| I'm PRAYING they'll release a video of the recordings of the first few maou laguage scenes, I can't comprehend how they manage to make those sounds and if it's just gibberish or if it's a real "language" someone came up with XD Very good first episode, though I dislike the idea of the female hero showing up. Please don't let it become a romantic comedy, please don't let it become romantic, pleade don't. |
| so apparently satan is a little cutie, huh? :3 nice beginning. especially the first few minutes were really great. all in all a pretty nice episode. there are a lot of shitty anime starts atm, but this one surprised me. |

| Its pretty nice imo, the characters are like(able), and definitely a good comedy so far. But honestly the first intense fighting intro is pretty good enough to make a side story only involving the fight on Ente Isla! Animation and visuals and SFX are superb specially mainly on the fight scenes. Would be nice if it can get 26 episodes, mostly 12-13 episode series tend to... you know :/ and Emilia!1 <3 |

| Geez, the beautiful action scenes in the beginning makes me want this to be some Fate/zero type thing... Anyway I thought the premise was good and it was pretty funny, although I saw the chick being the hero from a mile away. I wish the pink-haired chick would be the main heroine due to cuteness, pigtails, and TITS! I'm really, really worried this is gonna degrade into some slice of life shit. Yeah that's kindov, the premise, but I'm worried they'll forget their original goals, of they'll be lots of plot holes etc. |

luigi-dude said: I'm worried they'll forget their original goals, of they'll be lots of plot holes etc. I'm only on chapter 5 on the manga (the rest haven't been translated yet) but so far there's a nice blend between the slice of life/comedy/fantasy genres. I hope the anime follows the manga because the manga's pretty good, at least a 7 on a MAL-scale rating. That being said there's more of a comedy bent to the story so do expect some plot holes for the sake of that. |

| Having read the chapters of the manga that the scanlation group has done so far, I must say that I still found this hilarious, and it even explained or clarified more so some things that I had been wondering based on the 6 chapters I had read. And Alsiel definitely has a more comedic and colorful (may not be the right word to use for what I'm thinking but since it's the only word that's coming to mind at the moment I'll go with that) character in the anime. Looking forward to the many more laughs that are bound to come in the next episode! |
(Almost) 13 years on MAL! ()__() (='.'=) (")_(") |
| loving this anime, funny as hell XD |
 |
| After they entered the human world, there the episode became so funny, I think my favorite part was when Asaiel or whatever was shocked that the apartment people were able to understand him lol. This looks like it will be a great anime |

