The plot thickens.

I freakin knew it! Maou might not be all bad, maybe it's all his general Lucifer's fault, like killing Emilia's dad? Since it's not Maou that's leading the forces.

As for Chii-chan's misunderstanding, a woman in his house, and we should've known what that means. A woman don't just go to a man's house like that, not to mention they never really cleared up their misunderstanding before.

Hataraku Maou-sama is so enjoyable!

So now what we have is a love triangle, a girl who is bitter because of her father death and a demon that seem to be able to manipulate entirely his power.

Oh, we also have a couple of friend of Emi coming to save. But ironically, the seisme are surely due to them, so they could have killed innocent people just for that :P

I don't know why, but I had a feeling that we would hear about Lucifer, it's a pretty common name in term of demon. It's probably her that shooted at them.

Poor Chi-chan, misinterpreting everything :(

That lanlord is fucking weird, who is she? Is everyone in that anime coming from the other world?? xD

Great episode! Aww, I feel bad for Emi. She has a sad past. I also feel bad for Chi-chan. She ran away crying. I guess she really does love Maou. Shipping MaouXChi-chan!

Oh man that had me laughing. I'm really enjoying this show. It's awesome!

Interesting landlady is interesting. Also the introduction of 3 new characters from the "old" world.
He is insane. xD

Wish this had rendered better. I guess this is my penalty for watching in LQ...

Ahah. This scene. I guess they aren't used to the dimensions of their weak bodies, perhaps.

I thought, at first, that the bad guy (apart from Satan, of course) was going to be the person who was coming through the Portal with Emilia, but somehow got lost... Was convinced there was going to be a double cross going on. There was, but on the other side!

Really enjoying this so far. Very intriguing. And Mikity knows some shizz, too...

It might be, not sure since I don't know the details, I'll spoiler tag it anyway.
That would actually explain a lot if that was the case.

Anyways, Hope Chi is alright, although this doesn't seem like the type of show to just kill off a character like that.

Emi and Maou's relationship is pretty funny xD But did Maou really do all of those terrible things in the other world? Because, damn, he is such a nice guy on Earth.

Poor Chiho, though. Of course she'd walk in at the wrong time and misunderstand things lol
Also, poor Emi. She's had a lot of crap happen to her in her life.

And shit just got real at the end there :O

Amazing episode.
Is it just me or the soundtrack of this anime is downright awesome?
So Lucifer was the responsible for those "magic bullets" and some more humans from Ente Isla are coming to the Earth cause the Sonar's they lauched detected Maou and Emilia... Sounds interesting XD
But, if Lucifer can get some magic from human's desperation, does that mean Maou can too?.....
So Emilia's past is sadder that I thought... I would ask Maou the same questions if I was her. Why the hell is he so gentle? Guess he is changing...
And who is that landlady?

Looks like the landlady might be from Ente Isla.

Sad how Emi got taken away from her father at such a young age. I still hate her though.

Oh shit Chi thinks Maou is cheating on her.

The soundtrack in this anime is indeed awesome.

Lucifer's hot. * o *

Great episode. That ending was fucking intense...

8.5/10 My favorite episode thus far.

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?

lol not all dark lords are like Voldemort...and plus, they don't have power right now, and they aren't brainless, maybe using all the power they had, they can kill some humans to satisfy their blood lust, but then what? Completely powerless, they'll get caught and maybe even experimented on by the humans they distaste.

So the only thing they can do now is earn money to earn a living, while finding ways to regain their power. And while working at MgRonalds, Maou realized how it's like being a human (remember in this eps, when Yuusha asked him why he can be nice if he killed her dad? He said it's cuz he didn't understand humans then). Which means this change of him could be due to his now-understanding of humans.

What a sad past for Yuusha. Who is the landlord. She knew everything about Maou and Yuusha. Even about the quakes. Damn Lucifer makes his appearance and next week looks like they will battle it out. Won't their identities be revealed then?

Nah, they're just cosplayers.

lol
And Ashiya clawing the wall...lol...
and that Lucifer in the end...damn he looks cool! (I love one-sided bangs xD)

Probably the ones traveling through that gate now will save them from Lucifer.

Poor Yusa she is so confused right now ;(

Hell yeah I knew this guy would be lucifer based on his appearance and the stories between Satan & Lucifer in Shin Megami Tensei games and the bible (Lucifer being just the hebrew word Helel mistranslated when it was used as "morning star" or "shining one" in reference to the Babylonian King though... It became a synonym for "the Devil" in pop culture)

Poor chi-chan though.

Also who the fuck is that landlady \(o_o)'/

Worst episode thus far: the vibes weren't coherent at all. Emi told about her deceased father and was really emotional/serious and a few seconds later she forgets all about it. Meh. Too much humour is never good althrough the humour in the first 3 episodes was really good.

Also it's cool, apparently our demon lord caused Emilia's father's death... but could it be Lucifer's doing?

:/ Agreed. I guess switching back and forth between two different languages got confusing for the studio.



And just when we were going to hear about Satan explain his feelings towards humans Chiyo pops up. Perfect.

Well, with all that backstory of Emilia, all fun character interactions stopped being so funny... Well, there had to be a serious reason for him to be the bad and she to hate him...

Oh wow, suddenly character development with that argument between Emi and Mao... Things got serious, she cries because of her anger towards her sworn enemy and killed so much people in their world and now is so nice with everyone in this world... wow...
‎‎‎―and suddenly...
A wild Chiho appears... Awkward~.

In the end, I knew Lucifer had to play a roll in all this since in the first episode 3 out of 4 Satan's Commanders fell except Lucifer.

Im quite enjoying this series, but excactly the content of Emi's outburst is, whats hindering me from giving it a high rating. His nice behaviour just doesnt make sense, having destroyed millions of lives before (or however big the Ente country (LOL, btw it means duck and sounds totally ridicilous for a German)). I hope the episode explaining this doesnt take too long, why he suddenly started to respect life and so on. Mixing serious stuff in a comedy series can work, but it still must be convincing, otherwise the serious part is just annoying and totally feels off, which will result in less enjoyment.

One problem with watching too many dubs too close together is connecting characters to others with the same VA, every time I hear Chi speak I can't help but hear a mixture of Happy from Fairy Tail and Yoshinon from Date a Live

As far as the episode goes, it was another decent entry following the same format of mixing drama with comedy. Alciel seems to be filling the more slapstick role with exaggerated reactions and expressions, and general silliness which is good when it's done right and, it seems to be so far.

The moment that caught my attention, was that Emi looked the most angry when Mao said sorry after her backstory scene. Partially because she's insulted he would even dare try to apologise for the things that happened in Ente Isla, and partially because she wants to hate him more than she actually does. Decent character stuff in small doses
