Oh, and we finally get to hear "useless meat". I'm sure the fanservice complaints will be back now though.

Just because a man travels with a woman then that means a relationship has to happen between them? Unless they got married or something...do I need rewatch the first episode?


Sure they probably want to fuck each other that doesn't mean they have to like each other.
Hero tries to avoid her advances as much as he can and so that's why the romance feels misplaced.


Don't want to compare to Spice and Wolf but everyone does it.
In Spice and Wolf Horo and Lawrence we can see how their travels bring them closer together and it felt natural.
Not a 3 month timeskip, I can fill in the gaps for myself but its not the same and she's been trying to kiss him before the skip.


Before your butts start hurting no I don't hate it and it lifts the mood.


It's just that it's almost on par with another recent romantic relationship that I can't believe anyone ever thought was good. Cookies and a pat on the back if you think you guessed it right--no need to point it out here either.

Poor Maou :(...man she's soooo cute, too bad now this part of the series starts where Maou and Yuusha don't spent as much time together as before, but at the same time it get pretty epic from other points of the story. And the times when they will be together are really good.

He should've at least kissed her though :(

Lol @ "useless meat" flashback X D

When they were describing something in the beginning I was surprised they were making potato chips! It then all made sense when she brought in the potatoes to the convent. This episode was paced nicely with the events that took place and the foreshadowing. Hiroshi Kamiya's character and the Ice General in particular piqued my interest the most.

As for the romance between Yuusha and Maou, it's a little frustrating on his part for making his girlfriend feel so insecure but at least he told her outright Female Knight and Mage were just comrades and nothing more. When she tried to kiss him and only got a forehead peck only to leave quick without saying by, I was feeling sad for Maou. Don't worry Maou! He'll come back : )

I need a big map of this world to see how it all fits together. I get confused with all the territories.

Miyuki Sawashiro's voice is a welcome addition to this show. She always makes her characters more memorable than they should be.

Really loving this show. The dialogue, the pacing... probably the strongest of this season (not including sequels... Chihayafuru..etc).

So if this will turn out to be harem (I don't think so... but who knows) our dear Hero will be between woman that can bring death and misfortune on him in most painfull way.... and the Demon Queen.

Nothing special here but I liked that they are using time to show world better with different fractions ruling it.

Another nice episode.

I like how this is a lot like a thought experiment on the introduction of "advanced" technology in a medieval fantasy setting. Ok, it's not entirely original, but I don't think it has been explored enough.

It also works well as an introduction course for economy and politics, given that it doesn't go too deep. Though I definitely would love it if they do go deeper later.

This was a decent episode I guess.

I get really annoyed with males in anime that seem to be so clueless around females. Naturally, the kiss scene annoyed the hell out of me. I don't know why anime has so much of that BS.

Anyways, the economics and politics aspect of this anime is pretty enjoyable, though I have mixed feelings overall so far.

Hero is really not clueless, he just chooses to ignore it, and hope for the best. . . he is not very smart, but still he's not as clueless as you might think.

I get the whole plot thing. essentially wars are started for lack of resources. If Mao and hero can help build infrastructure to better people's lives then the need for war would be lessened. still that aspect of the show is too much. It need more to keep it interesting.

Seriously though, the MC running away from the woman thing is getting annoying. It's a mid-evil type story. Stop trying to make warrior period males into soshoku douchebags.

As I see it he's backing himself into a position where suicide with a spoon would be less painful.

Also somewhat annoyed at him keeping Maou at arms length, but I'm just going to assume he's hiding something.

Nothing exciting, so I'm sure this irritates the hell out of some people, but I found it interesting.

Hmmm, so inside the chest is POTATO. The thing Maou invented is a COMPASS, and the DARK ARMOR looks cool.
So far, it's still not that interesting yet, but I enjoyed it.

Yuusha kissing Maou's forehead was cute :) I also really like how much effort Maou puts into making the world a better place with starvation and war. I wonder how the knight would react if she ever finds out that Maou is...well, the Maou.

I find it very curious that in order to hide their identities, they have to hide their occupations, as they are essentially their names.

Average episode. Nothing funny or too interesting. This episode would make an Irish man proud, what with all that interesting facts about potatoes.

Seriously? Another cross dresser character? This seems to be a fad with this season anime.

Indeed, I'm pretty meh with this anime so far and I doubt its will get much better. Lets hope I'm wrong but so far its a very below average anime.

After watching this episode, I suppose I can understand why this was such a hit as a web novel. To be fair, the plot isn't anything sophisticated. You have two people coming together to secure world peace by improving people's livelihood. But the charm of this series (for those who actually like it) really lies with its simplicity. It doesn't try to be ambitious. Some basic nation-building knowledge, some cute romance, some ecchi humor...there's a bit of everything, but no more.

I personally have liked this series so far, but like someone else said above, there's no point in having a high expectation for it. This isn't going to be an epic saga, and you probably don't need to think much going through it, but yeah, the simplicity.

I agree. Because of the S&W similarity to this show, i think that's why they've set their expectations high.

Oh well, as for me, i enjoyed it. Knowing the secret weapon (potato) was a shock.

3 months in blue hero & red queen go a church who meet with knight-nun who worked with blue hero as where were you & slap the hero for it?

give all patch up give mage is still search for hero yet red queen reason to chruch to expand it have a church for red queen's area give her box of POTATO & nun-knight is in.

all well give red queen is concern about the alliance faction group while hero worry for mage so red queen give hero a dark armor to handle demon land & get the mage.

while also red queen worry her "potato" are not good for hero with top maid going make "sure" it ok.

I really don't see why people can't draw a line when comparing and instead of pointing out obvious similarities see the differences as well. Maou is only 3 episodes in, for all you know it could do somethings better then S&W when all is said and done, the view that many S&W fanboys hold for this series is gonna blind them even if it does improve and that is disappointing...that simply because a series holds similarities they can't acknowledge the things it does well.