| I laughed out loud quite a bit. Seems cool actually and and I liked the fact they were detailed about the little things, like not going from a to b without much explanation, disregarding the opening sequence and backstory of course, but it seems irrelevant, as it's mostly about life on Earth and it's mishaps anyway. I'm interested about the unknown language though. It seems made-up, or some very corrupted European language. |
| I love this anime already. |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| Alright, that was fucking hilarious. I love how it starts all tense with the fighting and such with a big emphasis on our MC being the 'Dark Lord', but the when they come to Earth they mingled in so perfectly! xD Hilarious to see the 'Dark Lord' going nuts for a pay raise, permanent position and stuff and the two of them bickering over savings. Definitely a awesome start. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| I would have preferred for the first few minutes not to exist. It was terribly hard to accept the change in behavior of the lord and his servant once they started living in our world (Maoyuu Maou Yuusha handled something similar remarkably better). Still, after that wore off, it was okay. 3/5. |
| Kyou kara Maou's total opposite! ^o^ Also really like Saint☆Onii-san ! ^o^ I didn't have any expectation for this one, and even didn't plan to watch the first episode, but up to now, I'm glad I watched it because I liked it! I hope it will not turn harem... or too ecchi... I know they want BD/DVD to sell well but... over fanservice kills the fanservice! Dako said: Wow, I found it strangely funny! Seeing the Devil King become demoted to a human and have to work his way up the ranks was satisfying. It was charming to see him get excited for a 100 yen payrise and other things. Keeping a close eye on this one. For a job paid around 800yen/hour, 100 yen is a big payrise! Soshinra said: It has more serious moments then I expected. I don't remember the novel having so much serious moments until the latter chapters. I hope the anime will continue to be low on fan service like the original series is. I'm worried because of the preview... I can bear little fanservice, specially if it's comedy, but if it turn like so many other over fanservice anime... I will know next week! The stupid big tits little co-worker is more than enough... also hope that it will not turn in harem series... I'd prefer ecchi fanservice than harem... TheLilyanna said: Apparently, people in Japan doesn't give a shit about earthquakes xD  Well, it's really like this! At least for most people! Some are very really really scared, but it's usually because of a big earthquake in their childhood! Usually, it's like: "ah, an earthquake! Want to eat ramen this evening?" |
      |
| Not bad. And somehow funny. I am curious what happens next. Another show I will watch. |
| I didn't come to this anime with high hopes as I just found out about it. It was really good, funny as hell and everything I need for a good anime. Gonna wait for it each week now ! |
 |
| Really surprised at the beginning funny and unlikely, it was a nice surprise, I liked it a lot the first graphic was also well done. I hope you do not ruin it with going forward, but it remains a series of original points! The'll watch for sure! |
 |
| Hilarious! Does anyone know if the "demon language" is based off an actual language or if it's just gibberish? |
| Fun show, definitely going to keep watching this one. |
 |
| never thought it would be that funny xDD ahh i love it! |
| Probably one of the best this season |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| I thought it was gonna be more of a magic-ish show. There wasn't really any boring parts for me either, I'll be expecting the next episode for sure. |
| The demon language is definitely intentional gibberish. I don't think I have ever heard such language. Anway, from next episode preview, it seems that Emilia is going to live with them, to keep an eye on them. This will be great~ |
| Nice first episode. I hope it keeps up. |
| Y SO many nice anime's this season??? |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

| This one came as a surprise, I certainly didn't expected it to turn into a comedy, but of course that is my fault, I didn't read the synopsis LOL... But still it was a nice surprise, it really made me laugh, if they keep it like this it may be one of my favs this season... |
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good... |
| I was wrong. This is the best anime of the season. I started laughing the moment they met those police officers and nearly fell off my chair when they first spoke with the estate agents. Maou : I'm looking for a room. (broken Japanese) Agent : What kind of room would you like? Alsiel : They understood. (Demon Gibberish) Maou : Calm down, Alsiel! (Demon Gibberish). And of course, Katsu-Dhum. |
 |
| Couldn't stop laughing.This is well done comedy right here, can't wait to see more!!! |
 |
| Excited to watch this! |
 |
| Whoa was not expecting this to be as funny as it was. |
| I thought that this gonna be serious but when they got into the human world, they're very hilarious and on top of that their language is kinda odd especially when they went to a real estate. :3 Thumbs up for this. I am looking forward to their awesomeness. XD |
| This is definitely one of the more interesting shows this spring. I don't really go for comedies but this one has me hooked already. Can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| Khatsu-dum!!!! :3 By the way, the apartment they're renting looks like the same with the apartment in Honey and Clover. XD |
| wow it was as great as I expected!!!! |
 |
| the landlady looks like the witch from howl's moving castle |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| their language is the funniest thing i've seen in an anime in a looooong time. i liked the first one. landlord lady looks like an creepily interesting character. |
| This Anime is amazing!! |
 |
| Loved it! Absolutely hilarious. On top of that, it actually has some interesting ideas at work beneath the creative and over-the-top story. The message seems to be heading to a been there done that typical "what it means to be human"-scenario, even so the show remains entertaining. I hope this carries through the rest of the episodes. The animation, art, nor sound is anything special, but the direction is simply something else! Well worth the wait. A very strong first episode, 8/10 I particularly loved the scenes when Satan and Alsiel (sp?) were still adjusting to their new environment and learning the language. The demonic tongue added a spice and flair to the show that accentuated the comedic and awkward moments. |
