Amazing, when this show wants to be funny it's DAMN funny. When it wants to be serious it's damn interesting as well. If there any doubt that this is the best of the season?

I love the way this story is progressing. I hope it keeps up like this. None of the characters have become annoying to me. I get my laughs and a couple of nail biting moments. Easily one of my favorite anime this season.

He was introduced briefly during the first episode along with the other 3 of Maou's generals (Adramelech, Lucifer, Alsiel, Malacoda).

This anime is really going downhill with every episode, sadly will probably turn out nothing than a show that pretends to be something more than just a romance, but is written too dumb to be it. Meh.

Nice little bit of back story on Emilia there. She was really about to burst after Maou's 'apology'. Poor Chi-chan walking in on them. I wonder if she'll ever get a chance.

And now Lucifer shows up to mutiny against Maou!

Uhmmmm...

The first half of ep was abit boring with emi's friend, but well was able to know abit more about her, as always maou and his loyal servant are super funny. That miki-T surely come from the other world, or at least knows alot she's really mysterious.

Luciper appears, oh well ... that also tricks me, i mean it's hard to believe a Dark Lord in so short of time become too kind and nicely to everyone, rlly soft and different.. but it's ok let's see what will happen with him and his generals. Obvsly there is alot to be discovered so expecting to next episodes.

Now comes the worst part, wait until next week >.> ...

Chihan is cute lol. Even if Mao and Emi unites against a common enemy I'm just gonna guess that temporary peace isn't going to last.

So many new characters, looking forward to whats coming next. Its will be interesting to see if lucifer will be a bad guy or become their friends, he kinda looks like a bad guy but i could see him being an ok character.


Unlike Maou, he is actually confirmed to have done atrocities. Emilia's father was killed by his legions after all.
In other words, somehow I think he'll be the plot-device to apologize Maou.

This is quite weird, by the bible Lucifer is the "Dark Lord" he's the boss of darkness

but here seems like they splitted it up, and create 2 characters. But well that doesn't rlly matters right ? I just hope to see some nice funny scenes mixed up with fight, but i'm not sure they will put such intensity on this fight for now.

Pacing for this show is great. It's a bit conventional that shet-gets-real butts in each time any attempt at dialogue resolution surfaces, but this keeps everything fresh. It's hard not to succumb to spoiling the plot for myself each week!

Also, Asriel for character of the year.

Solid 10/10 after this episode now.
What this show missed till now was more support characters to get relevant and a deeper story.
Its got everything now.
Best show of the season for me.
As it is now, maybe only the Titans could beat it.

What I really like about Maousama is how it mixes comedy and drama and can switch between the two of them like its nothing. I've seen other comedies try this but few have been as successful as this show. While it might not work for other people and I can see why, it clicks for me at least



Couldn't agree more ^^ It definitely has a good mix of comedy and drama that is executed very well. I laughed so hard at Ashiya in the beginning when he had more mental trauma for not being of help to Maou haha. I like how they are delving more into the conflict between Maou and Emi. We obviously know that Emi wants to kill Maou because of all the "bad" things he did to the humans in the other world, but now we kind of get a glimpse at Maou's motivation for the war. Though we still don't really know anything, at least we know that he didn't do it just to be evil, he really had no understanding of humans back then. After all, now he did all he could to save people. Wow Lucifer. This is getting really interesting!

Gotta love at Ashiya's logic... "Hey Chiho, wanna come over? Your lover and rival are both back at the apartment by themselves in private ,but don't worry, it'll be fun!"

Haha anyhoo, I'm loving the way this anime is turning out and the way it transitions atmospheres/genres. Though I wonder why they weren't more suspicious about the landlady...?

Ooookay... Well, that's kind of lame, the Dark Lord really wasn't evil after all? And it was all Lucifer, the one who harmed Emi?

But the episode is great! This, from all the romcoms I have seen, could stand in the upper spots! its actually enjoyable and the initial premise hasn't been badly done, and there are new characters introduce.

1. the space time emotionless girl
2. the big guy, is that Emi's father?
3. Lucifer! pretty cool looking guy

The Anime skips some dialog here and there (probably because they want to end right at Lucifer part) and some are quite important or at least make things easier to understand so I would suggest people taking a quick the Manga version of this ep.

This is probably one of the best animes this season along side shingeki no kyojin. Keeps getting better after every episode, and washes my mouth clean after the bad taste I get from other animes. Such as the new episode of devil survivor.. dafuq was that...

But I'm interested to see the new characters come to play, and would like to know a bit more behind emi and maou is past. I still don't understand how the dark lord satan can be so sympathetic :P

Looks like Lucifer wants to overthrow Satan/Maou (maybe going along with Christian mythology about how Lucifer wanted to overthrow God).

Great episode, but I am a little irritated at how much of a "nice guy" Maou is. He's the freaking DARK OVERLORD, would spending a few months in the human world change him so much?

It was explained a bit better in the Manga (this very same ep): Maou was very busy at time and can't control all of his demons. Then there is the natural hatred between humans and demons, Maou also didn't understand the concept of human because he has never been in their positions like now. Will probably explained more later I guess.

I was about to ask the same thing, so thanks for putting that into perspective.


Any who, good episode I guess. I don't understand how his great general Lucifer can use so much of his power easily, but the demon lord himself said he had such little remaining himself.. I do look forward to seeing how all this plays out though..

So Emi is actually a Nephilim........sweet she's awesome !
Damn i think Emi might have killed Maou if Chiho and Aisha didn't show up. Anway 5/5 out of this ep. Liking Emi more and more since Chiho instantly won me over. It's getting harder to choose now but im get a feeling we dont have to.

I knew someone who named Lucifer won't be a minor character. I wonder how he managed to somewhat retain his power in the human world.

Maou doesn't seems to evil, he just doesn't understand human to me.

Lucifer in the otherhand may be the true evil.
