"OMG, It's only got one heart." Goddamn, Ashiya has some fucking awesome lines. And the reply: "Ashiya-san! I don't know about demons, but one is all we've got!" Fucking gold, right there. And the Landlord. Oh God, that must be one powerful photo to be able to defeat the Demon Lord and two of his strongest subordinates, Alsiel and Lucifer.

This episode did not let me down. Just like another awesome episodes of Hataraku. I think there will be more and more new characters along the way that will be on the Maou side.
I thought that Lucifer would be some kind of insane person that will be prisoned, but in fact he act just like pre-teen. I wonder how come someone like him become a general of the demon.
Though a little bit childish, he mastered all about computer, networking, internet, and all related to it. And he succeeded in hacking into Yuusha computer in her office. Nice work, Lucifer!
So, PSP=PASTA. What a funny name replacement. And one more, Amazon=Jungle? Hilarious!
Yet another new character arrived. And it is a female. Might it be that female will have a crush on Maou too? We will find out in the next episode!

Great opening. Burn meat burn! Lucifer is such a troll, can't he go out on his own anymore? Also Ashiya's weapon of choice is hilarious xD

It feels kinda off to me that they manage to get a PC and internet while being on such a low budget. Even more incredible is that they are now three demon guys living in a small room and not trying to kill each other, though it's fun to see how settled down they are in the human world. (Chiho-chan's classmate yaoi reaction was great too ^^)

New girl - I did expect her to show up at the school to threaten the group though she didn't. The change in the opening makes her seem like a good guy already.


From what i get from LNs the time Skip at the beginning episode is about nearly a year i think.
As for the pc and internet i think lucifer bought those two) with what Ashiya saved for emergency without telling the maou and Ashiya.

I'm also curious.

As for the episode, loved it. Lucifer adds a whole new dynamic that I think works pretty well. I know it's not gonna happen, but I really wish the new chick would fall for one of the side characters instead of Maou. Love dodecahedron's just aren't my thing.

All of you can read our LN weekly sales update in the News Board to see how HaMaou is doing as the anime is aired: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=596275

And for the prospect of BD sales, you can read my analysis in the BD sales thread in the News Board: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=596995&show=40#msg21920001

As for this episode, what I heard is that except the first part (of yakiniku/bbq meat) and the last part (new udon character) the episode is almost wholly anime original although there are bits and pieces from the original novel here and there in it. I think the anime original material is handled rather well and I did not notice things out of place at all. Jobs well done. And happy that we have the finished ED too!
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.

Old school building, 7 mysteries, mannequin, could all of that be some kind of quotation of Tasogare Otome x Amnesia?

Nice episode anyway, the landlord pic thing killed me at the beginning lol


Seven School Mysteries are a coomon theme in stories with Japanese schools. Both Tasogare and Maou are just few of the many stories that have this.

Reason for my vote, with the low rate of comedy seen in this episode and designs a little too sketchy at times during the narration, I want the series to resume marching on the same level as the beginning series! Beautiful plot that always shows us a glimpse daily life of those who were once heroes and demons and now mere mortals with a normal life tremendously! facial expressions of Chi-chan were nice! XD

The second anime to have a PS Vita in it. I'll be keeping track of this. Since it's sold less than 5 million world wide it's impressive it's in 2 anime this season. I don't remember seeing 3ds's in anime recently.

Anyways, a weaker episode this week. Wondering if there will be any romantic progression.


Well in Naruto SD. Though it was mentioned but not seen. Naruto wished that Santa would bring him a 3DS. XD

The amount of Chiho in the ED is giving me a bad feeling, like something's going to happen to her. Actually, the amount of concentration on Chiho in general.

Can't wait for next week!! These episodes are just too short.

The betrayal of Olba still puzzles me. I didn't get the motive of Olba for him to betray her in the last episode.
To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Like he admitted in ep 5, it's b/c he didn't want her to lord it over him after she defeated Maou. It's his power game. Even if she doesn't boast it (and I doubt she would), it will boost her influence in church and Ente Isla regardless of her will. In other words, he found her presence intimidating to him and church. Yeah, she can be a potential threat to them hierarchy/power wise even if she doesn't want to. e.g. People may start to listen to her rather than church, people may take her as a primary authority over church, she may get a higher position, and so on.

This episode is right at the point of transition of vol.1 to vol.2 of the LN, and the LN has EIGHT volumes out so far. At this pace, we can have four seasons of it and still not reach the end of it....

Not exactly quite sure behind Maou's reasoning to take in Lucifer... I mean the guy shot a hole through you and try to usurp your power, and now he's your roommate? At least he adds to the funnyz.

Anyhoo, hilarious episode and a great watch still! Didn't like the filler feel but at least there was some progress near the end with the introduction of the new character.

Depends on your expectations I suppose.
If you're looking for more comedy, it stays strong for the next 5 volumes.
However, by Vol.8 we are beginning to see more emphasis on serious plots, so those prefer pure comedy may feel deterred by it.

Sounds great, the show is gaining popularity, I hope the it will continue.

So I guess the new girl will move in as well, that makes it a household family of working farther, housewife, teen son and daughter - this show could become a hilarious sitcom ^^
