said: LOL at this scene at ending credit Boobs, chicken and wine. What more could you honestly want? |
| This is clearly just the first part of the series. They cannot leave it there. They've set up the world, the characters and the conditions. They can really do a much better second part if they focus on the story and leave most of the thematic stuff aside. I hope they make it hapen. LOL'ed at the plasma annihilator moment. |

| Nothing much happened, but it's probably the first part of the series. Hopefully there will be more as there's much left to be done. |

| Open Ending!!! There are still many things to conclude and so many things to be solved and discussed so I'm hoping for a second season. Art: 9/10 Story: 8/10 Characters: 8/10 Music: 8/10 Overall Rating: 8 Overall the series was decent enough to be entertaining but some scenes were very open to the point where it didn't make much sense. We also need more character development with some like the Onna Mahoutsukai and some others. The MOST thing I was constantly thinking of was that I thought I was watching a sequel or something (felt like a second season instead of a first) as the characters seemed as if the audience had some foreknowledge about them. Initially I researched thinking that I accidentally started a second season to something but instead found out that this was the first season which felt a bit strange as I was watching this series. Nevertheless, the concept of the story especially the economics really interested me and felt like I was watching Spice & Wolf with the similar styles. Looking forward to the Second Season if it does get produced as so many things are not finished and the story wouldn't make sense if it finishes at this point so hoping for a potential sequel!! Episode Rating: 4/5 |
