ll these little things COULD add up to something, or at least I thought so.


That's a good thought, I never really thought of the clock motif in the ending meaning anything or having her in the Charlie Chaplin outfit being a sign, but you could be on to something.

I had previously mentioned that Chiho being proficient at archery showed that she was more serious than we had been led to believe (I think I brought this up around the 4th episode when everyone was hating her), and in the fifth episode I was curious how she could understand the Isle language when it was spoken to her (in previous episodes it was a mental broadcast because she was focused on Maou), but there it was clear that she understood the language naturally.

Then in the 6th episode, the go to school, they mentioned that a girl had been spirited away some 20 or 30 years previously, and I was speculating that this girl was either Chiho's mother or grandmother and that was why Chiho understood the language. I dropped it for lack of evidence, but your insight raises it back up. We know the landlord knows what is going on, we know that Chiho's father was one of the first people Maou met (and supposedly brainwashed), we know that Chiho's mother already accepts her hanging around Maou (there is no indication that they know who he is, but letting her go to a strange man's apartment alone seems to show that she knows something).

There have been some other cluses that there is more to her as well.

My guess is that Chiho doesn't know herself, but I guessing she is half demon (as Emi is half angel).

Takuan, thanks for your reply. You added lots of things that I had more or less forgotten about in the early ep's.

Do YOU think she looks creepy in the final shot of the ED?

Humm, now that you mention it I can see what you are saying.

I had thought that the picture seemed strange, though I just passed it off that the artist was trying to make her look more mature than the lolita as she had normally been portrayed and really didn't put much thought into it.

But if you think about it, that isn't a natural smile, the corners of her mouth are turned up further than they should be based on how little her mouth is open. That is what you are finding creepy. Whether or not that was deliberate by the artist, of course I don't know, but your point about a possible meaning behind the entire ED is something I will keep in mind over the next couple of episodes.

I am really hoping for a second season, so we may not find out before the end of this one. I do know that Chiho is still a character in the 8th novel, so she isn't going away anytime soon.

why is there a choice? they both add to the show and arent mutually exclusive. Chi's mix of assertiveness and good naturedness is lovely and Emi's mix of golden hearted hero and ex-bloodknight misadjustment jerkassedness is just as lovely.

The show would be lesser without them.

We're not talking about the show being more or less enjoyable without one of them, but which of the two we want to be Maou's girl.

As far as storytelling goes. I'll go with emi. Maou and her as couple would make an amazing comedy. She doesn't need to lose every bit of her tsun-ness, and the both of them could make the rest of us laugh for life.

i dunna, they would go along better as battle comrades while still trading the snark as a remnant of their "eternal" ex- rivalry

I dont see the chemistry, but chemistry doesnt rely on sight to form, just circumstance. So its totally possible for them to hook up.

Chi-chan. Emi is a really, really generic tsundere and her interactions with Maou are overdone. Plus Chi-chan is overall a lot cuter then Emi, both in appearance and personality.

And Chiho is such a unique moeblob isn't she? Hate to break it to you pal, but that shorty is a much more of a generic unusually big-boobed air-headed annoying fan service material with same old generic cute girl-in-love personality.

Btw the things you said about Emi are some lame jokes buddy. At least make your delusions a little bit more entertaining.

Is this a real question?

Boobs-chan all the way.

Also @some of the other comments made here.

All the girls are generic tropes in this show. Tsundere-hero-chan, Kuudere-inquisitor-tan, Boobs-fanservice-nee-chan.

I'd personally like to see Maou-san end up as a store manager. Who gives a shit what girl he dates, he's trying to move up in life. Thats what makes this show so awesome.

It's so blatantly making fun of how dumb harem shows are, that it even makes fun of how dumb we are as harem anime fans.

We are all trying to decide what girl this dude should marry and all he wants is to go to work and do his freaking job.

Also, I'm on team Chi-chan. But she wont win. Shes featured in the ED every episode crying. She isn't going to win.

OH snap it just hit me that shes the first girl he sees. Well, book it. She wins.

Sorry to disappoint you. I haven't read the LNs but i have heard enough spoilers to know that she is the loser. Just take a peak at vol 7-8 covers and you can wake up from that nice dream. Besides Maou isn't romantically interested in her even though she confessed. Those big melons doesn't have any effect on him which is a damn good thing.

But i do agree with you about the store manager part though. It will be fun.

I'm fairly torn on this split.
Although I usually don't mind tsundere characters, I think I've given in on the moeblob this time around.
There have been some interesting portions in the anime between the 2 different girls to Maou, but my vote goes to Chi-Chan.

Eh... I rather have Emi end up with Maou or neither. Chi and Maou seems wrong to me because it looks like he sees her as a little sister if anything. And with Emi, at this point, are more like frienemies, but they have more of a chance of being together. As someone mentioned, it's too early to really tell. :/

The friend here is Chi. Or more like lil sister. If you can't see the subtle signs then me pointing them out won't make you believe anyway.

Definitely chi-chan for me. She's so adorable and also makes for some of the funniest moments of the show. She might be my first small anim crush in a while.

Judging by where the light novels are going, it's pretty obvious at this point that Maou is going to end up with the girl I paired him up with. Man, it sure feels good to not be on the ship bedecked with holes (or a ghost ship, when I have my fujoshi goggles activated for non-BL series) for once.

Emi although I hope she stops being so violent. Like when Maou caught her when she fell down the stairs and she just assaults him. I know she's his sworn enemy and everything but damn lol. Chiho I find annoying but I'm rarely a fan of ditzy girls like her. Besides, if they did end up together Emi could have his back in a fight. Chiho would be a damsel in distress.

Still a blatantly shippy art.
Why do I have a feeling this Director is acting like that one who directed Nurarihyon no Mago Season 1 and tried to make the side female lead into the main lead (and sabotaged the main one)... and if we don't get a second season, this guy may make an "Maou x Chiho" anime-original ending -_-;
