I have a secret weapon!!!!! ----- Potato...

This is an enjoyable anime, but it isn't one that I expect too much out of. That being said with the addition of the dark armor, I expect the pacing of the episodes to be alot faster.. But as always Demon King is adorable.... And Hero is super shy....

Also I enjoy the addition of the Knight character, and if she gets good development, she might become a favorite. I enjoy the manliness hidden in a nun aspect.

Another enjoyable episode. While I don't think this is as good as S&W (yet), it does surpass the aforementioned series in some categories, such as music and overall animation. However, as of now, I believe S&W to be wittier in its conversations. Which isn't to say that the dialogues in Maoyuu aren't interesting, though.

Am I the only one that noticed the giant fucknig demon walrus in this episode... srsly where did he come from? Yeah this is no S&W but its still pretty enjoyable, some elements are starting to bug me a little though.

I'm so confused in this anime. I think right now its like a 7/10, i mean its both boring and entertaining at the same time. I hope it gets better though, I'm still kind of confused why they're doing what theyre doing

A wild DEREBAN appeared. lol

The Guild appears to be more malevolent though. Still Young Merchant looks nice.

Overall nice pacing. Although 10 eps left...is it enough to cover it all i wonder.

Yuusha shouldn't call Maou's name sound like the hongkong girl in FMP. It sound so weird, the seiyuu should just pronounce it Maou as in Demon . xD

The compass is just a bait for those young businessman. Maou is planning something big.
Compass was place above water back then and its almost impossible the balance dat needle on the ship lol.
The new version of the compass has very simple design yet it was ingenious . Thus,it can be easily duplicated by outsider but those businessman want to monopoly that compass. Maou is smart for choosing a compass as a perfect bait .^_^

please stop comparing between S&W and this series..both have different story.

Great episode. I'm looking forward to more of the romance as it develops throughout the coming episodes.
The Demon Knight armor looks awesome. Can't wait for when the show starts to get more serious with some of the fights etc.

Yup; well, I like it a lot. The whole point is to understand what an anime has to offer and what not. Then decide if you want what it offers and don't mind lacking what it doesn't. This way you will always enjoy what you are watching. In this case, the anime offers a cute (babby) romance, some basic but witty economics, probably some fights later on, unnecessary flesh, some political machinations, and, why hide it, a strong and naive hero adored by two beautiful and imposing women: a brilliant scholar/politician and a rough, tomboyish knight with a pure heart. It does not offer mature romance, deep philosophy, grimdarkness, realistic social behaviors, fanservice free experience... really, it is quite easy to see all this and gauge if you are willing to go on or not. If not, fantastic. If yes, again fantastic. I cannot picture either of the two routes leading to frustration or irritation.

Yet another brilliant episode.

I feared for pacing, but the whole thing so far flows very nicely.

Love the characters, so far. Hero is clearly a "traditional RPG Hero", but at the same time he is VERY self-aware of what he is, which makes his character fresher and allows for some nice deconstruction of the genre moments.

Demon King on other hand is shown to be strong-willed, intelligent, smart and powerful woman, with enough flaws and weaknesses to be relatable and interesting.

Head-maid continues to be quirky and entertaining and the continuing presence of already introduced characters is great.

Plot-wise this is intriguing and awesome: I love seeing all the politics play out and all those conspiracies brewing in the background. That's one of the best things about this show so far.

Mao - "I'm here locked in this mansion, in the cold of winter with you for SIX MONTHS... locked, in my room... alone.... FOR THE WRATH OF THE DEVIL, FUFUFUFUFUCK ME I NOT STAND IT ANYMORE... PLEASE GWWWWWRRR!

Hero - "Nope"


...aff




About the potatoes, I've concluded the sixth grade of the elementary school, so...

Mao is a mix of knowledge with astounding ingenuity. What she wants by giving that compass to the Alliance, revealing her "identity"? She herself says that the Alliance working as an organization, so any information not strictly confidential would spread out inside there. Now she has no way to pass incognito after she revealed, and will now have spies disrupting it.

The only things I´m a bit displeased with is that they don´t go in depth with the Potato and field thing in this episode like they did in first episode about war. Through I already know about the Potato & Field sowing things I think that they should properly explain it as some people maybe don´t know about these things.

The pacing is a bit fast (WOW suddenly six months went by?) It feels like they jump too quickly through time.

I want some proper explantion...

But I love the Maid flashback (Useless meat lol) and how Maou dubbed Yuusha´s old woman commerades "Old flame 1 & 2" XD

It may be because Yuusha is hiding something. I can´t wait to see him in the armor hehehhe.

Maybe I should go read the Novel and Manga. Maybe more explaintions are offered. Also would be nice to see the difference.

The OP and ED for this anime are truly some of the best I have ever heard.

This episode was another great one. It may be too early now, but I'm gonna call this as anime of the season right here. I am truly enjoying every minute of it so far.

So assassination attempt on Maou and the Hero might not be there to protect her? Seems the plot is really starting to get going now.

I naturally have a strong dislike for medieval settings. I don't find economics interesting and I dislike male leads that don't make any romantic progression in 6 months.
He better have a good reason for not going in for the kiss.

I agree... I don't like hero so far, there has been no developments between them so far and I'm annoyed by main characters that act like this, I feel sorry for Maou. I feel like there will be no development, and when we reach almost the end of the series they will suddenly be all lovey

Because that's pretty much grade-school education stuff that every single educated human being went through?

THe whole "oh look, how they brought it back from new world, hated the plant itself for so long and then learned to use its roots" thing is counted as "best thing ever" in most of history classes due to the whole nature of the perspective and outlook towards potato taking a 180 degree turn.

There are animes, which progress much faster than Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, even though I am not sure, if we think about the same animes.

Well idk about this anime it's just not catching on for me.
The story seems like this would be a very generic/cliche ride
The environment artwork is really really nice and the animation is good but the characters aren't anything special in fact I see them as rather dull.
Also the beginning brought about relationship between the was handled really weird to me , it felt random.
This anime feels like it would be best as a movie idk just my thoughts

Aww, this is when we won't see Maou and Hero together for a while. Can't wait to see the New Year's celebration being animated.

I love the deconstruction of the dark ages through Maou, she is like the best women ever in anime history.

It's so clever and has really good soundtrack and I'm fond of the art, it also makes me wanna play Harvest Moon again haha.

Anyway, the episode was great, I really, really love all the travelling/backgrounds/sceneries once again and the introduction of the Church ("old flame" lol) and Merchant Guild (Who are greedy/self-preserving and control 60% of the Wheat trade) were great too. Maou promotes farming, in exchange for the Church to branch off further and guide/educate the villages, and Yuusha goes to save his second "old flame". We also get a bit of intimacy between the 2 at the end there. Not bad, I'm definitely going to re-watch all 12 episodes again after it finishes airing at this rate.
