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.

Nice combination of actions and laughter. Maou and Emi are badass! Looks like Emeralda has the hot for him.

What's he's going to school? Hope Emi goes too. I wanna see her in a school uniform.

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.

This series is probably the best this whole season. Next to Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru and Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko for best anime this season. The most disappointing ones for me are Date A Live and Hayate no Gotoku Cuties...that one is absolute shit.

Well, this anime never ceases to exceed my expectations. I didn't think I would enjoy it that much considering the synopsis (I usually drop that kind of stuff), but the execution is just splendid, the timing of the joke is great, the fights are pretty cool. I don't care that much about the drama, but it's OK.

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

Hataraku Maou-sama

im with you there, i really hate these types of characters, she looks so out of place with them, looking like a primary school kid and all. (but with boobs lol)

Anyway, thats not gonna ruin the series for me, its damn awesome so far, and i really like the comedy, its not too over the top.

Minor problem with this episode, did the Emilia's sword change shape? Just Based on screens, the sword looks mighty different from the one in episode one.

The action sequence here is pretty impressive, Maou-sama is just completely badass! Looks like Lucifer will get his hands on the PC next episode, how will he afford it? End of Maou-sama's money problems? Next week just cant come soon enough.

Look at that pre-order ranking response for the BD on Amazon. I hope it isn't the most recent target for pre-order trolling (Aku no Hana was the first target that started all this trolling on Amazon), since I find this anime pretty enjoyable.

The rise seems pretty gradual though and the rise corresponds to when ep5 aired in Japan, so I don't suspect any trolling going on here. Trolling on the Aku no Hana level, would see the rank rise very steeply, and then gradually drop off in rank.

Key: Year / Month / Day / Hour / Day of the week / Hourly rank on Amazon

Oh man I fucking loved this episode, best one yet! The OP has brand new animation and it looks A LOT better; stylish. :) I cringed my teeth when Emilia skidded on the ground while trying to catch Chiho. She pretty much scrapped her leg really badly. Maou's demon transformation was so damn awesome! I laughed so hard when Emilia was trolling Maou when Maou was struggling so hard to stop the broken bridge from falling.

Emilia's sacred power transformation was also freaking awesome! I laughed even harder when Emilia deflected Lucifer's projectile and it hit Maou in the head. xD Maou was freaking badass, he beat up Lucifer so badly. Chiho must be insanely in love with Maou to stay sane throughout the entire thing. This show is seriously one of the best ones this season. I just love the balance of comedy, drama and even action. :)

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 haven't read the light novels or anything. I'm just talking from experience of many other light novel adaptations. Plus that with this episode, the concept of the series kind of came to an end. Demon and Hero decided to stay in the human world for no proper reason, despite having the ability to go back. Which... means there will either be random comedy hijinks from now on or introductions of new villains, which may grow stale. The initial story of fleeing to a new world, learning how it works and fighting a villain is over. At least that's how I feel.

I thought it was pretty clear that Sado, while still a complete megalomaniac, was no longer the Evil Overlord, and was staying as part of a "grand scheme" for peaceful conquest ... starting with a part time job. Emilia is still quite wary and is staying to keep an eye on him.

Somehow kinda felt anticlimactic, though. Well, maybe that's just because I expected more from Lucifer... though considering his AV, I should've know better.

actually i think the logic in chi-chan got pretty messed up..
chi-chans reaction to emi being together with maou in his house = so much negative feelings that lucifer gets really strong.
chi-chans reaction to watching all out fight between emi, lucifer, satan = huh? "is it a movie?" "i believe it, i just saw it myself" **blushing**..
lul.. besides i hoped for an anime where we would be sided with the bad guys for once.. those trying to break peace and create war and rule the world.. but nooooo cuz we're gunna stay in the human world and continue working as part timer and stuff like that.. the anime just lost a bit of rating from my side trolol 0.o

Even the devil will learn to be nice to human if they have the chance to discover their beauty .
This might be the theme of this Anime.This might turn out to be a simple slice of life genre just like Uchuu Kyoudai,but this anime tell us how they survive and maybe one day they might conquer the world with peace(just by working hard) LOL
